Believe it or not, the Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres are undefeated in their first five or six starts in regular season NHL play along with the Montreal Canadiens, In the instances of the Detroit and Buffalo club, youth seems to be the answer. In addition to a fairly good youth movement at Detroit, general manager Ned Harkness and coach Johnny Wilson are emphasizing a rigorous training and conditioning program. Under the guidance of Lloyd Percival and the Fitness Institute Limited, the Detroit Red Wings training system has changed drastically. When Sid Abel was the coach, the team often postponed practice sessions to head to nearby race tracks to relax. With the Percival system in operation, the players are spending many hours on the ice, not always in practice with a hockey stick and puck but doing various exercises planned to bring them to top form as far as conditioning is concerned. One of the bright young stars with the Wings this year is Len Fontaine who spent the last four years rather anonymously with Port Huron of the International league, We can remember Fontaine quite well as a niember of the Point Edward Redmen when they played against the Exeter Hawks in OHA Junior "C"ranks about six years ago. At Buffalo, the Sabre operation started by Punch Imlach is getting into high gear and the younger players are leading the way. Rick Martin and Gil Perrault are heading out as if they are planning on setting the league on fire. At the other end of the standings of the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs are well bedded down near the bottom. Over the weekend against the Detroit Red Wings, the Leaf defence was very weak, allowing the hustling Wings to fly in on young Ron Low in the nets continously. In Sunday night's game due to the lack of a properly functioning light behind the one goal the goal judge was equipped with a towel to signify a goal. He was situated behind the Toronto net so had little cause to wave his towel. This action was sort of a throwback to the good old days in hockey in these parts when the goal judge stood behind the net on the open air rinks and raised his arm when a goal was scored. It took a brave man to stand behind the nets in those days. He not only had to be on the alert from high flying pucks but could also be fair game for errant body checks. Off to a good start The Lucan-Ilderton Jets made their first start in the new Ontario Hockey Association Senior "B" league a winning one with a very convincing win over the London Kings as the new Ilderton arena was officially opened Sunday afternoon. Despite the lack of pre-season exhibition games, the Jets continually outhustled the London club and were full measure for their 6-3 victory. Every one of the Jet performers turned in a good effort and coach Jack Nairn will have quite a chore on his hands in selecting a regular team. Several other regular members of last year's team did not dress Sunday but will likely be back in action in upcoming games. Three players from the Exeter area turned in solid performances. Bill Fairbairn and Barry Baynham each scored a goal and Bill Bourne was strong on the defence. Sitting out the first game were Larry Willert and Terry Bourne from this area along with Jacques Cousineau and manager Don Urbshott. The performance of the Jets was gratifying especially when the London team had already played three times. The Kings, basically made up of players from last year's Jim Ball Sheet Metal club downed other Senior "B" clubs from Woodstock, Stratford and Preston in pre-season starts. If Sunday's first show is any indication of what is to come fans in the entire area from here to Ilderton are in for a good season of hockey. At the same time, Bob White is moulding his Exeter junior Hawks into another good club and should make a strong try at defending the Ontario Junior "D" cham- pionship brought back to Exeter last April. Busier than ever This week the winter schedule at the Exeter area gets underway in full swing and will continue until next spring. Area manager Alvin Willert reports a busier than ever schedule. Saturday's registration of figure skaters drew the largest first day response ever. More than 100 girls and boys signed up in the first session and this is the largest group ever attending the first day of registration. If any others wish to attend they are asked to come to the arena next Monday afternoon when the first training sessions start. The figure skating club under the guidance of president Jack Underwood and pro Brad Loosley will have the use of the local arena for eleven hours each week for the winter months, this is an increase of two weekly hours. More groups in the area are taking advantage of facilities at the arena. Physical education classes from South Huron District High School will be using the ice surface every school day from 10,19 in the morning until 1.07 in the afternoon. The