BURTON BEST
Scott Burton, who excels in
many sports, was the top scorer
in the opening senior Panther
win over Stratford Northwestern.
Bruce Shaw's Panthers ran up
a 15-point lead at half-time only
to see it dwindle to only three
points with less than two min-
utes to go in the game. At this
point, Burton who scored a total
of 14 points, took over and en-
sured the victory with a pair of
last minute baskets.
Other top scorers for the locals
were Bill Farquhar with eight,
Bud Desjardine with a half dozen
points and four and two points
respectively from Uilke Nagel
and Ross Huff. Bill Ebel was the
Stratford performer with 13
points to his credit.
JUNIORS BLANKED
The South Huron juniors had
a lot of trouble finding the scoring
range as they failed to score a
single point in the first quarter
and found themselves on the short
end of a 1'7-7 count at half-time.
Steve Murley led the junior
Panther scoring attack with a
total of nine points while Dave
Marshall clicked for five points
and Dale MacKenzie added a
point from the free throw line.
Following are the line-ups for
the South Huron teams in last
week's opening games:

THE HOME OF GUARDIAN MAINTENANCE
South Huron cagers
open with, three wins
The Exeter Hawks snapped out
of a two game losing streak in
Wallaceburg Monday as they
turned in one of their better ef-
forts, edging the Selkirks 3-2.
The Hawks had suffered their
second straight defeat 8-6, at the
hands of the Petrolia Jets on
Exeter ice Friday in a rough
and tumble contest.
The Wallaceburg club comes
right back to meet the Hawks in
a return game at the Exeter
arena Friday night at 8:30.
The Hawks now possess a sea-
son record of six wins, the same
number of losses and a pair of
ties in 14 starts in the Blue-
water junior league. The high
flying Dresden Kings continue
in first place with 22 points to
their credit.
While the Hawks are well down
in the league standings, three of
their members are well up in
the' scoring race. Larry Laye
has 13 goals and 11 assists for
24 points, good for third place,
while Scott Burton has 22 points
to his credit and Pete Lawson
follows with 16.
CLEAN CONTEST
Monday's game in Wallace-
burg, which the Hawks won 3-2
was one of the fastest and best
played game of the season with
only four penalties being called,
two to each club.
The Hawks gained a, 2-1 lead
in the first period and each team
scored once in the final stanza
after going through the middle
frame without giving the goal
judges any work.
After Roy Vandrofelaar had put
the Wallaceburg club out in front
early in the first period, hard
working Rick MacDonald tied the
score at 10:34on a neat passing
play with line-mates Scott.Burton
and KeVin McKinnon.
With only 20 seconds remaining
in the first period, Mike Hoy
scored his first of two goals to
put the Hawks in front to stay on
a play Started by Jim Hayter.
Shortly after, the two minute
mark in the final frame, Hoy was
back on the Score board with
Hayter again providing the pass-
ing assistance,
Although the Selkirks did come
Close in the final minutes with
Vaughan Misiciakomon getting his
club's second goal of the gatrie,
Jim Glavin in goal for the Eketer
boyb was able to hold the fort
and preserVe the victory,

