Those boys who missed the opening registering day are reminded that they can still sign up by appearing at the arena this Saturday morning. The success of the local minor hockey system can be gauged by the continuous good showings by our teams in the Shamrock league and in Ontario Minor Hockey Association playdowns. In addition to this at least one or two players from the local program move up to higher company each year. Barry Baynham and Randy Parsons of last year's junior Hawks are doing exceptionally well in a higher class of hockey. Baynham, who was the captain of the 1969-70 Hawks is a regular defenceman with the Brantford Majors of the Western Ontario Junior "A" league. We had the opportunity to watch Barry play Friday night against the Detroit junior Red Wings and were pleased with his performance. He appeared to be one of the top Brantford performers, being used on power plays and when his club was a man short in addition to his regular turn. Another member of the Brantford club is no stranger to these parts. He is Steve English who played all his minor hockey to date with Lucan teams. Steve is also a regular defenceman and on several occasions when shifts got mixed up a bit paired up with Baynham on the blueline. The Lucan youngster scored the first goal of the game with a good hard shot from the left point. After a 4-2 loss to Detroit one of the Brantford officials told us there probably would be some shake-ups in their line-up but he indicated they were happy with the performances of Baynham and English. Playing on the Detroit team were Mark and Marty Howe, sons of the famous No. 9 of the Detroit Red Wings Gordie Howe. The first time we saw the two Howe boys play hockey was in Clinton about eight or nine years ago when they took part in a mite tournament at the Canadian Forces Base. While they did not appear to be outstanding hockey players they turned in steady performances with good positional play and made a good solo rush or two. The oldest of the two, Mark is a big boy and when he skates one can certainly see a resemblance to the Red Wing star. Gordie still carries on with the Detroit Red Wings and it certainly isn't an impossibility for the near future to have a father and son combination in the NHL. The senior Howe started off on the right foot Saturday night by scoring his 764th goal for the Red Wings in their 5-3 win over Oakland.It's his 25th seasonin the NHL. Getting back to the other Exeter youngster that has moved up this year. Randy Parsons is with the Milton Junior "B" club and in a recent exhibition game scored a pair of goals. The junior Hawks have started workouts for the coming season. We dropped into the practice session at the Huron Park arena Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of enthusiasm shown by the goodly number of prospects. After some doubt of recent weeks, it appears that coach Bob White will be back at the helm of the club and this is certainly good news. White who played some senior and intermediate hockey back in the 1950's with Exeter teams did an excellent job with the youngsters last year. MINORS SIGN UP — Registration for the Exeter Minor Hockey Association took place at the arena, Saturday morning. Any boys failing to sign up at that time have another chance this Saturday morning. Signing in with president Harvey Pfaff and secretary Bev Skinner are Jim Webb and Jeff Davis. T-A photo Schedule practice for new H-Z club One of the entries in this year's Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" grouping will be a combined team from Zurich and Hensall. The club will be known as the Hensall-Zurich Co-Ops and will be built around a nucleus of players from last year's Zurich Flyers along with some juveniles from Zurich and four or five good midget prospects from Hensall. The team is sponsored by the Minor hockey associations of the two villages and is goverened by a newly formed committee. Doug O'Brien is president of the governing committee. Greg Willert will handle the managerial duties while Dick Bedard with many years of hockey experience will be the coach. The first practice of the season will be held at the Huron Park arena tomorrow afternoon, Friday at 5.30 p.m. Any players in the Hensall and Zurich areas wishing to try out will be more than welcome to attend practices. Junior, gridders win again, seniors drop third straight Irish drop first game The football clubs at South Huron District High School continued their season pattern in their latest doubleheader against teams from Goderich, Wednesday afternoon. The junior squad directed by coaches Doug Ellison and Jack Riddell came up with their third consecutive win again by a very impressive score. They swamped Goderich 38-6. At the senior level it was a different story with Goderich administering a 34-0 defeat on Ron Bogart's South Huron youngsters. It was the third straight defeat for the local seniors. The other two losses were close one-point decisions. The two South Huron clubs are back in action this afternoon Thursday in doubleheader play at the high school grounds in Exeter with Clinton and Seaforth teams supplying the opposition. The South Huron juniors confined their scoring in the 38-6 win over Goderich to the first three quarters. The team's top ground gainer Dave Cyr scored two touchdowns, both in the first quarter and both on long runs. The first was on a 92-yard offtackle gallop and the second was on a similar drive through the Goderich line that went for 50 yards. The convert attempt on the first major score failed but the second made up for it when quarterback Perry Stover passed to Pius Dietrich for a two-pointer. The only scoring in the second session was an unconverted touchdown by the Goderich club. In the third period, the South Huron youngsters broke the game wide open with three unanswered touchdowns. On each occasion, two point conversions were successful. Gerard Charrette took care of most of the scoring singlehandedly. He took a pass from Stover for 14 yards into paydirt and only minutes later gained nine yards and a lineman honors going to Joe Kenda. Honorable mentions in the backfield went to Perry