Page 6 Times-Advocate, January 5, 1967 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Some old some new fired what proved to be the win- ner early in the final frame, Ham- ilton came back with their second goal in the dying seconds of play but couldn't produce the equaliz- er. In the first game of the tourna- ment the Exeter boys scored once in each of the first and second periods and closed with a four goal onslaught in the last twenty minutes to gain the 6-1 win over Woodstock. Barry Baynham was the lead- ing goal getter, notching the early marker and repeating his feat in the third. Other scores were fired in single fashion by John Loader, Larry Laye, Graham Hern and Randy Parsons. The locals relaxed a bit after gaining a six goal lead and allow- Two of Exeter's minor hockey clubs made tremendous showings in holiday tournaments held at London last week. The local midgets handled by Terry Bourne and Gord Baynham won the London Centennial "A" tourney with three successive Victories over top notch com- petition. They outscored Woodstock 6-1 in the opener, edged Hamilton 3-2 In the semi-final round and blanked Oakridge Acres 2-0 to bring home the silverware, Sun- day. Earlier in the week, the Ex- eter bantams reached the final round in the Ice Bowl tourney at the Gardens in London. Although beaten 7-2 by St. Marys they brought home a fine trophy. The 14 and under youngsters coached by Lorne Haugh were judged as showing the best sportsmanship of the entire tour- ney that totalled 24 teams. Their behaviour on and off the ice was considered in determining a win- ner. Before bowing in the finals, the locals downed Strathroy 5-1 and Delhi 4-1 in preliminary play. SH cage squads ready for action The high school basketball sea- son opens officially Tuesday with all four clubs from South Huron seeing action in the Huron-Perth conference. Local fans with a couple of hours to spare in the late after- noon and early evening of Friday can enjoy top notch cage action at the South Huron gym, Teams from St. Marys Collegiate will be in for a set of four games with the junior girls starting at 4 o'clock. The games will follow each other fairly closely with the ju- nior boys playing in the second contest followed by the senior girls and senior boys. Bruce Shaw is mastermind- ing the senior Panthers while Alf Williams will be coaching the 1967 edition of the junior club. In the girl's division, Maureen Yearsley and Val Kurelek are handling the respective coach- ing chores of the juniors and seniors. Following is the boys regular schedule, released this week: JANUARY 10 — Clinton at South Huron 12 — South Huron at Seaforth FEBRUARY 1 — South Huron at Wingham 3 — Mitchell at South Huron 10 — South Huron at Stratford Central 17 — St. Marys at South Huron The girls schedule puts the local clubs into action on the same date and against the same clubs as the boys, but in a re- verse order. When the boys are performing at home, the girls will be playing their away games and vice versa. REACHING PEAK The bantam boys, after a very slow start in early sea.sonSham- rock play, hit their stride in the London series, They won their first two contests quite handily and held a strong St. Marys out- fit on even terms for more than half of the final game. Larry Haugh scored the only goal of the first period to put his Exeter club in front. The St. Marys club fought back and scor- ed twice to go in front for a few moments until Haugh notched his Second to put the clubs on even terms at 2-2 before the Stonetown boys went ahead to stay. In the semi-final win 4-1 over Delhi, the locals went- out in front in the first three minutes of play on a goal by John Guenth- er and were never headed. Haugh scored on a pass from Guenther later in the period to offset the only Delhi marker. Randy Preszcator upped the score to 3-1 in the middle frame as his high looping shot from outside the blue line dropped in over the goalie's shoulder. Steve Murley added goal number four in the last period. Diminutive Peter Glover pro- vided the early scoring punch in the opening win over Strath- roy, counting twice in the first six minutes of action. Jim Guenther and Larry Haugh were the Exeter marksmen in the second session and captain John Braid completed the count- ing with a single tally in the final twenty minutes of play. One of the main reasons for the excellent showing by the Ex- eter bantams was the stellar job of shot blocking turned in by cage custodian Mike McLaughlin Minor clubs capture trophies Santa Claus arrived a little bit late but his gifts were well received by the Exeter Minor Hockey Associa- tion. Two of their clubs brought home trophies from recent tourneys in London. In the above picture, assistant captains Barry Baynham and John Loader of the midgets hold the Centennial "A" trophy, while manager Gord Baynham looks on.

