Braid was back with another solo score early in the third and Brad Klumpp and Larry Haugh also tallied before the completion of the game. The Exeter and Lucan bantam hockey clubs each turned in double wins Saturday to win top honors in their respective div- isions of the annual LucanSham- rock hockey tournament. The locals, coached by Lorne Haugh, downed Saltfleet in the opening contest 4-1 and edged a tough St. Marys club 2-1 to bring home the Haskett trophy, top award for competing "B" clubs. Lucan's Irish six, directed by Carl Nickles sailed to an easy 10-0 win over Ailsa Craig in the opener and registered a 7-4 victory over Ilderton to gain the Langford Lumber trophy in "D" play. Lambeth were victorious in the "C" category, nipping Dresden 1-0 in the championship contest after downing Mitchell 4-2 in preliminary play. Four teams were entered in each of the three divisions with each club playing two games, regardless of the outcome of their first outing. Accepts silverware Exeter bantams were successful in winning the '.13" title at Satur- day's Lucan Shamrock hockey tourney and received the Haskett trophy.

GOALIE SHARP The outstanding performance of Mike McLaughlin between the pipes for Exeter made the big difference in the final game that was evenly matched for the first two periods. Neither club was able to score in the first twenty minutes and captain John Braid put the Exeter boys in front 1-0 near the three minute mark of the m id di e session on a blistering drive from near the blueline. Brad Klumpp started the play for the initial score. The final frame was just under- way when the St. Marys kids were able to knot the count, Ken Mc- Cutcheon blinking the light with the assist going to Ted Bestard. From here on in, the Stone town boys dominated play and only the acrobatic work of Mc- Laughlin kept the Exeterites in the game. After numerous bril- liant stops by the local net- minder, his mates moved the puck down the ice and Larry Haugh rapped in the winner on a rebound of a shot by Ronnie Lindenfield. With a one goal edge, the eventual winners tightened up a bit and were able to hang on to post the first victory ever over St. Marys since most of the boys started chasing pucks as squirts. OVERCOME DEFICIT Three goals in less than three minutes midway through the sec- ond period enabled the Lucan bantams to wipe out an early Ilderton lead and go on to win 7-4 in the class "D" finals. Allan Kraui notched two mark- ers and Randy Mason a single to put the Irish boys in front in the middle session, Tom Hodgins, Ilderton's top scorer, opened the scoring in the early moments of the game before Dennis Carty tied it for the Lucanites. Terry Shaver put Ilderton ahead 2-1 with a suc- cessful shot near the close of the first. Only one minute had elapsed in the second when Jim Hearn's shot hit the Ilderton twine to again knot the count. The stale- mate was short-lived as John Bice put the eventual losers on top 3-2. The Irish then broke loose with their trio of scores to take a 5-3 lead to the second break. Lucan goals by Jim Macklin and Hearn completed their scor- ing while Hodgins replied again in single style for Ilderton. A couple of hat tricks pro- vided by Allan Kraul and Jim Hearn sent the Irish away and winging on their 10-0 romp over Ailsa Craig in the tourney open- er. Jim Macklin and Dennis Carty collected a pair of goals each to complete the rout. Carty was awarded a trophy as the most valuable player in the entire tournament. Complete tourney scores were: Lucan 10 - Ailsa Craig 0 Ilderton 9 - Lambeth B 0 Lambeth 4 - Mitchell 2 Dresden 4 - Milverton 0 St. Marys 6 - Byron 0 Exeter 4 - Saltfleet 1 Ailsa Craig 5 - Lambeth B 0 Lucan '7 - Ilderton 4 Lambeth 1 - Dresden 0 Mitchell 2 - Milverton 2 Saltfleet 4 - Byron 0 Exeter 2 - St. Marys 1 Only one point separates the top three clubs in the Exeter Rec hockey league after Thursday's regular doubleheader. The Bank Boys and Old Timers each chalked up their second straight victories to up their season point totals to 14, one back of the front running Credi- ton Tigers. In the night's opener, the Old Timers ran roughshod over Gra- ham and Graham by an 8-2 count. Closing out the twin bill, the Bank Boys went on their biggest scoring spree of the year, trim- ming the first place Crediton six, 11-4. Despite the Crediton loss, their top sniper Fred Lamb continues to lead the loop's goal scorers with a total of 27. Larry Stire of the Bankers notched three markers to strengthen his hold on second spot with 24. Jim Mc- Donald and Pete McFalls follow with respective goal records of 21 and 20. In this week's action G & G ',Why don't you play golf with George any more?" Pete's wife asked. "Would you play golf with a fel- low who puts down the wrong score and moves the ball when you aren't