Away back on March 8, 1952 Andy Hebenton laced on his skates for the old Victoria Cougars in the Pacific Coast league. On that occasion Hebenton helped his club in a 2-0 win over Tacoma and his consecutive playing Streak was started. From that time on, Handy Andy played 1,000 consecutive games in his professional career that has him this year back in Victoria, where he started his skein. The 37-year-old Hebenton spent nine years in the NHL, eight with the New York Rangers and one with the Boston Bruins. In his iron man stint achieved during 15 of 17 seasons in his pro career, Andy has also participated in 69 play-off games bringing his grand consecutive game total to 1,057 as of two weeks ago. No athlete, either in professional or amateur ranks, is even close to threatening Hebenton's record. On and off the ice, the quiet unassuming right winger enjoys great popularity in Victoria, his off- season home since he turned pro in 1949. Born on October 3, 1929, the "quiet man" became a big hit with Victoria fans when he teamed up with Reg Abbott and Bob Frampton to form a prolific "kid line" that helped the Cougars to the PCHL champ 4 L nship in the 1950-51 season. Heben,,zin achieved another distinction by win- ning the most-gentlemanly-player award in both the National and Western leagues, He won the Lady Byng trophy in 1957 while with the Rangers. The Byng's counterpart in the west, the Fred J. Hume trophy, was presented to Hebenton following the 1964-65 season while with Portland. An Andy Hebenton "appreciation night" is be- ing held this week in Victoria to honour his dura- bility. Among plans they have in store for Andy is a "dollar a game" scheme. The idea, aimed at giving fans a chance to participate in the night, is to raise the sum of $1,000—a dollar for each of the consecu- tive games played by Hebenton. Each contributor will have his name regis- tered on a scroll to be presented to Andy. Assurance of support has already been received from many Victoria business men. In addition, officials from the National and Western leagues will be invited to join in on the festivities. COMPARING BROTHERS Brothers usually have at least one thing in common. Comparing the Mahovlich boys, Frank the "Big M" of the Maple Leafs and his younger brother Peter of the Red Wings, we find the only point on which they are alike is their ability to score goals. Right from the word go, they are different. Frank is shy and reserved and Pete is an extrovert and a package of personality. The Big M is a man of comparatively few words even when he is in the midst of one of his salary struggles with his bosses at Maple Leaf Gar- dens. Reports have it that if Pete ever gets involved in one of these money debates, it's going to be a field day for reporters and sportscasters. In the food department, the younger Mahov- lich is the king. According to teammate Gary Berg- man, Pete eats doubles of everything. "What an eater — world champion and only 20", exclaimed Bergman. Since the season started, young Peter, who kiddingly calls himself "Brand X" brother, has gained eight pounds. This puts him up to 208, a rea- sonable weight for a growing young man of six foot three. While commenting on the Mahovlich boys it appears the two NHL clubs that currently own their services broke fairly even in the scouting business. Sid Abel, who runs the Wings, likes to think they stole Pete from the Toronto club. His assistant, Johnny Mitchell, is sure they did, and it gives him a lot of joy. "Makes up for Frank Mahovlich. You know they stole him from us," fumed Mitchell. "I was the first guy to talk to him. He was at Schumacher where I signed Bill Barilko and four other kids, years be- fore." At that time he was too young to sign and later on the Leafs were first in line. Abel declines credit for the Pete Mahovlich theft, although he makes it plain the stigma of such larceny would be easy to bear. Jimmy Skinner, one time coach of the Wings and now their chief scout is responsible for the snatch. Skinner has said that he intended to draft Pete if he never laced on a skate again. At the time the younger Mahovlich had been sick. Maybe the Leafs figured nobody would take a chance. Anyway, as Skinner said, for two thousand bucks, we'd have been fools to pass him up." Pete got out of the Leaf clutches when they shifted their junior players to Neil McNeil high school and discontinued their St. Mikes' affiliation. He insisted on staying at St. Mikes. Detroit quickly picked him off and his career continued in Hamilton. LIFE BEGINS AT ? A popular adage is that life begins at 40, but what about a professional football career? Would you believe at 78? John B, Stirling, chancellor of Queen's Uni- versity has received a letter from Montreal Alouettes of the Eastern Football Conference expressing an in- terest in investing in his football abilities, He has been assured that he, too, can make the grade from collegiate to professional ranks. "Sev- eral Canadian college players make the jump to our pro clubs each year," says the letter from Al's coach Darrell Mudra. Mudra would like the chancellor to tell him his passing and kicking record, his speed on the field and the position he prefers to play. The Als are even willing to help him earn a little extra pocket money if he will tell them what line of work he would prefer after football hours. The chancellor said recently he is a little hesi- tant about replying. He hasn't been in top form this season. He has spent most 'of it on the bench — the One he'S been warming for more than 50 of his 78 years. And he's wondering whether Montreal's real interest might not be J. B. Sterling, a rugged young man that was a member of Frank Tindall's Golden Gaels football team of 1066.

