The jolly round man in the bright red suit will be making his annual trek Saturday night, so here we go, for better or for "verse". Dear Santa: This year when you start heading our way We hope there'll be room in your sleigh, For gifts and goodies of all sort For our friendly enthusiasts of all sport. All year they have struggled to get to the top, To bring home the trophies and not be a flop. For all of those bowlers who like to get strikes, Take out that pin which stands when it likes. Bring them some alleys, so smooth in the floors, There won't be a thing to keep down their scores. Our ball teams also have put in their bid With calls of "come on" and "atta boy, kid" For bats that hit homers right out of the park And lights which shine long after it's dark. A box of good bunts would sure come in handy And some no-miss gloves would really be dandy And best of all, Santa, if only you could, Bring some glasses for umpires so they'd see what they should. Hockey's a game, in which you score goals, But you've little success when your net's full of holes. Some sticks with a hook that would baffle our foes, And a score that's on top when the last whistle blows. Gloves are for some, to keep their hands warm, But the boxing kind, would keep others from harm. Although they're quiet and still as a mouse, The curlers are asking for rocks in the house. And though they're concerned with what's on the rocks, They'll take a few stones at different o'clocks. Each skip wants a rink that really will bend To put down those granites and win in the end. How you can do it, we really don't know, But for all those sports, who golfing would go, Bring them some rain, which falls in the night And days that are long and sunny and bright. Keep all your sand traps, your bunkers and creeks They'll take all your eagles, although they be freaks. An adding machine, to add up your score And when it's not right, won't add any more. Each fisherman wants you, to put in his sock, A pool where the trout reside in a flock. For the pacers and trotters, a two minute mile To bring to their owners, a satisfied smile. For all the lawn bowlers, each lad and each lass, That pretty white kitty, which sits in the grass. Now it's a' la main left and a' la main thar Their feet will fly faster, on floors up to par. Let's have some passes, they're sure to complete And on every player, some fast moving feet. For a few extra points, some sparkling field goals, And then add some more, with those kicks 'tween the poles. Dear Santa, we're sure, that for all of the rest You'll reach in your pack and bring out the best. And the fans, dear friend, I'm sure that you'd please, By dropping some tickets, for feats such as these. These items we've mentioned are a part of the game. But to a true sportsman are not the sole aim. So give us the courage to do what is right To get in and prtiii and fight the good fight And when it's all over, though we may not win fame We can sigh with contentment 'cause we've sure played the game. After that. al we :rar. say is -To all our readers. a very MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR, too.- STAN FRAYNE General Store and Staff 143 Main North Exeter 235-0410 Nvs 5V.S The boys' basketball clubs at South Huron have been seeing action in exhibition games in pre- paration for their Huron-Perth Conference schedule starting in January. The juniors have come on strong. winning their last two pre-season tests by wide margins after dropping the open e r in Parkhill 15-11. Gaining momen- tum they trounced Forest 51-27 and evened the record with Park- hill with a resounding 60-18 win over the North Middlesex boys from Parkhill, in their home court, Monday. The senior Panthers are off to a very slow start, dropping all three of their practice games to date. They have been beaten quite liandily by the North Middlesex boys from Parkhill by scores of 66-39 and 62-36, while being edg- ed 35-31 by the senior five from Forest district high school. DROP FIRST Points were s carce in the junior opener as the locals lost in Parkhill 15-11. Barry Bayn- ham was the top Panther point getter with three field goals to his credit. ROSS Huff hooped one basket and Mark Youngash chip- ped in with a successful free throw. A strong offensive perform- ance in the second half, that pro- dueed 32 points as compared to 12 by the opposition, gave the juniors the necessary margin in their 51-27 win over Forest, also played on the local school courts. Ross Huff netted six baskets in the last quarter to give him a complete point total of 20. Barry Baynham was close behind in the point parade, checking in with 16. Chuck Snider added seven points, while Len McNeely and John Loader notched four points a- piece. The junior Panthers wasted little time in making up for their previous loss to Parkhill, by jumping into a 27-10 lead at the end of the first half in Monday's game. Again, Barry Baynham and Ross Huff led the scoring attack notching 20 and 19 points, re- spectively. Chuck Snider was next in line with an 11-point perform- ance. John Loader gained five points and Len McNeely and Peter Kok checked in with three each. FINE START In their last outing, the senior Panthers stayed in contention for the first three periods, being behind only 36-32 at that time. The Parkhill boys broke the game wide open in the final quarter with a 26 point barrage. The Panther scoring was well spread around, with ten members of the club hitting the score sheet. Scott Burton tossed four field goals, all in the second quarter to lead the club with eight points. Bill Farquhar potted two baskets and a free throw good for five The Exeter Hawks have ex- tended their current win streak to six games as they continue to chase the Dresden Kings for first place in the Shamrock junior league. The Hawks won three times, all in convincing fashion over the past week to bring their season point total to 16, two back of the front running Dresden Six, They downed Blenheim 9-2 in the Kent County town, Wednes- day, outscored Belmont 11-7 at home Friday and swamped Pet- rolia 13-1 away from home Sun- day. The local junior hockey ag- gregation will have a fairly slack schedule over the holiday season. They will be at home to Blen- heim, Friday and then are out of action until Dec. 29 when they travel to Port Huron and then host Petrolia the following even- ing. Gary Parsons with only two games under his belt due to an injury was the Hawks' goal getter in the three contests, notching seven. This gives him a point total of 23, achieved in only five games. SCORE OFTEN Six goals in the first period put the Hawks well on the way to Curlers ready for play-offs Regular play in the first draws of the ladies' and men's curling clubs has been completed and playoffs to determine a grand champion for each will be held sometime during the holidays.

