START EARLY The senior Panthers wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard in Clinton, Thursday. On the first play from scrimmage, Barry Baynham took a forward pass and went 80 yards for the first six-pointer of the afternoon. Late in the first quarter, Dave Marshall scored his first of two touchdowns on a one-yard carry after gaining 20 yards on three previous carries. Ron Corriveau split the uprights with the convert boot and the Panthers were in front 13-0. In the second period, the Panthers scored three touchdowns on short yardage plays. Dave Marshall and Ron Janke each scored from one yard out and Tom Prout carried two yards for his major score. Janke kicked a single point and Corriveau added another convert to put South Huron in front 33-0 at half-time. Tom Prout intercepted a Clinton pass in the third quarter and came back six yards for a touchdown. Early in the fourth, Prout recovered a fumble on the Clinton two-yard line and carried in two plays later for his third touchdown of the game. Corriveau booted his third extra point of the day. On the fourth last play of the game, the Panthers stalwart lineman Dan Shoebottom recovered another Clinton fumble on the one-yard line. Coach Ron Bogart quickly switched Shoebottom to a fullback position and the Centralia youngster, playing his last game for the local school carried over for a touchdown to complete the scoring for the day. The South Huron defensive line had a tremendous day forcing the Clinton boys to lose 46 yards on 25 attempts through the line. The Clinton club gained 45 yards on South Huron penalties giving them a net loss of one yard on the day.

The 1969-70 season of the National Hockey League isn't far enough advanced as yet to answer a question that was posed before the schedule got underway by fans and players, especially goal tenders. The cinery was, "Will the new ban on curved sticks restrict scoring this season." The new NHL rule regarding curved sticks reads as follows, "The curvature of the blade of the stick shall be restricted in such a way that the distance of a perpendicular line measured from a straight line drawn between the heel and the end of the blade to the point of maximum curvature shall not exceed one inch." Last year it read one and a half inches. This Would mean that Bobby Hull's banana blade will look a little less like a shillelagh and presumably will have less velocity ,and less changes in direction on shots, if and when he returns to the Chicago line-up. The goal tenders will probably be more relieved than anyone with the change in the stick regulations. They &have been complaining, "If Hull or Vic Hadfield, the moserenown of the curved stick artists, don't even know where they are shooting the puck, how are we supposed to have a chance in stopping it?" The knuckle ball situation in baseball is quite similar to the curved stick. When Ralph Kiner was at his best with the Pittsburgh he used to say about Hoyt Wilhelm's knuckler, "The catcher can't even catch the bloody thing, how am I supposed to hit it." When the Chicago Black Hawks led by Hull and Stan Mikita first introduced the curved blades in 1961-62, they were. looked upon as freaks. With the scoring success of the Hawk stars, other players started experimenting with it and in many cases adopted the crazy looking curved stick. Last season, a check of the NHL records showed that of the first 25 point producers in the league, nine were renowned users of the curved stick and a few others were marginal cases. They included NHL point champion Phil Esposito, who set an all-time point record with 126 points, Hull who scored a record 58 goals and Stan Mikita who scored 97 points. Others successful with the banana blade were Ken Hodge of Boston who came up with 90 points, Rod Gilbert of the Rangers with 77 points and 30-goal scorer Jim Pappin of the same Chicago club. The only argument against the success of the curved stick was the performance of Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings. Howe, who keeps rolling along at the age of 41 finished third in the league standings with 103 points, gained with a conventional hockey stick. The craze for curved sticks spread quickly to the ranks of minor hockey with youngsters trying to emulate the Hull's and Mikita's but not too many found the .04„cess they hoped for. We asked arena manager Alvin Willert about the use of curved sticks by participants in the Exeter Minor Hockey Association and were told "the use of the curved stick dropped off a bit near the end of last season." Willert estimated only about one-quarter of the local pee wee players used a curved stick while in older boys the percentage could be as high as 50. The local arena manager also said that there has been a recent change in most of the sticks that are being used. About two-thirds of the blade is straight with the curve coming near the end. On the pro scene, the new ruling is probably a victory for the Toronto Maple Leafs and' Montreal Canadiens. Both clubs had long campaigned against the new sticks. Toe Blake, when he was coach of the Canadiens even had a rule against the curved sticks and traded a couple of players because they insisted on using them. . Jean Beliveau said he tried the curved stick for a couple of exhibition games but couldn't get used to it. Beliveau went on to say, "Maurice Richard scored 544 goals with a straight stick and let me tell you something about that. If he had used a curved stick he would not have scored half as many goals. He was a left hand shot playing right wing and most of his goals were scored on backhand shots." Jacques Plante, co-winner of the Vezina trophy last year had a pertinent observation about the new ruling on curved sticks, "It has to help the goal tenders, if only mentally. I don't really think that lowering the pitching mound helped the hitters so much in baseball this year, but look at the increases in hitting. It's a mental thing. Now the goalie will feel that there is some restriction of those awful sticks and the players will have to get used to new sticks. I think this will help us more than anything else." SQUIRTS (11-12 ON SAT) Danny Bell, David Bell, Steven Wells, Peter Martene, Doug Fletcher, Steven Horn, SIGN on a milk truck: "Our cows are not contented! They're anxious to do better." Minor hockey will start this Saturday and there are some great changes over last year. With the increase registration in the novice class this year four teams compared to the two we had last year, more ice time is needed. So for the first few weeks on a trial basis Pee Wee houseleague will play on Saturday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. followed by public skating from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The novice games will be played from 9 to 11 a.m. with the squirts and mites taking to the ice from 11 to 12 (no change here). Bantam houseleague although it will not start this week is slated for the 8-9 a.m. time. To kick off this minor hockey season at 9 a.m. we will put the No. 1 novice team captained by Brian Horrell against the No. 2 team whose captain is Perry Pooley. At 10 a.m. the No. 3 team captained by Paul Pooley will play the No. 4 team captained by Laurie Skinner. Check the player lists to find out which team you are on. If your name is missing call 235-2833. Captains and players will pick names for their teams on Saturday but this week we will use numbers. Mites and Squirts as was mentioned before play from 11 to 12 noon and here again if your name is omitteed give the arena a call or come on Saturday and you will be placed on a team. The Pee Wee's take to the ice at 1 o'clock and the first game will be between the No. 1 team and the No. 2 team. At 2 o'clock the No. 3 team will take on the No. 4 team. Look for your name on the player lists. On all teams, changes will be made if necessary to make the teams competitive and add enjoyment to the games. Registration will still be excepted so if you missed registering come to the arena any Saturday morning and you will be placed on a team. Mothers and tots skating will start this Thursday and continue every Tuesday arid Thursday from 3-4 p.m. with no "admission" charge.
