In the first game of the best-of- seven series, Friday night, the Hawks overcame a 3-1 deficit and went on to post a 4-3 win in overtime. Sunday night in Clinton it was the same story as the Hawks scored with less than five minutes to go in the third period to gain a 2-2 tie with the Mustangs. A ten minute overtime period failed to break the deadlock.

In other playoff action, the Mitchell Hawks lead the Strathroy Falcons two games to one while the Belmont Sunsets drubbed the Lucan Irish 1-1 in their first game. Come Close In the dying minutes of the third period and again in over- time the Hawks came close to getting the winning goal but the puck failed to go into the net. The first period was scoreless and the Hawks notched the only goal of the second session'. At came from the stick of defen- ceman Randy Tiernan on a three- way effort with Kevin Bestard and Brian Campbell. Clinton took to the attack in the third period. Dan Colquhoun evened the score at 9.34 and less than five minutes later he hit the target again to put the Mustangs in front. The tying marker for the Hawks was shot by Glenn Weido with the assist going to Pete Glover at 15.57. Referees Jim Shurrie and Jim Bya tt called a total of 13 penalties with the Hawks taking seven. The only penalty to affect the scoring came in the third period when Colquhoun notched his second goal while captain Jim Guenther of the Hawks was off for tripping. Guenther was the hero of the Hawks overtime win Friday night as he blasted the puck past Gary Yeoman in the Clinton nets at the 7.45 mark of the extra session. The burly defenceman scored on an unassisted effort. The Mustangs scored twice in the first period and once early in the third while the Hawks could only get a midway first period score. Ron Graham and Paul Johnson were the Clinton marksmen in the opening session with goals only 23 seconds apart while John Mommersteeg tallied for the Hawks on a good combination with Perry Stover and Harry Smits. Clinton moved ahead 3-1 with a club chalking up wins by scores of 11-1 and 14-3; At the same time the Legion bantams sidelined their South goal at 19 seconds of the closing session, It didn't take the Hawks too long to get back on even terms, At 2.34 Perry Stover made the score closer as he finalized a play with Brian Bestard and Pete Gill, Only four minutes later Brian Campbell put the two clubs on even terms with assists going to Gill and Stover. Penalties played a big part in Friday's scoring. All three Clinton goals came with Hawks in the penalty box while two of the Exeter goals were produced with one opposition player resting in the sin bin. Craig driver finishes 39th A rookie racing team from Western Ontario placed 39th Sunday in the 14th annual Daytona 500 auto race at Daytona Beach, Florida. Earl Ross, who hails from Ailsa Craig was haunted with engine trouble during his racing stay in Florida. In Thursday's 125 mile qualifying race, Ross finished 14th with his Red Cap "52", a 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. He was able to complete the race despite blowing a valve. A brand new 427 cubic inch motor was put into the car Saturday but it also "conked out" after completing only 34 laps. The Ailsa Craig driver earned $1,025 in the big race, plus a guaranteed bonus of $10,000 from Canadian Breweries Limited, sponsors of the team for com- pleting at least one lap. The sponsors have reportedly spent close to $150,000 since July in preparation for the big race. The seven man crew charged with keeping the car in operation is headed by Ken McKichan.

It's the Exeter figure skating club annual carnival and it promises to be bigger and better than ever. For the first time the show will be staged with two performances. In ad- ditional to the usual Saturday night event, a Saturday matinee will' be held. Club president Jack Underwood and his enthusiastic ex- ecutive and club pro Brad Loosley have been working energetically on making the show a great success. More than 175 area boys and girls are registered in the club and all will see action in at least one number in the car- nival which is entitled, "A Centennial Salute on Blades to Boot." The first half of the carnival will feature some of the younger skaters in preparation for a big Centennial party with acts including balloons, fruit salad and a birthday cake, The second portion will be aimed at a historical look over the past one hundred years. Included will be an old fashioned parade, Indian chiefs, square dances, covered wagons and of course rodeo action. Spectators will again be treated to several comedy acts. Jack Underwood refrained from telling us exactly what the laugh getting performances will be but he did say, "there will be some horsing around and that's no bull, Also, the one act will be lovabull." The guest skaters are again of top quality. They are Janice Blakely and Reid McDonald of the Preston figure skating club and Jeff Loosley, a brother of the Exeter pro. Jeff finished second in the novice division in the recent Western Ontario championships. • An interesting fact in this year's club is the large number of boys participating. More than 40 boys are members. About half of these are enrolled in power skating courses, some play on Exeter's minor all star hockey teams but all will be taking part in the carnival. This carnival always provides plenty of entertainment and a few smiles as the youngest of the figure skaters go through their performances. It's well worth your support and time for a couple of hours come Saturday afternoon or evening. Congratulations Congratulations go to a couple of Exeter sporting teams who turned in excellent performances over the week-end and came close to bringing home the big awards. First of all a curling rink representing the Exeter Legion placed second in the all-Ontario curling cham- pionships held in Trenton last week. The rink skipped by Jim Hewitt won six games while losing two and were in contention for the provincial crown right down to the final game. They lost their last game 6-4. A win in this contest would have given the Exeter boys a tie for first place with the Georgetown club which eventually were named winners. Other members of the runner-up Exeter rink were Press Lavier, Peter Raymond and Jake Marks. The wrestling team from South Huron District High School again came close to the Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association title in Sarnia, Saturday. Going into the finals, the Panthers trailed by only five points but were un- able to make up the deficit. Dave Cyr won an individual championship in his weight class. Close Playoffs Playoff hockey is speeding up this week with three Ex- eter clubs still in the running and the competition is really keen. In the OHA Junior "D" semifinal, the Exeter Hawks and Clinton Mustangs are hooked up in a real battle. The Hawks won the first game Friday night 4-3 in overtime while the two teams went an extra ten minutes Sunday night and ended in a 2-2 draw. The series which continues at the Exeter arena Friday night goes back to Clinton Sunday and here the following Tuesday for a fifth contest is providing an excellent brand of hockey. The minor hockey teams are also dishing up exciting ac- tion. The Exeter pee wees after disposing of St. Marys and London South dropped a close 4-3 decision to Delhi Sunday in the first of a best-of-three series in OMHA play. The game was decided in overtime. The second game of the pee wee set goes at the Exeter arena Sunday afternoon at 4.30, This is a good chance to come out and support the enthusiastic young hockey players as they try to advance down the playoff trail. The bantams are also starting out in third round provin- cial play. After eliminating St. Marys and London South, the bantams now take on Port Dover. The first game was played in Exeter Wednesday night and the second contest goes in Port Dover Sunday. afternoon at two o'clock, We met a very enthusiastic hockey fan from Port Dover in St. Joseph's hospital in London last week. He tells us Port Dover has a strong club with one of their top players being Len Jankowski, a son of former big leaguer Len Jankowski, now performing in the Western league. Drastic steps While most professional hockey teams are putting the prices of their admission tickets up, Charlie Finley owner of the California Golden Seals is doing the exact opposite. Finley is taking drastic steps to turn the poor home attendance situation around for his team. He is reported prepared to cut the ticket prices in half for the remaining Seals home games this season, Finley was quoted as saying, "If I'm going to go broke I'd rather do it with a full house at half the price than 2,500 fans at full price." A bowling special Just received a bulletin from the Exeter cowling Lanes. Russ King rattled the pins Monday night for a score of 343.
