With about a minute and a half to go and the puck again in the point Edward zone, it came back to the blue line and Pete Lawson let go a sliding screen shot that went through a maze of players and caught the far corner of the net. This goal brought the score to $-'7 and the fans to the edges of their seats. Spurred on by the last score, the Hawks milled all around the visitors' net and gained a face- off with only seven seconds left. The countdown began and just as it reached one, Gary parsons parked on the left corner of the net managed to flip the puck home to bring down the house. In overtime, the locals again assumed their usual position as the Points moved ahead 9-8 after only 38 seconds of play. The ninth Hawk counter came at just past the six minute mark and was nabbed by Dennis Mor- rissey as a point Edward per- former was returning from the penalty box but had not reached the play. It actually took 69 minutes of play to get the Hawks in front in the game. At 9.13, to be exact, Morrissey let a drive go from about twenty feet out that caught the corner with Bill Chipchase standing on the edge of the goal crease.

STIRE TOPS Larry Stire, with a four goal performance, led the Bank Boys in their third win in four starts, a 10-7 edging of the G & G aggregation. The two clubs stayed on pretty well even terms for the first two periods, They each scored twice in the first 20 minutes and the Bank Boys were in front 7-6 after the second session. Stire and George Trion hit the mark for the Bankers early while Jim McDonald and Frank Clark replied for the Graham's. In the heavy scoring in the second, Larry Stire added three to complete his night's total and Pete McFalls popped in two for the Bankers contribution. Walt Tiedeman chalked up a pair and Gord Box and McDonald added singles for the losing club. Dale Turvey, Jim Russell and George Trion completed the "monied men's" scoring in the third and Jim McDonald added the final scoring touch for G& G.

