Close to 1,000 fans cheered loudly as the players of both clubs were introduced as they hit the ice surface, some of them for the first time in quite Probably for the first time in history, hockey players wearing the green sweaters of the Lucan Irish received an ovation as they skated onto the ice at the Zurich arena, Memories of long standing riv- alries were rekindled Friday night as the Lucan and Zurich a few years. Most of the first strides down the ice were taken quite cautiously. It didn't take long to bring the old rivalry back to a fever pitch as the Lucan club lodged a, pro- test before the game started.

The Irish six wasted little time in showing the fans they had lost little of the prowess they showed more than 10 years ago by jumping into a quick three goal lead. With a three goal advantage, Gaudette informed the arena an- nouncer that the protest would be withdrawn and at the same time issued an invitation for a return game in Lucan in about a month. The Lucan squad won the game 10-4, but the fans enjoyed see- ing their old favorites in action didn't care much about the out- come of the contest. Gaudette, who now resides in Galt must have had some advance notice of the game as he appeared to be in top notch shape and was the scoring star of the game. lie scored twice in the first period, one goal coming on a solo dash when he leaped over the sticks of the Zurich defence- man and beat Bill Merner in the nets. Other Lucan goals fired in single fashion in the first frame came from the sticks of Ray Yelle, ROSS McTavish, RonStev- enson and Ross McRoberts. .Don O'Brien scored the only Zurich marker of the first period as he beat Jake Barnes on a low, hard shot from near the blueline. Don Hesse and Danny Colqu- houn scored quickly in the early minutes of the second period and it looked as if the fans were in for one of the famous Zurich comebacks, The change of ice by Genera Electric CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 3 ONE ONLY Crediton Tigers win first in WOAA hockey grouping In sports circles a much used phrase is "a good offence is your best defence." This is certainly not the case with this year's Grey Cup champion Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Ticats' play, especially in their last six games, would reverse to read "a good defence is your best offence." Ralph Sazio's Hamilton club did not allow a touchdown in their last half dozen starts and gave up a single point in Saturday's Canadian football classic only because of a Saskatchewan quick kick that caught the Hamilton defenders off guard and took a long bounce on the frozen turf. One of the stars of the Hamilton defensive corps was a former Exeter resident, Ted Page. The 25-year-old defensive back of the Ticats nailed Re- gina quarterback Ron Lancaster for large losses on at least two occasions and also stopped George Reed up the middle a couple of times. On a post game show on a Hamilton radio sta- tion, former football star Bobby Kuntz singled out Page and Willie Bethea as two of the top Hamilton stars. Oddly enough, Bethea, who did a lot of the Ti- cat running and pass catching, was praised by Kuntz for his effective blocking. The fine performance by Ted Page on Satur- day would certainly indicate that he has quite a few years left in Canadian football circles. We talked to Ted before the season started and he indicated if he did not have a real good year he may consider retirement due to the fact he is graduating from university in June and would be ready to teach high school. We're quite sure Jake Gadaur, Ralph Sazio and company will have plently to say about Ted com- ing back to the Hamilton roster next year. Joe Zuger, Hamilton's signal caller, emerged as the outstanding performer in Saturday's game al- though Page and several other Ticat defensive stars were close behind in the vote taken by sportswriters and sportscasters. During his seven years in Hamilton, Zuger has been the object of a lot of criticism from the fans. This has changed, at least, for awhile. After the game someone suggested to Zuger that he may be a hero in Hamilton and he replied, "I'll be a hero until the first game next year." Ottawa had its first Grey Cup in 28 years on Saturday and it could be the last for awhile because of the behaviour of the crowd. There were repeated invasions of the field, mostly by juveniles trying to steal the football, and even before the final whistle was blown thousands of spectators invaded the field and it's a wonder that nobody was trampled in the melee. Commenting on the efforts of the Ottawa po- lice force to hold back the invaders, Hamilton's presi- dent Jake Gadaur said, "Their field control was ab- solutely pitiful." While Zuger and his defensive mates of the Tiger-Cats get most of the glory for the Grey Cup win we shouldn't forget Ralph Sazio and the balance of his coaching staff. They started out in the summer with a club that included more than a dozen players who were not with the team a year ago and moulded them into championship calibre. We watched the Hamilton gridders in their annual int-la-squad game in London several weeks before the season opened and their performance left plenty to be desired. So this is a spot for the old adage, "practice makes perfect" and any Saskatch- ewan