The winner will meet the Edna Busche led rink in the final round, The Busche rink, which went through the schedule undefeated, includes Ann Cronyn, Lee Dobbs and Betty Northcott. Helen Frayne will lead her mates including Lois Learn, Val Gould and Florence Genttner a- gainst Helen Burton and her squad composed of Shirley Davidson, Ruth Skinner and Alma Godbolt in the upcoming playoff. MEN READY TOO Semi-final action in the men's division will bring rinks headed by Jack Gaiser and Ross Mar- shall against each other. The victors will carry on to meet a King McDonald headed crew for the first draw championship. The McDonald foursome in- cluding Ray Murley, John Cor- bett and Norval Jones received a bye into the final as the result of having a higher aggregate score as the winner in Tuesday night competition. Gaiser's rink includes Gerry Finnen, Ross Krueger and Ross Coates while Jack Urquhart, Jack Prout and Arnold Mathers com- plete the Marshall rink. Last week's men's scores are as follows: J.

The first senior game of the season, a 66-39 loss to Park- hill, also provided an even spread in scoring for the locals.

Gary Parsons and Bill Bourne fired a pair each to build up the early lead. In the second session Parsons bounced back with his third goal of the afternoon and singles were realized from the sticks of Larry W i 11 er t, Craig Davidson, Bill Chipchase and Pete Lawson, Doug Garrett potted the lone Petrolia counter late in the second frame and robbed Tom Glavin in the Ex- eter nets of a shut-out. The third period action slowed down considerably and the Hawks were able to score only twice to run up their game total to 13. Chipchase notched his second of the fray and Dennis Morrissey added one marker in single fash- ion. START FAST In sharp contrast to their pre- vious home game, the Hawks started like a house-on-fire and scored six times in the first period of Friday's 11-7 win over Belmont. The Cushman-Parsons-Chap- man front line accounted for four of the first frame goals. Gary Parsons hit the mark twice and his line-mates, Craig Chapman and Mike Cushman, notched sing- les. Len Farquhar led the early Belmont attack, scoring twice with singles going to Norm Abbey and Cliff Gauthier. In the second period Belmont counted a goal in the first min- ute of play and then the Exeter boys took command again to score five times and open up a com- manding lead of 11-5 as the teams headed for the second rest session. Cushman headed up the Hawks' rally, scoring twice with single markers being credited to Peter Lawson, Ron Broderick and Chapman. Howard Churchill and Paul Valiquette slapped in the final Petrolia counters in the final twenty minutes of play, LATE SPLURGE Six unanswered goals in the final period gave the Hawks a good margin in their 9-2 win in Blen- heim, Wednesday. The teams had played on pretty well even terms for the first two frames, with the Hawks hold- ing a slight 3-2 edge, Dennis Morrissey of Exeter and Boby Gryp of the home team traded first period counters, In the second, Bill Bourne and Craig Chapman were the successful Hawks' marksmen while Gryp tallied again for the home team. It took only 31 seconds of play of the final period for Gary Pars- ons to score twice and move the Hawks out in front 5-2. In a steady continuing attack throughout the remainder of the stanza, Peter Lawson, Larry Willert, Mike Cushman and C r a i g Chapman beat Ed. Smitchen in the Blen- heim cage to complete the Hawks total.