watching?" “No," she replied. "Neither will George," said Pete. WIN EASILY The Exeter 4-1 win over Salt- fleet in the opener was accom- plished in fairly easy fashion with Mike McLaughlin having little business in the nets. The clubs traded goals in the first period and the Exeter boys fired three unanswered markers in the last session to salt away Residents of the community will have an op- portunity every month of 1967 to take part in some centennial observance but the month of February is one of the busiest as far as sports activities are con- cerned This past weekend, saw students of South Hur- on district high school take part in a day of skating and broomball at the arena. They also displayed their talents in snow sculpturing in the area north of the arena. Saturday night of this week, the local figure skating club presents their annual carnival featuring a variety of acts aimed at pleasing all in attendance. This year's presentation is entitled "Colour- ama" and is expected to be one of the best produc- tions the local club has ever put on. As in most ventures of this nature, a lot of work behind the scenes is necessary before the fin- ished product is ready for a live audience. Preparation for the annual ice show began many months ago involving a number of the execu- tive members. One of the hardest workers is the club pro, Mrs. Faye McDonald, who selects the numbers to be shown in addition to the actual training of the young- sters in their intricate manoeuvres. She spends a lot of her off-season time in choosing and taping the proper background music. Some of this year's music has been taped from church services. Mrs. McDonald also handles all the choreography in connection with the carnival. The last five days before the carnival are the most hectic for everyone involved. Costumes are handed out to most of the performers. Well, they're not exactly handed out, because here there can be many problems. The costumes are rented from other skating clubs in Ontario and sometimes a lot of de- liberation is necessary to find the right size of cos- tume for every performer. The local skating club pays anywhere from one to three dollars for the rental of the costumes for one week. In turn, the skaters pay for the rental of their own finery that you will see them in Satur- day night, The flat rate to the youngsters is $1.50, This year the costumes were obtained from Oakville, Dundas, Unionville and Stratford. Although most of the costumes are rented, several of the skaters doing solo numbers have their own. The local club owns about a dozen navy blue skirts that they in turn rent to other clubs in need of the same type of dress. In order to keep expenses at a minimum, members of the executive do all the work they pos- sibly can. The four-page program is laid out and printed by the volunteer group and in addition they canvass local merchants for donations and advertis- ing. Although the skating members of the club pay a good sum of money in registrations, success of the club's year depends on the support received from the general public at the annual carnival. Each year the quantity and quality of skaters is increasing, so we're sure anyone attending the up- coming ice show will be assured of a good night's entertainment. Every one of the 93 skaters will ap- pear in at least two numbers. WELLS SHARP Four goals from the stick of Fred Wells, three in the first period, enabled the Old Timers to hang up their decisive victory over Graham and Graham and move close to the top of the league standings. Ron Bogart registered two goals and Earl Wagner and Kevin Delbridge added singles to com- plete the winners' total. Jim McDonald was responsible for both G & G counters. Larry Stire and Pete McF ails, two of the top four scorers in the league, led the Bankers' 11-4 romp over Crediton with identi- cal three-goal efforts to their credit. GPor g e Tryon aided t h e ",monied men" cause with a duo of counters while Bob Jones, Bill Heywood and Lloyd Moore chipped in with singletons. Crediton goals were notched by Fred Lamb who scored in double fashion and singles from Jim Morrissey and Joe Regier, Five games remaining ANOTHER CARNIVAL Also this weekend, the Hensall Kinsmen are getting into the carnival mood. Saturday afternoon, a variety of games and contests are lined up for con- testants of all ages. One of the features will be a challenge •snow- shoe race between the village reeve, Mrs. Minnie Noakes and area mayors and reeves. At the time of writing, only Jack Corbett, reeve of Hay township, has indicated he will be in the running in the grudge match. Other activities will include snowmobile races, pony and cutter races and a log cutting contest. Cut- ters ane. sleighs will be on hand to take youngsters for rides. The winter carnival