figure skaters will be on the ice each Monday from 3.30 until 9.30 in the evening and every Tuesday from 3,30 until 8.30 at night. Each Wednesday and Friday afternoon at 2.30, the popular moms and tots skating sessions will be held, Wednesday nights will be devoted to action of the three Exeter all-star teams performing in the Shamrock minor hockey league. The Exeter and district Rec hockey loop is expected to take over the Thursday night slot again with most of the Exeter Hawks junior games taking place Friday nights. Speaking of the Hawks they will be in action for the first time on local ice Friday night at 8.30 when they take on the Western grouping all-stars. Minor house league hockey dominates the arena schedule each Saturday with continuous action from nine in the morning until eight at night when public skating takes over. A minor league from Huron East in London has the ice booked for three hours each Sunday morning with public skating taking care of the afternoon hours and the Ausable hockey league swinging into action at night. One of the most successful seasons as far as the regular season is concerned for football teams at South Huron District High School comes to a close this afternoon, Thursday. The two local teams play host to Goderich in a double header, The senior club has already clinched at least a tie for first place in the regular standings and the juniors could end up in a tie for the top spot with a win this afternoon. The seniors came up with a solid two-way performance Thursday as they blanked Central Huron of Clinton 32-0 to remain undefeated. The only blotch on an otherwise perfect record was a tie earlier in the season with Wingham. The junior Panthers dropped a game to Wingham a few weeks ago after going 30 straight games without losing. On the way they won three straight Huron-Perth championships. In Thursday's other game, the juniors kept their pennant chances alive by downing Central Huron by a score of 43-20. The playoff situation is quite muddled at the moment. It is expected both South Huron teams will be at home Tuesday af- ternoon in the first of playoff Two championships were picked off by students from South Huron District High school in Friday's Huron-Perth cross country meet held at St. Marys. Kim Postill won her second Sharpshooters continue in lead While the Sharpshooters hold a three pbint lead at the top of the standings in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league most of the balance of the teams are closely bunched. The Sharpshooters have 19 points in first place. The Canners are second with 16 points while the Doublers are alone in third spot with 15 points. Then the congestion starts. The BA's and Late Niters have 14 points apiece while the Dark Angels, Winkers and Shiphunters are deadlocked at 13 points each. Friday's scores were: Canners 5 - Swimmers 0 DP's 4 - Doublers 1 Dark Angels 4 - BA's 1 Quiet Ones 3 - Itchy Four 2 Featherflights 3 - BJ's 2 Winkers 3 - Late Niters 2 Shiphunters 3 - Dart Sharks 2 Sharpshooters 3 - Scotties 2 This week's schedule is as follows: 8 p.m. Swimmers vs Doublers Shiphunters vs Featherflights Itchy Four vs Sharpshooters Scotties vs Quiet Ones 9.30 p.m, Canners vs Dark Angels Dart Sharks vs BJ's DP's vs Late Niters I3A's vs Winkers games regardless of the results of the final games. Severa l injuries The senior club will be without the services of at least three of their top performers for to-day's games and probably longer. Quarterback Perry Stover missed the last contest because of a broken nose. His place was ably filled by his brother Tim, The regular signal caller will probably be back for the playoffs. Expected to be out for the season are Gord Pryde with a concussion and Gary Levier sidelined with torn knee ligaments. Tim Stover handled the quarterback duties in the win over Clinton in excellent fashion despite only two days of practice at that position. Key factors in the 32-0 win were the signal calling of Stover, the fine running of back Dave Cyr and Paul Robinson's educated toe, Cyr scored two touchdowns and had another one called back while Robinson was good on three convert attempts and kicked the same number of single points. Coach Bogart said after the game, "This is the best game We straight individual title, this time in the junior division. Last year she was victorious in the midget section. The midget crown was won this time by Janet Gielen, also of South Huron. The two girls along with two boys and the entire midget girls team will be representing South Huron in Saturday's Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association competition in Alvinston. In addition to Janet Gielen, other members of the midget girls team are Debbie Fink- beiner, Ann Muller, Kathy Scott, Kathy Dejong, Elaine Pfaff and Chris Cathbart. Representing SHDHS from the boys teams will be Kevin Bestard in junior ranks and Steve Miller as a midget. Bestard has