GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Dresden Kings bounce off ropes to extend junior "C" group final Fans back the Hawks Last week we mentioned the tremendous fan support that the junior Hawks were receiving in the Shamrock junior "C" playoffs and how much the good crowds both at home and away were contribut- ing to the success of the team. This wonderful backing continued at the local arena Friday night when 723 fans turned out to see the locals edge Dresden 8-6 and take a 2-0 edge in the best-of-seven series. The 723 figure may not sound outstanding, but considering the terrible weather conditions that existed Friday night, the crowd was excellent. Many fans from the country, although going only a fairly short distance, had trouble getting home through the blinding snowstorm. A goodly number of local fans accompanied the Hawks to Dresden again on Sunday and cheered them on to their third consecutive triumph, again achieved as the result of a three-goal spurt in the third period. The Hawks are gaining quite a reputation as a come-from-behind team. If they can finish off Dres- den this week their next OHA opposition will likely be the Leamington Flyers. If this series is arranged, it will point up a laxity in organization by the Ontario Hockey Asso- ciation's executive. The Leamington club was offered entry in the Shamrock league by the existing members but re- fused. They then received a bye into OHA playoffs and it now seems to us to be a little foolish that the Hawks will have to make the long trip south to play a club that may have been eliminated during the league playoffs. It is highly improbable that if the southern team was in the league that the Hawks would have had to play both Dresden and Leaming- ton in the playdowns. Byes as the Leamington club received are usually only given when a team cannot be placed in a satisfactory grouping. We don't know their reason for refusing to play in the regular season but guess it would be because of travelling. Knowing the make- up of the league, we doubt if they would have any more travelling mileage throughout the year than the Exeter boys. Their only long haul would have been to Exe- ter, while the Hawks made regular visits to Dresden, Blenheim, Alvinston, Point Edward and other dis- tant points. In their last five or six games, the local jun- iors have been turning in a pleasing brand of hockey and a continuation of this could put them a long way up the OHA playoff ladder. One of the main reasons for their latest upsurge is their ability to keep away from foolish penalties. firing end of the second Hawk counter at 15.39 with young and Bill Bourne helping out. Each team scored three times in a fast moving second period to maintain the deadlock after 40 minutes of play. Chipchase, Young and Gary Parsons fired the Exeter mark- ers while Gary Webster was res- ponsible for a pair of Dresden scores and Gerd Woolman pro- duced the other. Woolman was back quickly in the third to score at the three minute mark to give his club a lead for the third time in the game. About three minutes later the Hawks were back on even terms as Mike Cushman moved right in on goal to pick the short side after using left winger Gary Par- sons as a decoy. The eventual winning marker was scored by Dennis Morrissey at 11.10 on a long shot from the blueline that never left the ice with two Dresden performers sitting out penalties. Only 23 seconds later Cush- man netted the insurance goal on a backhand drive to send 723 fans home happy. and Fairbairn setting up the score. Fairbairn and Gord Woolman of Dresden traded goals past the halfway mark to preserve the Exeter lead at one until Bill Chipchase found the range near the bell to make the score 3-1. F a s t moving action in t h e second period produced only one goal as Doug Pugh hit for the home team as they outshot the Exeter club 15-9. The same type of play con- tinued for the first half of the third stanza without a score and then the goals came thick and fast. Bill Fairbairn scored twice to complete his hat trick, while Roy Boyes picked up a pair and Clark Woolman added a single to tie the count at 5-5 at 13.08. Only 22 se c onds after Wool- man's marker, Mike Cushman fired what proved to be the winner and followed with the clincher only a minute later. Chapman added his second of the night at 17.42 to complete the scor- ing. In the final period, the Hawks outshot Dresden 19-11. robbed Mike Cushman from point blank range. The visitors kept skating and moving the puck well and were rewarded with three more scores before eight min- utes had elapsed on the clock. Al Houston was on the firing end of two of the successful shots and Doug Pugh triggered the other to cut the Exeter lead to 6-5. With about a minute to go Dres- den pulled their net minder and sent six forwards into the attacking zone. The Hawks were desperately hanging on by this time and were able to hold the puck against the board for face- offs at least six times in the last minute. In a wild scramble around the Hawks net and time running out, Clark Woolman was able to bat the equalizer home. The Hawks wasted little time hitting the score sheet in the first period. Paul Young scored the initial marker on an un- assisted effort at 2.38 and Dennis Morrissey made it 2-0 less than t w o minutes later with passing assistance from Bill Chipchase. Past the halfway mark, another pair of quick tallies upped the Exeter lead to 4-0. Bill Fairbairn found the range with Craig Chap- man and Mike Cushman assisting while Cushman followed quickly with Chapman's help. In the second stanza Morrissey and Cushman each picked up their second goals of the game and Ross Boyes tallied for the visitors to give the Hawks a 6-1 edge heading for the third period. The Kings came out flying in the third and were in business in less than a minute with Andy Jones blinking