FOR ALL. GOOD SPORTS
By Ross Haugh
Cool spot
close by
Anyone wishing to take advantage of a cool
atmosphere for a couple of hours each weekend could
do worse than take a trip out to the Randall arena at
Huron Park and also help to stay in a trim and healthy
condition,
Two hours of public ice skating is available each
Sunday night at the district arena. We saw a couple of
young hockey players from town out last Sunday night
taking a whirl around the ice.
The Huron Park arena will again be the home base
of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets for the third consecutive
year. Officials of Ontario Development Corporation and
arena manager John Link have been busy the last couple
of months making excellent improvements to the arena.
The entire inside of the building has been painted
and a de-humidifier has been installed to take care of
the dampness during the warm weather.
While the reigning champs of Ontario Hockey
Association Intermediate "B" ranks will be back at
Huron Park, there has been quite a change in the
executive end of the team.
At a recent team get-together held in St. Marys,
Barry Beech was named president to replace Ian Dallas,
former manager of the Lucan branch of the Bank of
Montreal who has been transferred to Toronto.
We know the Jets will again be well organized
with hard working and enthusiastic Barry at the helm.
He will have plenty of help in the administrative end of
things from his vice-president Don Urbshott.
Now known as the "Silver Fox" for apparent
reasons, Urbshott was one of the co-founders of the
team and last year as manager handled all negotiations
with the OHA very capably.
The manager for the coming 1970-71 season will
be Doug Galloway, a veteran of many St. Marys and
Lucan-Ilderton teams. His assistant in the managerial
end will be another long-time associate of hockey teams
in the Lucan-Ilderton area, Ken Loft.
Popular Jack Nairn will be back to coach the club
and also take his regular turn as an active player. Nairn
took over as coach part way through last season and did
a tremendous job of taking his team to the Ontario title
by not only telling his mates what should be done but
going out on the ice and doing it.
Publicity of the club will be in good hands with
Larry Bickell and Steve Storey in charge. Storey along
with Urbshott started the club back in the fall of 1968
and spent countless hours moulding the club into
championship form. His knowledge and experience will
be valuable along with his help on the ice.
The rest of the executive includes Jack Galloway,
father of the new manager, Don McKnight, Pat Egan,
Vic Neil, Carl Leitch, Orvil Rinn and Lucan reeve Ivan
Hearn.
Duties of trainer will again be handled by
energetic Russ Kennedy with Keith Scarborough who
says he is retiring from an active playing role taking over
as equipment manager.. We expect Keith will_ by still
around to fill in as the spare goalie for the club.
Big tourney
One of the biggest fastball tournaments in this
part of the country will be held in Goderich over the
Labour Day holiday weekend. Twenty teams are
expected to participate in two divisions. The split in
categories comes at a population of ten thousand.
The Exeter all-star club will be entered in the "B"
division along with an entry from the Dufferin Hotel of
the local Rec league.
Add to fair -
It is expected the Exeter Fall Fair this year will
have an added attraction. Board members spearheaded
by president Donald Dearing are making arrangements
to include a program of harness racing in the fair menu.
While negotiations haven't been completed it is'
expected that approval from the Ontario Trotting
Association will be along as soon as the mail situation
clears a bit.
Jim Wallace who is heading up a group of local
horsemen to help organize the event tells us that all
officials for a day of racing have been lined up. Jack
Morrissey of Crediton is expected to be the presiding
judge. Morrissey has been handling similar duties at
numerous tracks in Western Ontario the past couple of
years.
The Whitesell starting gate will be in operation
and George Moffatt of Western Fair Raceway is
expected to handle the announcing duties.
A coating of stone dust has been applied to the
local track to get it into top racing condition for the
fair.
Rodeo coming up
The annual Midwestern rodeo that is held in Exeter
each Labour Day weekend is rapidly approaching. Rodeo
officials are busily engaged lining up the three full
programs.
Two shows will be held on Saturday, September 5
at two o'clock in the afternoon and seven o'clock at night
while the final show goes at two o'clock, Sunday
afternoon.
Prize money in the amount of $2,500 is available to
contestants that will be appearing from all parts of Canada
and the United States.
A beauty contest will again be staged for girls from
Exeter and the district including the winner of this week's
Bean Festival Queen contest being held in Zurich.
Three teams have each won
'two straight games in the
Exeter and district Rec softball
quarter-final playoffs and could
wrap up their first rounds
tonight, Thursday.
In the "A" division Exeter
Legion downed Grand Bend
10-3 and 4.1 to take a
commanding lead in their best of
five set in the first round. The
other half of the top section is
tied at a game apiece. Dufferin
Hotel won the first game by a
score of 17.5 over Custom
Trailers Thursday but the trailer
men came back to record a close
2-1 victory, Monday night.
In the "B" category, Exeter
Kinsmen hold a two game lead
over Dashwood Industries as the
result of 6.0 and 11-4 victories.
The junior Hawks hold a similar
edge over Crediton by posting

Tonight, Thursday, a
doubleheader will be played at
Huron Park with the Kinsmen
