At the EXETER ARENA (Hawks gain first point Shop of Home in jun ior hockey play EVERYONE BENEFITS Hail the champs The new edition of the Exeter Hawks competing in Bluewater junior hockey league action have been unable to pull out a victory but came real close in each of their three games to date. In their first start on Exeter ice Friday, the Hawks were un- able to overcome an early 3-0 deficit and were on the short end Captain Roger Williams, Larry Iran Danne and Jack Ridley fired the goals for Wallaceburg to give their club a 4-3 lead as the two teams headed for the second rest session, In the middle frame, the Exeter boys dreW five of the eight penalties called. The final frame again gave a slight edge in territorial play to the Hawks as they scored the only goal to ensure a tie and held a 12-7 advantage in shots on goal. Scott Burton blasted the fourth Exeter goal into the net at 17.54 to give the Hawks a tie and their first point of the new season. SLOW TO START The Hawks started slowly in their Friday contest on home ice and didn't really get rolling until the midway point of the second period. By this time the Petrolia boys had built up a three goal lead. Bob Webster and Bill Easter tallied for Petrolia in the first period and Ron Powell notched their third goal early in the second session. Defenceman Bill Bourne put the Hawks on the scoreboard near the middle of the second on a low drive from the blueline on a play started by Pete Law- son A fine display of stickhandling by Captain Larry Willert pro- duced the second Hawk goal at 10.24 of the second. Willert moved the puck all the way down the ice, was forced into the corn- er and fought his way back In front to fire a. high drive into the net on a sharp angle with the teams shorthanded playing four aside, Surprisingly enough, in a con- test where 25 penalties were called, none of the five geals came when the team had a man advantage. A good crowd of 542 fans were on hand to watch the opening game of the season.

On Wallaceburg ice Monday, the locals jumped into an early 3-1 lead, saw the hometown Sel- kirks fight back and take the lead but the Exeter boys were able to come up with a late third period goal to gain a 4-4 tie. In the first game of the new season a week earlier, the Hawks dropped a 5-4 decision to the Dresden Kings, again falling well behind in the early moments of the game. The Hawks will be back in action on the ice sheet at the Exeter arena Friday night when the Blenheim boys will be le town. The locals then hit the road for a couple of contests, travel- ling to Petrolia Sunday and to Blenheim Wednesday, SCORE QUICKLY It took the Hawks only 50 sec- onds to hit the score sheet in Wallaceburg Monday as centre Kevin McKinnon took apass from line-mate Bill Fa.irbairn to beat Dave Davis in the hometown nets. This was a complete reversal of form from the first two games of the Exeter club when they found themselves a couple of goals down in the first few min- utes of play. A few seconds past the halfway mark of the initial period George Hall scored on a solo effort to bring the Wallaceburg club back on even terms. The tie didn't last for long as the Hawks bounced right back and were holding another one goal lead before another minute of actual playing time had elapsed. Fairbairn was again respon- sible for starting the successful scoring play as he dug the puck out from behind the Wallaceburg net and flipped it back near the blue-line to defenceman Bill Bourne who blasted a long drive into the net. A neat three-way passing play at the 12.04 mark produced the third Exeter score and gave the Hawks a 3-1 lead. Grant Walker was on the triggering end of the successful pass pattern started by Pat McKeever and Bob Moir. The Hawks outshot the Wallace- burg club 15-9 in the first period that was well played with only two penalties being called, both against the home team. In the second period the story was completely different as Wal- laceburg scored three times without a reply from the Hawks and held a good margin in shots on goal 20-9.

