Hawks came on to score four times, three of the scores corn- ing in the last period, With less than three minutes left in the game the visitors found the scoring range again and were able to go home with a single point for their night's work. Jack Ridley, Lynn poissant and Larry Vanclamine scored the early goals for Wallaceburg. Jim Hayter put the Hawks on the scoreboard for the first time at 10.50 of the second period and be came back to score again in Exeter Hawks improved their season record in Bloewater junior hockey play over the past we ek as they came up with a win and a tie in their last three outings. On home ice Tuesday night, the Hawks came up with a solid team effort in downing the strong Dresden Kings 6-3. Also at the Exeter arena, Friday the Hawks gained a 4-4 tie with the Wallace- burg Selkirks, The only loss of the week came at the hands of the Point Edward Eedmen by a 3-2 count in the border town, Thursday night, The schedule for the next week again favours the local juniors as they play host to the Belmont Hatters at the Exeter arena Fri- day at 8:30 and also entertainthe high flying Alvinston Indians Tuesday night, Two more wins for minor teams Exeter minor hockey clubs participating in the weekly Sham- rock tripleheader at the arena, Wednesday were only able to come up with three points for their night's work. In the first game of the three, the local pee wees failed to hit the score sheet anq were snowed under by Stoneybrook 10-0. The bantams, playing in the second contest of the night, re- corded the only Exeter win by a 2-0 count over a club from the same London suburb. Pete Glover and Brad Klumpp scored in single fashion to account for the Exeter tallying. In the windup midget contest, the Stoneybrook competitors were again successful by a score of 5-2, Scoring for Exeter were Denton Geiser and Randy Pars- ons. FALL ONE SHORT For the third time this year the Hawks lost by only one goal, 3-2 in Point Edward, Thursday. Tile home club broke in front early in the first period on a goal by Randy Campbell only to have Exeter's captain Larry Wil- lert score an unassisted goal at 14,05 of the second period to knot the count. This was the closest the Hawks were able to come to the home club as Randy Mair and Mel Withrowe scored late in the sec- one stanza to up the Point Ed- ward lead 3-1, Grant Walker scored the final Hawk counter at 4.15 of the last period and although the Exeter. ites carried the majority of the play in the last few minutes they were unable to tie the score. Whether we like to admit it or not, the year 1967 is quickly coming to a close. As this is the sec- ond last issue of the T-A for this year we would like to reminisce a bit about Centennial year and sports happenings in particular. This year, in which all Canadians joined in on our country's 100th birthday celebrations, will long be remembered. This area was probably as centen- nial conscious as any community in the whole Domin- ion. Every organization in Exeter and district spon- sored some special activitiy with a centennial flavor with some special attraction going on almost every week. The co-operation was wonderful, not only from the sponsoring bodies, but from all the people who attended the many functions. As far as the town of Exeter is concerned, two of the biggest attractions were the July 1 gigan- tic celebration and Funday that was held on August 18. The Dominion Day parade was the best and longest ever held in the town and sporting events helped to add to the success of the day. The most interesting and humorous event of the day was the canoe jousting meet held in the river. Some of the contestants may say that we "are all wet" when suggesting the event was humorous. Most of the entrants that came from every male or- ganization in Exeter did get wet as the canoes seemed to be just as happy being upside down as right side up. A crowd of more than 6,000 attended the eve- ning softball game and closing fireworks display that was the best ever shown here. On Funday, the merchants had a good time in displaying their merchandise out on the street and the hundreds of kids enjoyed many unusual games and contests, Most of the boys had as much fun in searching the nearby creeks and rivers for frogs and turtles as they did in the actual frog jumping con- test and turtle races. One attraction of the July 1 festivities we al- most forgot about was the beard growing contest as our beard was shaved off the same night. Thanks to the generosity of Exeter's citizen of the year, Ted Pooley, we are now enjoying potatoes at every meal, When the judges had a bit of trouble picking out a winner in our particular class, Ted offered a bag of potatoes as second prize. This didn't completely solve the problem as two were still in the race after the first prize had been disposed of. Consequently, Terry McCauley and yours truly each received 50 pounds of spuds. They came close In Friday's 4-4 tie with Wallaceburg at the local arena, the Exeter Hawks had a good share of the play and missed a lot of scoring chances. Above, Rick MacDonald at the left is battling for the puck while Bob Moir (6) is waiting for a rebound that didn't come. T-A photo Crediton wins third game in WOAA district grouping Crediton Tigers continued their winning ways in WOAA intermediate "D" play with a double win over the Zurich Flyers during the past week. On Zurich ice Friday, the Ti- gers were victorious by a 7-3 count and in a return game at the Exeter arena, Sunday, were on the right side of a 13-9score. The undefeated Crediton six will be idle until next Sunday night when they tangle with St. Clements in an 8.30 contest at the Exeter arena, In the 13-8 win on Exeter ice, the Tigers broke the game open with six goals in the second period after the two clubs had 11111111111111111111111IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII11111111111111111111111IIIIIIIIIII111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111IIIIIIi = = = 11 ff = SQUIRTS WIN AGAIN The Exeter squirts scored a decisive 7-3 win over Strathroy in Lucan Saturday for their fourth win of the season to go with a loss and a tie in six starts. Brian Taylor led the local scor- ing attack with a three goal ef- fort, while