I -1....„•• Prom 235.0833 Re sidonte 228.6967 In addition to their regular weekly play, members of the Exeter ladies curling club took time out last week to participate in a club bonspiel at the local rink, Wednesday. Ellen Knight, skipped her rink of Helen Webber, Janie McDowell and Marion Frayne to first place while Helen Mickle guided her foursome into the runner-uppos- ition. Other members of the sec- ond place finishers were. Kay Hodgert, Lorraine Alexander and Hazel Westcott. In third place came Lee Dobbs' rink comprising Daisy Ethering- ton, Val Gould and Kay Cann while the consolation award went to a quartet skipped by Edna Busche with Melva Ecker, Marg McBride and Jean Dion as the other members, One rink in each of the Tues- day and Wednesday groups of the ladies first draw continued their undefeated streak while two games were postponed in the Thursday section. Barb Bell and Pauline Simmons won their third straight contest to remain at the top of their respective divisions. Last week's scores were: B. Bell 7 - T. Payne 3 E. Busche 4 - H. Frayne 4 M.

Marshall 6 Plenty of goals in Rec hockey The emphasis was certainly on defence as the Exeter and dist- rict rec hockey league opened at the arena, with a doubleheader, Thursday. In the first contest, the Bank Boys ran roughshod over the Old Timers by a count of 12-2 and the defending champion Crediton Tigers maintained the same scor- ing pace by dumping Graham and Graham 13-6 in the nightcap. The play-for-fun boys con- tinue their weekly action tonight, Thursday, with the Bankers meeting G & G at eight o'clock and the Old Timers tackling Creditors at 9:30. JONES NETS FOUR In the opening game, Bob Jones was in mid-season form as he fired four of the goals for the Bank Boys. Grant Volland was close behind with a hat trick per- formance to his credit while Lloyd Moore notched a pair. Roy Sims, Chuck Becker and Bill Hey- wood bagged single goals to com- plete the Bankers scoring parade. Playing coach Fred Wells took care of the Old Timer scoring getting both goals. MORE HIGH SCORERS The second game again pro- duced some prolific scoring from both teams, Doug McBride con- nected four times to account for most of the Graham and Graham markers in their 13-6 loss to Crediton. The other two losing team goals were scored by Jim McDonald. For the winning Crediton Tig- ers, playing coach Bob Galloway led the way with a similar four goal effort. Roy Smith and Stan Lovie chipped in with two goals each while singles were added by Fred Lamb, Glen Overholt, Eric Finkbeiner, Jim Morrissey and Jim Pfaff.

EARLY DEFICIT Irl the '7-5 loss to Blenheim Friday, the Hawks were on the wrong end of a 3-0 score by the time the first period ended and although they rallied to tie the score at 4-4 in the second were not able to hang on in the third stanza.

In their fifth start of the seas- on in Petrolia Sunday night, the Hawks scored four times in the third period to down the Jets of Petrone 10-6, It was a reversal of form from the first Hawks encounter of the season in Exeter when the Petrona boys came up with a one-goal win. On home ice, Friday, the local juniors were on the wrong end of a 7-5 count to the Blenheim Blades. The Hawks take on the Zurich intermediates in an ex- hibition contest in Zurich Fri- day as part of the re-opening festivities of the village's arena, Terry Bourne's club will get a rest from regular junior play un- til December 7 when they travel to Point Edward and the following night when they play host to the new club from 'Wallaceburg. HAT TRICKS LEAD The first hat tricks of the year helped the Hawks to their initial league win in Petrone, Sunday, Hard working Larry Laye and as- sistant captain Scott Burton each fired three goals past Rod Parker in the Petrolia nets and also pick- ed up one assist during the free skating 10-6 Exeter win. The score see-sawed back and forth for the first two periods with the Hawks leading 6-5 at the end of the second period of play. The locals broke the game wide open with three goals in a space of 24 seconds in the second min- ute of action in the third period. Bill Fairbairn, Bill Bourne and Burton shot single goals in the first twenty minutes of play while Bill Easter and Roy Brush re- plied for the Petrolia club. The two teams traded three goal efforts in the middle frame to give the Hawks a one goal edge at the time. Burton notched his second of the game, Laye picked up his first and Kevin McKinnon scored once to account for the Hawks second period tallying. Ted McAhill fired two and Easter notched a single for the Jets. The third period was only a minute and seven seconds old when Scott Burton completed his hat trick performance with a shot from the point. This quick goal spurred the Hawks on and before the Petrolia defenders knew what happened Larry Laye and McKinnon had each put the puck into the net to put the Exeter club in front 9-5. Laye hit the mark again at 5,07 to round out his trio of scores and Tom McInnes com- pleted the Petrolia scoring at 16.04.

