Of immediate interest Jim Hewitt and his Exeter rink are representing district 13 in the British Consols playdowns at the Ivanhoe in London this week. The winner of this competition will represent Southern Ontario at the McDonald Brier, the Canadian National curling championship tourney to be held in Oshawa in March, The eventual Canadian winner advances to the World championships to be held in Scotland, The Hewitt rink that includes Jim Finnen and Bob and Paul Coates played their first two rounds in London yesterday, Wednesday and will be continuing today if they were successful in winning at least one of their first two contests. Paul Coates, who is the lead curler for the Hewitt aggregation is a replacement for vice-skip Gerry Finnen who is unable to participate in the London event because of previous business commitments. Bob Coates the original second man on the rink has moved up to take over the vice-skip duties and Jim Finnen steps up to second. The Ivanhoe event has drawn some of the top names in curling in Ontario. Included on the list are Alfie Phillips of Toronto, Dr. Don Gilbert, Ken Buchan and Joe Girowka. The London curling rink has a seating capacity in excess of 750 and admission is free to the four day event. We expect to attend one or two of the games to cheer our local representatives on. The second group of male curlers, headed by Lee Webber are in the Ontario Massey -Ferguson final at Brampton on February 12 and 13 against five other rinks from the province. Included on the Webber rink are Gord McCarter, Lloyd Ballantyne and Ross Hodgert. If the locals are successful in capturing the Brampton event they get an all-expense trip to the Canadian final in Calgary, The Webber aggregation earned the right to the provincial championship by taking the district title in St. Marys a week ago. To round out what seems to be a perfect season, Helen Burton takes her rink to the Ontario Ladies provincial championship in Toronto on February 23. With the help of her team-mates, Ellen Knight, Pauline Simmons and Lois Learn, Burton wrapped up the district 3 championship a few weeks ago. The ladies are not quite as fortunate as their male counterparts as they do not advance to a Canadian final, even if they win the title in Toronto. A recent break from the Canadian Women's Curling Federation does not allow the Ontario winner to advance in further competition. We would like to wish all three Exeter rinks the best of luck in their bid for provincial and dominion championships. Their showing this,year in district play certainly points up the excellent calibre of curling being turned in at the local rink. Skating Carnival Coming Plans for the annual carnival of the Exeter Figure Skating Club are being quickly formulated by club officials. The always popular event will be held at the Exeter arena on Saturday, February 22 at eight o'clock. Entitled "Spring Time '69", the show will feature all of the more than 100 young skaters under the direction of club pro, Mrs. Faye McDonald. Highlighting the event will be the appearance of a novice dance pair from St. Thomas Judy Carrah and Keith Caughell. Clowns nip Panther five A touring basketball team, the Harlem Aces entertained more than 500 fans and their opposition, the South Huron senior Panthers at the SHDHS gym, Monday night. While the entire game was filled with antics and trick shots, the Aces outpointed the locals 95-84 in a free scoring contest. Ross Huff and Uilke Nagel of the Panthers scored 27 and 22 points, respectively while Bill Fairbairn playing opposite clown Rip Collins of the visitors notched an even dozen points. Basketballers lose two tilts The South Huron District High School boys basketball teams suffered a double loss against opposition from St. Marys Collegiate in a twin bill played last week in the Perth County town. The senior Panthers were on the short end of a 59-34 count and the junior Cubs were outscored 43-24. In the senior contest, St. Marys took a commanding 36-13 lead at half time only in the third quarter were the Panthers able to get going outscoring the home team 15-10. Uilke Nagel was the top Panther performer with 17 points to his credit, Ross Huff checked in with a 13 point total, Dave Marshall scored two points and Bob Rowe and Pete Cook each tossed in a free throw.
