LIMITED Chevrolet - Oldsmobile PHONE 235-0660 EXETEri The Home of Guardian Maintenance Hawks win over ,Norwich - in two pre season games If pre-season exhibition games are any indication of what lies ahead hockey fans in this area are in for an interesting and exciting winter. After two wins, one by a decisive score over the Norwich Merchants the Exeter Junior Hawks appear to be at least as strong as last year when they put up a good battle before bowing to the Norwich club in the OHA semi-finals, Norwich went on to take the provincial championship.. Under the guidance of coach Bob White the Hawks appear to be a real hustling team and should give a good account of themselves. After a try-out- with the Kitchener Rangers John Hayter is back to handle the goal tending duties. The back-up netminder will be Dennis Ferguson. The defence corps will be led by two returnees from last year's club. Joe O'Rourke and Mike Hoy will give the Hawks plenty of defensive strength along with Ron Janke, burly Jim Guenther, up from the Exeter midgets and Bob Parsons. Back for another flint= '' on the forward lines will be captain Larry Haugh, Steve Murley, Larry Laye and Bob Rowe along with a good group of youngsters up from the midgets. Most of these boys were very instrumental in the Hawks excellent showing in the provincial playoffs last year. Taking a regular turn this year will be Randy Preszcator, Peter Kleinstiver, Pete Glover, Brian Bestard, Larry Bourne and Ron Lindenfield. Last on the list but far from least are Brian Campbell from last year's Hensall midgets and Toni Anderson who performed with the Lucan Irish in 1969-70. While the Hawks appear to have a strong club, the rest of the league will supply plenty of opposition. In a couple of exhibition games, the new Clinton entry looks very formidable and the Lucan Irish and Zurich-Hensall Co-ops will also be heard from. The Lucan-Ilderton Jets in their first couple of exhibition starts show plenty of promise and should be a good bet on repeating their Ontario Hockey Association Intermediate "B" championship. With playing coach Jack Nairn back at the helm the Jets have three new defencemen that are expected to rock the opposition. They are Bill Dunnell, Bill White and Larry Willert. Dunnell, who was a former St. Marys junior star played his hockeyin Brantford last year while White, a top notch performer with the Oshawa Generals in recent years was in Stouffville for the1969-70 season and Larry Willert played all his minor hockey in Exeter and was with Zurich Intermediates last year. Back on defence will be Don "Silver Fox" Urbshott. The goal tending duties will be well under control with last year's star, Wayne Parkinson back along with Don Stewart, formerly of the St. Marys juniors. Although, he is attempting to retire Keith Scarborough is also available for netminding chores. Returning to the forward lines from the championship club in addition to the high-flying Nairn are Jamie Robb, Steve Proctor, Jacques Cousineau, Doug Galloway and Steve Storey. Added to this group are newcomers Bob Lashbrook, Dick Doughty, Barry Irwin .,Fred Piatt and Walt Parkinson . Tigers get ready The Crediton Tigers are preparing for another hockey season. After competing for three years in the Western Ontario Athletic Association the district club is switching to the OHA for the upcoming season. • They are expected to compete with Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Listowel and Milverton in a southern Intermediate "C" grouping. A northern group will likely consist of Port Elgin, Kincardine, Meaford and Wiarton. The Tigers start the exhibition season Sunday night at the Huron Park arena at eight o'clock with the Clinton intermediates supplying the opposition. Manager Joe Regier sends along an invitation to any district players that wish to try out. He says all spots on the club are wide open. Pete Ravelle is expected to handle the coaching duties. With cold weather quickly approaching we would like to pass on some safety hints to hunters that will be using boats to chase their favourite fowl or game. Hunters using boats during the cold water months should know the effect on the human body of water at low temperatures and methods of survival if they should overturn. A scuba diver is protected by a form-fitting wet suit which covers him from head to foot. As the name implies, this suit is not intended to keep the diver dry. A small amount of water is allowed to come between the suit and his body. The suit is then sealed, preventing circulation of this water which is heated by the body heat of the diver and acts as an insulation. Clothing commonly worn by hunters (woolen underwear, wind-proof outer clothing, parka, woolen socks and highcut boots) will perform a similar though less efficient function as the diver's wet suit if proper precautions are taken: COVER AS MUCH OF THE EXPOSED SKIN AS POSSIBLE TO DIMINISH HEAT LOSS. Put on mitts or gloves. Protect back of neck with scarf or parka hood as this is a particularly sensitive area. SEAL OFF CLOTHING AT NECK, WRISTS AND ANKLES TO CURTAIL CIRCULATION OF WATER. Wear pants inside laced boot tops. Elasticized or taped wind-proof sleeves will stop circulation at wrists. Secure parka hood or jacket collar at neck with tightly wound scarf or drawstring. TIGHTEN CLOTHING TO BODY TO LIMIT AMOUNT OF WATER THE BODY MUST HEAT. A government- approved lifejacket laced tightly over clothing will do this effectively. LIMIT BODY MOVEMENT TO KEEP CIRCULATION OF TRAPPED. WARM WATER AT MINIMUM. A government-approved lifejacket will support a body in the water eliminating the need for movement and effort to keep afloat. This also minimizes expenditure of energy which is desirable. The victim of cold water immersion will survive longer in the water than out of it when exposed to a cold wind. Every incident, however, of a victim surviving from such a predicament on his own proves that he must get out of the water, find shelter and build a fire to dry out. The Lucan-Ilderton Jets had little trouble in downing the Tillsonburg Appolos in a pair of exhibition hockey games over the weekend. On Huron Park ice, Friday night, the Jets fashioned a 6-2 win over the Appolos a club they defeated on the way to the Ontario Hockey Association Intermediate championship about six months ago. Back in Tillsonburg, Sunday night, the Jets were again victorious this time by a score of 4-1. With a little more than a week to go to the opening game of the regular schedule, the Lucan-Ilderton boys will play another pre-season doubleheader. They will play host to the Aylmer Blues tomorrow night, Friday at the Huron Park arena at 8:30 and make the return trip to Aylmer, Sunday night. Start later In Tillsonburg, Sunday night all the scoring was confined to the last two periods. The Jets scored three unanswered markers in the second period and the clubs traded single goals in the final twenty minutes of play. Veteran Steve Storey started the Jets off in a scoring way at 3.01 of the middle stanza on a play set up by defenceman Don Urbshott and Doug Galloway, who also doubles as manager of the club. A little more than eight minutes later, Bill White fired a successful shot on a play originated by playing coach Jack Nairn. The final L-I goal of the No change in dart loop The standings in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league remained unchanged after Friday's weekly action. The Dark Angels continue to lead with 19 points, the Sharpshooters are in second spot with 17 points and the Canners, Dart Sharks and Scotties are deadlocked in third place with 16 points apiece.

A newcomer to the Jet defensive unit Bill White tied the score at 8.15 of the first period counting from another first year man Bob Lashbrook, after Max Partlo had put the Appolos into an early lead. Proctor put the Jets in front to stay on a three-way passing effort with only a minute to go in the opening period. Jacques Cousineau and Jack Nairn drew assists on the play. Three unanswered goals in the second session put the game in the bag for the Lucan-Ilderton *club.