Installation of artificial ice at the Babe Sie- bert Memorial Arena and Zurich Community Centre was completed late last week as the village's centen- nial project, The official re-opening and dedication of the building will be held tomorrow night, Friday, with a full evening of activities lined up. Two hockey games will be the feature of the night with the Zurich Flyers and the Lucan Irish six meeting in an Old Timers' contest and the Exeter junior Hawks taking on the current Zurich inter- mediate hockey club. The Zurich arena was first opened with nat- ural ice on the evening of January 20, 1950 when the hometown Flyers thumped Granton 124. Mrs. Babe Siebert and Jack Adams, then manager of the De- troit Red Wings, were in attendance to officially open the new rink. The cost of construction more than 17 years ago was about $50,000. The installation of artificial ice cost in the neighborhood of $75,000. The village of Zurich is issuing debentures in the amount of $50,000, the Zurich Lions club have tossed in $5,000 and the bal- ance will be taken care of by centennial and provin- cial grants and public subscriptions. The Old Timers' game will be of particular in- terest to hockey fans in the area who remember well the days when the Zurich arena was packed to the roof for Cyclone and WOAA games. Both Zurich and Lucan officials are attempt- ing to bring back many of the stars of the 1950's, many of them from distant points in Canada and the United States. Harold "Gib" Stade will be the playing coach for the Zurich Flyers. One of the Zurich favorites of the "good old days", Benny Gignac, is making the jaunt from Quebec City to appear in the exhibition tilt. Others from a distance expected to appear are Junior Barash and Joe Maisonville. A goodly number of the Zurich six of more than ten years ago still reside in the area. Among these are Don and Doug OBrien, Glenn Weido, Karl Decker, Don Hesse, Jim Hayter and Huron's MP Bob McKinley. Also expected to appear in the line- up are Bill Merner and Gord Baird. Down in Irish territory, Bill Smith has been hard at work on the telegraph and telephone lines and expects to have more than 20 of his old club in uniform. Coming the farthest distance will be Doug Hindmarsh from Illinois, Fred Revingtort from De- troit and Ross McTavish, now a brain surgeon in Toronto. Some of the Irish still living close at hand are Jim Freeman, Jake Barnes, Bill and Art Hod- gins, Norm and Jack Hardy, Ross McRoberts, Ivan Hearn, Herb Stretton, Jack Elson, Steve Storey, Ron Stevenson, Ray Yelle, Don McAlpine, Bob Gallagher and Bob Riddell. Former arena manager Len Gau- dette recently returned to Gait after a sojourn as manager of a new arena in Philadelphia and is ex- pected to be in uniform. Smith is also trying to contact Ed Rowette who was a member of the 1953 championship club. Mr. Hockey of Lucan, Harvey Langford, has dug out his championship jacket and will be near the Lucan bench. It might be a good idea if Harvey brought along a good supply of liniment as some of his for- mer stars have been away from active play for quite a few years. The second game of the night will also be in- teresting as it pits the Exeter junior Hawks against the Zurich intermediates. On the Zurich club are several former stars with the Hawks and the good Hensall-Zurich club of a few years ago. HAWKS FACE TOUGH TEST Last year's Exeter coach, Earl Wagner and captain Craig Chapman, will be in the line-up to show their farmer mates how it should be done along with another top junior performer Bob John- ston. Others on the Zurich roster are baseball stars George Haggitt and Dick Bedard along with fellows like Bob Merner, George Suplat, Barry Bloch, Jim Pfaff, Bill and Bob Hoffman and Rick Jeffrey. The gala evening opens with a banquet at 6:30 but all tickets have been sold for the event. At 7:30 a figure skating show will be provided by Ron Schaeffer of Galt, one of the top male skaters in Ontario, and Pauline and Troyanne Bell of Hen- sail. At 8 o'clock the Old Timers hit the ice for a half hour session. For most of them