Stover and Dave Cyr with runner-up lineman awards going to Ron Clarke, Peter Kleinstiver and Gary Gibson. The South Huron offensive attack in the senior contest was close to nil. Official records show total yardage gained of 119 yards, but 95 of these were picked up by way of penalties. The local backs carried the ball 27 times and lost one yard. SH quarterbacks threw four passes good for only 25 yards. Larry Bourne and O'Rourke each grabbed off two passes. The winning Goderich club gained 394 yards throughout the afternoon. Their ground attack picked up 192 yards, passing was good for 167 yards and they picked up 35 yards on South Huron penalties. touchdown on a similar pass play pattern. On both conversions it was a Stover to Charrette pass that gained the double points. Late in the third period, Wayne Regier completed the South Huron scoring with a six yard gain on a dive play. This time it was Pius Dietrich that grabbed Stover's pass for the two extra points. The South Huron total rushing attack picked up 366 yards as compared to 255 by Goderich. Cyr continued his amazing rushing record with 173 yards on only eight carries for an average of close to 22 yards per carry. In the passing department, Gerard Charrette picked off four passes good for 67 yards. In the usual vote of the players after the game, Gerard Charrette was named the best backfielder of the day with Greys are eliminated from final playdown In their first exhibition start of the season at the London Gardens Saturday night, the Lucan Irish juniors were edged 6-5 by the London Gems. The London club plays in the OHA Intercounty Junior "C" ranks while the Irish perform in the Western Junior "D" grouping. The Irish six and the Hawks of Mitchell met in another pre-season game at the Lucan arena last night, Wednesday. The third start of the year for the Lucanuniors will be Friday night at j the Huron Park arena when they take on the Lucan-Ilderton Jets. Game time is 8:30. In the game against the London Gems, the Irish club suffered from a rash of penalties as the result of chippy play drawing 80 of 129 minutes in penalties called. Ken Needham with a two goal effort led the Lucan scoring attack with single goals being fired by Jeff Craig, Jack Bradley and Dave Revington. front 5-1. The Greys jumped into a commanding lead in the third when they scored three times. Ann Jorgensen tripled to open the inning, Glenda Fisher followed with a single and Pam Vanderweil slammed her second extra base hit, this time a home run to clear the bases. Neustadt came bouncing back with' a seven run splurge in the bottom of the third to tie the score at 8-8. The Greys counted twice in the fourth with Lynne Farquhar's triple and singles delivered by Joan Campbell and Sheila Willert producing the runs. The home team scored five times in the bottom of the fourth and were never headed. Singles by Parsons, Farquhar and Campbell produced the fifth inning marker while Kathy Wells walked and scored in the seventh. The Exeter Greys completed a lengthy season in Western Ontario Athletic Association ladies softball play Thursday night in Neustadt as they dropped a 20-12 decision to the home club and were eliminated from further play. The Neustadt club took the best-of-five series in straight games and the WOAA "B" championship. The Greys started off as if they were going to get back into contention in the series by scoring four big runs in the first inning. Walks to Joan Campbell and Glenda Fisher, singles from the bats of Sheila Willert and Jayne Broderick and Pam Vanderweil's triple chased the opening Exeter runs across the plate. Marlene Parsons singled to open the Greys second trip to the plate and scored on a couple of infield outs tb put her club in Quite a change A couple of ball games make quite a difference in the type of odds being offered by oddsmakers on the World Series. Before the series started in Cincinatti, Saturday afternoon, the Reds were listed at 11-10 to win the annual fall classic. After the Orioles took the first two games, the odds shifted to the Orioles side of the ledger 5-1 for the series and 3-2 to take the third contest. These odds were listed by Las Vegas oddsmaker Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder. The first two games of the series proved that three or four run leads don't mean much to the sluggers on the Baltimore club. The Orioles erased big leads in both games to go to win. The star to date has to be Brooks Robinson at third base for the Orioles. Dick Beddoes of the Toronto Globe and Mail called Robinson a two-handed vacuum cleaner on the green carpeted infield at the Cincinatti ball park. The controversial play at home plate in the first game Saturday was actually a case of four didn'ts. Runner Bernie Carbo didn't touch the plate, catcher Elrod Hendricks didn't touch Carbo and umpire Ken Burkhart didn't get out of the way and he didn't call Carbo safe as he apparently should have. Despite vigorous arguments Cincinatti manager Sparky Anderson said the next day that he felt Burkhart made the only call possible and explained it this way: "Sure, the way the play developed my man was safe, but if Burkhart's not there, it's a routine play and Carbo's out by 10 feet. I think the umpire knew what happened and that's why he called him out. You can't blame him for that. "When a man's hustling he's in good position, and he makes the right call. I'm not going to fault him. I'm going to give Burkhart credit for making the call and I'm going to tell him so. He called him out because he knew he blocked off Hendricks." Figure Skating Registration Remember this! To Punch Irnlach, a non-believer is anyone who doesn't think the Buffalo Sabres will make the NHL playoffs this year. Shortly after the Sabres had settled into their training camp at Peterboro, Imlach briskly announced that his club would make the playoffs, He added, "You can forget about Vancouver and Toronto and the Red Wings didn't look like any ball of lire to me, either. We will be there and you can bet On it. Don't be a disbeliever and count us out before we start." EXETER ARENA Mon., Oct. 26 3 Come out and meet your new pro.
