After dropping two of their first three contests by only a single point the senior footballers caught fire and came up with three consecutive wins, all by decisive margins. Head coach Bogart said right from the beginning that his club would make the fourth and final playoff spot and he kept drilling into his boys enough confidence and enthusiasm that they were able to do the job. In the crucial game against Stratford Northwestern, Wednesday afternoon in the Classic City, the South Huron offence and defence were equally sharp and they rolled up a 31-0 score over their opposition. The defensive unit probably played their best game of the season, allowing the Stratford offence only a net yardage of 39 yards. The Stratford team was never able to get to the South Huron side of centre field anytime during the afternoon and they failed to complete any passes. The same drive enabled the Panthers to down St. Marys in a sudden-death game to decide fourth spot in the regular standings on a very wet field Tuesday afternoon. They now head to Wingham Friday afternoon for a semi-final game with the winner meeting either Goderich or Stratford Central in the league final on November 12. In an unusual three-way tie for third place a toss of the coin was used to separate the three clubs involved. Huron-Perth regulations say if two or more clubs are tied for a spot, the records against each other should be used. In this case, South Huron had defeated Stratford Central, St. Marys edged the local club and Stratford downed St. Marys. While Stratford Central won the toss they may not have been so lucky as they meet the undefeated Goderich club in the first round. Plaudits should also go to the South Huron juniors and the coaching staff of Doug Ellison and Jack Riddell. The local youngsters went through the schedule undefeated and allowed only 12 points to the opposition. It certainly is within the realm of possibility to have both H-P championships come to South Huron. We would like to pass on our good wishes to both teams as they head down the playoff trail. The balance of the games will likely be played in conditions far from ideal and it takes a lot of fortitude to go out and play in cold weather on soggy fields. Most of the players in the senior game Tuesday afternoon were soaked completely from frequent falls in the numerous puddles of water on the field. A new sport During the past couple of weeks when Exeter's RAP committee was endeavouring to find out what recreational activities district people wanted to participate in we received several inquiries about orienteering. The only knowledge we had of this sport was very little picked up on several trips to school camping jaunts to Camp Sylvan, near Parkhill. Thanks to Mrs. W. D. Jarvis we have a copy of a paper on the subject prepared by Jack Lee, assistant head of physical education at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary school in Hamilton. We will pass on a few paragraphs of the paper in the hope some interest may be stirred up. "The sport of orienteering can best be described as a "foot rally" which takes in three dimensions of movement (forward, lateral and climbing), plus the fourth dimension of "time". The idea is to walk or run over a circuit of control points which have been located previously by a course-setter on specific geographic features, i.e. top of a knoll, south side of a marsh, etc. With the aid of a compass and a control description sheet, the orienteer must read and interpret his map of the area to find each control point. At each of the control point locations there is a highly visible red and white prismatic control flag hanging, and the orienteer punches or stamps his own control card to prove he has been there. The person who successfully completes the circuit, finishing all controls, is declared the winner. By requiring a person to think and concentrate 100 per cents of the time, orienteering goes one step further than other active sports. Besides the usual excitement and physical requirement of competition, the orienteer is faced with a series of problems on each leg of the course. His skillful choice of going around or over obstacles such as large knolls, small lakes and dense woods, determines how he can best utilize his physical capacities on the route he has selected — without getting lost. Orienteering is a life-time sport, as the fit, young athlete as well as the older, less athletic individual or non-athletic can participate with equal enthusiasm. It is a sport that can be continued beyond the school-age years because it is an individual experience not requiring the presence of a number of other athletes to make up a team. One of the greatest aspects of orienteering is its breadth of appeal. It attracts people of all ages from 8 to 80. It draws its support from runners, hikers, walkers, joggers, fitness buffs, educators, geographers, military and many others. It appeals to anyone who likes a combined mental-physical outdoor challenge. With all of the qualities of leadership present in orienteering it cannot avoid developing leadership itself. Many who start purely as competitors soon find themselves assisting in organization and that in itself can be a stimulating mental-physical task." 12 Day Motor Coach Tour Florida Vacation from $149.00 Leaves Wed, Dee. 23 Fleturns Sunday, Jan, 3 Write Habkirk Transit Service, Seaforth for Brochure Phone 527-1222 The 1970 racing season for Mr. & Mrs. Bill Ellerington of R. R. 3, Exeter ended in a blaze of glory Saturday night at the Blue Bonnets track in Montreal. High Ideal, a two year-old pacer owned by the Ellerington's won the final championship leg of the Canadian Juvenile series and brought his total earnings to the $75,000 mark. With Ron Waples in the sulky, High Ideal paced the mile in 2.03.1 for his 13th win of the season in 21 starts. Ellerington purchased . High Ideal at the Lexington Kentucky yearling sales in September of 1969 for $18,000. When the local racing enthusiast went to the Kentucky sale he decided he would bid on only two colts. When his other choice went Cross country The senior boys team from South Huron District High School will be competing in the All-Ontario cross country championships at Woodbridge, Saturday. The local squad placed second overall in the WOSSA meet held at Wingham, Thursday.