it will probably seem a lot longer than that. The official ceremonies will take place at 8:30 with Bob McKinley quickly shedding his skates to help Provincial Treasurer C. S. MacNaughton, Peter Large of the Centennial Com- mission and Bob Daivdson of the Toronto Maple Leafs re-open and dedicate the building and artifi- cial ice plant. The exhibition game between Exeter and Zur- ich should get underway shortly before 9 o'clock and wind up a full evening of interesting entertainment. Flooding operations were started at the Zurich rink Sunday under the guidance of arena manager Jack Turkheim and skating was expected to start early in the week. CURLERS GET BUSY Activities have been planned that will keep the ice sheet busy every night •of the week and some afternoons. A newly formed Zurich curling' club has the ice reserved each Monday night from 7 to 11, Close to 50 people in the area have already indicated they wish to curl this winter and there is still room for 25 more. Anyone wishing to join should contact the club president Vincent Doyle at RR 1 Dashwood or other members of the executive that include Ed Gascho, Ruth Flaxbard, Joe Hunt, Ray McKinnon, Milford Doerr and Betty Oke. Six minor hockey clubs have been formed and Wednesday has been set aside for most of their home games with Tuesdays taking care of the balance. A Bet hockey league composed of two Zur, ich clubs and one each from Dashwood and Hensall will see regular action on Thursday nights. Friday nights will have the Zurich intermediate club per. forming in WOAA play against clubs from Crediton, Menkton, Blyth and St. Clements. 0 wee Crediton, John and Matthew, ac- counted for the Penguin goal scor- ing. The Bruins, with goalie Laurie Skinner earning a shutout, de- feated the Rangers 2-0. Brad Roelofson and Brian Horrell each scored a goal for the Bruins. Games this Saturday; 8-9 Seals vs Panthers 9-10 Penguins vs Kings 10-11 Rangers vs Bruins 11-12 Squirts and Mites 4-5 Montreal vs Chicago If enough players are interest- ed in playing midget house league, a group can be formed with game time either at 8 on Tuesdays or at 7 on Thursdays. So far the re- sponse in this age group has been very poor. I am sure there are enough boys in the Exeter area from 15 to 18 years of age to form such a league. Phone the arena 235- 2833 and leave your name or bet- ter still come in to see me or contact Vie Fulcher at the high school. Starting this Saturday and for the next four weeks there will be free skating at the arena from 2 to 4. These skating sessions are sponsored by the E x et e r Board of Trade. Announcing 11) our annual special VO() OFF SALE Enthusiasm and rivalry, two of the main ingredients for success- ful hockey, are running high in our pee wee house league games being played Saturday mornings. It appears a few players may still have to be moved to other teams to bring about a better balance in the league. After one month of play the Kings are out in front with seven points, the Seals are in second with four while the Panthers and Penguins bring up the rear with respective point totals of three and two. The Penguins have been out- lucked more than outplayed and with a few more breaks can move higher in the standings. The Kings, in a hard fought game all the way, managed to hang on and eke out a 2-1 victory over the Seals in Saturday's ac- tion. Les Page and Bryan Tuckey shared the goal scoring for the winners while Paul Robinson notched the lone Seals tally. The Panthers and Penguins game was very exciting with the Panthers winning 4-2, Brian Tay- lor, up from the novice ranks, scored his first hat trick in pee wee action to lead the Panther attack. The other goal was scored by Tony MacDonald in the final moments of the game, The Muller brother s from ON ANY 111 0 SWEATER OR SPORT SHIRT IN THE STORE OPEN PUBLIC SKATING SATURDAYS 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. 8:00 to 10:00 park SUNDAYS 2100 to 4;00 p.m. At EXETER ARENA SPECIAL DISCOUNTS ON also: WINTER JACKETS & TOPCOATS 0 0 0 235.0991 I r1rii------101=MaP 114- P44.€0 Ci, ¢r.
