The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1967-06-08, Page 6FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haigh Good show next week Times-Advocate, June 8, 1967 Pogo 6 Hockey stars feature minor 'hockey banquet "Hockey is now a profession and no longer a game". These were the words of Ebbie Bishop, general manager of the London Nationals, speaking to the father and son banquet of the Exeter Minor Hockey Asaocia- tion at the Legion Hall, Friday. Bishop went on to say, "there is now a greater opportunity for young Jockey players with NHL expansion. The pros have the greatest pension plan in the world and the average NHL salary is now $16,500. It takes a univera sity degree to earn a salary comparable to that of a profes- sion hockeyist." In his speech directed mostly at the more than 150 youngsters of the EMHA who were accom- panied by their fathers, the Lon- don manager urged the boys to stick to their education. He went List game schedule for rec ball game The playing schedule and rules for the 1967 season of the Exeter Rec softball league were released this week by convener Alvin Wil- What's going on here?

A boy heading to a junior "A" club will be provided with room and board, books and tuition for high school and will also be as- sisted through university as long as he is of junior age. The nine clubs in the junior "A" loop last year spent more than one million dollars in oper- ating expenses. Other guests who spoke briefly and answered questions were Walter "Turk" Broda, former Leaf goalie and now coach of the London Nationals and Jack Chip- chase and Larry Jeffrey of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Broda, when questioned re- garding the use of curved sticks replied, "they make the puck do tricks and centre men can't con- trol the puck as well, especially on back-hand attempts. Jack Chipchase, a graduate of the Hensall minor system played last s ea son with the Omaha Knights of the Central league on loan from the Toronto organiza- tion. When asked of his hopes in the upcoming draft, Jack said "I would like to stay with the Leafs, but if I go to a new club I would prefer Los Angeles." Jeffrey was asked his reaction of the recent trade of Eddie Shack to Boston and replied"now we will run into him in games rather than in practice". Derry Boyle, president of the local minor hockey association was master of ceremonies for the evening activities and intro- duced the captains of the Exeter minor all star clubs as follows: novice, Noel Skinner; pee wees, Peter Kleinstiver; bantams, John Braid; midgets, Bill Fairbairn; junior Hawks, Craig Chapman. lent, A five team league a year ago, the play-for-fun circuit has been reduced to four teams. The Kinsmen, Legion and Teen Town 1966 participants are back with the addition of the Crediton Tigers who were out of action for one year. The two clubs drop- ping out for the new term are Centralia and the Exeter Bowl- ing Lanes, For each game the home team is to supply a new ball and the plate umpire while the visiting club arranges for a good used ball and the services of the base umpire. Each team is requested to submit a list of all players and a registration fee of $1 for each member of its roster to Howard Holtzmann by July 15, The complete schedule is as follows: JUNE 12 — Crediton at Legion 15 — Kinsmen at Teen Town 19 — Crediton at Kinsmen 22 — Teen Town at Crediton Kinsmen at Legion 26 — Legion at Teen Town 29 — Kinsmen at Crediton Teen Town at Legion McKnight's best lawn bowlers JULY — Crediton at Legion 6 — Teen Town at Crediton Legion at Kinsmen 10 — Teen Town at Kinsmen 13 — Legion at Crediton Kinsmen at Teen Town 17 — Crediton at Kinsmen 20 — Legion at Crediton Teen Town at Kinsmen 24 — Teen Town at Legion 27 — Kinsmen at Crediton Legion at Teen Town 31 — Crediton at Teen Town VICTORIA AND GREY TRUST hitter. With two out in the ninth, DaShwood's Bill Schade lined a sharp single to right-centre field to foil the Mitchell right-hander in his bid for fame. Ahrens issued eight walks and hit two batsmen, enabling the Tigers to get three potential run scorers as far as third base. On the opposing mound, youth- ful Bob Webb turned in a for- midable performance. The 16 year-old flinger allowed only two runs and five hits in the seven innings he worked. Eugene Guen- ther tossed the eighth frame and was touched for the third Mit- chell tally. In the second week of play in the Huron-Perth baseball league the fans were treated to a variety of diamond action. Zurich Lumber Kings won their second straight game of the seas- on on their borne field Wednesday, coming from behind an eight run deficit to shade St. Marys 11-10. The same Kings bit the dust in Walkerton Sunday as they were drubbed 11-2 by last year' s champs, In the best played game of the week, Mitchell Legionnaires edg- ed Dashwood Tigers 3-0 in Mit- chell Sunday. Walkerton remains as the only undefeated club in the al-P loop. In the first twice weekly jit- neys of the season of the Exeter lawn bowling club, the ladies proved to be the most talented. Mrs. Len McKnight was the top performer in Tuesday's sing- les action and placed a close sec- ond to Mrs, Wilf Shapton in Sat- urday night competition. Mrs. McKnight won two games, a plus of 19 and an aggregate of 35 to top Tuesday's entry list of 17 performers. Len Mc- Knight was right back of his wife in the runner-up post equalling her win and plus record but falling short with an aggregate of 31. Ross Taylor and Harold Simpson were next in line with PITCHING DUEL Sunday's 3-0 Mitchell winover Dashwood was a tight pitchers' battle from start to finish. Legionnaires' Ernie Ahrens, although running into constant trouble due to wildness, came within one out of gaining a no- 261st CONSECUTIVE COMMON STOCK IVIDENP Notice is hereby given that a quarterly dividend of Four- teen Cents (140 per share has been declared on the issued common shares of VICTORIA and GREY TRUST Company, payable on and after June 15th, 1967 to shareholders of record May 31st, 1967. By Order of the Board R.G. Thomas, Q.C., Secretary. FINE RELIEF JOB Don O'Brien, starting his 18th season as a member of a Zur- ich intermediate baseball club, came on as a relief pitcher in the third inning and gained credit for his club's come-from-behind 11-10 win over St. Marys. The veteran O'Brien took over with his mates on the short end of a 9-2 count and allowed but one run the rest of the way as his mates battled back. Sharp singles by playing man- ager George Haggitt and starting pitcher Dick Bedard sent the ty- ing and winning runs across the plate in the bottom of the sixth Supply weapons for bowling duel Choose your weapons is the usual cry when a duel is in sight, but in the latest project of the Exeter Lawn Bowling club they are supplying the dueling utensils. Under the direction of presid- ent Art Cann, invitations are go- ing out to 11 men's organizations in Exeter and district to take part in a "Centennial Duel To The Death" at the local bowling greens, Thursday June 29 at 6:00 p.m. Each club that receives an in- vitation is expected to send a pair of two-man teams to par- ticipate in the duel that will ac- tually be a test of lawn bowling. All entrants must be complete newcomers to the game without any match experience. Practice games will be allow- ed on June 14 and 22. Each of the anticipated 22 entrants will have the services of a member of the local club to act as coach. Prizes will be awarded to the top four rinks and refreshments will be served to everyone. In addition to the centennial theme, the upcoming duel will be an at- tempt to introduce more persons to the popular summer sport that can be enjoyed by all ages.

