The balance of Legion goals were chalked up by Perry Stover, Randy Preszcator and Peter Gill. Bill Inch played a strong game in the Exeter nets, coming up with many sensational stops to keep the Delhi boys from furthering their scoring records. Midgets near group title The Exeter Kinsmen midgets are only one game away from the Shamrock Minor Hockey Association Midget championship. The locals managed by Lorne Haugh and coached by Bill Chipchase downed Lucan 7.1, Friday night for their second consecutive playoff win. The Kin sponsored club has two games remaining against Lambeth and one win would ensure victory in the round robin series. Bob Rowe and Larry Haugh each scored two goals to lead the Exeter scoring attack in the win over Lucan. The balance of goals for the winners were fired in single style by Brian Bestard, Ron Lindenfield and Bill Jennison. During the past week hockey fans in the district got more than their money's worth during playoff action in three different groupings, The full value for your money hockey started at Centralia's Huron Park arena, Tuesday night when the Crediton Tigers edged the Milverton Four Wheel Drives 5-4 in overtime to advance to the final round against the Kincardine Bulldogs. Friday night at the Exeter arena it was the same story with the Exeter Hawks coming up with an overtime goal to shade the New Hamburg Hahns 5-4 and tie the OHA junior "C" final at a game apiece. At Centralia, Sunday afternoon, the Lucan-Ilderton Jets needed an extra 10-minute overtime period to get past the tough Durham Huskies and "you guessed it" the score was 5-4. It's a very unusual situation when consecutive home games of three different district playoff competitors end with the same score and in overtime. A pleasing aspect of the playoffs for all three area clubs has been the fan support they have been getting. At Centralia, Tuesday a crowd of 853 attended the Milverton-Crediton contest, a throng of 959 were on hand for the Hahn-Hawk tilt Friday and close to 800 were on hand to watch the Jets edge Durham at Centralia, Sunday. Hockey Camp Coming Last week's announcement that a hockey training school would be held at Centralia's Industrial Park this summer was a welcome one to boys in the area that are aspiring to increase their hockey training and knowledge. Although the four-week venture at Centralia is basically designed to teaching hockey fundamentals, qualified soccer, baseball and football instructors will be in attendance. The organizer of the local hockey training school is Paul Roach who is player development officer for the Canadian Hockey Foundation. We had a short chat with Roach last week as he was making the official announcement and he said his group of instructors all of university nature would be attempting to teach national hockey philosophy to the boys. Roach went on to say that it has been the desire of all youngsters to make the grade in the National Hockey League and his school will be trying to develop players for future Canadian national hockey clubs. Although not officially connected with Hockey Canada Incorporated, the new body formed to organize national hockey teams in the future, Roach said his school would work toward development of players of national calibre and profits derived from the Centralia venture would be channelled to assist in providing national team hockey scholarships. Called national hockey-sport training camp, the school will be open to boys between the ages of 10 and 16 and will be held from June 30 to August 22. The fee for each boy attending will be $75 per week for full instruction along with full accommodation at Centralia's College of Agricultural Technology. For boys wishing to commute the weekly fee will be $40 including meals. We have checked close to a dozen advertisements of similar hockey schools and camps in the Hockey New and the fees to be charged at Centralia are quite reasonable in comparison. In order to familiarize area boys and their parents with the new sports training centre and hockey school, an Open House is being held on April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The list of coaches that are available at the Centralia school is very formidable and will also include members of Canada's National team and the eastern coach Jack "Red" Bownass. Among the physical fitness experts are Lloyd Percival, Prof. Bill L'Heureux of Western University and Major Danny McLeod of Kingston's Royal Military College. Other hockey coaches will be Ron Watson of the Western Mustangs, Dave Copp, University of Toronto and Jack Costello of Windsor. To take care of baseball tutoring will be Eddie Gillis, a Philadelphia Phillie scout and soccer coaching will be handled by Evans Tannis of St. Michael's College in Toronto. In talking to John Link, manager of the Huron Park arena over the weekend, we find out that additional equipment is being installed in the Randall arena to ensure good ice for the summer months. The ice units are being increased from 75 to 110 horsepower. OHA Intermediate 'B' GROUP FINAL Sunday, March 30 2:00 p.m. HURON PARK Arena — Centralia DURHAM HUSKIES VS.

In the opening G & G waltz over the Bank Boys, Bob MacDonald and Tom Watt each blinked the red light on four occasions.

