The locals knocked off the league reading Dresden Kings at the Exeter arena 10-4 Tues- day for their second straight vic- tory. They edged the same Dresden club in the Kent county town Friday by a 3-2 count. In the other game of the week, Point Edward outlasted the Hawks 14- 12 in an overtime contest, last Wednesday.

Mike Cushman and. Dennis Morrissey led the Exeter goal producing crew, each gaining a hat trick for his night's work. Next in the goal scoring par- ade came Paul Young and Larry Willert with two goals each to their credit. Craig Chapman and Bill Chipchase added single markers to bring the Exeter total to an even dozen.

The top Dresden marksman was defenceman Tim Tait who scored six times and assisted on three goals scored by his team- mates. Bank Boys top ladder In Rec puck standing When someone wins, somebody else has to lose. This was not the case at the Exeter arena, Thursday, as both Rec league hockey games ended in ties. Crediton and the Bank boys battled to a 5-5 draw in the open- er, while The Old Timers and Graham and Graham played to an identical stalemate in the second half of the twin bill, After three weeks of competi- tion, the Bank Boys lead the four- team loop with two wins and a tie for five points. Crediton trail closely in second spot with a record of one win and a pair of ties in three starts good for four points. Settled in third spot with the two points on the strength of a pair of draws are the Old Tim- ers with Graham and Graham resting in the cellar with a single point. SCORE EARLY In the opening stalemate of the evening, each team scored twice in the first period. Gary Overholt fired a pair for Cred- iton, while Lloyd Moore and Bill Heywood replied for the Bank- ers. The "monied men" moved into a two-goal lead after two peri- ods of play as Paul Mason hit the mark twice and Larry Stire fired a singleton. The loneCred- iton counter came from the stick of Stan Lovie. In the final frame, Fred Lamb bulged the twine on two occa- sions, the last coming with less of the leading Dresdenitee, point Edward Redmen will be at the local arena, Friday at 8.30 to do battle with the Hawks. AT FULL STRENGTH In Tuesday's win over Dres- den, the Hawks were back at full strength for the first time this season. Gary parsons, out with an ankle injury suffered in pre season workouts, suited up for the first time Tuesday and was joined by Craig Davidson and Bill Bourne. The Dresden pucksters started off the game as if they were trying to make up for Fridays loss by scoring three times in the first period before the Hawks untracked. John Spence, Roy Boyes and Fred Marlin accounted for the early counting by the visitors. With only 25 seconds remaining in the first frame, Bill Chipchase got the Hawks off and winging, tip- ping in a pass from Bill Bourne. The Earl Wagner coached local juniors came out flying in the second period and had taken a 7-3 lead by the 11 minute mark. C r a ig Chapman and Dennis Morrissey beat Ross Card in the Dreeden nets before five minutes had elapsed to put the clubs on even terms for a moment. Chipchase and Chapman with their second counters of the night upped the count 5-3 and Peter Lawson and Gary Parsons added singles to complete the second session tallying. Near the eight minute mark of the final frame, Dresden picked up their final score, coming from the stick of Don Glassford. Mike Cushman notched a neat unassisted goal at the nine min- ute mark and Parsons and Mor- rissey collected t heir second markers of the game to bring the Exeter total to ten, BEST YET The Hawks' win in Dresden Fri- day was achieved in the best played game of the Shamrock jun- ior loop to date. The locals spot- ted the hometown Kings a goal late in the first period and then scored three consecutive mark- ers to hang up the victory des- pite a late rally by Dresden that netted a single goal. Roy Boyes scored both goals for the Kings, getting his first at 19.35 of the opening frame and other at the 13 minute mark of the closing stanza. The Exeter boys got on the score sheet with two goals in a space of 15 seconds late in the middle period. Captain Craig Chapman potted the first one on a play with defenceman Larry Willert. Coach Earl Wagner made a quick line change and Dennis Morrissey promptly relayed a pass from Bill Chipchase into the Dres- den cage. Morrissey scored what proved to be the clincher at 7,15 of the third with Chipchase and Pete Lawson providing the set-up help. than a minute left in the game to give the Crediton boys the draw. LATE RALLY In the second half of the week- ly twin bill, the Old Timers came through with a goal in the dying seconds of the game to climb on even terms with Graham and Graham. Bob Baynham scored as the clock was ticking away the final 20 seconds to give the clubs one point each to add to their season total, Single goals by Jim McDon- ald and Dave Collins of the & G six in the first period off- set similar markers by Bill Gil- fillan and Fred Wells of the Old Timers. In the second stanza, Wells and McDonald tallied again to keep the score even at 3-3. Early in the third, Doug Mc- Bride potted a goal in single fashion and McDonald fired his third of the night to put the Graham outfit in front 5-3. Not to he outdone, Wells roared back with a score to complete his hat trick and set the stage for Baynham's tying marker. Male curlers bunched up GOALS APLENTY The 14-12 Hawk loss in Alvins- ton came in a game that was full of thrills from start to finish. After three periods of play the Top spots in two of the three divisions of the Exeter Men's curling club are shared by two rinks after last week's action, Co-leaders in Tuesday action a week ago, King McDonald and Peter Raymond, are still dead- locked as each led his rink to a 12 point win to boost their season total to 46. The rink headed by Ross Mar- shall came up with a big 14- point night that enabled them to climb back into a tie with Almer Passmore in Thursday competi- tion. Despite a loss, Alvin Pym managed to keep his foursome ahead in the Monday night battle with a total of 39. Last week's scores were as follows: D. B. B. D. J. L. C. H. K. B. H. P. E. E. A. R. S.

