The Hawks came up with an excellent performance Friday night on home ice in edging the Preston Raiders 3-2, but dropped a 6-4 decision to the same club in Preston, Saturday night. The split in the Preston series leaves the Hawks three points back of the New Hamburg club. They next see action in a two o'clock game on Boxing Day afternoon at the Exeter arena against the Hespeler Shamrocks and travel to Hespeler Sunday for a return engagement. One of the most important series of the season will bring the Hawks and New Hamburg Hahns together the following week. They meet in NeNk Hamburg on January 3 and are right back at the Exeter arena on Saturday, January 4 as the wind-up game in the local observance of Minor Hockey Week. HAYTER GETS WINNER A goal from the stick of Jim Hayter with less than five minutes to go in the game gave the Hawks, a 3-2 win over Preston in Exeter Friday. In the best played game of the season on Exeter ice, the two clubs played a scoreless first period. Jim Leonard opened the scoring for the visitors early in the second period and Bill Bourne was quick to tie the score as he completed a three-way passing play with Larry Laye and Jim Hayter. The third period began in a similar fashion with Ted Geortzow scoring for Preston in the first minute. This time it took the Hawks a little longer to get the equalizer. Bill Fairbairn knotted the count at 2-2 with an unassisted effort and set the stage for Hayter's winning score. Barry Baynham started the winning play by carrying the puck well into Preston territory and sliding a pass near the net that the Hayter was able to tip in. The Hawks held a good edge in territorial play in the third period when they came on strong to cinch the victory.

On. both the local and national scene. There is no question in our minds as to the top international sports happening, It has .t.c, be the great come-from-behind World Series win of the Detroit Tigers. It's no secret that. this corner has been solidly behind the Tigers for many a moon. We were very fortunate in being .able to spend four days in Detroit and get in on a lot of the ,exciting atmosphere. It was a tremendous thrill that we will never forget. The welcome and courtesies handed out by the Tigers and the Baseball Writers of America. were wonderful and the co-operation of most of the players was excellent. Locally, several championship efforts are more. than worthy of mention. The South Huron Panthers senior football team won the Huron-Perth Conference championShip for the second consecutive year in what could be called a come-from-behind fashion. The decisive final victory was accornpliShed in Goderich against the Vikings who had taken an easy exhibition win several weeks earlier. The Panther win only proves what a fired-up band of youngsters can do in a sudden-death game against a club of over confident competitors. • Coach Ron Bogart said after the game he probably didn't have a better club than last year, maybe a little thinner in reserves but a club that wanted to win. The South Huron student body and teaching staff also contributed much to the team's win. For the final game in Goderich more than 700 students and most of the teachers were in attendance and made more noise than the home team supporters. Another Tiger Win The highlight of the baseball season locally, was the Dashwood Tigers' drive to the all-Ontario Intermediate "D" championship. The Tigers composed entirely of young ball players capably managed by Glenn Webb won the Huron-Perth "D" title and after taking care of Walsingham and. Mattice to wrap up the provincial title polished off the over-all H-P crown.. Tigers Win In Hockey, Too. Baseball isn't the only sport a Tiger team came up with an excellent performance. We are now speaking of the Crediton Tigers who won the Western • Ontario Athletic Association Intermediate Grand Hockey championship last spring. This club in its first year of official competition used players from the entire district in taking all the marbles in the WOAA and - have. moved up a step this year, competing in a tough "C" grouping. Hawks Came Close While still on hockey we can't forget the courageous playoff performance put on by the Exeter Hawks in extending Mitchell to the limit in the OHA Junior "D" playoffs. This is another club that has moved up a notch, now playing in "C" company and doing very well. At the moment under the guidance of Bob Baynham and Terry Bourne it is holding down second place in a strong league. They Are Not Forgotten While plaudits go out to those that win championships or come close we should never forget some of the men that make these triumphs possible. These are the coaches, managers and any one involved in minor sports. Right now, we have in mind the executive and managers and coaches of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association. They are the fellows who spend countless hours and dollars in keeping a very successful minor hockey program in operation, making good local hockey teams possible in the future. One way we can repay them for their efforts is by attending the local observance of Minor Hockey Week on Saturday, January 4. A full day of hockey action starting with house league play at eight o'clock in the morning will conclude with a top junior "C" game at 8:30 in the evening pitting the New Hamburg Hahns against the local junior Hawks. All of this exciting action is available for one dollar for adults and fifty cents for children. Spectators may come and go anytime during the day on the one admission. In conclusion we would like to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. If during the coming year of 1969 you can't play a sport at least BE A SPORT, WOAA INT.
