The Hawks completed their game scoring in the second frame as Hoy and Fairbairn each added their second of the night with Kevin McKinnon and Jim Hayter adding singles. In the second period, Burton earned two assists and Laye picked up his third of the game for a four point night, The lone shot to elude Jim Glavin in the Exeter nets was fired by George Mortensen to avoid a shut-out for the Bel- mont six. The Bluewater junior league All-Star game will be played in Dresden Boxing Day after- noon at 2 o'clock with the Des- den Kings, last year's league champs taking on the best of the JIM GLAVIN posts shut-out BILL FAIRBAIRN . scores four goals As this is the last edition of the T-A for this year, we would like to complete the summary of the 1967 local sports happenings that was started last week and also touch on the national scene. While the excellent showing by the Exeter Junior Hawks in the OHA playdowns was the high- light of the hockey scene, the entire local minor hockey program was successful. In minor ranks the numbers participating and the enthusiasm shown is just as important as produc- ing a winning club. This new hockey season has again produced a record number of youngsters taking part in the regular Saturday morning house league play at the arena. The 1966.67 edition of the Exeter midgets started the year off on the right foot by winning the London Centennial "A" tournament knocking off strong competition from Hamilton, Woodstock and Oakridge Acres. At the same time, the local bantams while not quite as successful on the score sheet, were awarded the best sportsmanship trophy at another London tourney. Later in the year the same club took "B" honours at the annual Lucan Shamrock bantam event. February was the big month for sports as far as Centennial year was concerned. RAP, the town body governing activities of recreation, arena and parks was given the chore of providing Centennial events for the second month of the year and they came up with a fine offer. The annual carnival of the Exeter figure skat- ing club was staged on February 11 and was a huge success with a full house in attendance to watch the colorful performance. A week later, all the clubs of the Exeter mi- nor hockey program were in action against their counterparts from Goderich and won most of the games in a program that lasted all afternoon and eve- ning. The weatherman, with one of several fits of temper during last winter, forced a one-week post- ponement of the old-fashioned costume carnival. The. event proved very popular to the many contestants who dressed in Centennial and other masquerade cos- tumes. The idea was originated by arena manager Alvin Willert and although it was designed especially for Centennial year is one that could be continued annually.

Bob Jones of the league leaders continues to head the scoring department with an even dozen goals to his credit to date. Ron Bogart and Fred Wells of the Old Timers are right behind with ten and nine goals, respectively. In tonight's weekly double- header, the Old Timers and Cred- iton meet at 8 o'clock while the Bank Boys and Graham and Graham tangle at 9:30. On De- cember 28, the Bank Boys and Crediton meet in an important game to open the night and G &G take on the Old Timers in the nightcap. MONDAY, Dec. 25 Arena closed all day PAIR SCORE FOUR Pete McFalls rapped in four goals to lead the Bankers to their 9-6 win over the veterans. Lloyd Moore was next in line with a pair of goals for his night's work and singles were added by Bill Heywood, John Varley and Bob Jones. If any members of the junior Hawks were in attendance, their coach Terry Bourne tried to show them how the game should be played as he scored four times for the Old Timers in the losing cause. The other scores for the los- ers were counted in single fash- ion by Ron Bogart and Casey plomp.

The next action for the Hawks is a return game in A1V1n$ton tonight, Thursday, and they are back at the Exeter arena Fri- day with Point Edward supply- ing the opposition, The latest spurt of the Hawks has moved them into a fourth place tie with the Point Edward club. Each team has ten points to its credit. The Dresden Kings lead the league with 15 points, while Blenheim and Alvinston follow with respective point totals of 14 and 12. The 9-0 Tuesday win over Alvinston was featured by the consistent backchecking of the Hawks and the solid goal tend- ing of Jim Glavin. The younger brother of last year's Hawk goalie Tom Glavin, Jim has allowed only one goal in two starts. Bill Fairbairn, one of three Hawks to score two goals each, wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard as he beat Keith McNeil in the Alvinston nets after only 27 seconds of play in the game. Scott Burton then took over in the scoring department and the youngster who was recently moved up to the forward line scored at 6:05 and 13:24 to up the Exeter lead to 3-0. Before the period ended Mike Hoy found the scoring range to add to the Hawks total. In the second session, Larry Willert blasted in a long shot from the blueline and Larry Laye finished off a neat passing effort with Bill Bourne to give the Hawks a 6-0 lead as the teams headed for their second rest period. Again in the third period, Fair- bairn wasted little time in get- ting going as he fired home his second successful shot of the " game at the .39 second mark. Before the game was com- pleted Laye was back with his second counter and Bill Bourne also scored on a play started by Burton. WEDNESDAY, Dec. 27 4-8 Figure Skating Tests 8-9 Crediton Young People ANOTHER EARLY START The Hawks have gotten into a habit of scoring early in their games and Friday night was no exception as Bill Fairbairn scor- ed within the first two minutes of play to send his team on the way to the 9-1 win over Belmont. Before the first twenty min- utes had elapsed, Larry Laye Mike Hoy, Peter Lawson and Scott Burton had followed with single tallies and the score was 5-0.

