FOR ALL. GOOD SPORTS.
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 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.