EXETER, ONTARIO Winning a championship in any sport is quite a thrill but when it comes after eleven years of wait- ing it can be a little more exciting. The South Huron Panthers wrote a new page into the school's history last Tuesday afternoon when they won the Huron-Perth senior football conference title with a convincing 16.7 win over Wingham. Although records beyond 1952 are not com- plete, it is assumed that Ron Bogart's Panthers of this year are the first South Huron senior football club to go through an entire season without suffering a loss or being tied. Glenn Mickle's club of 1956 came pretty close to achieving a perfect season as their only loss came by a 13-7 count to the Leamington Lions in the Wossa "A" final at London. The Panthers of that year pulled a major upset in the playoffs, upsetting a favored Woodstock eleven by a score of 35-8. The 1967 champions turned in an impres- sive record in winning 10 straight contests in regular season and 'exhibition play. In summing up the suc- cessful year, coach Bogart said it was a tremendous team effort that enabled them to win. "In the last two or three years we have had clubs with as much or more potential as this year's team but didn't have the desire to win. Everyone of the 31 boys on the club displayed a tremendous will to win and this enabled us to go through the season undefeated," added the happy South Huron football mentor. While praising the entire team, Bogart did mention the outstanding defensive unit that kept the opposition at bay on the very few occasions when the offensive side faltered a bit. This is certainly verified in the year's sta- tistics as the Panthers scored a total of 210 points while only giving up 37 to their opposition. On the ground the Panther attack was power- ful as they rolled up a total of 1,546 yards in the 10 games while the opposition could gain only 372 through the tough Exeter forward wall. The Panther backfield was led in the running department by Jim Hayter and Bud Desjardine. Hay- ter, in his first year as a senior, led the team in scor- ing accumulating a total of 77 points on 10 touch- downs, an even dozen converts, a field goal and two single points. The versatile Dashwood youngster carried the ball 84 times and gained 517 yards for an average of 6.2 yards per carry. One of the several Grand Bend boys on the Panther club, Bud Desjardine, was second in the scoring department and led the team in the number of times he carried the ball, total yards gained and the highest average per run. Last year's quarterback, Desjardine was moved to a halfback position and piled up 748 yards in 97 carries for an average of 7.7 yards each time he car- ried the pigskin. Eight touchdowns gave the GB native a total of 48 points and the runner-up to Hayter in the over- all team points department. Desjardine and Hayter also led the Panthers in running the ball back on kick-offs with respective return totals of 185 and 104 yards. Scott Burton, who directed the Panther offen- sive formation from his quarterback position, was next in line in scoring and in yardage gained. The QB scored three majors and kicked seven single points as the club's top booter for 25 points and lug- ged the ball 44 times for 181 yards. Through 'the air, the Panthers were not quite as successful as on the ground picking up a total of 591 yards by way of passing. Burton tossed 81 aerials and completed 32 of them. Ends Kevin McKinnon and Bill Bourne and backs Bill Farquhar and Bill Fair- bairn were the prime pass catchers. Farquhar and Bourne each gained a total of 167 yards on passes from Burton with the former picking up the longest passing gain of the season on a 63-yard play that went for a touchdown in the first league game of the season won by the Panthers over Mitchell 10-6. McKinnon caught 10 tosses good for 118 yards and Bourne gained an even 100 yards on eight re- ceptions. Another end, Leo Desjardine nabbed a 30- yard toss in a 25-0 romp over Stratford Central. The alertness of the 1967 Panther club shows up in the statistics relating to fumbles. The Panthers ball carriers lost the handle on the ball 15 times but a teammate was able to come up with the loose ball on six occasions. The opposition teams over the sea- son fumbled the ball 18 times with the alert Panthers recovering 16 times. DEFENSE ALWAYS TOUGH While it is difficult to come up with individ- ual statistics to show the worth of a defensive team, the overall yardage given up in the 10 games played speaks for itself. In two of the games, against. St. Marys and Clinton, the Panther line held the opposition to a minus yardage and only in the final playoff contest against Wingham did they give up more than 100 yards. The mainstays in the line in addition to the "two giants", Danny Shodbottom and Brad Hamilton, were John Pryde, Martin Manley, R088 Huff, John Godbolt, Bill Huxtable, °like Nagel, Peter Kok, Dunc Etherington, Lawrence Brown, Al Lanier and Ron Durand. Other backfielders on the club in addition to those already mentioned were Chuck Snider, Len Rimmer, Mike Hoy, Gard Greenwood, Bev Bonthron, .Lewis Mitchell, Ron Grasdahl, Dave rrayne, Kevin Lamport and Barry Clarke. The 31-man club along with coach Ron Bogart and student managers Jim Hoffman and Gary Ginge- rich and statistician Barry Baynham are travelling to Detroit Thursday to watch the Detroit Lions in their annual Thanksgiving Day game against the Los An- geles Rams. While the Panthers won the title due to a lot of desire, a great deal of credit should go to coach Bogart who has handled the senior club the last four years. As a goodly number of the Panthers are up from last year's junior club, they gained their basic football fundamentals from junior mentor Glenn Mickle. We would like to send our personal congratu- lations along to Ron Bogart and every member of the Panther club •