John Gould found the scoring range twice and Wes Rhude and Brian Penhale added singles. The local club has been enter- ed in a holiday week tourney in London and will be playing their first game at the Oakridge arena, December 27 at 10 a.m. All play- ers are asked to bring their birth certificates to Friday's practice session to ensure their eligibility for the London tournament. FIRST HOME RUN Tuesday's 6.0 win over Dres- den was the first time the Hawks had been able to gain a decision on their home ice this season. Right winger Jim Hayter con- verted passes from the defence combination of Bill Bourne and Larry Willert at 1.54of the initial period and the Hawks were off and running and were never headed, Scott Burton, who has been moved to centre ice from his defence post of last year, put the locals two goals up at 11.56 on a play set up by Hayter. Dresden's Gary Webster found a flaw in the Exeter defences and scored his team's only goal of the first season near the 14 minute mark, The Exeter boys dominated play in the second period and scored the only two goals. Pete Lawson scored the first on an unassisted effort and aided Larry Laye on the other successful Hawk scoring play of the second twenty minutes of play. The two clubs divided four goals evenly in the closing ses- sion, Burton with his second of the game and Kevin McKinnon with a single were the Exeter goal getters while Clark Wool- man and Gary Hamilton replied for the Kings. TAKE TURNS In the 4-4 draw on Exeter ice Friday, the two clubs took turns going on scoring sprees. T h e visiting Wallaceburg boys scored the first three goals of the game, then seemed to sit back as the successful shots to tie the game at 4-4. In the second, Roy Smith put the Tigers in front to stay at 1.38 and in the next seven min- utes Dennis Morrissey had scored twice and Fred Lamb once to up their team's lead to 8-4. Wagner hit the net for the second time and Bob Merner scord once to complete the Zurich scoring total in the sec- ond period while Pat McKeever replied for Crediton. In the closing stanza, Dennis Morrissey potted a pair of goals to increase his game total to four while Fred Lamb and Gerald McBride added singles to put the Crediton goal total to 13. Craig Chapman, Bill Hoffman and Bob Merner were the Zurich marks- men in the final twenty minutes of play. finished the first session on even terms at 4-4. Earl Wagner, who gained a hat trick in a losing cause for Zurich, wasted little time in getting his team on the score sheet as he scored after only 22 seconds of play. Less than two minutes later Crediton were in front 2-1 on goals by Jim Morrissey and Gord Vincent, The Tiger lead in- creased to four goals by the 12.13 mark of the first as Mor- rissey picked up his second goal of the game and Fred Lamb added his first. Before the period ended Wag- ner scored another goal for Zur- ich and Bill Hoffman fired two BLUE WATER JUNIOR HOCKEY FRI., DEC. 15 EXETER vs. BELMONT TUES., DEC. 19 EXETER vs. ALVINSTON STARTING TIMES 8:30 P.M.

Dr. Don Ecker, Dr. Wally Read, Dalton Fink- beiner, John Burke and others of the Exeter Saddle club spearheaded the idea to move the rodeo facili- ties to the central location in town. The committee formed early in the year that was responsible for all of the rodeo operations con- tained members from every organization in town with Dick Roelofson as chairman. Backers of the rodeo idea spent many hours in constructing the new facilities and also in moving and constructing a new ball diamond. They showed plenty of faith in their idea and we're sure they were well rewarded when over 6,000 persons attended the rodeo on Labour Day weekend Everyone connected with the rodeo deserves a lot of credit for the hard work put forth and per- severance in overcoming many difficulties encount- ered along the way. JUNIORS PROVIDED TOP THRILLS On the local winter sports scene, the excel- lent showing of the Exeter Hawks in reaching the OHA Junior "C" semi-finals before bowing out to the eventual champs from New Hamburg was the top sport story. A new and much younger edition of the Hawks is currently campaigning in the new Blue- water junior grouping, and despite a slow start, show plenty of promise. Although they have only been able to win one game and tie a pair of others in eight starts, the young Hawks have been displaying a never-give-up attitude and only Friday night came from behind a three-goal deficit to gain a tie with Wallaceburg. High on the list of sport accomplishments for the year 1967 is the banner football year turned in by the senior football club at South Huron District High School. The Panthers, coached by Ron Bogart, went through the entire season undefeated to win the Huron - Perth senior football championship. This marked the first time a South Huron club had man- aged to remain unbeaten as they rang up 10 consecu- tive wins. Still on the high school beat, no less than 11 local school records were broken at the annual track and field meet. At various times during the year all high and public school students in the area partici- pated in numerous events in a Centennial physical fitness program. The enthusiastic curlers at the Exeter curling club enjoyed a good 1966-67 season and have em- barked again on this year's activities. Last year's curling scene locally was dominat- ed by King McDonald and Helen Burton who each skipped their entries to two club draw champion- ships, In addition, each added a title in bonspiels held out of town. McDonald led his foursome to a victory in Goderich and Burton skipped her mates to the top in a Clinton bonspiel, On the five pin bowling front in Exeter the big news was the installation of automatic pin setters at Aub Farquhar's Bowling Lanes. The Itchy Six, an Exeter entry, won the men's Intertown bowling cham- pionship against stiff opposition from Stratford, St. Marys and Mitchell, Ruth Durand continued to head up a busy minor bowling program and one of the junior girls' teams were successful in winning the Lake Huron Zone title. Members of the winning squad were Lynne Farquhar, Trudy Stagg, Cathy Iloltzmann, Launa Fuller and Brenda Brintnell. PEE WEE BOYS & GIRLS ZE (C. Triebner 100) 335 LI (S. Boltzmann 107) 293 BE (D.
