Annual Meeting
EXETER MINOR HOCKEY
ASSOCIATION

Exeter Arena
All persons interested in
minor hockey in any
way are urged to attend.
GRIDDERS GET READY —The two football clubs at South Huron District High School have settled down
to serious practising this week in preparation for the opening of the Huron-Perth Conference schedule. The
two clubs travel to Strathroy Saturday for an exhibition doubleheader. In the above picture Coach Doug
Ellison is shown at the left with all candidates for his junior club. Assistant coach Jack Riddell is at the right.
Below, Senior coach Ron Bogart is shown with all the returnees he has from his club of last year.
Dufferin takes Rec 'A' title,
Hawks lead Kin in S' set
The keen competition
between the men and ladies at the
Exeter lawn bowling club
continues.
In Saturday's regular jitney,
Mabel Glenn and Wilf Shapton
finished in a tie for first place.
They had identical scores of two
wins, a plus of 12 and aggregate
of 24.
Gordon Hoggarth was second
with a pair of wins, a plus of 5 and
aggregate of 18. Placing third
with a plus of 3 and aggregate of
21 to go with a double victory
was Bill Lamp ort.
An invitational mixed pairs
tourney was played at the local
greens Wednesday with a full list
of entries necessitating play
starting in the morning.
The last open tournament of
the season sponsored by the
Exeter club will be a men's pairs
event scheduled for September
26.
This is the time of the year again when a number of
sporting activities are vying for the limelight. Baseball is
still with us for a couple of weeks, football is just nicely
getting started and while the professional hockey teams
are starting practices district teams and players are
thinking about the new season.
In big league baseball, only one of the four divisions
have not decided a pennant winner as yet, The American
league finalists will be the Baltimore Orioles and
Minnesota Twins while in the National league the
Cincinnati Reds have cinched the western division
championship.
The National league east is a different story with
Pittsburgh, New York and Chicago still in close
contention. We are like most fans in this area in pulling for
the Chicago Cubs because of the presence of Fergy
Jenkins of Chatham on the Chicago roster.
Jenkins will be trying for the second time this week
to win his twentieth game of the season. If the big, strong,
young Canadian can get his big win before the season ends
it will mark his fourth consecutive season as a
twenty-game winner.
One of the most pleasant surprises of the current
baseball season has to be the fine performances turned in
by the Montreal Expos.
In only their second season in the big leagues the
Expos have been turning in a good and exciting brand of
ball that has attracted large crowds to Jarry Park in
Montreal.
While the Montreal club is in the cellar in the
eastern division they have won more games than four
other clubs in the big leagues. With a lesser number of
victories are San Diego of the National league and Kansas
City, Milwaukee and Chicago of the American circuit.
Football practices are in full swing this week at
South Huron District High School with the junior and
senior clubs getting ready for regular Huron-Perth
Conference action. The local Panther squads will be
travelling to Strathroy Saturday for an exhibition
doubleheader and expect to open the season the following
week.
At the same time some district youngsters are
taking off for various Ontario points and tryouts with
junior hockey clubs.
More than a half dozen members of last years
Exeter junior Hawks are trying for positions on Junior
"A" and "B" clubs. Goalie John Hay ter left for Kitchener
Friday and the training camp of the Kitchener Rangers
of the OHA Junior "A" ranks.
Tuesday, Barry Baynham, Joe O'Rourke, Randy
Preszcator and Pete Glover headed for Brantford and a
tryout with that city's entry in the Western Junior "A"
league. Friday, Randy Parsons and Larry Haugh are
leaving for the camp of the Brampton Junior "B"s. John
Braid will be trying to make the roster of the Waterloo
Siskins.
Baynham and O'Rourke have also been asked to
attend the Stratford Braves camp and several others have
been approached by the Petrolia junior club. Bill
Fairbairn of town was a valued member of the Petrolia
team last year.
Fairbairn is currently playing football with Sarnia
in the Ontario Rugby Football Union junior division and
has also received an invitation to try his hockey talents
with the Port Huron Flags of the International league.
Jim Hayter of Dashwood who played with the
junior Hawks two years ag6 and last year was with
Stratford will be playing his hockey this year in Sault Ste.
Marie, Michigan. Jim has accepted a hockey scholarship at
'Lake Superior State College.
The hockey coach at Superior State is Ron Mason,
a native of Seaforth and for the past two summers an
instructor at the hockey school and sports training camp
at Huron Park.

Rain interferes
with girls games
The weatherman has been the
biggest opposition the Exeter
Greys have faced during the past
week. Al attempts to complete
their Huron Ladies softball "B"
final with Mitchell have been
stalled by wet grounds.
The Greys, leading the
best-of-seven series three games
to one will try to wrap things up
on the Exeter diamond to-night,
Thursday at nine o'clock.
The winner of the
Exeter-Mitchell series will go on
to meet Cargill in the Western
Ontario Athletic Association "B"
final.
In the "A" division, the
Brucefield Bombers will be
tackling Wingham.
To-night's Greys game will be
the second half of a
doubleheader. The junior Hawks
and Kinsmen meet in the Rec "B"
final at seven o'clock.
Jets start practice
The Lucan-Ilderton Jets will be getting an early
start in defence of their Ontario Hockey Association
Intermediate "B" championship.
Playing coach Jack Nairn has called the first
workout for the Huron Park arena, Sunday morning at
eleven o'clock and will follow up with another practice
Tuesday night, September 22 at 7.30 at the same rink.
Nairn has issued an invitation to any players in the
district that would like to try out with the Jets. All corners
will be given a good chance to show their wares in an
attempt to make the roster.
The Jets will again be backed by an enthusiastic and
hard working executive headed by.president Barry Beech.
Don Urbshott has relinquished the managerial duties to
Doug Galloway but will fill the vice-president's position.
Several weeks ago when listing the full slate of
officers of the Jets in this column we failed to mention
treasurer Barney Macklem. Sorry, Barney, like all
handlers of cash you are one of the most important men
on the club.