The Terry Bourne coached youngsters lost to Wingham 4-3. The set was tied at a game apiece with one draw thrown in for good measure, The Wingham boys came out with a rush and scored twice in the first six minutes and were never headed. Allan Young and Allan Nixon were on the firing end of the successful shots for the visitors. Jim Hayter put the Exeter boys on the score board on a neat scoring effort as time was run- ning out in the first twenty min- utes of play. Terry Uniac and Ken McNaughton provided the assists. In the second frame, Wingham again struck before the locals knew what hit them. This time with only 33 seconds elapsed, Nixon popped in his second of the game with Young and Terry Newman contributing the pas- sing help. Midway in the same stanza, the Exeter crew shifted into high gear and found the range for two quick goals to put the clubs on even terms at 3-3. Hayter with his second marker of the night at 10,55 with Uniac Men's curling scores high Decisive wins were the rule rather than the exception in last week's regular action of the Ex- eter Men's curling club. In the 17 matches played, all but three were won by margins of more than six shots. Only one skip, Alvin Pym man- aged to retain top spot in his particular division. The P y m crew continue as best of the Monday night curlers with a total of 34 points. In Tuesday action, King Mc- Donald, previous leader, now shares first place with Peter Raymond. Each foursome has season total of 34 points. Almer Passmore's rink ran up a 13 total in Thursday play to lead their division with an ac- cumulation of 36 points. Last week's scores were as follows: B. Alexander 11 — B. Morgan 3 A. Pym 11 —D, Roelofson 3 G, Mickle 11 — P. Here 3 D. Jermyn 11 — R. Hodgert 3 G. McCarter 12 — L. Learn 3 J. Gaiser 12 — L.

Call Janet at 235-1331 In an attempt to break out of the congestion around third place the Hawks will be meeting the high flying Dresden Kings in their next two contests, The two teams meet in Dresden on Friday and will return to the local arena for a Tuesday contest. Three members of the Hawks are well up in the scoring race of the Shamrock loop. Mike Cush- man and Craig Chapman are tied for second spot with identical 13 point records. Cushman has eight goals and five assists while Chap- man has put together four goals and nine assists. Dennis Morrissey has notched five goals and an equal number of assists for a total of ten points good for sixth spot in the ratings. BREAK LOOSE A five goal spree in the third period proved the difference in the Hawks latest win, 8-3 over Petrolia, Friday. Mike Cushman wasted little time in blinking the light, ac- complishing the feat in the sec- ond minute of play to put his club in front quickly. A Lucan product, Paul Young, rapped in a pair of counters in less than a minute near the mid- way mark of the first to send the Hawks out and winging 3-0, Bill Chipchase picked up assists on both markers and Craig Chap- man also helped on the last one. Larry Zinc helped the Petrolia club into the scoring column with a goal on a solo effort before two minutes had elapsed in the second stanza with a member of the Hawks in the penalty box. The score remained at 3-1 for the Exeter boys throughout the remainder of the second. Petrolia came out flying in their last twenty minutes and within three minutes had scored twice to put the clubs on even terms at 3-3. The stalemate was short lived as Rick McDonald finished off a passing pattern with Scott Burton and Grant Walker only 27 seconds later to put the Hawks in front for the rest of the night. Gaining momentum after Mc- Donald's tally, the Earl Wagner coached aggregation fired four more shots into the Petrolia net without a reply. Cushman and McDonald each notched their second of the tilt, while Dennis Morrissey and Bob Moir added singles to complete the total. Ladies' curling D. Prout 7 — M. Ecker 4 H. Frayne 8 — D.

The early minutes of the third period again proved costly to the Exeter boys as Wingham counted what proved to be the winning goal after only a minute and fifteen seconds of play. The same trio was responsible for the game deciding shot. This time Terry Newman pulled the trigger with Allan Nixon and Allan Young being responsible for starting the play. The local midgets carried the play for the most of the final period but were unable to come up with the equalizer. The best they could do was rap three or four shots off the Wingham goal post. Wingham are now meeting Riv- erside in a total goals series for the right to advance to a Western Ontario Centennial tourney to be h el d at Walkerton during the Christmas holidays. Top exhibition on tap Friday Fans that regularly atte nd hockey games at the Exeter Arena Friday nights can continue this custom come Friday night despite the fact the junior Hawks will be out of town. An exhibition contest has been lined up featuring the Exeter midgets. The local youngsters with more than ten games under their belts already this season, will take on the London Midget All-Stars at 8:30. The Hawks of the Shamrock junior loop will be in Dresden Friday night for a scheduled con- test. The same Dresden club will provide the opposition here Tuesday for one of two Tuesday games scheduled this winter. Local minors gain but single point The only action of the week in the Shamrock minor leagues saw the Exeter clubs garner but a single point in three out- ings. In Wednesday play at the local arena, with Dorchester supply- ing the opposition, the local pee wees gained a 1-1 tie, while the bantams were downed 4-1. The Exeter squirts suffered their first loss of the season Saturday morning in Lucan as they were whitewashed 5-0 by the youngsters from the Irish town. In the pee wee stalemate, each team scored in the second peri- od. Peter Kleinstiver fired the Exeter counter at the five min- ute mark, converting a pass from Perry Stover. The Dorchester tally was notched by Mike Lane near the end of the middle stanza. FALTER AGAIN The Exeter bantams followed the same pattern in their latest loss in blowing an early lead. They scored once in the first period, gave up the tying mark- er to Dorchester in the centre session and folded badly in the dying moments of play. Defenceman John Braid scored the local marker singlehanded near the close of the initial period. With a minute and three sec- onds left in the third period and the score tied at a goal apiece, Dorchester broke the contest wide open with three quick goals.