First of all, we would like to wish all our readers a very happy and prosperous New Year and may all of us do our bit in making our country's birthday celebrations the talk of the whole world. Ahead lies the bright challenge of Centennial 1967, a year when this country will command world- wide sporting attention. When it comes to surprises, unexpected hap- penings or complete flops on the professional sports front, the 1966 World Series takes all the attention. The unexpected, of course, was the complete dominance of baseball's fall classic by the Baltimore Orioles, in all departments. For disappointments or a just plain flop, the Los Angeles Dodgers fit the pattern perfectly. While their supposedly strong pitching failed to hold the Oriole bats, the Dodgers probably lost more face, being unable to score a single run in the last 33 innings of the series. Professionally, the biggest surprise has to be the fine showing to date of the New York Rangers in the National hockey league. Although the season is far from finished, the Broadway Blueshirts have given notice they won't be far away when Clarence Campbell hands out the silverware in April. The biggest mystery in sports wasn't solved in 1966 and it doesn't look like it will be cleared up for a while yet. Expansion to 12 teams has been ap- proved by the governors of the NHL but the method of stocking the six new clubs with players has yet to be announced. Pre-season training camps for the 1967-68 sea- son will open in about eight months time. The six new American teams will be paying $2,000,000 for their franchise and a roster of 20 players from which to start operations. This means that each of the existing teams will give up the same number of men from their present playing personnel and their farm systems. AREA TEAMSTER IS TOPS Closer to home, Ron Feagan the enthusiastic young horseman from Goderich, continues to set records in the harness racing field. Feagan, a veteran of the racing game, al- though only 25 years of age, set a driving record for the second straight year. In 1965 he reined 213 win- ners over the finish line and in the season that just ended Saturday at Western Raceway in London, he upped the record total to 219. The chances of the Goderich youngster in- creasing his winning rides in 1967 appear very bright as the racing year started Monday at Greenwood in Toronto. He has 25 horses stabled at London at the moment and about the same in Toronto. With racing extended to cover almost every day of the year, Feagan needs less than one winner on each card to break records, and that is less than par for him. On the national amateur sports front our country's showing at the British Empire games was the biggest news of the year. Led by female athlete-of-the-year Elaine Tan- ner, our swim team dominated the headlines. Can- ada's best showing ever, brought home 57 medals, including 14 golds for first place finishes. Miss Tanner, only 15, led the Canadian con- tingent with a total of seven medals. Our girls' 440 free style team of which Louise Kennedy of London was a member set a new world's record. GOOD TEAM PLAY A solid combined effort from every member of the club en- abled the midgets to outscore teams from municipalities of much greater population. Goal tender Glen Stire was a key figure in the entire series, coming up with the big stops to keep his mates in the game. In the final 2-0 win over Oak- ridge, Mike Hoy secured the victory with a pair of goals midway through the third period. Overcoming an early first per- iod Hamilton counter, the locals scored once in each period and held on to win the semi-final tilt 3-2. Graham Hern, the only addition to the Exeter club that competes in regular Shamrock action, hit the mark late in the opening ses- sion to tie the score. Hern, a former pee wee and bantam star here is now a member of the Milton All-Star midgets. The second Exeter score came from the stick of Jim Hayter late in the second and Larry Laye Sweepers in second round Although the second draws in both the men's and ladies' divis- ions of the Exeter curling have started this week, winners of the first draws of the year have still to be decided. Due to the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, onlyfinal- ists have been obtained in the opening draws. Helen Burton skipped her rink to a 6-4 win over Helen Frayne's foursome, Tuesday afternoon to gain the final round of the ladies action. The Burton rink now meets the Edna Busche skipped four for the first draw title. In men's play, the same situa- tion exists. Rinks headed by King McDonald and Jack Gaiser are meeting later this week to declare the first winner of the current curling season. Shamrock Jr. Hockey - 8:30 p.m. — Arena FRI., JAN. 6 Exeter HAWKS vs Port Huron TUE., JAN. 10 Exeter HAWKS vs Alvinston Old Timers make their move catch Bank Boys for second ham, hat tricks again were prom- inent. Pete ,McFalls turned in his second straight triple, and along with a similar performance from Jim Russell, 1 ed the Bankers. Tom Newer turned the three goal trick for the G & G six with single goals being fired by Jim McDonald, Walt Tiedeman and Mike Smith. Other Bank Boy counters were earned by Larry Stire, Bill