Rea Bogart, in charge of the local wrestlers, hopes to have at least one contestant in each of the 14 different weight classifications, ranging from 87 pounds to 180 pounds and the unlimited class, 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.

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, LOSE EARLY LEAD The 'Hawks moved into a four goal lead in the first ten Min- ntes of Friday's game against Petrolia bUt Wet'e unable to hang On as the Jets came back to win 8-6, The Petrolia club roared back with five goals in the second period that was marred by a free4or.all, During the fracas, Larry Wilson 'of the visitors was given a match penalty for kicking Exeter's Bill Bourne and referee LOU HeinbitCh Of Mitchell, Game misconducts were also handed out to tan irergilSeli and Ted London of :Petrolia and Hill Exeter's four minor clubs par- ticipating in the Shamrock hockey loop enjoyed reasonable success over the past week as they came up with two wins and the same number of ties in their only outings. In Wednesday's regular triple- header against clubs from Strath- roy, the local pee wees and midgets played to identical 3-3 draws while the bantams re- corded a decisive 6-2 win. Regular squirt play in Lucan Saturday, the Exeter kids re- corded their sixth win of the year downing Dorchester 4-1. The local squirts are in fourth place in the district grouping, but only one point out of first as Lambeth, Strathroy and Stoneybrook are tied for the top position, The Exeter bantams hold a commanding lead in first place in their eight team grouping with a point total of 28 on the strength of 14 Wins in 15 starts. In pee wee ranks the locals hold doWn fifth spot with 13 points on six Wins and a tie in 15 starts while the Exeter mid- gets have 15 points as the result' of five wins and the same number of ties, good for third spot in the standings, SAME SCORERS As .haa been the case in most of their games this year, Brian Fairbairn and Pete Lawson of the Hawks. Scott Burton opened the scoring near the four minute mark of the first period and before an- other five minutes had elapsed, Bill Chipchase, Jim Hayter and Levy Laye had scored to up the Exeter lead to 4-0. Before the period ended, Dennis Mcphail put the Jets on the scoreboard for the first time. — Please turn to -page 12 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, The fOlir haSkethall clubs re- presenting South Huron District High School In the Huron-Perth conference saw their first, of- ficial ,action last The two girls teams, made a very successful trip to Stratford Picking up a pair of wins from Nprthwestern high school of that city. The senior girls squad took a 27-15 decision while the juniors came away with a resounding 22-6 victory. In the first games played in the new gym at SHDliS, the pan- thers boys' teams split with the same Stratford Northwestern school, The Stratford juniors won the opening game by a 30-15 count, while the senior Panthers bounced back to take the night- cap 34-27. The local quintets got their second taste of conference action yesterday in a four game series with Wingham. The new gym at South Huron will be a busy spot all day 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- nesday. Allan Parsons, Randy preszcator, Randy Gilfillan and Peter Mason completed the local scoring with one goal each.
