The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1970-02-19, Page 6Page 6 iirn•reAdv9;01.0, February 19, 1970 FOR ALE. GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh School champs Congratulations are in order to numerous athletes at South Huron District High School for their achievements during the past couple of weeks. Wednesday, the South Huron wrestling squad under the direction of teachers Doug Ellison and Jack Riddell not only won the Huron-Perth Conference team championship but also placed five boys on the list of classification champions. The Western Ontario Secondary School Association championships are being held Saturday m Strathroy and coach Ellison is expecting to send 14 local wrestlers to compete. In last week's Huron-Perth finals, Morley Eagleson and Gerard Charrette retained their group crowns picked up last year in the first year the local school tried wrestling in actual competition. Eagleson has now competed in two seasons of Huron-Perth action and has yet to have a point scored against him. The success of the wrestling team at our local high school is almost fantastic. The youngsters with only one year of experience have also been more than holding their own in exhibition matches and tournaments against schools with a lot higher enrollment. Another popular sport at South Huron is curling and two rinks will be representing the school at WOSSA playoffs at the Ivanhoe in London on March 6 and 7. Doug Webber skipped his rink to the Huron-Perth boys title last week and Libby Mickle accomplished the same feat with her group of girls. While these youngsters display a lot of enthusiasm and hard work in reaching these championships, there is always an interested teacher in the background helping to aid their progress. In the case of the curlers it has been the quiet words of advice and guidance from Miss Lauretta Seigner and Ted Davies that has helped enormously. Due to space restrictions, we expect pictures of the two champion curling rinks will not appear until next week. A Good Day Although attendance was not too encouraging, the enthusiasm displayed by all the hockey players, Saturday's Minor Hockey Day at the Exeter arena was a huge success. The day was topped off with an interesting and exciting exhibition game between the junior Hawks and a group of former Mohawks of the late 1950's. When we said the players showed enthusiasm, we meant it sincerely including every member of the Mohawks. Although a few of them were not quite as speedy as some fans remember they displayed lots of determination. We would like to say thanks to Bill Musser, Bob Baynham, Alvin Willert and any others that were instrumental in getting twenty Mohawks back in uniform and they were back in uniform in real style. A new set of sweaters for the junior Hawks arrived Friday and they were christened by the Mohawks. Banquets, Already The banquet season got' off to a fairly early start in Lucan Friday night when the Lucan Lions held their annual feast for their house league hockey players and their parents. While each winning team receives a trophy at the end of the season, the Lions Club hands out individual awards to the most improved player on each team. This gives every boy the same opportunity to win a trophy regardless of their actual playing abilities. The guest speaker at Monday's function was Doug Whaley, sports director of radio station of CJOE in London. The little fellow with the big voice handed out good words of advice for the boys, especially his remarks on the need of obtaining a proper education and the ability to learn how to take a sports loss gracefully. We would like to thank Lions president Bob Taylor and hockey chairman Clare Stanley for their fine hospitality, Monday night. South Huron Cagers win only two games One of the highlights of Saturday's annual Minor Hockey Day at the Exeter arena was the selection of three stars for each of the six all-star games. The accompanying pictures show the Exeter and former Mohawk stars that were selected by the panel of judges. T-A photos.

The day began with regular house league hockey play in the morning continued with five exhibition all-star games in the afternoon and early evening and concluded with the feature attraction, an exhibition game between the current edition of the Exeter Junior Hawks and members of Mohawk teams of the late 1950's. Local dignitaries participating in opening ceremonies and three,star selections added to the festivities. Scores of the house league games are reported in Alvin Willert's Rec News column appearing elsewhere on these pages, A total of twenty former Mohawk performers returned and held the junior Hawks to a 5.5 tie in a fast moving, exciting contest. The Mohawks proved that a combination of experience and four complete shifts was enough to stay on an equal footing with the younger Hawks who iced only two complete line-ups. Gar Baker and Dick McFalls shared the Mohawk goal tending chores and both turned in excellent performances. Former Exeter Rec director Don "Boom" Gravett was the top scorer for the Mohawks with a two goal effort. A slap shot specialist during his Mohawk playing days, Gravett fired both his goals on good quick, wrist shots, probably because of the extra energy needed to draw the stick back for a slap shot. The younger Hawks jumped into a quick two goal lead in the early minutes of the game before the Old-Timers were able to get untracked. Randy Parsons, the only two goal scorer for the Hawks fired the first successful shot at 3.13 on a play set up by defenceman Barry Baynham. Near the eight minute mark, Steve Murley took a pass from Ron Janke to up the score to 2-0. Hawk manager Bob Baynham playing for the Mohawks was the first able to fire the puck past John Hayter in the juniors net. Baynham was parked right in front of the net and popped in a quick shot on a pass-out from Mary Schantz and Bob Westenhaufer. Midway through the second period, Randy Parsons scored his second counter of the game on a play started by John Braid and Joe O'Rourke to give the Hawks a 3-1 edge. The Mohawks surged back to tie the score before the second period was completed. Ken Doig notched the first marker with Jim MacDonald aiding on the play and Dave Weber knotted the count on an unassisted effort. In a space of two minutes early in the third period, Gravett scored his two goals to put the Mohawks out in front by a score of 5.3. Only a couple of minutes later, Ron Moore, who lost part of a tooth earlier in the game scored unassisted and John Braid fired the equalizer shortly after to create the tie and send everybody home satisfied with the outcome.
