Meet Monkton here Sunday
on. Tigers remain unbeaten
Three Exeter minor hockey
clubs participated in holiday
tournaments during the past week
in London, and although putting
up good showings, failed to come
home with any trophies.
The novice boys coached by
Jim Pinder and Murray Moore
defeated Goderich 3 - 2 while
losing to Wilton Grove 6-2 in
the first game and dropping a
squeaker 3-2 to London South-
west in the consolation semi-
final, Friday of the annual Oak-
ridge Acres tournament.
In the final game, the London
club scored the winning goal at
49 seconds of sudden-death over-
time to dash the Exeter hopes of
a championship.
Also, in the first game of the
tourney, the Exeter kids were
leading 2-1 in the third period
before falling apart and losing
6-2.
Brian Taylor and John Gould
were the Exeter scoring stars in
the entire series accounting for
all of their team's goals. Taylor
scored once in the first contest
and followed with a pair in each
of the next two games while Gould
scored singles in each of the
first two games.
After three gruelling games in
London, the local kids lacked
their usual speed in regular
Shamrock play in LucanSaturday
and bowed to Stoneybrook 3-1.
John Gould was the only Exeter
marksman.
OUT IN OVERTIME
The local bantam team coached
by Bill Gilfillan and Gary Middle-
ton suffered the same fate as
their younger counterparts,
dropping their second game in
the London Ice Bowl tourney in
an overtime session.
The Exeter boys downed Byron
5-4 in the opener and were edged
by London South-West Optimists
3-2 after three minutes of
sudden-death extra play.
Pete Glover an d Randy Pres-
zcator each counted twice and
Robbie Lindenfield added a single
goal in the opening Exeter win.
In the final loss to the London
team Pete Mason was on the
firing end of both Exeter goals.
The local bantam crew hold
down first place in regular Sham-
rock minor play with a record
of 13 wins in 14 starts.
MIDGETS MISS
The Exeter midgets also came
close in the annual London Minor
Hockey Association tourney at the
Gardens, Monday.
The locals, coached by Lorne
Haugh, bowed to Lambeth 4-2 in
their first contest and were edged
by the London All-Stars 5-4 in
the dying moments of the second
game.
Tom Prout and Larry Haugh
were the Exeter goal getters
in the opening loss to Lambeth.

fQ,R, ALL GOOD SPORT,. $
By ROSS: Haugh
• One ,of
• Leafs' best
On the second last day of 1967, one of the
Most celorful and exciting hockey players of the last
40 years passed away.
Ch4rlie Conacher at the age of 58, died in
Toronto General Hospital Saturday night after an
11-month bout with cancer,
The Conacher family has been represented in
the National Hockey League for 42 years. Charlie
joined with Joe Primeau and. Harvey (Busher) Jack-
son in 1929 to form the now famous kid line of the
Toronto Maple Leafs,
Lionel, the senior member of the family of
five boys and five girls, who died in 1954, turned
professional in 1925 and completed 12 full seasons
in the NHL with Pittsburgh, the New York Ameri-
cans, Montreal Maroons and Chicago Black Hawks.
A younger brother Roy, played with Boston
and Chicago. Charlie's eldest son, Peter, played with
Chicago, New York and Toronto while Lionel's sec-
ond son, Brian, recovering from an attack of influ-
enza, is a current member of the Leafs.
Back in the 30's when the Saturday night
hockey broadcasts on radio were an essential part
of the Canadian way of life, the name of Charlie
Conacher was known from coast to coast.
To us, on the farms and small villages, he was
Toronto. He was the Toronto we had come to know
through the Saturday night broadcasts of Foster Hew-
itt.
Charlie Conacher was the right winger with
Joe Primeau and Harvey Jackson that could be seen
on a colorful calendar that hung in post offices, pool
halls and grocery stores. He was the combination of
all the qualities which hick kids like us envied about
Toronto.
Back in the good old days we cheered for the
Leafs and took pride in them, too, because Toronto
Maple Leafs were, after all, Canada's Leafs as well.
