The Cut in pursuit of the first fish to show this Only last week, a copy gf the 1968 fishing regulations arrived on our desk from the Ontario Department of 'Lands and Forests listing the various fishing seasons. Apparently the new regulations announced a few weeks ago requiring every fisherman over the age of 17 to hold a resident fishing licence will not go into effect until the first of next year. Locally, anglers will be able to try for pike and pickerel for the first 'time this year in the early morning of May 11 while the Counties of Lambton and Middlesex are open all year around for these species. The regulations just received clearly outline the equipment that can be used for catching suckers, smelt and other coarse fish. In the counties of Lamb- ton and Middlesex., coarse fish and pike may be taken by means of 'a spear or dip-net in the months of March and April. In other parts of Ontario, including. Huron County, coarse fish including suckers may be taken by spear during April and May and by means of a dip-net during the months of March, April and May. In all of the above-mentioned cases fishing must be carried out between sunrise and sunset. A bow and arrow may also be used to take coarse fish during March and April and carp from May 1 to June 15 in all Western Ontario Counties. Another popular fish, the smelt, can be taken by dip-net or seine at night during March, April and May. The dip-net shall not exceed six feet by six feet if angular or six feet in diameter if circular, In district four, which includes Huron and most counties to the east and north, the trout sea- - son opens on April 27 and bass season on June 29. For most waters in this district the trout sea- son closes on September 15, but the Bayfield, Mait- land and Lucknow rivers are included in a group of special rivers receiving an extension on seasons. The Bayfield, in the townships of Groderich and Stanley from Highway 4 southwesterly to Lake Huron, the Maitland in Goderich and Colborne town- ships from Highway 21 to Lake Huron and the Lucknow (9 Mile) from Highway 21 to Lake Huron can be fished for rainbow trout only until Novem- ber 30. An interesting item concerning the number of bait-fish allowed in. one's possession and the man Der in which they may be captured appears in the Department's regulations. An angler may take bait-fish, usually min- nows in this area for personal use by means of a dip-net which is not more than three feet square or three feet in diameter. A bait-fish trap which is not greater than twenty inches in length or twelve inches in diameter may be used but an angler may not have more than fifty live bait-fish in his possession at one time during the period April 1 to October 14, or more than an aggregate weight of forty pounds of bait-fish during the period from October 15 to March 31. A GREAT TRAINER LOST The death of one of, the greatest characters in the history of the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey team occurred at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, Friday. Thomas Michael Daley, better known as Tim, was the Leaf trainer from their 'inception in 1926 to his retirement only eight years ago. Previous to his career with the Leafs he handled the training chores for their predecessors, the Arenas and St. Pats. Daly, who died at the age of 84, also trained the Maple Leafs in the International Baseball league from 1911 to 1948, except for two seasons with the Detroit Tigers in 1920-21 and the 1012 World Series with the New fork Giants. As a trainer, Tim was never accused of pam- pering his athletes, When hockey players complained of muscular aches, he usually advised them "to skate it out's He never approved too much of the compli- cated apparatus used by today's skilled trainers. His most ingenious ministrations to the ailing and in- jured were ice packs and smelling salts. If a player Was injured on the ice he was restored by pumping his legs. While the popular Leaf trainer probably came in contact with more professional hockey players than anyone else in his long career he had difficulty remembering players' names and came up with some variations of medical terms. He described injured players as having 'torn "knee linaments" and re- ferred to a veteran who was slowing down as suffer- itig from "hardening of the articles," NOT IN CONDITION.

The Bank Boys walked off with all the honors for the 1967-68. season in the Exeter and district Rec hockey league. The Bankers, winners of the regular season title, continued their winning ways by swamping the Crediton Tigers 10-1 at the arena Sunday night to sweep the championship series in two straight games. While the local Rec titles are in the bag, the Bankers are in for further competition as they have been challenged to an extra playoff series by the winners of the Zurich Rec league. The Dashwood Bears downed the Zurich Kings 7-5 before 1,000 fans in Zurich on the weekend to take the championship series four games to three and will now take on the Exeter Rec league winners.

Mitchell has wen twice on Exeter ice and the local Hawks have one victory to their credit in Mitchell. Fan support for the series to date has.heen terrific with more than 6,300 fans flocking through the turnstiles to witness, the first five games. In most of the games it has been difficult to determine from the roar from the crowd as to which club has scored because the visiting fans have been al- most as great in number as the home numbers. After the first two losses, Ex- eter coach Terry Bourne shuf-, fled his lineup and came up with winning combinations. When in- formed moments before the third game started that different ref-, erees were in for the game, coach Bourne said, "It won't be only the referees that have been shaken up for this game." This could have been the under- statement of the year as three brand new lines were created with defenceman Bill Bourne moving up front from his usual defence position to join Bill Chip- chase and Bill Fairbairn. Scott Burton moved to centre for Jim Hayter and Grant Walker while hard working Rick Mc- Donald teamed up with Larry Laye and Mike Hoy. The change seemed to work wonders as they came up with a total of ten goals and 71 shots on the Mitchell net. After the game one of the players was asked what the coach had told the club and he said, "Nothing, we knew exactly what we had to do and that was win." One of the highlights of the series has been the sensational goal tending turned in at both ends of the rink despite the some- times astronomical amount of Hairpins take Legion dart title The Hairpins have emerged as the new grand champions of the Exeter Legion mixed dart league but they received lots of competition from the Itchy Four and the Cleaner s, defending champs. In Friday's round robin series involving three teams, the Hair- pins moved in front quickly with a 4-1 win over the Cleaners and seemed to be well on the way. In the second round, the Clean- ers edged the Itchy Four crew 3-2 setting the stage for the final series. The Itchy Four were able to come up with a 3-2 win but fell one point short of reversing the final standing. Members of the new champions are John and Annie Link andJohn arid Edna Dietz, Making up the roster of the runner-up Itchy FOur were Gerald and Annie Lawson and Chub and Marj Ed- wards while Reg and VernaStagg and Den and Maddy Wells are mernbers of the Cleaners club.
