Many changes Thanks to the Exeter Kinsmen club, town outwit, RAP and the Exeter Minor Hockey Association, conditions for hockey players at the Exeter arena this year should be much improved. Many renovations and improvements will be completed at the arena by the time ice goes in by about October 20. The idea for renovations first started when officials of the Kinsmen club offered to purchase a new scraping and flooding machine. That brought up a question of where to keep the machine and the only logical spot was at the north end of the arena where the junior Hawk dressing room was located. Dressing room space for visiting teams and referees has been very limited and far from ideal, RAP with the co-operation of town council decided to build an addition along the west side of the arena to provide extra accommodation. The addition that is now underway will include an office for the arena manager, a referees and first aid room, a large dressing room 10 by 30 feet for the Hawks and four smaller rooms 10 by 22 for other teams. In addition to the Hawks room which was made necessary by the change at the north end, the most important changes are probably the office and the referees and first aid room. In the past if any injuries occurred, the players or fans as the case may be were brought into the very small office and first aid was given in very small quarters with plenty of invasion by onlookers. The previous dressing room for referees left plenty to be desired. The officials were forced to dress in a small equipment room just off the main hall without any washroom facilities. We said in the beginning that improvements were in store for the players but we should extend it to the spectators as well. A much needed public address system is being installed and it is hoped it will work better than any of the previous installations. Also, a new time clock and scoreboard is being installed at the south end directly below the old clock. At the same time a considerable amount of painting is being done at the arena and fans and players alike should find a much more enjoyable place this winter. The two football clubs from team turned in an outstanding South Huron District High performance holding the :School broke even in PO exhibition double header against Strathroy at the local school grounds, Saturday afternoon. In the first game of the af- ternoon, the South Huron junior Panthers, winners of the Huron- Perth conference title the last two years dumped Strathroy 34-0. The second game was a close contest from start to finish with a Strathroy touchdown and two point conversion in the third quarter holding up an 8-6 decision, BOTH TEAMS GANG UP — On this play during South Huron juniors 34.0 romp over Strathroy most players from both clubs goi into the action. Panther quarterback Perry Stover is shown on a dive into a wall of blockers and tacklers, T-A photo Very Little Offence Ron Bogart's senior club failed to show much offensive power and the only time they showed any semblance of an attack was in the opening period. During a nine play sequence Larry Bourne carried over from 12 yards out for the only South Huron points, The convert failed, Dave Cyr was the workhorse of the senior backfield carrying the ball on nine occasions for 27 yards. Don Truemner gained 14 yards on six tries and Bourne scored the touchdown the only time he carried the pigskin. Cyr also carried one kick back a total of 30 yards. Pete Klein- stiver averaged 45 yards in two kick-offs and 27 yards on five punts. Rec finals underway TOUCHDOWN RUN — The only touchdown for the South Huron senior Panthers as they lost 8-6 to Strathroy, Saturday was notched by Larry Bourne who is shown here heading for the goal-line. Even Scoring The junior Panther attack was fairly consistent throughout the game. The score was 20-0 at the end of the first half and 14 points were added in the final two periods. Quarterback Perry Stover passed 10 yards to Brian Taylor for the first SH touchdown and Wayne Regier went one yard off- tackle for the second major score. The longest pass of the af- ternoon produced the third touch- down for the winners. Stover hit Paul McGinnis on a 30-yard pass and run play as the second quarter neared completion. The Panthers picked up two points on the conversion when Stover passed to Taylor. In the second half, Paul Truemner went three yards on an off-tackle run to score the fourth Panther six-pointer of the af- ternoon. The final scoring plays of the game came about when, signal caller Stever kept the ball himself and went into paydirt on a short yardage situation. Again it was a successful pass for two points on the conversion as Pete Wuerth gathered in a Stover pass. The South Huron defensive Dart league ready to go The very popular Exeter Legion mixed dart league swings back into action this Friday night with a full schedule of games. At an enthusiastic organizational meeting held Friday, a new executive was named. Alex Jackson is the president, Norma Brintnell will handle secretarial duties and Norm Ferguson was named treasurer. The schedule for the first night is as follows: 8 p.m. BJ's vs Itchy Four Noisy Ones vs Winkers B & A's