Thanks and Merry Christmas! SUNDAY, Dec. 31 2-4 Public Skating 8:30 Zurich vs Crediton Tigers * * One of the most popular hockey leagues in the area is the Exeter and district Rec loop which operates at the arena every Thursday night. These fellows play strictly for the fun they derive and pos- sibly the exercise as they pay for their own ice time. A good example that they do play for fun is one goalie in the league who allowed 17 goals in one game not long ago and was right back the next week raring to go. The Crediton Tigers won the Rec champion- ship a year ago downing the Bank Boys in the final. The nucleus of the same Crediton club is now com- peting in a WOAA intermediate grouping and faring quite well with four straight victories to their credit. Baseball action in Exeter this summer was very slim with the bantam team the only one entered in WOAA competition and they bowed out in the first round of the playoffs. The intense rivalry in Huron-Perth baseball play between the Zurich Lumber Kings and Dash- wood Tigers continued with the Kings winning out in a long hard fought battle for the right to advance in OBA "D" play. The Zurich boys, after being elimi- nated in provincial play, came back to win the H-P league title with wins over Mitchell and St. Marys. A new champion was crowned in the local Rec softball league as the Exeter Kinsmen club proved to be the best club in the popular loop. Late in the softball season, new floodlights were installed at the Community Park in Crediton as a Centennial project of the village and the Town- ship of Stephen. Probably the last Centennial project to be completed in the area was the renovation and instal- lation of artificial ice in the Babe Siebert Memorial arena in Zurich. The $80,000 project that included new en- trances and dressing rooms in addition to the ice sur- face is being financed mainly by the village of Zurich with the help of grants from the provincial and fed- eral governments and a $5,000 donation from the Zurich Lions club. MONDAY, Jan. 1 Arena Closed HAT TRICK LEADS A three goal effort turned in by Eric Finkbeiner led the Crediton Tigers to the 8-4 win over Graham and Graham, their third win in four starts. Single scores fired by Jim Finkbeiner, Glen Overholt, Doug Galloway, Jack Conlin and Pat McKeever accounted for the bal- ance of the Crediton tallying. Jim MacDonald scored twice to lead the G & G club while singles were added byOttoSmale and Ed Kerslake. Bluewater Junior Hockey Friday, Dec. 22 8:30 p.m. Pt.

Allan Sararas led the Hensall scoring attack in the Wednesday win with a pair of goals while Brad Pryde, Fred Elder and Rob- ert Parsons added singles.

On the Canadian sports scene, the highlight was probably the successful staging of the Pan-Am games in Winnipeg. While Canadians are not expected to show much in professional baseball, one of our natives proved this theory wrong this summer with an ex- cellent performance. Fergie Jenkins, the young Chatham right hander was the top pitcher on the roster of the Chi, cago Cubs and only last week was selected as Can- • ada's male athlete of the year. Jenkins, in his first full year in the majors, gained the opening day assignment for the Cubs, pitched in the All-Star game and won 20 games for Leo Durocher's Cubs. He is proving his popularity as a publicity agent and performer with the Harlem Globe Trotters, a top basketball attraction throughout North Amer- ica, Fergie was originally signed to appear in seven Canadian cities but his contract has been extended for several more weeks in the United States. Space will not allow us to dwell much on the national scene but the 1967 pennant race in the American league is well worth mentioning. For prob- ably the first time in the history of baseball, four teams were in contention right to the wire. The spirit and enthusiasm of the pennant win- ning Red Sox seems to have rubbed off on their hockey brothers, the Boston Bruins, who are in the thick of the fight in the National hockey league. In closing, we would like to take this oppor- tunity to wish everyone a very MEII,B,Y CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR, 4etfic4 Gmeting4 As we raiso our voices in hymns of praise, let us hear the glory of His message. let us rejoice at Christmas.
