This was the case Friday night as the Exeter Hawks took to the ice lanes for the first time since winning the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" championship last spring. Coach Bob White used a total of 25 players in an attempt to find out the qualities of a lot of newcomers. The end result was a 6-4 win by the Strathroy Rockets over the Hawks in a penalty filled contest played at the Huron Park Arena. The Hawks took a 4.1 lead by the 7.51 mark of the second period but the Rockets using a regular line-up of 16 players came back with five unanswered goals to take lime the exhibition victory, Nine regulars from the championship club were in action with the balance made up of graduates from the local bantam and midget ranks and a good group of promising newcomers. Each team scored their first goal in a space of less than a minute near the halfway mark of the first period. Tom Amson, formerly of Dixie and now a resident of Huron Park put the Hawks out in front with an unassisted goal at 10.18, Shortly after Barry Pawson knotted the count for the visiting Rockets. At 12.21, the Hawks again moved a goal in front with Gerald Weido blinking the light behind the Strathroy net on another solo effort. Weido and. lohn Mommersteeg, both with the Zurich. Midgets last year teamed up on a rookie forward line with Harry Smits, a member of the Grand Bend midgets a year ago. The Hawks wasted little time hitting the scoreboard again in the second period, With less than six minutes elapsed defenceman .Jim Guenther blasted in a long, hard shot on a play set up by Weido. At 7.51 the Exeter club Was in front 4-1. Brian Taylor, a graduate of the Exeter minor system completed a passing play with Torn Amson to beat Marty Grigg in the Strathroy nets, Strathroy scored another goal before the second period expired and came on with three suc- cessful shots in the finalperiodlo ensure their victory. John Hay ter and Dwight Jennison shared goal tending duties for the Hawks. The first official league action for the Hawks will take place on Friday, October 27 at the Exeter arena when the league all-stars will be in to do battle with the defending group and provincial champions. The Hawks get back into competition Friday night at 8:30 with the Lambeth Flyers sup- plying the opposition.

T-A photo The two South Huron District High school clubs put everything together Thursday as they scored a double victory over the teams from St. Marys district high school, Offensive and defensive units worked well as both teams were able to record resounding vic- tories. The senior Panthers kept their unbeaten streak going with a resounding 36-0 victory. They now have three wins and a tie in four starts. The Juniors came through with a 26-0 win to up their season record to three wins in four starts. The younger Panthers are now ready to roll after having a 30 game winning streak broken a week earlier by Wingham. The junior club is inactive this week while the seniors travel to Stratford Central this afternoon, Thursday for their only start of the week. Strictly ground gainers Due to very muddy field con- ditions, the senior Panthers were forced to stick to the .;round as passing became impossible. Coach Ron Bogart attributes the decisive victory to excellent efforts by the offence and defence. He commented after the game. "the defence kept St. Marys in their own end all day and the offensive unit was able to take advantage of good field position when the defence recovered the ball on fumbles and interceptions." Dave Cyr was the scoring star for the senior club with no less than three touchdowns as he romped for a total of 254 yards in 15 carries. Cyr wasted little time in getting into action. On the second series of plays after the Panthers took a St, Marys punt, he ambled off tackle for 37 yards and a touch- down. Still in the first quarter, Gerald Woido recovered a fumble on the St. Marys 35 yard line. Two plays later Steve Murley was on the finishing end of a good reverse play and took the ball over from 29 yards out. In the second period, Cyr went to work again and scored his second and third touchdown of the afternoon in quick order. Both scores came in sorties over left guard. The touchdown runs covered 68 and 34 yards respectively. The defensive unit again set up the fifth South Huron touchdown in the third period. Wayne Regier went two yards off tackle after Tim Stover had intercepted a pass on the St. Marys 13-yard line, Before the third-quarter was Girl cagers break even South Huron girls basketball teams returned from Seaforth Tuesday with one win and one loss for their efforts. The Seniors were on the losing end of a 39-31 score while the Juniors eked out an 18-17 victory, In the senior game, the locals were ahead one point at the half and were still ahead at three quarter time. Then, Deb Riddell fouled out early in the fourth quarter and South Huron could not put forth a good team effort on offense, but allowed Seaforth to score three unanswered baskets in the final two minutes of play. Deb Riddell, and Barbara Anne Thomas were the top South Huron scorers with seven and six points respectively. Sandra Stock worked hard on offensive and defensive rebounds, The junior game was an ex- citing mixture of violations, fouls, and "scramble type" basketball for both teams. The game was quite even for the first three quarters but in the final eight minutes, spectators and players alike, displayed their agitation. Down by one basket and with three local players fouled out of the game, the cause seemed lost when Janice Stewart scored just as the buzzer sounded to end the game. A three minute overtime period followed, during which Heather Wein notched a point on a free throw and Gayle Ecker sunk a two-pointer to Seaforth's single basket. The game finally con- cluded with South Huron in front by one point.