Mrs. Shapton gained a clear margin in taking Saturday's jit- ney with two wins and a plus of 20. Mrs. McKnight placed sec- ond as the result of a 16 plus. Fred Tilley and Vern Smith end- ed in a third place tie. Bigger and better than ever. That is the ten that is quite often used to describe a sporting event. But this is exactly what officials of the Exeter Saddle club are expecting of their Mid-Western Quarter Horse Shaw scheduled for Saturday, June 17. Last year's show, the first of its kind in this part of the country, drew a total of 176 entries en- abling the event to be classed as "B". Members of the enthusiastic local club are hoping for entries this year in excess of 225, which would put the show in the "A" class category. This would be the first "A" show in the province and only second in the entire Dominion of Canada. The show will run in two sections with reg- istered quarter horses at halter in the morning com- mencing at 8:30 and performance classes going in the afternoon. For exciting action from a spectator point of view the afternoon portion of the program will prove to be the best. This includes barrel racing, reining and calf roping. A new event, registered cutting, is being added to this year's show. This is where a horse and rider go into a ring and cuts a particular animal out of a group. When the calf or cow is removed the following moves are made by the horse as the rider drops the reins. The quarter horse had its beginning as a race horse, In the 350 years since his origin, and while subjected to ranch and farm work, he retained his ability to dust the noses of horses of any other breed from a standing start up to the 440 yard marker or a quarter of a mile, thus establishing the name. The quarter horse breed originated during the colonial era in the Carolinas and Virginia. At that time match racing was the leading outdoor sport with races run on village streets and along country lanes near the plantations. The foundation of these quarter running horses came from the Arab and Turk breed brought to North America by Spanish explorers and traders. Stallions selected from these first arrivals were crossed with a band of mares which arrived from England in 1620. The cross produces compact, heavily-muscled horses which could run a short dis- tance faster than those of any other breed. As of last year, there were 4,627 quarter horses registered in Canada with Ontario having more than 1,000, the second highest total in the Dominion. Quarter horses are owned in every coun- try of the world, except Russia. The Ontario Quarter Horse Association has one of the largest following of youth activity classes in Canada. The inclusion of youth activities is a must and will be one of the features of the upcoming Exe- ter show at the Saddle Club grounds, 21/2 miles west on Huron Street. VARIOUS PROJECTS Nearly every means of transportation is be- ing used to get people from coast to coast in Canada as a centennial project. The latest jaunt from Vancouver to Montreal that has come to light is that of 21-year-old Robin Price of Vancouver. The young westerner left Van- couver on Good Friday on roller skates and expects to arrive at Expo about the middle of June. Price, who says he covers 75 to 80 miles per day, was treated by a Terrace Bay, Ontario doctor for a pulled muscle. After treatment he was advised he could avoid further injuries of this type by get- ting more exercise. NHL STATISTICS AVAILABLE The word is out once again that the National Hockey league is offering its year-end statistical card to any hockey fan who is interested. The booklet in- cludes the final official statistics for both the regu- lar season and playoffs for 1966-67. These handy bulletins are offered free of charge by the NHL. All the fan has to do is write to the Publicity D e p a r t m en t, National Hockey League, 922 Sun Life Building, Montreal 2. RECREATION TIPS Received some safety tips in the mail this week from the Ontario Safety League. One of the most important suggestions concerned the wearing of life jackets by boating enthusiasts. The bulletin recommends that life jackets be of the approved type and in good condition. The last line of the comminique is the most important. WEAR THEM, the best life jacket in the world won't save your life lying in the bottom of the boat. FROM OVER 'OME What started out to be a centennial sports project for the City of Stratford could quickly be- come a Western Ontario affair. A high school soccer club from Stratford-on- the-Avon in England is making a five-week visit to the Festival city. The old country boys, 14 in num- ber in addition to a manager, are scheduled to ar- rive at Malton Airport, June 28 and will be extended a civic welcome the following day by Stratford's mayor C. H. "Dutch" Meier. On the July 1st holiday they will be a part of the Centennoree Week parade along with Strat- ford minor soccer players and July 2 will play their first Canadian test against the Stratford Legion Ban- tams. One of the side trips to neighboring commu- nities will be on July 14 when the visiting young- sters, all 16 and under from Hugh Clopton High School, will 'be -performing under newly installed floodlights in Strathroy.