been well up in the standings in six meets held during the early season. Coach Joe Fulop says Bestard has a good chance to take the WOSSA championship as the Alvinston course is to his liking. Earlier in the week, he finished second in another meet, also staged in St., Marys, Others placing well up in the standings in the Huron-Perth meet were Tony Kyle in the midget boys and Agnes Van Esbroeck in the junior girls competition, In official competition, the distance in girls events is one and three-quarter miles„ while the boys race at three different distances. The midget boys go two miles and a half, the juniors race a distance of three miles and a half and the senior distance is another mile farther. have been able to put together all year. Everyone played well." Cyr was good for 127 yards in 23 rushes into the line while Randy Regier picked up 53 yards in nine tries and Steve Murley with one gallop of 30 yards gained a total of 55 yards in only four carries, In addition to the two majors scored by Cyr, Pius Dietrich and Tim Stover each chalked up a touchdown. Dietrich made a good catch on a Stover pass and went 24 yards into the end zone while Stover plunged over from one yard out, The other two South Huron points came when Brad Oke caught the Clinton quarterback in his own end zone for a two point safety touch. Randy Preszcator was a standout on .the South Huron defence and ran a punt back a distance of 50 yards, Statistics showed the Panthers to be well ahead. They came up with a total offence of 330 yards as opposed to only 99 by their • Clinton opponents. In first downs it was South Huron in front 18 to 7. Off to quick start In the junior game, the Pan- thers were off and running in a hurry. They scored in the first series on only five plays, Quar- terback Bill Wilson opened the scoring by going 25 yards on a sweep around the end. Wilson was right back in action with a successful pass to Tim Ross for two points on the con- vert. The second series of plays for South Huron produced another six points. This time fullback Paul TrUemner made it over the line from 25 yards out, The convert attempt failed. Only a few minutes later, John Nelson blocked a Clinton kick and the ball was recovered by Tom Richardson, On the next play, Bill Wilson hit Randy Dietrich with a 16 yard pass and South Huron's third touchdown of the afternoon. Wilson ran the ball in for the tow point convert and the score was 22-0. The strong South Huron of- fensive play continued in the second quarter and two more touchdowns put the score to 35-0 at half time. The strong running of Paul Truemner and the pass catching of Steve Knight set up the first Panther major of the second quarter. Brian Taylor went over from the one yard line. The alert Panther defence was responsible for setting up the next touchdown. Gary Jennison picked off a Clinton pass and five plays later Paul Truemner scored from the two yard line. Before the first half ended Bill Wilson kicked a single point. The final Panther points came in the fourth quarter after the Central Huron boys chalked up a total of 20 points. Brian Taylor went over the line on a seven yard off tackle play and Bill Wilson hit Randy Fun- ston with a pass for the convert good for two points. Wilson had an excellent day in the passing department, hitting on nine of 13 attempts.

Larry Haugh, captain of the 1971-72 Hawks will miss Friday's game as be will be in action with the Fa nshawe Falcons . Six different scorers Completing a good team effort in Tuesday's exhibition win, six different Hawk players shared in the scoring, The game was only five minutes old when Pete Glover put the Hawks out in front with the only goal of the opening period on an unassisted effort, In the first half of the second frame, each team scored once to preserve the one goal Exeter lead. Dave Beer counted the Exeter marker, again on a solo effort, this time on 'a clean-cut breakaway. Beer suffered a leg injury in the third period and was forced to leave the game. Jim Avery fired the only Mitchell goal of the second ppriod near the halfway mark. Before the period was completed, the Hawks took a 4-1 margin, Kevin Bestard was on the firing end of the first of the two scores grabbing a loose puck from a scramble around the Mitchell net and put the puck behind Bob White in the Mitchell goal. Randy Gilfillan completed the middle period scoring as he took the puck behind the Mitchell net and moved right out in front to find an open spot in the net, Mitchell took over the scoring power in the final session, getting four successful shots away to only two goals garnered by the Hawks, John Mommersteeg accounted for the fifth Hawk marker at the 5.22 mark of the third period completing a three-way passing effort with line-mates Gerald Weido and Harry Smits. The final Hawk goal came from the stick of Peter Kleinstiver just past the 11 minute mark on a play started by Brian Campbell.
