In continuous exciting action, the Hawks scored two unanswered goals in the first two minutes of a ten minute overtime period to chalk up a 10-8 win. The eventual winning marker fired by Gary Parsons was recorded with a Point Edward performer sitting out a tripping penalty. The second game in the series that will provide a winner to go against either Dresden or Port Huron will be played in Point Edward tonight, Thursday, with the third contest on Exeter ice, Friday. The local juniors started out like a house-on-fire and were in Local ladies winners in district bonspiel front 2-0 before two minutes had elapsed in the first period. Bill Chipehase and Gary Parsons scored the quick counters with Dennis Morrissey and Craig Chapman drawing down the re- spective assists. After taking an apparent early command, the locals fell back on their laurels and before they knew what happened they were on the wrong end of a 5-2 count. The Point Edward boys scored five times in less than seven minutes and had the Hawks com- pletely disorganized. Five different visiting players hit the score sheet, with two of the markers coming with an Ex- eter performer sitting out a two minute penalty.

The hapless G & G six managed five points over the 15 game season. It took the final game of the regular schedule to give one team a clear majority atop the stand- ings in the Exeter Rec hockey league. The Crediton Tigers outscored the Bank Boys 9-3 in Thursday's opening game to capture the loop title by a mere two points. The two clubs were tied at 18 points going into the crucial contest.

TIE SCORE Scoring was cut down consider- ably in the second session as the hometown boys scored three times as compared to a single reply from the Redmen to knot the count at 6-6 as the teams headed for the second rest. Bill Bourne's long shot from the point found the range early in the middle frame before Bol- ton notched his second of the night to again put the visitors two goals up. Paul Young came through with a pair of goals near the midway mark to again put the two clubs on even terms. In the third period Point Ed- ward came on strong and again gained a two goal margin on scores by Fontaine and Chivers before eight minutes of play had elapsed. The Hawks got their third goal of the fray from a defenceman near the 12 minute mark when Ron Broderick flipped in a low screened drive from well out. With time running out, less than three minutes to be exact, Gary Parsons tipped in Larry Willert's relay to send the clubs into an extra ten minutes of play. Parsons notched his third goal of the contest at the one minute mark of overtime to actually decide the winner. Paul Young added the insurance marker only a minute later, to complete his hat trick performance. Referees Gus Boussey of Sea- forth and Lou Heinbuch of Mit- chell kept the game well under control, calling 24 penalties dur- ing the fast moving contest, each team drawing down an even doz- en. The point Edward boys were able to take advantage of the Exeter penalties and scored on four occasions, while the locals could count only twice when the situation was reversed. All the top prizes at a ladies open curling bonspiel in Clinton Wednesday were captured by Ex- eter rinks. In the first draw starting at nine o'clock, Helen Burton led her foursome to successive victories and the championship. Other members of the winning rink were Lee Dobbs, Marg Murley and Lois Learn. The eleven o'clock draw being the second event of the day was won by Ellen Knight's quartet, Barb Bell, Janie McDowell and Betty Coates comprised the bal- ance of the victorious group. In regular ladies league com- petition at the local curling club, play has moved into the third draw. Last week's scores were: H. Frayne 9 —J. McDowell 3 W. Wuerth 6 M. Ecker 5 T. Payne '7 — D.

Ross Hodgert managed to keep his rink on their winning ways and on top of Monday's list of competitors with 22 points. A tie exists in Tuesday action with foursome headed' by King McDonald and Jack Gaiser hold- ing identical point totals of 23. Thursday's competition is a family affair at the moment with brothers Lorne and Almer Pas- smore perched atop the group standings with 22 points each. Last week's scores were: Ross Hodgert 9 — L.

