By Ross Haugh Exciting show A top sports attraction is coming to Exeter next Monday night. A touring negro basketball team, the Harlem Aces will be at the South Huron District High School gymnasium to take on the South Huron senior Panthers in an exhibiton game. This team is an affiliate of the famous Globe Trotters and features top cage stars and trick artists. They have all kinds of comedy routines that are sure to please the fans. While accommodation at the school for an event of this nature will cause some problems, athletic director Ron Bogart has informed us that tickets will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. Bogart estimates that a crowd of close to 500 can be handled. Tickets bought in advance will be one dollar for students and a dollar and a quarter for adults. If any tickets are left by the time the show gets underway the prices will rise by twenty-five cents. Tickets go on sale at the SHDHS office, just inside the main entrance, to-day, Thursday. The same Harlem team was in Listowel a year ago and according to officials there were a huge success. They will be back in Listowel, Tuesday night. While the touring stars are top flight basketball players their main concern is to entertain the spectators. Any time we have seen this type of team in action they do just that and never run up too high a score on the opposition. The local school athletic director said Glenn Mickle's senior Panthers have volunteered to be the "guinea pigs" and provide the opposition for the visitors. This is a show that is well worth seeing at a reasonable admission price. Get your tickets fast, while they last. It Was An Expensive Project Coverage of the Olympic Games for 18 days last - October in Mexico City cost the Crown-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about $39,000 a day. Commons returns last week gave total direct cost of radio and television coverage in English, French and overseas services, as "approximately $930,000." Commercial sponsors of Olympics coverage was billed for $315,000 of which $84,000 went to privately-owned affiliate stations and $231,000 was retained by the CBC. Net cost thus becomes about $699,000. Figures were provided by the CBC to State Secretary Gerard Pelletier for replies to three members of parliament who had questioned the cost of the project. The CBC sent a total of 108 employees to Mexico for the October 10-27 games to work directly on Canadian coverage, hired three Canadians and a Briton "as analyst, researcher and commentators" and recruited 48 others in Mexico to provide general services including messengers, typists, drivers and interpreters. Another 23 CBC personnel worked under contract for American Broadcasting Company which held the North American Broadcasting rights. On first thought the net cost of $699,000 may seem like a lot of money to spend on beaming home sportcasts from another country, but the actual cost to every one of the nearly 21 million residents of our country would only be a trifle over three cents. The telecasts were well done and covered every aspect of the Games and we're sure everybody that watched at least some of the events would feel it was worth spending three cents of our tax money. Playoffs Rolling Around While it looks like winter will be with us for a while yet, playoff time for most hockey teams is just around the corner. Officials of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association have received word from the OMHA that local pee wee, bantam and midget teams are to meet St. Marys in the first round of provincial playdowns. While dates have not yet been set, it is expected, best-of-three series in each instance will start next week as a winner is necessary by February 16. The local pee wees and bantams look like they should take their opposition from the Stone Town and the midgets have shown great improvement in recent weeks. So, a clean sweep of the playoff rounds with St. Marys is a very distinct possibility. Playoff time is also quickly approaching for the Exeter junior Hawks with only six games left on the regular schedule. The Hawks have been in a bit of a slump lately, but this is a good time of the year to have a slight recession in order to gain momentum for the playoff grind. Playoff competition in the district junior grouping will certainly be tough for the locals. Preston and Elmira have strengthened their teams considerably in recent weeks, coming up with a new player or two each time they have been in town. The acquisition of Bob Goring, a London juvenile is going to help the Hawks immensely. In his first two starts, Goring scored a goal each time and looked like a real hustler.

The Crediton club scored four times in the first period and were never seriously threatened. Fred Lamb blinked the light on two occasions in the first twenty minutes of play and Bob Pinter and Ken Fraser added singles. Paul Young completed the scoring chores for Crediton with a goal in each of the second and third sessions. John McTavish notched the lone Wingham counter in the second period.

Bruce Boyes was the top Clinton scorer with four goals to his credit and Bob Livermore gained a hat trick.

The Cleaners hold down SH wrestlers in tie for first The battle for supremacy in the Huron-Perth conference high school wrestling circles is a close one between South Huron District High School and St. Marys Collegiate. • The two schools are tied for first place. and a meet in St. Marys, Tuesday failed to settle the issue as they battled to a 31-31 draw.

