BLUEWATER JUNIOR HOCKEY DRESDEN KINGS V8, EXETER HAWKS Fri.,Feb. 16- Exeter Arend Page :4 TfrovisAdrocati f. .February 11 1968 fOit:A4o.oPP. ,SPORTS. By .Ross Haugh TWOS Q. good cloy The Weatherman had a lot to do with slowing down the success in a financial way .of Saturday's Minor HockeY Day at the Exeter arena but couldn't dampen the spirits of the youngsters. As far as the brand of hockey dished up was concerned it was probably the most successful Minor Hockey Day ever held in Exeter. Derry Boyle, president of the local Minor Hockey Association, echoed our sentiments when he said, "The day was highly successful and the best all round display by our six teams that I have ever seen. The high calibre of hockey shown Saturday is the result of a good hockey program, We have a good group of men doing the coaching and they de- serve the credit." The EMHA president also went on to thank all the outside 'teams for taking part in the day's activities despite terrible weather conditions, Aihough the adverse weather conditions did cut down the crowds, arena manager Alvin Willert reported Monday morning that net receipts will be close to last year when a profit of $363 was realized. On the scoreboard, Exeter clubs lost the first two games and from then on were unbeatable. This statement may be a bit misleading as the last two games of the day involved only local teams. The seven and eight-year-old mites put on their display of puck chasing right after the supper hour and impressed everyone with their abilities. The Zurich club failed to appear due to the weather and the local mites were divided into two teams for the game. The wind-up game of the day saw the current Exeter Hawks down a group of former juniors 9-7. The Goderich novice club took the first game of the day edging the Exeter six 4-3 and Huron Heights pee wees were victorious over the locals 3-2. Possibly the best game of the day saw the Exeter Legion bantams down a Sarnia "A" club for their 24th win of the season. The Exeter midgets con- tinued the winning pattern with a 4-2 win over Bel- mont. FISH APLENTY Experience and fishing know-how paid off for a couple of Staffa area fishermen on a trip to Lake Simcoe last week. Ernie and Norm Harburn spent last Thursday and Friday on the ice of Lake Simcoe and came back with 76 whitefish and two herring. This was the best catch ever for the two ardent anglers who have been going up almost every week during the winter for the past ten years. They used salted minnows to catch the white- fish that averaged about two pounds with a few of the bigger ones tipping the scales at three pounds. When we mentioned at the first of this item that experience paid off in nabbing this large amount of fish, we were thinking about our editor who made. his first ice fishing excursion a couple of weeks ago and was only able to bring a couple of fish to the surface. Ernie Harburn told us on the weekend that on their latest trip they were out about seven miles on the lake and the ice was 18 inches thick. He said one of the reasons given for the hungrier fish was that there was more oxygen in the water from the recent wet weather. He also reported seeing a couple of lake trout near the surface that were in the ten- pound range. The excellent fishing continued Saturday as a group of Exeter fishermen also hauled in a better than average catch. Nabbing more than 100 white- fish were Harold Holtzmann, Bev Morgan, Mac Hod- gert, Don MacGregor and Graham and Tom Arthur of town along with Rick and Jim Payne of Nairn. The temperature at the time was 27 degrees below zero. EXCELLENT CURLING Congratulations are in order to Pres Lavier and his Exeter Legion curling rink for their fine showing in the Legion provincial finals in North Bay a week ago. The local rink that includes King McDonald, Gerd McTavish and Jake Marks won the Zone "C" title in Guelph to qualify for the provincial finals, In competition against eight other Ontario Zone winners the Exeter rink finished fourth. While on the curling topic, four enthusiastic cutlers from South Huron District High School won the Huron-Perth Conference boys' championship at the Exeter curling club Saturday and will be com- peting in the WOSSA finals at the Ivanhoe club in London on MarCh 20 and 21. Skip Gord Greenwood and his rink composed of Al LaVier, Robert Mickle and Kevin Lamport, were at their best as they swept by their opposition with comparative ease. They eliminated Wingham, List- owel and Seaforth by respective scores of 11-6, 17-5 and 17-4 to earn the March trip to London. FIGURE SKATERS READY Preparations are quickly being completed for the Exeter Figure Skating Clubs carnival that will be held at the Exeter arena on February 24. Club president Mary Holtzmannannounced this week that one of O ntario's top women skaters, Miss Glenda Boughner, ,Kitchener, will be the guest artist at the .annual show. Under the direction of club pro, Mrs. Faye. MacDonald, all of the 108 members of the local club have been working hard at practice sessions. Cos- tumes for the show are arriving this weekend and next Monday will be try-on day. The theme of thisyear's, presentation 18 "Toy- lane 'and five of the triether8 of theyoung skater's hate spent the last week in constructing A large Worth, The 1001'Wertii", some 30 feet in length, Will Make its debut in Listowel Friday night as six Exeter skaters take part in a carnival sponsored by the Listowel club.