Helen Frayne's rink is atop the standing in Tuesday afternoon play with a total of 33, three points better than Dot Elder's foursome. A rink headed by Edna Busche is best in the Wednesday night action to date having accumulated a 46 point total and a comfort- able margin over their nearest opposition. Mary Fran Gaiser has her Thursday afternoon crew in high gear as they lead their section with an undefeated record in four starts. Last week's results are as follows: J. McDowell '7— H. Frayne 5 M.

Bell 5 Final plans haven't been worked out yet, but each of the six new clubs in the National hockey league next season will probably play four games against each of the existing teams. Don Ruck of New York, the NHL'S new pub- licist, adds that the schedule may be increased to 74 games in 1967-68 from the present 70. That's when six new centres, Philadephia, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis-St. Paul, San Francisco- Oakland and Los Angeles join Montreal, Toronto, De- troit, Boston, New York and Chicago to form a 12- team circuit. The league will be divided into two divisions with the present clubs making up one section and the new entries the other. There will be interlocking games between the two divisions. The present schedule has each club playing the other five 14 times, seven at home and seven away. Tentative expansion plans call for each team to play the other five entries in its own division 10 times—five at home and five away and teams from the other section on a two at home and two away basis. The number of interlocking games could be increased as the new division strengthens. Playoff arrangements will be changed, of course, and a quar- ter-final series may be added to the existing semi- final and final rounds. One suggestion calls for the top four finishers in one division to meet the top four in the other in the first round. Not all rinks in the new centres will be ready for the opening of the 1967-68 season but this was not a requirement for entry. The NHL will be satis- fied if the new teams have adequate rinks before the season is over. St. Louis and Pittsburgh, for example, already have large enough arenas. Philadelphia's is under construction and, barring some unforeseen delays, will be ready for the opener. Minneapolis-St. Paul is due to open its new arena midway through the schedule and the team, meanwhile, will play in a rink seating about 9,000. Ruck said this would be the smallest of the tempo- rary arenas. If buildings on the west coast aren't ready for opening games Los Angeles will use the spacious new auditorium at nearby Long Beach, while San Francisco-Oakland will play in the Cow Palace until the new arena is ready in Oakland. Pittsburgh has a new rink but is the only new entry without a name. Penguins has been suggested because the new arena has a dome and resembles an igloo in outline. But some officials, including coach Red Sullivan, would prefer a name such as Hornets, used for many years by the Pittsburgh en- try in the American Hockey league. Other team names are Los Angeles Kings, California Seals in San Francisco-Oakland, Minnesota North Stars in Minneapolis-St. Paul, St. Louis Blues and Philadephia Flyers, This will not be the first try in hockey's top league for three of the new American clubs. Pitts- burgh, St. Louis and Philadelphia have been repre- sented before but only for short periods. Pittsburgh Pirates played from 1925 to 1930, but moved the next year to Philadelphia where the Quakers lasted only one season. Ottawa Senators' franchise shifted to St. Louis in 1934 where, as the Eagles, they managed to survive only one term. Rumour has it that former Canadian, Jack Kent Cooke is trying to lure Clarence "Hap" Day to the West Coast to handle his hockey operation in Los Angeles. Day, formerly in the Toronto Leaf or- ganization in several capacities from player up to the managing department, currently has business inter- ests in St. Thomas. Cooke, who is already in professional sports ranks with football and basketball interests, has run into a legal snag as far as hockey goes in Los An- geles. Jim Pigott and Dan Reeves, owners of the pres- ent Los Angeles club in the Western pro league, are taking court action in an attempt to bar Cooke from exercising his new NHL franchise. MORE ON ANDY Last week we reported on Andy Hebenton setting a record of playing 1,000 consecutive games in pro hockey. He was honored in Victoria last Wednesday during his 1,008th regular scheduled game without a miss. Included in his skein are 652 straight games in the NHL, also a record. The original iron man in the national loop was Murray Murdoch of the New York Rangers who chalked up 508 games from 1926 to 1937. Later on, Johnny Wilson had a streak of 580 games, mostly with Detroit before his banishment to the minors. One of the most amazing facts of Hebenton's career is his ability to stay away from the penalty box. In 15 seasons he has been sentenced to the sin bin for a grand total of 44 minutes. This amounts to a two-minute penalty once in every 46 games. One mark that Andy wasn't able to reach dur- ing his term in the NHL was the scoring of 200 goals. In the 652 games he was able to blink the red light 189 times. With expansion coming up next year, he may get another chance to reach the coveted mark. ARGOS LOSE AGAIN For several seasons Toronto Argonauts have been big losers on the football field and now they stand to lose heavily at the gate if the Canadian foot- ball league becomes one circuit with the merger of the eastern and western conferences. Lew Hayman, president of the Argos, said last week his club stands to contribute more in gate equalization than other teams in the East if a single league is formed. Despite the fact that they have made the eastern playoffs only twice since 1959, the Toronto gridders have attracted an average of nearly 25,000 fans a game. Capacity of their home stadium on the ONE grounds is 33,135, There are probably several reasons that con- tribute to the large Argo followings despite their lowly stature in the league standings. First of all they have a large populus to draw from and have a large percentage of their attendance made up of season ticket holders. Each season they seem to fin- ish with a flourish, winning their last two or three contests causing their supporters to say "wait till next year." Perhaps it's the influence of the new math.