Scott Burton and Bill Fairbairn have each scored 11 goals to lead the parade while Jim Hayter is close behind with nine goals. G & G wins two straight to take Rec hockey title of scores to the winners total and the balance were contributed in lone style by Walt Tiedeman and Jim Dingwell. Jim "No. 9" Russell was the only Banker to find the scoring range twice and the other goals were fired by Bob Jones and Vic Neil. FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Extra action 011111111t1111111% Graham and Graham came up with two straight wins in the round robin playoffs to take the Exeter and district Rec hockey grand championship after finishing in a tie with the Bank Boys for first place in regular schedule play. The G & G sextet were given first place by the flip of a coin and received a bye in the final round. They started their playoff action with an easy 18-4 romp over the Bank Boys in Thursday's opening game of the finals and came back Sunday night with a 9-3 win over the Old Timers to cinch the title. The Old Timers and Bank Boys will meet in a sudden-death game tonight at eight o'clock to decide the runner-up position. In earlier preliminary play, the Bank Boys edged Huron Park and the Old Timers eliminated the Juveniles. ROUGH BATTLE In Sunday's clincher to give Graham and Graham the league crown, the going was heavy and a couple of fights broke out before order could be restored. Bob MacDonald scored three times to lead the Graham and Graham assault on the Old Timers' net. Close behind with two goals each were Otto Smale and Jack Glover while Craig Davidson and Don Crawford each checked in with single scores. Scoring in single fashion for the Old Timers were Larry Willert, Vic Fulcher and Don Campbell. Dart crown to Hairpins The Hairpins, second place finishers in the regular schedule of the Exeter Legion mixed dart league emerged as grand playoff champions. In a final round robin playoff set, the Hairpins downed the Hell Cats 4-1 and the Dark Angels 3-2 to take the title. In the other round robin game, the Dark Angels rapped the Hell Cats 4-1. Champions of regular season play, the Dart Sharks were eliminated in a preliminary round. The roster of the champion Hairpins comprise of John and Anna Link and John and Edna Dietz. Personnel of the runner-up Dark Angels include Eric and Terry Heywood and Keith and Norma Brintnell while Bob and Marg Wragg and Bill and Jan Fisher were members of the Hell Cats. Team and individual awards will be presented at the league's annual banquet to be held at the Legion Hall on April 12. Curlers decide final winner Regular play in the third draw of the Exeter men's curling club was completed last week and the semi-final playoff round was completed, Sunday. In a semi-final game, Sunday night, Monday's winning rink skipped by Jim Hewitt downed Tuesday's schedule champion headed by Jim MacDonald. Hewitt's rink will meet Glenn Fisher's aggregation for the championship later this week. Fisher and his crew were crowned Thursday's winners and received a bye into the finals on the strength of 56 points massed during the five-week schedule, Last week's scores were as follows: Learn 11 - Webber 7 J. MacDonald 11 - Easton 3 Lavier 7 Dougall 6 K. McDonald 7 - Prout 3 McArthur 11 - Marks 7 Urquhart 7 • Borland 3 Fisher 8 • Marshall 5 McCarter ,9 - P. Coates 4 Cann 9 - POwe Hewitt 13 - Alexander 2 Raymond 7 - Kraft 7 R. Hodgert 11- MacLean 4 Jermyn 9 - Murley 3 In the first four games of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "C" western grouping final against the New Hamburg Hahns, the Exeter Hawks have proved they like the confines of their home arena. The Hawks have rallied in each of their two home games to tie the series, but must win at least one game on foreign ice to advance farther down the playoff trail. Coached by Terry Bourne, the Hawks have given their loyal fans plenty to cheer about at home but seem to fold in the latter stages of all games played in New Hamburg. In the opening game of the best-of-seven group final played in New Hamburg, Wednesday the Hahns chalked up a 8-3 win. It was the Hawks turn at the Exeter arena, Friday night as they edged the visitors 5-4 in overtime. Back in New Hamburg, Saturday it was a repeat of the opening game with the Hahns wrapping up a decisive 7-1 win on the strength of a third period rally. On Exeter ice, Tuesday, the Hawks came on stronger as the game progressed and were victorious 7-5. The fifth game was played in New Hamburg last night, Wednesday with the sixth slated for the Exeter arena, Friday night at 8:30. If a seventh and deciding game is necessary it will go at the New Hamburg arena Saturday night at 8:30. The winner of the Hahns-Hawks battle will take on the Woodstock Navy Vets in the next OHA playoff round. HOLDING THEIR OWN Despite suffering two fairly lopsided losses in New Hamburg as far as the scoreboard is concerned, the Hawks held their own for the first two periods in each case and were only down two goals heading for the last 20 minutes of play. On home ice, the Hawks have held a good edge in territorial play and have missed a lot of goals due to some erratic shooting. In he last ten minutes of play in Tuesday's game, the locals with a two goal edge kept up a steady pattern of fore checking that kept the Hahns pretty well bottled up and were continually dumping the puck out centre to relieve the pressure. In Friday's win, the Hawks missed a lot of scoring opportunities, especially in the second and third periods when they carried the play to the visitors. Goalies Glenn Stire and Jim Glavin have each been instrumental in keeping the Hawks in the series to date. Stire was solid in the nets, Tuesday and Glavin came up with many good stops in Friday's exciting contest, especially in the last eight seconds of play when he blocked a shot from Gary Stockie on a breakaway and smothered the rebound. The Hahns have been first to hit the scoreboard in three of the four games played, twice notching the first goal the first minute of play. In the first game on New Hamburg ice, Wednesday, the Hahns scored from the opening face-off and Tuesday night, they Page 6 Times-Advocate, March 27, 1909. Sixth game here Friday For the second time in a couple of weeks, the Exeter Legion Bantams have battled back from the brink of elimination in Ontario Minor Hockey Association Bantam "B" playoff action and have a good shot at the provincial championship. Dropping the first game of the OMHA fourth round play to Delhi 8.3 in the tobacco town more than a week ago, the local youngsters came on with a strong performance Saturday night on home ice to trounce the same Delhi club 10.4 and force a third and deciding game. The crucial game was played at the Exeter arena last night, Wednesday and the winner advances to the Ontario final against either Huntsville or Penetang. In an earlier set against Blenheim, the locals were forced to come up with two straight wins to stay in contention. STRONG 'SKATING HELPS On home ice, Saturday night, the Legion sponsored boys handled by Gary Middleton and Bill Gilfillan outskated their Delhi opposition from the opening whistle to chalk up the victory. Pete Glover found the scoring range on no less than four occasions to lead the Exeter scoring attack. Robbie Lindenfield wasn't far behind, Home ice could be important factor HAWKS, HAHNS ALL SQUARED UP turned the trick in only 35 seconds. BATTLE BACK Tuesday's come from behind 7.5 win was typical of their year-long refusal to give up when down a couple of goals. Lyle Harmer's goal early in — Please turn to Page 7