the light behind Tom Glavin in the Exeter cage. Seconds after Jones found the range, Goddard made one of the best saves of the night as he second period of Tuesday's game here, the Dresden boys never quit skating and scored five times in the third period. Clark Woolman batted the puck into the Exeter cage from a wild scramble near the goal crease at 19.56 to culminate the dramatic drive. The Hawks seemed to have the series in the bag as they counted four times in the first twenty minutes of play and outscored the visitors 2-1 in the middle frame. A move made by Dresden coach Don Booker after the first period of play probably changed the com- plexion of the contest. He pulled regular goalie Dave Card from the nets and replaced him with his back up man Bill Goddard. Goddard turned in a sensa- tional puck stopping display es- pecially in the third stanza and in the ten minute overtime period. The Hawks were unable to put the puck past the relief goalie after the 10 minute mark of the second frame. A ball game is never over until the last man is out or a hockey game isn't over until the last buzzer sounds. Mem- bers of the Exeter Hawks will agree with the latter statement. With three straight wins under their belts in the Shamrock junior "C" group final against Dres- den Kings, the Hawks blew a five goal lead in the third period Tuesday and lost 7-6 in over- time. Dresden scored the tying goal with only four seconds left in regulation time. The fifth game of the best-of- seven series will be played in Dresden Friday night with a sixth game if necessary at the Exeter arena, Saturday. If the series is extended to a seventh game it Will be in Dresden, Tuesday. The Hawks were victorious 8-6 on Exeter ice Friday and 8-5 in Dresden Sunday to build up a commanding series lead. NEVER QUIT Despite being on the short end of a 6-1 score at the end of the A THRILLER Overtime play was exciting right from the first whistle with Tom Glavin coming up with sev- eral key stops in the first two minutes as Dresden seemed to sense a victory was within their grasp. A neat three-way passing play netted the eventual winner as Don Glassford directed the rubber home from Roy Boyes and Andy Jones. The last minute of overtime was a complete reversal from the same moment in the third period as the Hawks with six attackers were all around the Dresden net and just missed the mark on at least a half dozen occasions. A crowd of 1083 was on hand for the exciting contest. FALL BEHIND In contrast to the other games of the series, the Kings scored twice early in the first period of Friday's game here. Roy Boyes found the range at the six second mark moving right in from the opening face-off. Tom Payne upped the Dresden lead to 2-0 at 7.18. Only nine seconds later, the locals hit the scoreboard for the first time. Bill Chipchase fin- alized a passing pattern started by Dennis Morrissey and Paul Young. Morrissey was on the It makes the practice worthwhile The beginner and junior members of the Exeter figure skating club completed their season with final tests at the arena Monday afternoon. Some of the older competitors will be in action again next week. In the above picture Mrs. Harold Holtzman is presenting ribbons to the top three skaters in each division.

As in previous games, Mike Cushman came through with a rush when the score was tied and put the locals in front to stay. The lanky centre scored two goals in little over a min- ute just after Dresden had knotted the count at 5-5 past the midway mark of the closing session. Bill Fairbairn, up from the midgets replacing the injured Gary Parsons on left wing of the first line, led the Hawks scoring attack with a hat trick to his credit. 'Captain Craig Chapman put the Hawks off on the right foot with a quick marker after only 27 seconds of play with Cushman sail won their first contest over Winona 3-2 and were dumped by Huron East 7-2 in the "C" final. past the blueline where a Lambeth performer picked it up and raced back to score the clincher. Larry Haugh fired both of Ex- eter's successful shots in the second period. SCORE EARLY All the goals were scored in the first half of the game as the Exeter midgets downed Huron 3-1 to advance into further play. Ron Janke and Randy Parsons tallied the Exeter scores in the first while Pete Smolders re- plied for the visitors. In the early moments of the middle frame Jim Hayter notched the third Exeter counter on a pass from Larry Laye. BANTAMS FADE A breakaway goal by Lambeth with only a minute to go in regulation play sent the Exeter bantams down to their 3-2 defeat in London, Saturday. The home club scored the only goal of the first period and the Exeterites came back with a 2-1 edge in the second to even the count. With time running out, the Exeter boys had a three man break on the Lambeth net, but a shot by Pete Glover was blocked by the goalie and bounced out STRONG IN SECOND Three unanswered goals in the second period enabled the Hensall pee wees to carry on to the 5-4 win in Exeter, Thursday. The Exeter boys took a 2-0 first period lead on goals by Peter Kleinstiver and Wayne Brintnell, but the beantowners got single scores from Bevin Kinsman, Randy Campbell and Cord Pryde to take a 3-2 lead after two periods of action. Doug Miners and Perry Stover hit the mark for the locals in the final frame while Campbell not- ched his second for Hensall and Mac Williams scored on a play with Tom Workman. In tourney competition in Lucan, Doug Miners scored Ex- eter's lone goal in each game. Although dropping the opener to Strathroy 2-1, the locals car- ried a good share of the play, outshooting their opposition 16-8. Preceding the junior Hawks playoff game Friday, the Exeter novice club scored a handy 4-0 win over a group of similar aged youngsters from London. Mark Hearn, Noel Skinner, John Wuerth and Bryan Penhale were the Exeter marksmen. Another