The Exeter Hawks were only able to come up with one point in Ontario Hockey Association Junior "C" play in two starts over the weekend and now trail the first place New Hamburg Hahns by eight points. The Hawks lost a close 4.3 decision to the Preston Raiders on Exeter ice Friday night and were able to come up with a last period goal on Sunday afternoon, also on home ice to hold the Elmira Kings to a 4.4 tie. This week's schedule has the Exeter club at home to the Hespeler Shamrocks on Friday night and a Sunday afternoon trip to Elmira for .a return engagement with the Junior Kings. ROUGH CONTEST Sunday's contest between the Hawks and Elmira that ended in a 4.4 tie was one of the chippiest and roughest of the season with several fights and a stick-swinging episode. Defenceman Bill Wright of the Elmira club received a game misconduct midway through the second period after he struck Bill Bourne of the locals on the shoulder and head with his stick. The same incident produced a fight between Bourne and the visiting goalie, Bill Woytowich. A total of 32 penalties, 17 to the locals were handed out by referees Bill Walsh and Bill Toll of Stratford. More than half of the misdemeanors in the entire contest were called in the rough and ready second period. The many penalties, actually had little effect on the scoring. Neither team was able to score with an advantage, although both scored on one occasion with a disadvantage in manpower. While the first period ended with the score ties at 2-2, the Elmira boys took a two goal lead in the first 11 minutes before the Hawks were able to make an impression on the scoreboard. Gary Sittler and captain Dennis Brubacher were the early Elmira goal getters. A neat three-way passing play produced the first Exeter marker at 13.32. The newest member of the club, Bob Goring took passes from Pete Lawson and Jim Hayter and put the puck behind Bill Woytowich in the Elmira cage. Goring's successful shot was a blazer, only a couple inches off the ice. Less than a minute later, the score was all knotted up as Lawson deflected in a pass from Hayter. Only two goals were scored in the middle frame as most of the action was to and from the penalty box. Steve Harnock put Elmira ahead 3-2 at 8.11 with the teams playing five aside. With a Hawk player sitting fourth spot with an even 50 points followed by the Snappers and Dark Angels with respective scores of 45 and 44. The individual scoring leaders remain unchanged with John Link leading the men's division with 30 victories to his credit and Marj Edwards has 20 to head up the ladies scoring. Last week's scores were: Dart Sharks 5 - Hell Cats 0 Cleaners 5 - Four B's 0 Dark Angels 5 - Hot Shots 0 Snappers 5 - Shiphunters 0 Hairpins 3 - Itchy Four 2 Featherflights 3 - Canners 2 °tit a two minute infraction shortly after the halfway mark, Bill Fairbairn scored the equalizer with Scott Burton providing the assist. The third period was only two minutes old when Paul Molson put the Elmira club in front for the third time in the game. With. two Hawks and one King in the penalty box near the 14 minute mark, Scott Burton broke loose at centre ice and waltzed in all alone to score the fourth Hawk goal of the game and give each club a single point for their afternoon's work. SCORE EARLY, LATE Two goals in the first eight minutes of the game and another pair of scores in the last four minutes were enough to propel the Preston Raiders to the 4.3 win over the Hawks, Friday, The Hawks held a good margin in play in the balance of the game and were able to score three times to take a temporary lead but were frequently foiled by the great goal tending of Chuck Schultz in the Preston nets. Schultz was a late cut of the St. Catharines Black Hawks of the OHA Junior "A" league. Grant Whittaker and Larry Weber were on the firing end of the. early Preston scores. Grant Walker culminated a three-way passing effort with Bill Fairbairn and" Pete Lawson to score the first Exeter goal near the end of the first period. Two quick goals, only three. minutes apart in the middle frame enabled the Hawks to take a 3-2 edge on the scoreboard. Bob Goring registered the first on a play originated by Scott Burton and Bill Fairbairn fired the go-ahead marker with Goring assisting. Jeff Marriott and Jeff Jacques each scored for the visiting Raiders in a space of less than 40 seconds late in the third period to salt away the win. STANDINGS W L T Pts.
