S till on

Last week in this column we made our annual
predictions. on the outcome of TPplg Sated* play in
the 1968-69- season of the National Hockey league, but
were only able to cover the eastern division with A
rundown ..and reasons for our choices. The western
division summarY. follows.,
Good Gosling
Can you. imagine Glenn Hall and Jacques Plante.
On the same hockey team? This is the situation the St.
Louis Blues find themselves in this. year and one of the
main reasons we picked them to finish first among the
newly established Clubs.
A few years .ago, the combination of Hall. and
Plante would have assured almost any club of sweeping
right through to the Stanley Cup championship in
record time.
Although Plante was in retirement for three years
at 39 years of age he is considerably younger than
Johnny Bower of the Leafs and only two years older
than Hall, who turned in amazing performances in last
year's final.
The Blues also have .a solid defensive team headed
by the rough and tough Plager brothers, Doug Harvey,
Noel Picard, Jim ,Roberts, Al Arbour and Jean-Guy
Talbot,
Next to Bower, Harvey at 44 is the oldest player
in the league, but still an excellent stick checker.
The St, Louis scoring attack has certainly been
helped with the acquisition of Al? McDonald and
Camille 1-lenry in the off-season. McDonald and Henry,
along with Gary Sabourin and Red Berenson are four of
the top scorers in the western division at the moment.
Rough Defence
The Los Angeles Kings have two things going for
them this year, a rough, tough defence and a young
bunch of players.
One of the toughest defenceman on Red Kelly's
club is Larry Cahan, the only player on the club over 30
years of age. Six King performers are within a year or
• two of 30, but the balance are 25 or under.
Dave Amadio led the Kings in penalties last year
with 101 minutes, only one minute more than the time
served by team-mate Bill White. Their forward attack
will be led by fellows like Bill Flett, Eddie Joyal, Lowell
McDonald and Jim Peters.
• A recent acquisition from the Boston Bruins, Skip
Krake is proving quite valuable. Obtained primarily as a
penalty killer, Krake picked up seven points in the first
eight Los Angeles games.
Nationals Will Help
•
helped by the appearance of some of last year's
The Minnesota North Stars are bound to be
Canadian National team in their line-up. At the moment
only Danny O'Shea is seeing regular duty with the
North Stars but the others in the system will probably
be up later.
O'Shea is certainly holding his own in the big
• leagues, especially in the playmaking department. He
picked up seven assists in the first 10 games.
Barry MacKenzie, who was the hard rock of the
Canadian team last year filled in capably for three
games when Mike McMahon was injured a couple of
weeks ago.
Beefing up the defence for Wren Blair's team will
• be fellows like Bob McCord, Wayne Hillman and Elmer
Vasko in front of capable netminder Cesare Maniago.'
Hopes Come True
Before the season started, general manager Bud
Poile and coach Keith Allen said they were grooming
• their new line from the Quebec Aces for a top spot in
the Philadelphia Flyer scoring attack.
The new trio composed of Simon Nolet, Andre
Lacroix and Guy Gendron are proving they belong in
the big leagues as they compiled a total of 18 points in
the first 10 games played by the Philadelphia club.
Poile has a good goal tending combination in a
couple of comparitively young men, Bernie Parent and
Doug Favell. The team is reasonably strong in all
departments with solid defence performances expected
from Ed Van Impe and Joe Watson.
Relying on Veterans
Coach Red Sullivan at Pittsburgh seems to be
relying pretty well on experienced performers for the
nucleus of his club, mostly from his former club, the
New York Rangers.
A total of eight former New Yorkers are on the
Pittsburgh roster. The best known of these are Andy
• Bathgate, Lou Angotti, Earl Ingarfield and Val
Fonteyne. At the moment Bathgate is working back
into shape with Vancouver of the Western league.
• The Penguins also picked up veterans Charlie
Burns and Wally Boyer from Oakland in the off-season.
In the Pittsburgh goal is the native of Walkerton,
Les Binkley who has been turning in outstanding
performances. The mainstays of the Pittsburgh defence
are Leo Boivin, John Arbour, Noel Price and Bob
Woytowich,
The Penguins are giving their mascot, Pete the
Penguin skating lessons but it is doubtful if he will be
much help to the club in scoring goals.
6
Lots of Changes
The roster of the Oakland Seals has undergone
many changes since last spring with only about half the
players back for another term, In the first move, Fred
Glover was brought in from the Cleveland Barons to
coach and trades were made with Detoit and Montreal.
Goal is about the only position where no changes
were Made. The small Charlie Hodge at 5-foot-six and
the tall Gary Smith at 6-foot-four will give Glover's club
adequate netininding.
A most interesting addition is hard-working
controversial Bryan Watson, fie s a versatile player who
can knock heads together while playing either defence
or forward, He is most famous as "The Shadow" who
Made a career of Stitking to Chicago's Bobby Hull while
playing for Detroit,
Last year Watson came into his own and was
named the Most valuable player in the Central pro
league While playing with tionstan.

