These youngsters who are ten years of age and younger produce a pleasing brand of hockey and have been improving every time out, They saw plenty of action on Friday and Saturday of last week as they played three times in less than 24 hours, The Exeter boys blanked Huron Heights 4-0 on home ice Friday night and repeated with a 3-0 win in Lucan the following afternoon. Earlier Saturday, the local youngsters downed Ingersoll 1-0 in an ex- hibition tilt also in Lucan. The Exeter Legion bantams, enjoying a very successful season in Shamrock play, ran into a tough Stoneybrook team in Strathroy Sunday in the first game of the OMHA second round playdowns and end, ed up on the short end of a 2-1 count. The second game of the best-of-three series was played at the Exeter ice palace Wednesday night and the locals needed a win to stay in contention. This is a well balanced team and well coached by Bill Gilfillan and Gary Middleton and win or lose in the provincial playdowns they have provided local fans with many thrills during the winter. Another group of hockeyists who have been giving the local spectators plenty of thrills nearly every Sunday night throughout the season at the Exeter arena are the Crediton Tigers. Bob Galloway and Scotty Regier have moulded together a strong team that lost only one game in WOAA intermediate play and eliminated Monkton Wildcats in the district grouping's semi-final series. The Tigers, consisting mostly of overage jun- iors and former minor stars of Crediton and district, are now awaiting the winner of the St. Clements - Zurich set for the group championship. St. Clements are currently leading three games to none. HAWKS ARE ROLLING The most pleasing turn of events has been the fine performances turned in by the Exeter junior Hawks in their last three outings in Bluewater league play. A lot of the credit for the great improvement of the juniors in the last couple of weeks has to go to coach Terry Bourne. While the club has had great potential all season, Bourne has brought them along slowly and only after a couple of very lacklustre ef- forts did he crack the whip and demand better show- ings from every one of the players. The Hawks responded with three consecutive wins, including Friday's impressive 12-5 victory over Blenheim GOlden Jets in the first game of the group "D" semi-finals. The second game was played, in Bien- -heim Wednesday with the third going at the 'local arena Friday night at 8:30. The big difference in the play of the Hawks over the past couple of weeks is their ability to re- frain from retaliating when the going gets heavy and rough. As one veteran fan remarked at Friday's play- off game, "We have a good hockey team here, but we need six players on the ice to win games." We know that it's not easy and takes a lot of restraint to take a hard and sometimes illegal check without hitting back but you can't win games in the penalty box. We feel coach Bourne has used the proper tactics in bringing the team along at a reasonable pace and should have them at the right pitch for the playoffs. If the Hawks keep flying like they were Fri- day night, we should have another contender for the OHA championship. The initial win over Blenheim was a solid team effort with every member of the Hawks giving it his best at all times. While the boys must play up to their potential to give us a chance at the OHA "D" title, another im- portant aspect cannot be overlooked. Pan support was a key factor in the success of last year's Hawks in reaching the provincial semi- finals. Let's everyone get behind the Hawks as they head down the playoff trail by attending as 'many of the games as possible. CLOSE GARDENS There wasn't a dry eye in the old Madison " Square Gardens in New York the night of February 11 when the doors closed on 43 years of glorious sports history, much of which was devoted to hockey. It was only fitting that when they paid final tribute to the old Gardens that some 60 past and present National Hockey League greats should be on hand for the nostalgic moment. The galaxy of NHL stars paraded up and down the Gardens ice for the last time. There were some of the greatest names ill hockey on hand for the closing. The fabled Eddie Shore was there along with Ching Johnson, Xing Clancy and Dit Clapper. The most famous New York Ranger forward line of all time, Bill and Bun Cook and Frank Boucher were present along with such notable Ranger stars as Cecil Dillon, Bryan Hextall, Murray Murdoch, Earl Seibert, Andy athgate, Babe Pratt and Dave Kerr. Players who carved their niche in the Gardens clown through the years came back to say their fare- wells to the old ice palace. These included Maurice Richard, Gordie 'Howe, Sid Abel, Bill Cowley, Milt Schmidt, Elmer Lach, Toe Blake, Ted Lindsay arid a host of past NHL greats. The old Gardens, which opened in 1026 for a hockey game between the old New York Americans and the Montreal Canadiens was closed with a game featuring the NeW York hangers and Detroit Red Whigs. • o i 0000 ;100000•01.0;milemisit 00000 ;i o 0in oo tttt tt l(110.00 :Once, in every week, An ad in every home Crediton Tigers came up with one of their best scoring attacks of the season on Exeter ice Sun- day night to swamp Monk ton Wild- cats 10-3 and take the best-of- seven WOAA group semi-final series in five games. The Tigers scraped by the Wildcats in Monkton 5-4 Friday to set the stage for Sunday's winning tilt, The last three games of the set were wild and wooly with numerous fights and a few stitches being inflicted. Crediton will have a few days of rest as they await the winner of the Zurich -St. Clements ser- ies to decide the group champ- ionship. START EARLY In Sunday's win, Crediton started on the scoring attack early and built up a five goal lead by the end of the first period. novice win The Exeter Legion bantams were only able to score four goals in their last three games and are on the brink of elimina- tion in OMHA playoffs. On Exeter ice Wednesday, the locals edged St. Marys 2-1 to take the first provincial round in straight games. Sunday afternoon in Strathroy, the Exeter club was edged by Stoneybrook 2-1 in the first game of the second round. The second game was played at the local arena last night. If the Exeter kids came through with a win the third and deciding contest will be played in Strathroy Sun- day at 5 o'clock. In a scheduled Shamrock league bantam game in LondonSaturdaY, Exeter blanked Lambeth 1-0. Peter Mason and Pete Glover Were the Exeter marksmen in the win over St. Marys while Peter Kleinstiver was the lone goal getter against Stoneybrook.