Hawks lose exhibition, Take a look Now that most people in Canada have settled down from all the excitement generated from the spine tingling world hockey series between Canada .and Russia we can take a sane and practical look at the situation. The just completed series proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Canadian population as a whole is interested in maintaining our country's image as the best hockey nation in the world. During the final game there was probably less work accomplished in Canada than any Thursday since Confederation Many thoughts and ideas on the series have been bashed about aed probably will for years to come. Various hockey supporters have come out saying Canadian hockey should be re-structured to the Russian pattern. We happened to see a program on Kitchener television the Sunday afternoon im- mediately following the series. The commentator did his best to get one of Kit- chener's minor hockey coaches and a partner in the Walt Tkachuk hockey school to admit the Russian style of play was superior. Outside of saying the Soviet Union club was superior in conditioning, he said he didn't see any need for a switch to their style of play. He emphasized the spearing, butt-ending and the kicking carried on by the Russian team. Getting back to the conditioning, the longer the series went on. the better condition the Canadians were in. This isn't the only reason Team Canada could win only one game at home. Over-confidence was the big stumbling block for our club. The same bad habit for any sports team to get into could have been possible in a smaller measure bothering the Russian team along with more pressure to produce for the home fans. )ATelistenedtoa radio interview between periods of the second Canada-Sweden team before the final four games in Russia and heard some comments from Jack Bownass, a member of several Canadian Olympic teams in the past. Bownass talked about conditioning and his predictions were pretty well borne out on Moscow ice. He said the Russian team peaked their co nd itioning.to meet a specific four or five game series. His exact words were, "If the Russians had to play a 78 game NHL -achedule they would be bushed by Christmas." After the four games in Canada, the Soviet Union players were called "super men" by a few people. In the third period of the final game the Russians were coming back to the bench slowly and were showing effects of the hard fought series. As for the behaviour of the Canadian team it left plenty to be desired. One of the Canadian sports writers, lohn Robertson of the Montreal Star said, "I saw us as a bunch of barbarians being led by a man who qualifies as a walking diplomatic disaster." He was referring to Alan Eagleson who was in trouble with Russian officials several times during the series. The Toronto lawyer's 'finger' to the Russian crowd after the winning Canadian goal was certainly in bad taste. We had a chance over the weekend to talk to Bill Rader of Dashwood and Parkhill, the only person we know of from this area who made the trip to Moscow. While Bill admits he wasn't a hockey fan when he went. he said he is now. The tremendous enthusiasm generated by the 2,700 Canadian fans rubbed off on the local man. He said most Canadian fans were disgusted by the behaviour of Al an Eagleson, but were over- whelmed with the spirit and never-give-u p attitude of Team Canada, He gives the loyal fans'at rink-side a lot of the credit for stirring up the team. Tig ers still fighting One of the big reasons the Detroit Tigers won the Eastern championship in the American league was the wonderful fan support the club received in the crucial closing games. The clinching win came with four stalwart fans from Exeter in the stands last Tuesday night. To quote local barber Gerry Smith, "we've seen a lot of ball games in Detroit, but never anything like that." Al Kaline drove in the winning runs with his 22nd hit in his last 44 trips to the plate. Aub Farquhar commented, - it was a command performance by Al Kaline." Enjoying the game with Smith and Farquhar were Howard Bolt/man and Gerry Webb. At the time of this writing, the Tigers are behind the eight ball but. the local fans have plenty of con- fidence. Says Howie Holtzman, "the Tigers in five over Oakland While a lot of the major league clubs have suf- fered deereasea in attendance this year, the. Tigers have an increase of more than 25 percent at the gate. TABallQuiz Answers to last week's questions — Yogi.