REPEAT AS HURON-PERTH SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPS —
The South Huron Panthers came up with their finest football
performances of the season in Goderich Thursday to bring the
Huron-Perth Conference trophy to the local school for the second
consecutive year. The team is shown above. Back, from left, Dennis
Bierling, Kevin McKinnon, Larry Smith, David Frayne, Bill Bourne,

Tigers take decisive win
in first WOAA "C" start
The South 1-14rPri l'414.herS,
successfully .defended their.
Huron-Perth Conference .senior
football championship. in
Goderich,, Thursday by chalking
up .a convincing 4..5: ruin ..over
the.Codericii
With plenty .0'0*P and a
eheering section of more than
700 fellow students, the
Panthers more than made
amends for an earlier 30-3
exhibition loss to the same
Goderich team,.
The intense play of the
panthers. proved .Coach Ron
Bogart to ke an excellent
prophet. Before the game,
Bogart said .his club was ""up"
for the game and it would be
much different from the game a
month earlier that 4idn't mean
anything.
-The entire club was fired up
for the game. The blockers
opened up. good holes in the
Goderich defence and the
backfielders were able to follow
the blocking to .perfeetion,
In. talking about his elub!s
sensational win, Bogart. said,
"This. was a more satisfying win
than last year. We may have had
a little less depth, but we.
performed better on the whole
than we did a year ago. Our
team spirit was tops. Some of
the boys were hurting, but they
refused to come out of the
game. We owe a lot to the
student body for their great
support in the final game."
TAKE COMMAND EARLY
The desire of the Panthers
showed on the first sequence of
plays in the game. After the first
two plays from scrimmage failed
to produce a first down, Scott
Burton kicked to the Vikings
but the Goderich defender
fumbled when hit hard and an
alert Barry Baynham recovered
the ball for South Huron on the
Goderich 38.
Burton went to the air
quickly. He hit Bill Bourne for
nine yards and then found Kevin
McKinnon in the clear with a
sharp pass to put six points on
the scoreboard for the Panthers.
Bill Fairbairn booted the convert
right through the middle.
The Vikings came back to
score a touchdown on the last
play of the first quarter with
Doug Keene carrying over from
six yards out. The convert
attempt failed.
In the second quarter,
Panther signal caller Scott
Burton hit Barry Baynham with
a perfect pass that covered 55
yards into the Goderich end
In a pair of tripleheaders
played in a space of two days
last week, the Exeter minor
hockey teams gained a slight
edge over their counterparts
from Lucan, taking eight of a
possible 12 points.
On Exeter ice Wednesday, the
two pee wee clubs played to a
3-3 tie, the Exeter bantams
romped to an easy 10.0 decision
and the local midgets edged the
Lucan Boys 6-5.
Back at the Lucan arena,
Friday, the Irish kids took a
convincing 5-1 decision in the
pee wee contest, the Exeter
bantams won again this time
14-0 and the two midget clubs
battled to a 4-4 draw.
LOSE EARLY LEAD
In the Wednesday pee wee
contest, Brian Taylor scored the
only first period goal to put the
Exeter club in front and Rick
Stagg found the range in the
second to up the goal margin to
two.
The Lucan kids bounced back
and had the score tied by the
midway mark of the third
period on goals by Randy
English and J. Benn.
Brian Penhale took a pass
from captain John Gould at
11.32 of the closing session and
scored what could have been the
winning marker. With less than a
minute to go, R. Kraul picked a
corner of the net behind Eugene
Glavin to give the Irish boys a
tie.
Wayne Regier was the only
Exeter marksman in Friday's 5-1
Exeter loss in Lucan.