Bogart.
The Leafs went ahead in the
third when catcher Dennis Carey
singled, moved up on a wild pitch
and came home when Bob
Robinson slashed a sharp single
through the right side of the
infield.
Murray Brintnell walked to
open the Legion sixth and rode
home on Ron Bogart's inside the
park home run to reverse the
score.
Pinch hitter Don Appleby
started the winning Dufferin rally
in the sixth. He beat out a bunt
and scored the tying run on a
single by Lloyd Mathers. Larry
Brintnell followed with a single to
keep the rally going but was
forced at second on Dennis
Carey's ground-out with Mathers
moving to third.
Hub Hunter drove in the
winning and insurance runs with a
long triple to the far corners of
the park.
In the Legion seventh, Don
Pickering was hit by a pitched ball
and Dean McKnight and Jim
Pinder walked but Dufferin
hurler Bob Robinson settled
down and got the next two
batters in order to end the ball
game.
Early scoring
All of the scoring in the Hawks
6-4 win over the Kinsmen
Thursday night took place in the
first four innings of play.
The Hawks jumped out in
front with a two run rally in the
first inning, the Kinsmen notched
a single run in the second and
completed their game scoring in
the third with a trio of markers.
The Hawks added a lone run in
the third and wrapped the game
up with a three run outburst in
the fourth frame.
Bill Farquhar, Barry Baynham
and Terry Bourne singled to
produce the two Hawk runs in the
first inning.
In the Kinsmen second, Ron
Dumoulin singled, moved to
second on a passed ball and
completed the base cycle on Bob
Coleman's one base blow.
The third Hawk run of the
game came in the third when Bill
Farquhar reached first on an
error, moved up on a ground-out
and scored on a single by Ron
Janke.
Only one base hit was needed
to produce three Kinsmen runs in
the third. Bob Callingham opened
the inning with a single, George
Pratt drew a walk and both Kin
performers scored when Craig
Davidson was safe on a Hawk
fielding miscue.
Davidson moved up on a
couple of wild pitches and scored
on Ron Dumoulin's sacrifice fly.
The Hawks winning rally in
the fourth was powered by four
consecutive base hits after the
first two batters were retired.
With two out, Pete Revington
kept the Hawks hopes alive with a
single and Larry Haugh promptly
tripled to tie the score 4-4.
Bill Farquhar followed with
the game winning blow to score
Haugh and Barry Baynham
bashed out a single to score
Farquhar and complete the game
scoring.
Greg Revington, the winning
pitcher for the Hawks picked up a
total of five strikeouts while John
Cross was on the mound for the
Kinsmen and took the loss.
The Dufferin Hotel Leafs won
the "A" division championship of
the Exeter and district Rec
softball league at Huron Park
Thursday night by edging the
Exeter Legion by a score of 5-3.
The hotelmen won the
best-of-five series in three straight
games. In the "B" division final,
the junior Hawks lead the
Kinsmen two games to one with
the fourth game slated for Exeter
Community Park tonight,
Thursday at eight o'clock.
The Hawks took a lead in a
similar best-of-five series by
edging the Kinsmen 6-4 on the
Exeter diamond, Thursday night.
All scoring but one run in the
final Dufferin-Legion occurred in
the first and sixth innings. Each
team scored once in the first
frame. Dufferin moved ahead
with a single run in the third and
the Legion bounced back with a
two run rally in the top of the
sixth to take a one run lead.
The Leafs exploded for three
runs in the sixth inning to cinch
the victory but they had some
anxious moments in the top of
the seventh when the Legion boys
loaded the bases with one out but
they were unable to push any
runners across the plate.
In the Legion first, Murray
Brintnell walked and scored on
Cy Blommaert's single to left
field.
The score was quickly tied in
the Dufferin half of the first when
Colin Brewer doubled and scored
on Bob Conrad's single to left.
Conrad was tossed out at second
on a throw from left fielder Jim
Hewitt.
With two out Dufferin pitcher
Bob Robinson singled but he was
also retired trying to reach second
this time on a throw by right
fielder Chub Edwards.
To complete a rather unique
situation, the first Dufferin batter
in the second Dave Boudreau also
singled and was thrown out at

Hockey scholarships
While many Canadians like Jim Hayter are taking
advantage of hockey scholarships at American
universities, the Canadian government, through an
instrument known as Hockey Canada is making
scholarships available to Canadian universities.
Charles Hay, president of Hockey Canada, who is
also the father of former Chicago Black Hawk forward Bill
Hay said that 250 boys leave Canada each year to take
hockey scholarships in the United States and that many of
these stay on there after their playing careers end and are
lost to the Canadian economy.
Hay implies that his Canadian scholarship program
will be effectively competitive against the American plan
and stop the flow of Canada's best young players to
American universities.
This statement doesn't make much sense as nothing
has yet been devised in this country to stop the flow of the
best of anything south of the border.
What the Hockey Canada program will likely do is
develop a supply of educated hockey players who, if good
enough, will move to the NHL where the money is and if
not good enough will be used by Hockey Canada to
implement its international program, whatever that may
be.
When the scholarship plan was first announced last
July, it was stated that the awards would be valued at up
to $2,000 each. Loth scholastic and hockey playing
ability were considered in the awards, 0