After watching Canada's National hockey
team hi action a couple of times during the past
week, one has to be proud of their conduct on the
ice.
All members of the team stuck to hockey,
especially in Saturday's final game against Russia
When they seemed to get a couple Of bad calls by the
Officials.
While the players kept cool, this was more
than can be said for their adviser, Father David
Bauer, who originated the idea for a national club
several years back.
Bauer, who was a commentary guest on the
television broadcast of the game from Winnipeg, and
Johnny Esaw, who did the play-by-play description,
made continuous uncalled for remarks about the of-
ficials and the Russian referee in particular.
We have always been a defender of officials
in all sports and contend that a referee or an umpire
very seldom caused a team to lose. This also goes
for Saturday's game in Winnipeg.
While penalties may have been costly as the
Russians capitalized three times on a manpower ad-
vantage, the Canadians held a good edge in terri-
torial play and missed many scoring chances.
Coach Jackie McLeod of the Nationals also
complained bitterly of the officiating, saying, "It was
our game until 5:27 of the third period when that
Russian referee called Danny O'Shea for tripping. It
took the starch out of us."
A statement like that doesn't make much
sense when one realizes that the Russians were lead-
ing 2-1 at the time.
The Canadian players acted like good will am-
bassadors throughout the game despite the conduct
of their superiors. Early in the third period, Barry
McKenzie and Paul Conlin, who is a native of Lucan,
helped a Russian player off the ice after he was
cross-checked from behind.
The boys in the television booth even thought
it was funny, hinting that the Russian took a "swan
dive." It was reported later that the Russian player
in quesion may be out of action for some time.
We feel on the strength of the performance
of our National team in the just concluded tourna-
ment in Winnipeg that they still have a good chance
of winning the Olympic title in Grenoble, France in
February.
While carrying the play, in Winnipeg Satur-
day, the Canadians were trying to work in too close
to the net and not taking enough shots.
Everyone knows that every shot taken toward
the net, however futile it may seem, has a chance
of finding the mark by the way of a deflection or a
mistake by the opposition.
Also, our club will have to strengthen their de-
fences 'against the Russian power play if they wish to
bring home a title. On all of the three Russian goals
in the final game that came. when the Canucks were
shorthanclectnOilit.boys,-seemed to just stand around
and let the opposition set up the scores with very
deliberate passing plays.
The fans in Winnipeg, where our National
team is based, are certainly behind the club one
hundred per cent. More than 10,700 spectators, a
capacity crowd at Winnipeg's new arena, braved 30
degree below zero temperatures to watch Saturday's
final.
REACH MILESTONES
Two fairly important milestones in the Na-
tion:al hockey league were reached over the week-
end. Bobby Hull, the blonde bomber of the Chicago
Black Hawks, scored his 400th goal of his NHL ca-
reer Sunday, and the night before, Toronto Maple
Leaf captain George Armstrong participated in game
number 1,000 of regular schedule play.
Armstrong now stands sixth among the eight
active players who survived more than 1,000 games
during season action. Including playoff contests, the
Leaf captain has now appeared in 1,101 games in
Clarence Campbell's league.
The leader in the number of games played is
Detroit's Gordie Howe with 1,575 to his credit. The
other seven who have suited up more than 1,000
times are Marcel Pronovost, Allan Stanley and Tim
Horton of the Leafs, Detroit's Alex Delvecchio and
Harry Howell and Ron Stewart of the New York
Rangers. ,
Armstrong, who is in his 17th season, has de-
fied time long enough to rank third in the Toronto
scoring gallery behind Red Kelly and Frank Mahov-
lich. George has 263 goals, compared with Mahov-
lich's 287 and the 281 that Kelly retired with to Los
Angeles,
Armstrong, a very modest fellow who appears
to be rejuvenated after threatening to retire at the
end of last season, attributes his success this year
to line-mates Dave Keon and Frank 111ahovlich. "I
kid nobody," he was saying the other day. "When
you play with two guns like that, you've always got
a chance to score."
The Leaf captain adds, "Length is why I've
got 263 goals. I've lasted 17 seasons, which is 10
more than I though I'd last. Greater hockey players
than me scored less because they didn't last or quit
too soon."
This statement of Armstrong's could be quite
true when one realizes that Syl Apps scored 201
goals in 10 years and the late Charlie Conacher
notched 225 in 12 years. Both of the former Leaf
greats did their scoring when the league schedule
was much shorter than the 74 games of today.
If playoff games are counted, five Other cur-
rent NatiOnal league performers have reached the
1,000 game milestone, namely Leo Boivin, Eric Nes-
terenko, Terry Sawchuck, Andy Bathgate and Jean
BeliveatL
Bobby Hull who IS well on his way to better-
ing the goal scoring record in the NHL again this
year, scored three times over the weekend IS the
Hawks moved three points in front of the pack.
Hull now has scored 31 times in 38 games
this year bringing his career total to 401.
The NIIL games of Saturday night marked the
half-way point for most of the teams in the league.
If the present trend continues a real battle will take
place :for Most of the playoff positions.
At the moment only nine points separate the
De- first place :Black Hawks and the cellar dwelling De-
troit Red Wings, The real coziness exists among the
bottom four clubS,

Crediton club
wins another
Crediton Tigers had to come
from behind on Exeter ice Sun-
day night to preserve their un-
beaten record in WOAA inter-
mediate d'D" play.
The Tigers scored four times
in the third period to down the
MonktonWildcats 6-4 in a list-
less game. The same two teams
meet back in Monkton Friday and
the Crediton club plays host to
Blyth at the Exeter arena Sunday
night at 8:30.
The score was even at a goal
apiece after the first period of
play with Paul Cronyn scoring
for Crediton and Joe Harrow
replying for the visitors from
Monkton.
In the second stanza, Wes Smith
beat Tom Glavin in the Crediton
nets on two occasions while Glenn
Overholt was the only Tiger to
find the scoring range success-
fully.
Smith scored again early in
the third period to put the Wild-
cats into a temporary 4-2 lead.
Shortly after the fourth Monk-
ton goal, the Crediton six awaken-
ing to the fact they could be in
for their first loss of the season,
came to life.
Roy Smith took a pass from
Dennis Morrissey at 6:54 to score
the third Crediton goal and Pat
McKeever rapped in the equal-
izer less than a minute later.
With about six minutes to go
in the game, Dennis Morrissey
scored what proved to be the
winner on a play started by
Smith and defenceman Joe Reg-
ier.
Fred Lamb, Crediton's top
scorer in the season to date
made a rink-long dash at 17:20
to add an insurance goal to the
winners' total.
Taylor and John Gould led the
Exeter squirts in their Saturday
4-1 win over Dorchester. Taylor
was the marksman on three oc-
casions while Gould added a
single marker.
The next action for the local
squirts pits them against Huron
A in Lucan Saturday at 2:30.
STOVER AGAIN
In Wednesday's opening'Sham-
rock contest, Perry Stover con-
tinued as one of the Exeter pee
wee top scorers as he blinked
the red light twice as his club
drew with Strathroy 3-3. Wayne
Regier notched the third Exeter
score.
ANOTHER TIE
The Exeter midgets have won
only five games in 15 starts
this year but their ability to come
Up with the same number of ties
has given them 15 points. Such
was the case Wednesday as Barry
Baynham, Tom Prout and Larry
Haugh scored in single fashion
to gain a 3-3 draw with Strath-
roy.
MIDGETS VICTORIOUS
Philip Moore scored twice to
lead the Exeter bantams to a
6-2 win over Strathroy, Wed-
