TO"U7:2411.7V3EIACTM418:: Ok4ka cilriMpropts0 Getting back to work after a very enjoyable holiday season is a very difficult task. Our time off included a very large amount of television sports watching, taking a look at three American Bowl games, about four hockey games and numerous sports reviews for 1972. Canadians had plenty of opportunities to watch replays of two sporting events which we feel will probably never be surpassed in excitement. Over the past weekend we saw Paul Henderson score his famous winning goal against the Soviet Union on four different programs. Also, the Grey Cup game with Ian Sunter's successful field goal in the final few moments to win the Canadian football championship for the Hamilton Tiger Cats was shown about the same number of times. Probably the most moving and heart warming scene shown on sports programs for many a moon came Sunday afternoon after the Washington Redskins qualified to play in the Super Bowl on January 14. When the Redskins reached the dressing room im- mediately after ousting the Dallas Cowboys, the celebrations usually associated with a big victory were stalled for at least a few minutes, This is the first time we have ever seen a complete team settle down and absolute silence take over as the more than 50 persons involved engaged in prayer. Announcers for the broadcast had said earlier the Washington win was due to a complete team effort and this became very evident during the post game activities. The TV men said at each position Washington did not have the best players in the league but together they seemed unbeatable. Because of their display of humbleness shown after Sunday's game, the Redskins will certainly be our sentimen- tal favorite when they take on the strong Miami Dolphins in the Super Bowl. NsIt to4+041, ExETER NUTS TOURNAMENT 'A' CHAMPIONS WAXERS WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS — The Exeter Waxers won the two top championships in the third annual Exeter mite hockey tournament held during the holidays at the Exeter arena.

T-A pohoto. Hawks maintain league lead meet Clinton twice this week Good Efforts The calibre of hockey in this area should be high for quite a few years if the performances of two young teams during the holidays is any indication of what lies ahead. The Exeter Waxers won the annual local mite tourna- ment for the first time as they won five straight games, several in dramatic fashion. In the 'A' final against St. Marys, the Waxers scored with one second to go in the game to gain the victory. This team of boys eight years and under playing their first year in organized hockey provide exciting action for the fans. The other area team playing well in a weekend tourna- ment was the Zurich novice team. The Zurich boys playing in the novice division for boys 10 years and under have qualified for a classy tournament. After winning the 'D' championship, they defeated the `C' winners from Ridgetown and will now move into the North American championships to be played in Sarnia on January 21. Art Strohm of the visiting Hawks scored the only goal of the second period, Murray Parsons gave the lead back to Exeter with a power play goal at 7:10 of the final period. Pete Glover and Jim Guenther assisted on the goal. Phil Chessell gave Mitchell the tie when he tallied at 15.08 while Exeter were playing shor- thanded. Mitchell received nine of the thirteen penalties assessed in- cluding a misconduct to Don Nicholson. In a game a week earlier the Hawks defeated the Lambeth Flyers by a 7-4 score. The game was tied 2-2 after one period and Exeter led 4-3 at thee, end of the second' frame before 'they opened up in the final period. 4XeW a 4-3 win over St. Marys. Listowel won the "A" con- solation with a 3-2 win over South London while Forest won similar honours in the "13" division with a 2-0 win over Dorchester, Listowel's win over South London came on a goal by Greg Dahl in the second minute of a sodden-death overtime period. Dave Underwood of the Waxers who scored eight goals in his teams sweep to. the championships was named the most valuable player of the tournament, His closest com- petition came from Terry IlleCutcheon of Brussels who scored 22 goals in four games as his club won the "B" title, McCutcheon failed to score in the, final game against Exeter. The best goal tender in the tourney was Perry Esler of Belmont, On the way to the "B" cham- pionship, Brussels blanked Huron Park 9-0 and Forest 7.0 in opening round games, downed Dorchester 5-1 in the semi-final and bombed Belmont 8-2 in the final game.

In the other "A" game, Listowel edged Hanover 3.1 and in "B" contests Forest downed Belmont 5-1, Belmont edged Dorchester 3.2 and Belmont defeated Forest 5-1. The grand championship game was a close checking affair with the Waxers keeping a close eye on Brussels scoring star Terry McCutcheon only allowing him one shot on goal in the entire contest. Dave Underwood put the Waxers in front early in the second period as he converted a pass from Bill Glover. The in- surance goal came with three • minutes left in the middle frame when Scott Newby took a pass from Scott Pincombe and blinked the red light. Scott Newby's goal at 14.59 of the final period to give Exeter the "A" title brought a wave of protest from the St. Marys bench as they claimed the period was over before the puck went into the net. The first period was even with Newby scoring for the Waxers on a three-way passing effort with Dave Underwood and Scott Pincombe while Steve Tomkins replied for St. Marys. The only goal of the second period was scored by Colin Chambers of St. Marys. Early in the third period, Bill Glover squared the score with an Centennial Sports While Centennial activities in Exeter this year will be spread throughout most of 1973, the big sports day will be July 2. Recreation director Alvin Willert has lined up several top natal attractions for the big day. Included in the events are expected to be a swimming meet, baseball tournament and several soccer games. Soccer was a favorite sport in Exeter at the turn of the century. Two South Huron high school teachers Damien Solomon and Al De Haan are attempting to create a soccer revival in the area.