fans will testify to the Ticats' performance on Saturday as being almost letter perfect. LOOKING FOR COVER Saturday's Grey Cup game, which was played in very cold temperatures, has brought on some hot speculation about the future of professional sport in Canada. Canadian football officials, keenly aware of the necessity of bringing the Grey Cup in out of the sleet, the snow and the rain that threatens it annually, are looking wih some hope toward a closed park in Montreal or Toronto. There has been so much idle speculation con- cerning a domed stadium that realistic professionals hesitate to participate. They're probably embarrassed by the talk of a few years ago that Montreal could build a covered stadiumO for less that $10 million. Montreal is still toying with the idea of a domed stadium, but this time there is a difference. Mayor Jean Drapeau is the man who is taking a hard look at the idea. Expo taught promoters everywhere not to underrate Drapeau. The city of Montreal is also in the race for obtaining the 1976 Olympics along with Metro Tor- onto, Drapeau made a favorable impression when he tried for the 1972 games that will be played in Mu- nich. Since then, he has gained considerable stature abroad, A little bit of irony enters into the Olympic situation. The very reason for Drapeau's increased fame — Expo — practically eliminates him from the Olympic picture. Without a big handout from the federal gov- ernment, any Montreal bid would be useless. The province of Ontario is very aware of the millions of dollars that Ottawa poured into Expo and is not like- ly to sit back and let Montreal get further federal aid to finance the Olympics. Toronto Metro chairman Bill Allen is this week beginning to prepare a master plan that will involve every phase of an Olympic complex includ- ing an 'all-purpose stadium. Football men, are of course, quietly jubilant over Allen's determination. A domed stadium would settle the site of the Grey Cup for probably a gen- eration. A dome would be heated in winter for events such as the Royal Winter Fair and in summer it could be air-conditioned for the lucrative convention busi- ness, pp Crediton Tigers made an aus- picious debut in WOAA inter- mediate ranks with a 5-3 win over Blyth at the Exeter arena, Sunday night, The Tigers, using the nucleus of the club that won the Rec league championship a year ago plus a couple of overage Exeter junior Hawks, appear to be able to hold their own in the Western Ontario grouping that includes Zurich, St. Clements, Monkton and Blyth.

XMAS SPECIAL PRICE -- 209 00 With Trade The first pee wee game in house league play Saturday was late in starting due to one of the goalies being a slow dresser. I won't mention any first names but his last name was Gregus. In the abbreviated 40 minute game that was played, some of the best play of the young season was displayed. The final score was 3-2 for the Panthers over the Seals. Except for sensational goal tending at both ends the score would have been much higher. Bob Willis was the top marks- man for the Panthers with two goals with Noel Skinner adding a single. Doug Fairbairn counted both scores for the losing Seals. In the second game of the morning, peter Wuerth scored twice to lead the Kings to a 3-0 win over the Penguins. Bryan Tuckey added the other marker in a wide open contest with both teams missing good scoring op-. portunities. Boston again took the measure of the Rangers in novice league play with a 2-1 win. Danny Mc- Iver and Howard Schenk scored for Boston with the lone Ranger 235-0505 RUSSELL ELECTRIC Exeter 44:44emwa:vrall*zs viir..,:koxis.v,ams,aoiiaomoksvpotal Crediton held a big edge in ter- ritorial play and only the sen- sational goal tending of Ken Daer in the Blyth nets kept the score down. Daer, a Clinton minor hockey product played with Stratford in OHA junior 4,13" company a year ago. The Tigers'scoring punch was headed by fast skating Fred Lamb who scored four times and could have scored quite a few more. In the last period alone Lamb hit the goal post on three separate occasions. Scoring was evenly divided in the fir s t period as each team scored twice. Lamb scored both first frame Crediton counters while Elmer Daer and Don Mc- Dougall were the Blyth snipers. Crediton dominated second period scoring as Lamb notched his third of the night at 2.40 and Gord Vincent checked in with a goal at 11.41. Blyth came within one of tying the count midway through the final session on a goal by Bob Henry. A few minutes later Lamb got his fourth of the game and what proved to be the insurance marker on a high backhand flip from a difficult angle to the side of the Blyth net. Following is a complete sched- ule of games involving the Credi- ton Tigers: tally being fired by Wally Fyden- chuck. In another close contest, Mon- treal downed Boston 4-3 in Satur- day afternoon Bantam action. Scott Litt, Dennis Ferguson and Philip Moore with two were the goal getters for Montreal. Scor- ing for Boston were Larry Bourne, John Krampp and Danny Calcott. Games this week: 8 - 9 Panthers vs Kings 9 - 10 Seals vs Penguins 10 - 11 Rangers vs Boston 11 - 12 Squirts vs Mites 4 - 5 Bantams There are 18 boys registered for the midget-juvenile house league and a few more are need- ed to make two teams.