vs Dark Angels Canners vs Featherflights The finals in the "A" division of the Exeter and district Rec softball league are finally under way. After many delays in the one semi-final round, Hensall downed the Legion 6-1 Thursday night in the deciding game of a best-of-five series. The first game of the league finals pitting Hensall against the junior Hawks was played last night, Wednesday. The second contest is expected to go Friday night in Hensel' with the third game back in Exeter Sunday afternoon. In the "B" series, the Dufferin Hotel blanked Custom Trailers 14-0, Thursday night to take a two-games-to-one lead in a similar best-of-five series. The fourth game is being played tonight at eight o'clock at Exeter Community Park, ONLY ONE HIT Custom Trailers could manage only one hit off the offerings of hurler Don Appleby, Thursday night as the Dufferin Hotel claimed a decisive 13-0 victory in the Exeter and district Rec Softball "B" finals. Appleby gave up a single to Rick McDonald with two out in the third sending Bryan Hogg who had walked around to third. The only other Custom base runner was Tom Dalrymple who reached first on an error in the seventh but was cut down trying to score. Dufferin scored twice in the second inning and were well on the way to the win that gave them a two-games-to-one lead in the series. Singles by Farquhar, Colin Brewer and Bob Hodgins were responsible for the opening Dufferin run scoring, Four safe hits powered a four run rally by the winners in the third frame, Don Appleby socked a double while Lloyd Mathers, Brewer and Hodgins contributed singles to the cause, A trio of walks helped start the final Dufferin rally in the fifth that produced seven runs. Collecting singles each were Appleby, Brewer and Hodgins. GOOD JUNIOR GAIN — Wayne Regier gained 54 yards in seven carries Saturday as the South Huron junior Panthers defeated Strathroy. Above, Regier picks up a good gain as John Wuerth tries to get in for more blocking help.

Saturday's Exeter Fall Fair will again feature a bigger and better card of racing and the Exeter Kinsmen club is sponsoring an afternoon racing meet on Saturday, October 9. It's quite possible that five district horses will see action.in the same race, Saturday afternoon. In the race for pacers that have won less than $200 in their racing lifetime Super Check, Starflight Water, J. D. Riggs, Dusty's Folly and Ben Arvic are entered. J. D. Riggs, owned by Jim Taylor of Hensall was a winner at the Clinton Raceway, Sunday. Starflight Water is owned jointly by Reg Stagg and Lloyd Schwartzentruber of Exeter, Hugh Galbraith of Shipka owns Super Check, Bob Pooley also of town is the owner of Dusty's Folly and Art Hodgins of Clandeboye owns Ben Arvic. Two other winners at Clinton recently, Margaret Ensign owned by Gerald Lawson, Woodham and Direct Dream owned by John McNeil of Watford and trained by Dave Shamblaw of Kirkton will race in the feature event. Jack Morrissey of Crediton, a veteran in the racing business as an owner and official will be the presiding judge at both local racing events. George Moffatt of London will be the announcer, Saturday. The Kinsmen meet scheduled for October 9 will feature three double heats. Jim Wallace, local racing secretary has set the conditions for the October meeting. The first division will feature non-winners of $250 lifetime and maidens, the second will be open to $2,000 lifetime non-winners and horses that have raced in claiming events under $1,000 and the final division will be for non-winners of $2,000 lifetime. Although, RAP and other officials have not had an opportunity to make any comments on the latest criticism and recommendations made by a Red Cross swimming supervisor regarding changes at the Exeter swimming pool we would expect some of their's may be the same as ours. Recently, Paul McPherson who is a supervisor with the Red Cross informed Rec director Alvin Willert by letter that local registrations for swimming classes were much too large for the three instructors employed. This may be a fact, but to increase the number of instructors will certainly up the costs and to follow all the recommendations to the letter could possibly price the local pool out of business. At the moment, the registration fee for a half-summer term is five dollars with a maximum family rate of ten dollars. At the same time, local swim supervisor Donna Doidge also asked for some changes and we feel her ideas may have some merit. She suggests that classes and registration be definitely limited. While total registrations this past summer were down about 130, the classes were very OrOwded and certainly above Red Cross requirements. By limiting classes, the amount of income will also be restricted. Even this year with a decreased income of $420 from 1970 wages were up by $845. We are certainly not tryinglo say that cost should come ahead of safety but the costs could get prohibitive. Almost everyone will agree that swimming lessons should be an essential part of a youngster's life. The ability to swim is one that can be invaluable throughout every life especially with an increase in the trend to more camping and outdoor life.