atmosphere begins Fri- day night with an old-time dance in the arena at which time a Snow Queen will be crowned. Hawks fall to third place Legion darters bunched at top The four point lead held by the Hairpins atop the Exeter Legion dart league a week ago has dwindled to a single point. The loop leaders were held to a single point by the Itchy Four in Friday's weekly action and now claim a season total of 58. The Dart Sharks were able to accumulate four points on the night to move close with 5'7. The Itchy Four with a good night's performance now have 56 good for third spot and a five point edge on the fourth place Clean- ers. Friday's scores were as fol- lows; Itchy Four 4 Hairpins 1 Cleaners 4 -- Four B's 1 Bluebirds 4 — Shiphunters 1 Dart Sharks 4 --Legionnaires 1 Sharpshooters 3 — Generals 2 Featherflights 3 — Canners 2 40 27 67 21 42 63 39 21 60 22 34 56 25 28 53 21 26 47 27 19 46 20 25 45 Roy Boyes, Dre Craig Chapman, Ex Gary Parsons, Ex Andy Jones, Dre Doug Dundas, Alv Dennis Morrissey,Ex Ray Morgan, Alv Al Houston, Dre The Exeter Hawks dr opped their latest game in Shamrock junior action to the Point Ed- ward Redmen at the arena, Fri- day by a 6-2 count. As a result of the loss and a couple of wins by the Port Huron Beefeaters, the Hawks have drop- ped into third place, the first time they have been forced to vacate second position since early in the season. Dresden Kings continue to hold first place with a total of 38 points and the Port Huron boys have 31 points to their credit, two more than the locals. Point A LONG TIME COMING The fact the Exeter bantams won the "B" division of the Lucan Shamrock hockey tournament Saturday, was not as surprising as the news they de- feated a St. Marys club in the process. This was the first time in about six years that the boys now playing bantam have been able to defeat a team from the Stone Town. Most of the cur- rent youngsters started in squirt and moved up through pee wee to their present class and failed to come up with a win against a St. Marys club until Saturday. It was the fantastic display of goal tending by Mike McLaughlin that kept the locals in the game and preserved a 2-1 win in the final contest. The young custodian was a real "jumping jack" in the final period as he blocked shots from all angles. McLaughlin missed the best goalie trophy of the day as the award was based on only the first game played by each team and didn't take into con- sideration the night contests. Edward have 26 points and have one game in hand on the Exeter club. The junior Hawks have five games left on their schedule, the same amount as the club from across the river. Belmont will be visiting the Hawks at the arena, Friday and Alvinston will be in Tuesday in a game that was postponed a week ago because of bad weather. A Point Edward performer, Len Fontaine, has taken over the Shamrock scoring leader ship from Mike Cushman of Exeter who had been in command most of the season. Fontaine has pick- ed up 44 goals and a total of 78 points to lead in both depart- ments. Cushman leads in assists with 37 and is second in the scoring race with 68 points. FALL BEHIND The Hawks fell behind by three goals in the first period and were never able to get back into con- tention. They came back to out- score the visitors 2-1 in the second session but failed to hit the mark in the final as Point Edward tallied two more. When the Hawks did get roll- ing later in the game, the great play of goalie Kelly Geary kept them at bay. Len Fontaine, who has now moved into the league scoring lead, scored twice in the first period and again in the third to account for half the point Ed- ward total. Bill Chivers banged in the other opening frame goal for the winners. Dennis Morrissey and Gary parsons put the hawks on the scoreboard with single markers in the second. The final Point Edward counters were fired by Fontaine, Chivers and Keith Mc- Lean.

One problem still to be solved will be the chore of drawing up a satisfactory schedule. Accord- ing to previously announced plans, the present six clubs will be paying at least two visits each to the arenas of the new teams. We are wondering if expansion will make any changes in the traditional Wednesday and Saturday home games of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Mont- real Canadiens. Television coverage is becoming an increasing influence on sports scheduling and the new NHL will be no exception. American broadcasting corpo- rations will be handing out large sums for television rights and some of the scheduling could be based on Tv demands, Len Fontaine, Pt, E Mike Cushman, 1 Shamrock Jr. Hockey 8:30 p.m. — Arena Friday, Feb. 10 EXETER HAWKS vs BELMONT Tuesday, Feb. 14 EXETER HAWKS vs ALVINSTON JACK SMITH JEWELLER Latest design in watches Avon & Boucher jewelry.