Exeter minor hockey club has reached the finals of the Shamrock league. The mid- gets, handled by Gord Baynham and Terry Bourne, downed Huron Heights 3-1 at the Exeter arena, Wednesday to take the two game total goal series 4-2 and qualify to meet Stoneybrook in the loop final. The local bantams dropped the opener of a best-of-three final to Lambeth 3-2 on London Gar- dens ice Saturday and hosted the same club at the Exeter rink last night, Wednesday. The pee wees, inactive in Shamrock competition for more than a week, have been keeping in shape with exhibition and tournament games. They lost the first game of a semifinal series to Huron Heights by one goal and are waiting for the second game. On home ice Thursday, the twelve and under boys were de- feated by Hensall 5-4 in an ex- citing contest. Both clubs were eliminated in the annual Lucan pee wee tourney Saturday. The Exeter boys lost to Strathroy 2-1 and Delhi 6-1, while Hen- BUSY WEEK FOR KIDS Next week will be a school holiday, but it should be a busy one for any boys participating in the Exeter minor hockey program. Four of the local allstar clubs will be playing in various Easter week tournaments and other boys will be seeing action in a house league tourney of the Lake Huron zone recreation council at the local arena. Probably the best known tournament of its kind in existence is the Goderich Young Canada pee wee event. This year in keeping with the Centennial theme, 100 entries have been accepted and 96 games will be necessary to declare a winner in each of the five divisions. In order to accommodate the additional teams, the tourney will start tonight (Thursday) with three games and an additional game will be played each day to complete the busy schedule by the evening of April 1. The Exeter pee wees will be meeting Clinton, Tuesday morning at 8:10 in their first action in class "B". Many other area clubs will also be seeing ac- tion throughout the week-long tourney. Grand Bend, Zurich, Hensall, Lucan, Ailsa Craig and Ilderton are some of the district clubs taking part. One of the features of the Goderich affair will be an exhibition contest Wednesday night at 7:50 bringing together clubs from two quite distant points in North America. A bunch of twelve-year-olds from Pasadena, California will be testing their hockey abilities against a similar group from Conception Bay North in Newfoundland. Despite the fact hockey is fairly new to Cali- fornians, we would expect their club to put up a good show as now more than a million transplanted Canadians live in California. Any fans wishing hockey entertainment any- time during Easter week can do worse than dropping in to the Goderich arena. Although the "D" series starts tonight with Grand Bend playing at 6:40 and continues Good Friday afternoon, Saturday will be the first full day with twelve games on tap, and con- tinues throughout the following week. Tigers clip Old Timers meet Bankers in final In the second stanza Lamb broke loose with a trio of goals while Wagner added two more and Red Loader chipped in with a single to maintain the Crediton one goal margin at 6-5. The final twenty minutes of action was fast and furious with Loader scoring on a solo effort early to knot the count at 6-6. Jim Morrissey retaliated for the Tigers and scored twice in less — Please turn to page '7 FOR THE BEST IN TV SERVICE 236-4094 ZURICH McADAMS TV One of the top scorers during the regular schedule of the Ex- eter Rec hockey league was back in action for the third game of the best-of-three semi-finals to lead the Crediton Tigers to a 9-7 victory over the Old Timers, Thursday, Fred Lamb, who led the scor- ers for all but the last two weeks of regular play, bulged the twine on five occasions to put the Crediton boys in the finals against the Bank Boys. The first contest in the final, another best-of-three set will be played at the arena tonight, Thursday at 8:00 pm. If any members of the junior Hawks were at the arena for the deciding game between Cred- lion and the Old Timers they would have seen their coach try- ing to set a good example. Earl Wagner who guides the local juniors from the bench, Scored four goals for the oldsters in an attempt to match Lamb's performance, The score was close from start to finish with never more than two goals separating the clubs at any time. Crediton held a 3-2 edge after the first period of play on goals by .The Regier, Pat McKeever arid Lamb while Dick Bennett and Wagner clicked for the Old Titters, ORGANIZE PONY EXPRESS An enthusiastic Exeter horseman, Dalton Fink- beiner, will be a busy fellow for the next couple of months. A member of the local Saddle Club and one of the prime supporters of the attempt to have rodeo facilities built at Exeter community park,- Finkbeiner has been appointed Ontario coordinator for a pony express ride from British Columbia to Montreal. This is the second leg of the longest trip by horseback ever attempted. Starting in Mexicala, Mex- ico, on May 1 of last year, Al Legate, a native of California, arrived in Victoria on January 24. Legate tarried a scroll to Lieutenant-Gover- nor Pearkes of British Columbia, which in turn will be delivered to Expo in Montreal. The 3,000 mile trip is expected to begin in Victoria this week and end in Montreal about July 3. The Canadian portion of the jaunt, started last year, is being supervised by the Trails Unlimited committee of the British Columbia Riding club. Un- der the present plan, the trip will be made in relays with each horse and rider travelling a maximum of five miles and about 40 miles will be covered each day Finkbeiner's chore is to contact 42 riding clubs, mostly in the northern part of the province where stops will be made and have each local club supply the necessary horses and riders, The On- tario journey will begin at Iteevatin and end at ilawkesbury near the Quebec border.