The faithful fans, who braved tt), Wintry OlaSta from the weather- man, were rewarded with a, fine display of puck chasing that cov- ered every age range from the six year,Old mites up to the ju- nior Hawks. Some of the boys got more than their share of hockey activity as Two of Exeter's minor hockey teams were eliminated in two straight games in OMHA play- offs while the other holds acom- manding lead in the first round. The local pee wee and midget clubs were knocked off by St. Marys while the Exeter Legion bantams defeated St. Marys 7-2 in the first contest of a best-of- three series. The pee wees were on the short end of 11-4 and 9-2 counts while, the midgets succumbed by scores of 7-2 and 6-4. The latter game, in St, Marys Monday, was a close one all the way with the home team taking the decision after ten minutes of overtime. Exeter Hawks failed to take ad- vantage of an opportunity to move higher in the Bluewater junior hockey standings as they could only come up with one win in three starts over the past week. The Hawks dropped a close 8-6 Verdict to the firstplace Dresden Kings in Dresden Friday; bounced back with a 4-1 win over Alvin- ston in Watford Sunday but fell back into the losing coluMn on home ice Tuesday as they lost 8-4 to the Belmont Sunsets. Dresden has 27 points good for first spot, Petrolia are cloSe behind with 26; the Alvinston Flyers hold down third spot with 23, points and the tawks follow in .fourth place another point back. The locals make their next ap- pearance on bete ice Friday 'when they play host to the high flying. Dresden Kings.

Completing the Exeter goal scoring in game number one were Ricky Stagg and Terry Janke with single goals each. GOALS WELL SPREAD Goal scoring was well distri- buted in the opening bantam win over St. Marys in the Per th in's bid for a shutout, but less than a minute later Jim Hayter had renewed the Exeter margin. Late in the period, defence- man Craig Davidson found a gap in the Alvinston goalie's armour to complete the Exeter scoring.

A forward line composed of Allan Parsons, John Krampp and Danny Calcott was instrumental in gaining the impressive win over the visitors from a larger municipality. Parsons and Krampp e ac h scored twice with Calcott adding a pair of assists, Close behind in the point department was Brad Klumpp who scored a single and added two assists. Pete Glover contributed the ether Exeter counter. In the midget contest, the Ex- eter boys scored twice in the first ten minutes of play and carried the margin the rest of the way as they downed Belmont 4-2. Barry Baynham was the top goal getter for the locals as he beat Mike McLaughlin in the Bel- mont nets on two occasions while Randy Parsons and Ron Linden- field added singles. McLaughlin was a team-mate of most of the present Exeter midgets for the past couple of years before mov- ing to Belmont. The Zurich mites did not make their scheduled trip to Exeter for a seven o'clock contest due to the stormy weather. The local six, seven and eight year-olds were divided into two teams and enjoy- ed an exciting hour of chasing pucks. Bob Pooley's Maroons edged Ron Braid's Whites 2-1 with Brad Taylor and Eugene Clarke scor- ing for the winners and Danny Mittleholtz tallying the lone White goal. LOTS OF GOALS The emphasis was on scoring goals as the current Exeter Hawks downed a team of former Hawk performers 9-7 in a free skating contest. The Grads, as the forme r Hawks were known, fell behind by an 8-2 count at one point in the second period and came roar- ing back in the final half, dis- pelling fears that they might run out of legs in the latter part of the game. Bill Chipchase and Bill Fair- bairn led the Hawks in the scor- ing department as they each beat last year's goalie, Tom Glavin, on two occasions. Scott Burton, Bill Bourne, Grant Walker, Rick MacDonald and coach Terry Bourne com- pleted the Hawk scoring. Another member of the 1966- 67 Hawk club, Dennis Morrissey was the top goal getter in the Grad scoring department as he scored twice in a space of twenty seconds in the second period. The balance of the Grads scores were tallied in single fashion by Cy Blommaert, Bill Heywood, Jim MacDonald, Fred Wells and Lloyd Moore. Other members of the losing team were Murray Bell, Jim Russell, Rick and Frank Boyle, Gerald McBride, Dale Turvey, Earl. Wagner, Mike Cushman, Pete McFalls and Craig Chap- man. Interest was added to the day as three star selections were made in each of the afternoon and evening games. Hawks win only one meet Dresden Friday second game of the series goes in Monkton Friday with the third contest back at the Exeter arena Sunday night at 8.30. Participants in the other semi- final set have not yet been decided The Zurich Flyers and Blyth ended up in a tie for fourthplace. A two-out-of-three series was ordered to decide which club would meet St. Clements and at the moment the clubs are still tied at a game apiece with the de- ciding game in Zurich Friday night. Crediton finished the regular season Friday with a '7-4 win over Blyth in the North Huron County village. LITTLE SCORING Sunday's 3-0 Crediton win was achieved in a close checking game in which there was no scor- ing until the early moments of the second period. Dennis Morrissey, Crediton's top scorer over the season put his team in front to stay at 1.32 of the second and scored an insurance marker near the midway mark of the third ses- sion. Doug McBride tallied the final Crediton counter with less than five minutes to go in the game. Tom Glavin was in the Credi- ton nets and gained a well de- served shut-out. TAKE FINAL GAME Pat McKeever and Fred Lamb each scored twice to lead the Crediton attack in their '7-4 win in Blyth Friday to close out the regular schedule. Paul Cronyn, Bob Galloway and Jim Morrissey scored in single fashion to complete the Tiger tallying. Crediton Tigers have taken a one game lead over Monkton Wildcats in their best-of-seven WOAA semi-final series for the group championship.
