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. The fourth Lambeth goal was Male curlers in final week With one week of regular play remaining in the first draw of the Exeter men's curling club first draw, a rink skipped byBill MacLean holds down first place with a total of 75 points.

After completion of play this week, the top 16 rinks will meet in the playoffs to decide a first draw champion. "I have discontinued long talks on account of my throat," the speaker remarked.

WITH TRADE Page 6 Thres,Adypcatef January 4, 1900: 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.