The midget boys placed 11th in WOSSA action led by Bill De Groot, Tim Stark, John Vanderbuyt, Randy Dietrich and Don Schilbe. Participating for the South Huron junior boys finishing 17th were Ron Regier, Bill Cameron, Don Rawlings, Don Van Raay and John Miner.

OHA INTERMEDIATE "C" EXHIBITION HOCKEY Sun., Nov. 8 Huron Park Arena 8:30 p.m. Lucan Merchants vs Crediton Tigers for $30,000, he settled for High Ideal and it was probably the best move he ever made as the other horse did not make it to the races this year. High Ideal was from the first crop of Brett Hanover colts. The Hanover stallion was purchased by Castleton Farms of Kentucky for two million dollars. Less than two months ago, Ellerington made another trip to the Kentucky sales and purchased a yearling, Bret Van with the same breeding background for $30,000. Ellerington and his wife Jean The Lucan-Ilderton Jets, defending Ontario Hockey Association Intermediate "B" champions appear headed for another successful season. The Jets rang up two victories. over the Aylmer Blues on the weekend to run their pre-season victory streak to four games. On Huron Park ice, Friday night, the Jets won by a score of 10-3 and they repeated with a 7-3 win in Aylmer, Sunday night. The University of Western Ontario Mustangs will be at the Huron Park arena Friday night at 8:30 to tangle with the Jets in another exhibition contest. The regular OHA schedule for the Jets opens Sunday afternoon when they travel to Acton to take on the Tanners in a two o'clock game. Late start In Aylmer Sunday night, the Jets had trouble getting rolling in the first period and were two goals down when they headed for the first rest session. Dave McKean and Mike Heslop were the Aylmer goal getters in the first period. Steve Proctor started the Jets away at 11:03 of the middle frame when he scored on a play started by Jamie Robb. A pair of veterans combined to get the equalizer for the L-I club. Defenceman Don Urbshott hit right winger Steve Storey with a long pass near centre ice and Storey made his way through the defence and in on the net to score a beautiful goal. The go-ahead goal was scored at 17.47 of the second when Bill White took a pass from Ron Cauduro and blinked the red light. On the first play of the who attended every one of High Ideal's races say they will be satisfied if Bret Van turns out to be half as good as High Ideal. High Ideal and Bret Van will be spending the winter under the care of Ken Gowan at Wallacetown. Russ Miller of Dutton will handle the training duties for both horses next year. Present plans are to have Bret Van entered in basically the same stake races as High Ideal who will be stepping up to compete in many of the rich three-year-old stakes. The top two-year-old in North second period, Exeter's contribution to the Jet club, Larry Willert scored on a hard backhand shot on a play started by Jamie Robb. Dick Doughty upped the L-I lead to 5-2 at the 7.15 mark as he completed a play with Bill White and Barry Irwin. Two quick goals in less than two minutes late in the period completed the scoring for the winners. Playing coach Jack Nairn scored from Larry Willert and Steve Storey and Fred Piett was a successful marksman with assists going to Storey and Jamie Robb. Ken Schwindt fired the final Aylmer goal with only 10 seconds remaining in the game. Only seven penalties were called, with four going to the Jets. Start early The Jets wasted little time in moving in front on Huron Park ice Friday night as they scored two goals in the first two minutes of play. Newcomers to the club took care of most of the first period scoring for the Jets. Dick Doughty notched the first counter and then Barry Irwin took over with two straight goals. Bill White drew assists on the first three goals with Doughty helping twice. Jack Nairn scored the fourth marker from Bob Lashbrook and Bill White converted Bill Dunnell's pass for the final goal of the opening session.