Hey- wood, Paul Mason and Lloyd Moore. Two-goal performances from a trio of Crediton pucksters aided the league leaders in main- taining their narrow margin at the top of the heap. Jim Morrissey, Fred Lamb and Gary Overholt were the dual scorers with Jim Pfaff adding the seventh marker. Gord Box, Jack Stephen and Cy Blommaert scored in single fashion for the Graham and Graham outfit. Timers led the scoring attack in the 9-5 win over the league leading Crediton six. Steve Kyle, a former star with the Hensall-Zurich Combines and now teaching school at Langton, showed some of his old time form, scoring six times. Ron Horn, Dick Bennett and Bruce Horton added singles to complete the Old Timer count- ing. Bob Galloway hit the scoring range twice to lead the Crediton scorers, while Fred Lamb, Pat McKeever and Gary Overholt chipped in with single goals. No less than four hat tricks were achieved in the 10-6 Old Timers win over the Bank Boys. Ron Bogart and Terry Bourne were the successful three goal snipers for the winners, while Pete McFalls and Larry Stire accounted for all of the Banker tallies with similar triple goal performances. Earl Wagner notched two and Dick Bennett and Gar Johnston picked up singletons to finish the "vets," tallying. The recent resurgence of the Old Timers has tightened and the Rec hockey league race consid- erably. The Old Timers picked up two straight wins over the holidays to up their season point total to nine and put them into a second place tie with the Bank Boys. C r editon Tigers although splitting their last two con- tests, remain in first place with ten points to their credit, The Old Timers downed the Bank Boys 10-6, three nights before Christmas and outscored the Crediton crew 9-5 in last Thursday's action to move into the tie for second spot. In other action over the two week period, the Bank Boys licked Graham and Graham 10- 6 while Crediton downed the same club 7-3. Crediton's top goal producer, Fred Lamb, still leads the league with a total of 20 to his credit. Pete McFalls of the Bankers came up with 6 goals in two games to move into second spot with a season record of 16, one more than Jim McDonald of G & G. VETS DOWN LEADERS A holiday addition to the Old TRIPLES AGAIN In the Bank Boys 10-6 dici- sion against Graham and Gra- CANADIANS CAPTURE CUPS Three Canadians distinguished themselves by winning golfing titles on foreign soil. Gary Cowan of Kitchener became only the second Canadian in history to win the U.S, amateur golf championship in a 17-hole play-off victory at Merlon, Pa. In Japan, George Knudson of Toronto found his touch during the Canada cup matches and won individual honors from an illustrious field that in- cluded Americans Jack Nicklaus and Arnie Palmer. Marlene Stewart Streit, who just keeps get- ting better, lost the U.S. women's amateur on a fifth play-off hole and then went on to win the world's amateur title in Mexico City. Although the past year failed to produce any championships for local sports representatives, a ban- ner year was enjoyed by all, with increasing num- bers taking part. Curlers, bowlers and the youngsters in minor hockey and figure skating programs are out for the current season in record numbers. In high school competition, the South Huron senior girls' basketball club won the Huron-Perth conference title. Coached by Lauretta Siegner, the locals went through the six-game regular schedule undefeated and took two straight wins in the play- offs to bring home the title. The final win was ac- complished in a 31-30 squeaker over their rivals from St. Marys. A CFB Centralia rink skipped by Pres Lavier won the RCAF curling championship at Trenton in March of this past year. The prospects for a good finish in the current hockey campaign are bright as at least three clubs playing under the Exeter minor hockey association banner are on the move. The Exeter Hawks competing in the Sham- rock junior circuit are resting comfortably in second place with a nine-game Undefeated streak going for them at the moment. Our midget hockey club carried off the Lon- don Centennial hockey title over the weekend with convincing wins over Hamilton, Woodstock and Oak- ridge Acres. The local bantam aggregation competing in the Ice Bowl tourney, also at London, didn't win the championship but were awarded a trophy for show- ing the best sportsmanship on and off the ice.

GREEN Exeter 235.0897 WHAT'S UP FOR '67 ? Since our successful predictions in the World Series have' spurred us on, we will make a few sug. gestions as to what could happen in 'the sports field in 1967. Our Canadian national hockey team will re- gain the world amateur championship in Vienna in March and Canada will be awarded the 1970 global. tournament. Here's some wishful thinking. Flow about George Chuvalo winning the world's heavyweight boxing title some time in 1967? In closing, we would like to ask the support of everyone in the area in all of the Centennial func- tions of the year, whether they be of a sporting nature or not. The local celebrations during the month of February will be handled by RAP and a good pro- gram is being lined up, One of the highlights of the month will be the Figure Skating carnival on Feb. 11.