Middleton 1 A real scoring splurge, that netted him 12 goals in the last four weeks, enabled Larry Stire to capture the league scoring title. Stire amassed a season total of 33 to hold a six-goal bulge over runner-up Jim McDonald. Pete McFalls placed third with 26 goals and Fred Lamb scored 25, good for fourth spot. In last week's first contest that decided the league title, Pat Mc- Keever sunk the Bank Boys ship singlehandedly. McKeever scor- ed five times to lead his Crediton mates to the 9-3 win. Three of his scores came in the first seven minutes of play. Bob Galloway was Crediton's next top scorer with a hat trick for his night's effort. Jim Pfaff added the other marker for the winners. Two of the league's top scor- ers, Larry Stire and Pete Mc- Falls, scored single goals along with a similar counter from the stick of Bob Jones to account for the Bankers' tallying. BOGART BAGS FOUR A see-saw battle in the sec- ond game in which the Old Tim- ers decisioned G & G 8-6 was decided by late third period goals by the game's top goal producers, Ron Bogart and Dick Bennett. Bennett scored twice early in the first period to put his club up 2-0 and fired the actual winner in the last frame. Bogart bulged the twine on one occasion in the first and perform - ed a hat trick in the closing ses- sion. His final score added insur- ance for his mates in the dying moments. Jack Glover, an ex-junior Hawk, led the G & G scorers in a losing cause, flashing the red light three times. Jim McDonald chipped in with a pair of goals and Tom Watt added a single. on three occasions and hung on fur a 5-5 tie with Byron in the first game of a home and home total goals series at the arena Tuesday. The second contest is slated for the Strathroyarena,Friday night. Byron's top goal produce r, Blair Chown wasted little time in hitting the score sheet. Chown, who scored all his team's goals but one, beat Glen Stire in the Exeter nets in the first minute of game action. Chown drew the assist on a goal by team-mate Stephen Rob- erts near the 13 minute mark before the Exeter kids could get untracked. With less than five minutes to go in the opening session, the locals caught fire and forged ahead 3-2 before they headed for the first rest. Mike Hoy made the first Exeter impression on the scoreboard with a solo effort at 15:50. Past the 19 minute mark Barry Bayn- ham tied the count finishing off a fine passing effort initiated by Larry Laye and Ron Janke. Jim Hayter moved the Exeter club in front for the first time with only four seconds to go in the first frame tipping in a long shot fired by defenceman Bruce Forrest from the point. Byron's scoring ace, Chown, was back in business early in the second with his second coun- ter of the night for the only goal of the middle stanza. Mike Hoy put the locals in front with his second successful shot of the fray after four min- utes of third period action and his feat was again duplicated by Chown. Jim Hayter found the range for his second score just past the midway mark to give the Exeter boys a narrow 5-4 lead. The lead was again short lived as Chown took advantage of some loose defensive play by the Ex- eterites to again knot the count with his fourth and final scoring effort. The Exeter club drew 14 of the 23 penalties called by referees Bob Gauthier of London and Larry Willert of town.

That is the situation that has been existing in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league for most of the season and this week is no exception. The Hairpins, continually in and out of first place, have re- gained the top with a season total of 67 points, one more than the second place Itchy Four.