The Old Timers hit for three -- Please turn to page 9 The Exeter Hawks have put together three consecutive wins, all against "C" clubs, to move within four points of the league leading Dresden Kings in Sham- rock junior play, Their latest win, on home ice against Point Edward, Friday, was accompanied in spectacular fashion that sent the 311 paid customers home talking to them- selves and limp from the excite- ment, The 'Hawks overcame a first Period 6-0 deficit to tie the game at 8-8 with only one second left in regulation time and went on to win 11-10 in the extra ten min- utes of play. A busy schedule is in store for the Hawks this week as they see action three times and have a chance to close the four point gap behind front running Dresden. They were in Blenheim last night, Wednesday, are at home to Belmont on Friday and travel to Petrolia for a Sunday afternoon contest. Friday's home game will be preceded by a squirt exhibition game between the London All Stars and the local youngsters. EARLY DEFICIT A tremendous one man per- formance by Len Fontaine shot Point Edward into a 6-0 lead after the first period of play. Fontaine scored five goals and assisted on the other to move his club into what looked like an in- surmountable lead. The play of the Hawks, which was inept in the first period, improved a bit in the second 20 minutes and they were able to hold the Point Edward scor- ing machine to a single goal while scoring twice themselves. Bill Chipchase opened the local scoring at the eight minute mark as he finished off a play started by Paul Young and Dennis Mor- rissey. Six minutes later, the red light behind the visiting cage lit up for the second time when Gary Parsons moved in alone to score on a neat effort. Mike Bolton upped the Point Edward lead to 7-2 less than a minute later when the clubs were playing five aside. Although they carried most of the play in the first half of the last period the Hawks were un- able to score and it looked as if they were heading for their sixth loss of the season. With the clock heading past the 11 minute mark, they caught fire and scored four quick count- ers in less than five minutes to pull within one of tying the count. Paul Young started the rally with his first of two, heading in a pass from hard working Rick McDonald, The second Hawk goal came on a blistering slap shot from the left point fired by Gary Parsons after taking a pass from Dennis Morrissey behind the net. Young potted another at 15 minutes, this time the assists going to Pete Lawson and Mor- rissey to keep the Exeter hopes alive. The cheers had hardly sub- sided when Bolton scored his second of the night for the vis- itors to put the Hawks down by three goals. This momentary disappoint- ment failed to slow down the Hawks and they came roaring right back and Parsons slapped For the second straight week three teams share first place in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league. Identical four-point wins were chalked up by the Dart Sharks, Hairpins and Itchy Four to main- tain their same positions at the top, with 37 points apiece. The Cleaners, with a similar four to one victory, kept their hold on fourth spot with a season total of 29. The Bluebirds flew a bit higher in the standings with a clean sweep of five points to move into a tie with the Featherflights with equal totals of 27. John Link and Marl Edwards continue to show the way in the individual games department with respective scores of 19 and 13. Friday's scores were: Bluebirds 5 — Featherflights 0 Dart Sharks 4 — Four B's 1 Itchy Four 4 — Canners 1 Cleaners 4 Generals 1 Hairpins 4 —Sharpshooters 1 Legionnaires 4 — Shiphunters 1 Officials of the Exeter Hawks of the Sham- rock junior loop were informed this week that they have been elevated to "C" category for the 1966-67 season. The return of Gary Parsons to his home town after several years of junior "B" action for the Goderich Siftos is the reason for the moving up of the Hawks. Although Gary was born in Exeter and now resides and goes to school here, he is still classed as an import for one year. If he decided to return to the lakeport town he would have to play there as a waiver player. Parsons has been out with an ankle injury suffered in pre-season training and only saw his first action for the Hawks last Tuesday. This coin- cided with the communique the same day from the OHA giving him clearance to play for his home town team and their rise to a higher category. Under OHA rules a "C" club may carry four import or waiver players on their roster. The Hawks now have three. Now classed as waivers for this term are Mike Cushman and Craig Chapman return- ing after seeing action in Sarnia and Strathroy re- spectively. The Shamrock league now consists of four "C" clubs and an equal number of "D" participants. With the elevation of the Hawks, local fans are assured of better playoff possibilities. Dresden, the current league leaders, Point Edward and Port Huron are in the higher bracket with the Exeter boys. The Hawks have shown over the past week that they should be able to hold their own against the "C" teams. In their last three starts they have hung up impressive wins over Dresden and Point Ed- ward to move into undisputed possession of second place in the eight-team grouping. If Friday's come-from-behind win over Point Edward is any indication of the brand of hockey to come, the local ice house should be well filled for the rest of the schedule. Trailing 6-0 at the end of the first period and 7-2 as late as the half-way mark of the final ses- session, the Hawks came on to tie the score with only one second to go and went on to win in overtime. The significant part of the sensational win Fri- day was that it was accomplished without four regu- lars. Mike Cushman and Larry Willert were unable to dress because of injuries and Craig Chapman and Bill Bourne left early in the game. Willert suffered an eye injury in Tuesday's game and although he lost partial sight for a short time is now recovering nice- ly and is expected to see action this week. The remaining pucksters put on a terrific show never giving up at any time. In several of their games this year the Hawks have started slowly and have been forced to work back from early deficits. Friday's game was a prime example of this. One of the reasons for their inept play early has to be their failure to get very little, if any pre- game practice. In the latest outing a few of the play- ers barely hit the ice when the puck was dropped to start the game. As one spectator said at Friday's game, "you need preliminary workouts in any sport, even in tennis or ping pong and hockey is no exception." We hope that in future games, the manage- ment will insist the players are in the dressing room in plenty of time and when dressed get out for at least some loosening up before action gets under- way. As the season progresses and playoffs ap- proach, the club will need 60 minutes of good hockey and can't afford any early lapses as has been the case to date. AREA BOYS ARE LUCKY Received a letter last week from Lyall Riddell, now stationed at Victoria, British Columbia. Lyall, a resident of the community for 12 years while attached to RCAF Centralia, was an ar- dent bowler with the Billiards of the local men's bowling league and associated with the Exeter pee wees and bantam hockey clubs in a managerial ca- pacity. The main object of the missile from the west was to pass along word to the boys playing hockey in Exeter "that they are fortunate to be living in a place like Exeter, compared to a city such as Vic- toria." He goes on as follows: "My two boys, Chris and Steven, played all-star hockey in Exeter and had plenty of practice time, Out here, ice time is so lim- ited that the only time the boys can play or prac- tice is from five to seven o'clock in the morning, What an hour to play hockey! They have been hav- ing regular Wednesday practices at six o'clock and then it's a mad rush to get them home seven miles and ready for school." Incidentally, in a recent 5 a.m. all-star exhibi- tion game, Chris Riddell scored three goals and brother Steven potted one to lead their team to a 5-4 win. In referring to his long stay at Centralia, Riddell has this to say. "Dear old Centralia, how we all miss it out here and it seems we are continuously reminiscing about old times. We may have com- plained occasionally when we were there, but believe me, we never knew when we were well off." In closing, Lyall wishes to be remembered to all his friends at the bowling alley and arena and again let the young hockey players know how lucky they are to have such an outstanding minor program and excellent guidance.

MILT S CYCLE S E EXETNER MORE COLOUR Folks who are fortunate enough to have col- oured television sets may before long see more col- ouring added to the hockey telecasts, An experiment tried by Eddie Bush of the 1-larnilton Red Wing junior club seems to be successful and could soon be copied by the pro clubs. Bush, a long time NilL'er and now coaching the Wings, decided to use coloured sticks in a recent game with the Toronto Marlboros at the Hamilton Forum. The Hamilton boys used red sticks while the Marlboros carried blue pieces of lumber which matched the basic colours of their uniforms. 4 I I>