HE HAD BIG NIGHT
Today, the Leafs have Mahovlich, Keon, Arm-
strong, etc., all stars in their own right, but there
can never be another single playoff performance like
Charlie Conacher's of March 26, 1936.
Only five of the modern Leafs were born
when big Charlie ruined the Stanley Cup hopes of
the Boston Bruins in two periods. The Leafs of today
have heard plenty of Charlie Conacher's achieve-
ments from King Clancy who was a stalwart Leaf
defenceman at the time.
Leafs were matched against the Bruins in a
two-game quarter final, total goals to count. The Bos-
ton club won the first game 3-0 and in the second
game, at the Gardens, scored once in the first period
to go four goals up.
In the first four periods of the series, Charlie,
the Leafs top scorer during the regular season with
23 goals, had been kept off the score sheet by the
relentless checking of Red Beattie. Between periods,
Clancy suggested a remedy to the situation. "Go out
and belt Beattie! When he gets close, whack him!"
It took Charlie only a few minutes to follow
the advice of Clancy as he jammed an elbow into
Beattie and. Odie Cleghorn, a tolerant referee, over-
looked the infraction. A few moments later Clancy
tripped Eddie Shore, the leader of the Boston de-
fence corps. Cleghorn also missed Clancy's foul and
Shore was off on one of his tantrums.
First of all, Shore shot the puck at the ref-
eree and received a two-minute sentence. Injustice
nagged at Shore's short temper and Clancy, skating
in circles, kept needling from a short distance. Shore
picked up the puck and threw it into the crowd and
had a misconduct penalty tacked on.
While Shore was off, the Leafs ran in four
goals to tie the round at 44. They kept scoring after
he returned, at last winning the game 8-3 and the
series 8-6. Charlie Conacher scored three goals and
assisted on three others to complete a performance
that is instantly caught in memory, where it had been
preserved for 31 years.
Conacher possessed a tremendous shot, and
his barrelling style of play made him feared by all.
NHL goalies. After helping the Toronto Marlboros
to the Memorial Cup championship in 1928-29, he
turned pro with the Leafs and led the league in goals
with 31 in his second season, although finishing sec-
ond to the great Howie Morenz in the league scoring
race.
Conacher won the scoring title in 1933.34 with
32 goals, 20 assists for 52 points and repeated the
following year with 36 goals and 21 assists. The next
season he tied with teammate Bill Thorns, for sec-
ond place With most goals. Each scored 23 times dur-
ing the 48-game schedule.
In his nine-year career with the Maple Leafs
he scored a total of 200 goals in regular season play
and added another 14 during playoffs. Charlie com-
pleted his NHL play with one year at Detroit and
two years as a member of the old New York. Amer-
icans.
Before ending his career in professional hock-
ey, Conacher spent two and a half years as coach of
the Chicago Black Hawks, a perennial tail-end club
at that time. It was during his tenure as a coach that
he gained a measure of notoriety for slugging a
sports writer.
The incident occurred during the 1950 season
following a 9-2 Chicago loss in the Detroit Olympia.
Lew Walters, a Detroit writer is alleged to have made
some insinuating remarks about the Hawks after en-
tering the Chicago dressing room and Conacher belt-
ed him.
Walters charged Conacher with assault but
later dropped the charge and league president Clar-
ence Campbell imposed a $200 fine on Conacher
Which Charlie claimed he never paid. He later apolo-
gized to the Detroit scribe, saying, "it was a bad
night fOr the hawks and myself arid I was upset."
Conacher, who was inducted into the Hockey
Hall of Fame in June of 1961, joining his brother
LiOnel, the Big Train of Canada's past, was a fierce
competitor during his entire career. His former boss,
Conn Smythe, paid him this tribute, "He can be as
great aS hewants to be in anything he undertakes,
Only few hours after his death, the Charlie
Conacher Research Fund was launched by a group
cif Canadian businessmen. Purpose of the fund will
be to defray expenses of work involved in coordinat-
ing the volumes of statistics, records and, tabulated
procedures on the subject of canter, which have
been accumulating at Toronto Generaniospitai.