You could probably call the high winds of the week- end ill winds. They certainly blew and one of the scheduled events feeling the wrath of the storm was the monster old-fashioned skating carnival at the area Saturday night. It was cancelled. The complete program will go this Saturday night, if the weather is more favorable. Possibly, the ill winds did blow a little good. It gives us the oppor- tunity to get in a little more practice for the beard- ed men's race. A good list of prizes is being offered for the large variety of events and costume judging. One test of speed and steadiness will be an egg race for couples over 20 years of age. This will require a man and lady to skate together carrying an egg on a tea- spoon in their outside hands. Arena manager Alvin Willert, who is in charge of festivities, is offering low admission charges for those coming in costume. Adults appearing in cen- tennial garb, fancy costume, as a clown or any dis- guise will be admitted for 35 cents and children dressing up only paying 15 cents. Checking back to carnival ads of the past we find the admission fees back in 1940 — and that's 27 years ago — were 400, So everyone can truly enjoy himself in old style and at old time prices. We know of one fellow who has just cele- brated his 70th birthday who expects to be out for a skating spin come Saturday night. Do we have any- one who can beat this oldest skater? On the other side of the age ledger, a good prize also goes to the youngest skater appearing. Let's have a good turnout for this evening of exer- cise and fun and laughs. If you don't want to actively participate, at least be a "good skate" and join in on the hilarity as a spectator. PLAYOFFS IN HIGH GEAR Playoffs are well underway in most divisions of minor hockey in the district. The Exeter Hawks have moved one game up in their Shamrock junior "C" semi-final with Point Edward. The second game goes in the "Point" tonight, Thursday and the third contest here at the Exeter arena, Friday a 8:30. The Hawks took the opener 10-8 in overtime in exciting fashion. They have had more trouble with the Point Edward six than any of the other clubs in regular play. By finishing in second spot, the locals will be on home ice if a fifth game is necessary to declare a winner to meet either Dresden or Port Huron in the league final. The confines of the home rink could be the big factor in what is expected to be a tight series. The Exeter midgets are the only representa- tives of the EMHA still in contention for OMHA hon- ours, Handled by Gord Baynham and Terry Bourne, the 16 years and under youngsters have reached the third round and are meeting Byron this week in a two-game total goals series. The four local clubs competing in Shamrock minor play will be starting their playoffs the week of March 8. The standings as of March 4, regardless of whether all scheduled games have been complet- ed, will be used to determine playoff opposition. While on the playoff hockey theme, one league that deserves more fan support than it actual- ly receives has completed it's regular schedule. The four clubs of the Exeter and district Rec puck loop participate in friendly action each Thurs- day night at the arena. Tonight's play pits the Credi- ton Tigers, league winners, against the Old Timers in the first contest. The runner-up Bank Boys meet the cellar dwelling Graham and Graham outfit in the nightcap. Each series will be two-out-three affair. Although these pucksters play strictly for the fun and exercise involved they dish up a good brand of hockey. Each team has a good sprinkling of for- mer top minor stars, over-age juniors and some mem- bers of the old Mohawk intermediate club of a few years back. A trip to the arena any Thursday night after eight will certainly be well worth while for any hockey supporter. TOURNEYS APLENTY With Easter holidays less than a month away, plans have been pretty well completed for the local minor hockey clubs to participate in the annual in- vitational puck tournaments. The best known of its kind in Canada, the Young Canada pee wee tourney in Goderich is going to be bigger and better than ever. In keeping with centennial celebrations. one hundred teams will be accommodated at the lakeport arena and the entry lists were filled quite awhile ago. There are reasons why this annual affair keeps growing. In our opinion it is the best operated tourney of its kind. Every facet of the operation is well organized right from the scheduling of games, billeting of players, feeding the many hungry boys, to the officiating. The refereeing is handled by a volunteer group from many points in the province. The offi- cials are organized and games allotted by referee-in- chief Stan Stokes of London who is also president of the Ontario Minor hockey association. Theee referees come many miles at their own expense to participate in the event that is this year drawing clubs from nearly every province in Canada and from several points in the United States. The Exeter pee weer have again been entered and will be trying to regain the championship trophy won about three years ago. During the same week three other Exeter teams will be participating in post season play. The novice team, the youngest of the boys travelling, will be in Brampton; the bantams will be in Georgetown and the midgets will compete in an international event in Port Huron. The local midgets may also enter a sort of novel tournament being planned for the Strathroy arena by Stan Moore, recreation director of the town. Stan, who had been the push behind junior "B" hockey in St. Marys before heading for Strathroy, will have eight entries in each of pee wee, bantam, midget and novice classes. Each team will play the other clubs once, making a schedule of seven games and then all.star clubs will be selected from each division to meet teams from Toronto or Detroit to wind tip activities. If