Dennis Morrissey found the target on two occasions in the first session, both on plays or- iginated by Robb, while Fred Lamb and Glen Overholt fired singles to complete the winners five goal total in the opening frame. Near the end of the first per- iod, a fight broke out between. Jim Morrissey of Crediton and Murray Butcher of Monkton. Gord Vincent came to Morrissey's aid and he received a game mis- conduct for his ((trouble". The same penalty was handed out to Lou Heinbuch who came off the Monkton bench to attempt to give Butcher a hand.

This seems to be the theory being used by the Exeter midgets this year. Satur- day in London theypickedup their tenth tie of the year, 3-3, against Lambeth. A goal by Larry Haugh with less than a minute to go in the game with Exeter goalie John Hayter trying to get off the ice to allow a sixth forward ensured the draw in London. Other goal scorers were Steve Murley and Randy Parsons. NOVICE WERE BUSY The Exeter novice hockeyists had a busy weekend as they played three times in less than 24 hours and they came away with a perfect record, On Exeter ice Friday, the local youngsters blanked Huron East 4-0 in the first game of anOMHA total goal series and bounced right back in Lucan Saturday afternoon to administer a 3-0 defeat to the same club. In exhibition play in Lucan earlier Saturday, in a game that replaced a regularly scheduled Shamrock contest, Exeter edged Ingersoll 1-0, John Gould, Brian Taylor, Rob- ert Gnenther and Brian Penhale Were the Exeter scorers ohhoine ice against Huron East While Steven Willert, Howard Schenk and Taylor scored in Lucan.Wil» lert was the goal getter against Ingersoll, The next OMIIA opposition for the locals will come from either Lambeth Or Stoneybrook. fight Butcher was cut on the mouth for seven stitches. In Friday's game Jim Morrissey was also cut in the face for the same number of stitches in a fracas with the same Butcher. play quieted down consider- ably in the second period as the boys stuck pretty well to playing the puck. With a five goal lead the Tigers seemed to Telex a bit and by the 12:13 mark Monkton had scored three times to get back into contention on goals by Warren Smith, Bob Ludington and Doug McEwen. The sudden spurt by the visit- ors brought the Tigers back to life and they retaliated with four goals before the period was com- pleted. Jamie Robb scored three times In less than four minutes to up his game total to four and Fred Lamb contributed his sec- ond score of the night. Scoring in the third period was confined to a single marker from the stick of Pat McKeever at 9:10 on a play started by Dennis Morrissey and Robb. LAMB LEADS TIGERS In another rough contest in Monkton Friday, Fred Lamb was the top Crediton goal producer as he found the range on no less than three occasions. Dennis Morrissey added a pair of tal- lies to complete the Crediton 'goal total in the 5-4 victory. Trio tied at top of male curling A real battle is shaping up for supremacy In the Exeter men's curling club second draw as three rinks are tied for first place after six weeks of play. Rinks skipped by Jim Pinder, Gord McCarter and AItner Pass- more have identical draw point totals of 57 to head the loop that consists of 40 rinks.

I am certain all those in at- tendance will agree although we have had excellent carnivals in the past, this year's show was the best. It takes a great deal of time and effort by all those involved to put on a show of this kind. The executive of the club and Mrs. Faye McDonald, the pro- fessional, deserve a lot of credit for the success of the carnival over the past few years. * The last place Kings with a great team effort managed to hang on to a one goal lead to defeat the Panthers 2-1 on Sat- urday. Steven Pfaff and Peter Wuerth were the marksmen for the Kings. The only goal the Panthers were able to score on goalie Bill Van Bergen was fired by Les Murley. Goalie Bobby Brand came up with some.great saves to record a shut-but as the Penguins were victorious over the Seals 5-0. Pat Hogan scored twice to lead the Penguins' scoring attack while singles were added by John Muller and Gerald Van Oesh. The Rangers, after playing tie games two weekt in a row, came up with a big game on Saturday to defeat Boston 4-2. Tom Hayter Scored twice to pace the Rangers scoring with single goals being chalked up by Paul Pooley and Wally Fydenchuck, The Boston goals were scored by Terry Johns and Wes Rhude.

In the first half of the twin bill, the Bank Boys maintained their two-point first place lead over the Crediton Tigers by trouncing Graham and Graham 15-5. The Crediton boys kept pace with the Bankers by posting a 10-5 decision over the Old Timers in the nightcap. The last games of the regular schedule will be played tonight with the Old Timers and Graham and Graham meeting at eight o'clock with Crediton taking on the Bank Boys in the finale in an attempt to climb back into a tie for first place. Bob Jones of the Bankers con- tinues to lead the league scoring department with 37 goals to his credit.
