White said this was the hardest year to make the choice with quite a few players in the running. He said his selection, Kevin Bestard came along well and at times during the year was one of the better men on the ice. He added, "Kevin not only has gumption, but guts," Captain Jim Guenther on behalf of the entire team thanked coach Bob White and manager Bob Baynham for their efforts throughout the year, Gord Kirk, donor of the OHA western grouping league championship trophy gave the Hawks permanent possession after winning it three years in succession, H & K Sports Centre presented each member of the Hawks with a Centennial trophy, Lloyd Moore, coach of the Exeter Legion Auxiliary pee wees, Ontario "B" champs was given a large key.

A DOUBLE WINNER — At Elementary schools compete in basketball Three district schools were represented in an elementary schools basketball tournament held at South Huron District High School, Friday afternoon. Exeter public school won the boys division with two wins in as many starts in the round-robin competitions and the girls section was won by Hensall public school, also with double wins. In boys play, Exeter edged Hensall 19-15 and, downed J.A.D. McCurdy of Huron Park 21-15 in an exciting contest which was decided in the last few minutes of play. In the other boys game Hensall defeated McCurdy 22-6, The Hensall girls downed Exeter 17-12 and McCurdy by a score of 20-0. The other game Athlete at provincial For the first time, South Huron District High School was represented in the all-Ontario Secondary Schools gymnastic meet. Cathy Easton of the local school competed in Toronto Saturday and received an ex- cellent mark of 6.8 points for her floor exercise routine. Two weeks earlier, Cathy was the winner of the novice division floor exercise at the WOSSA gymnastic meet held at Saunders Secondary school in London. resulted in a win for Exeter over McCurdy by a score of 22-2. Good news One of the rule changes made at the annual meeting of the Ontario Hockey Association should be welcome news to some of the members of this year's Exeter Hawks junior hockey club. The OHA decided to increase the age limit for Junior "C" and "D" hockey players to 21. This will give all boys an extra year of junior competition. We think this is an excellent move. With only a few ex- ceptions over the past few years, graduating members of the Hawks have not continued their hockey playing to any degree. There are very few avenues for the over-age juniors to continue their hockey playing in this area and this move will assure them of at least one more season of hockey. One disadvantage to this move would be the fact there will be less chances for younger players to make the grade as quickly in junior hockey, This could open up the possibili- ty of more juvenile teams in the area, giving top notch midgets one year of higher class of competition before mov- ing on to junior ranks. Athlete's head serious An article in the March edition of Sport Ontario News regarding attitudes in amateur sport was very interesting. The article was headed, "Athletes head is more serious than athlete's foot." We would like to copy some of the statements from the magazine. "Anybody who is close to amateur athletics knows the value of a positive approach. There is power in positive thinking. The problem for the coach is how to inculcate positive thinking on his players. Do you motivate athletes by challenging them, fathering them, or chastising them? The answer is probably all three. All of the three approaches work with some athletes, but when you look closely at all training programs, there are usually key phases or slogans that a coach uses to urge his players to greater efforts. A simple phrase like, "A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins," when repeated at the right time, can evoke a greater effort from an athlete. Recognizing the connection between slogans and effort, the Canadian Volleyball Association, through its junior development program, has had 60 different slogan cards printed up on 81/2 by 11 inch cardboard. These cards were designed to be hung in the locker room to help motivate players, and to channel thoughts on which to build concen- tration for a game or a training session. These 60 phrases speak to almost every kind of athlete. For the cocky superstar you have such reminders as; "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts," "Athletes' head is more serious than athletes' foot," and "The fellow who blows his horn the loudest, is usually in the biggest fog." For the athlete who lacks a little confidence we have such inspirational pieces as: "If you think it cannot be done, you are ,absolutely right," and "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." At the normal inspirational level we have: "No one has ever drowned in sweat," "The next effort is the most impor- tant one," and "It is no disgrace to be defeated, but it is a disgrace to remain so." Though these slogans were developed through the volleyball program, they apply to most sports and they can be purchased through the OVA office at 559 Jarvis Street, Toronto M4Y 2J1, Ontario. They can be purchased in sets of 20 at 82.00 per set, or the complete package of 60 cards for 85.00. A new sport A new summer sport originated by the Port Dover Kinsmen club sounds as if it could become popular in many areas, especially for those wishing to compete without a great deal of ability or top notch physical conditioning. The game is called blooper ball. It is basically the same as softball with some rule changes. One of the big differences in the rules comes in the pitching department where the pitcher must lob the ball to the plate attaining a bloop or arc of at least 10 feet. Making it easier for the pitcher, five balls instead of the normal four consitute a base on balls. To give the batters a good variety a different pitcher must be used every inning. More players are also allowed to get into action at any one time. A fielding team is to consist of ten players, with the extra fielder being a rover and may station himself on any part of the field. If some players on the team like to bat but aren't too fussy about going on the defence this game will be popular. Everyone on the team takes his turn at the plate but only ten can take the field. A lot of energy will not necessarily be expended as base stealing is not allowed. A runner must wait for a hit to ad- vance and trying to slide into a base calls for an automatic out. An attempted bunt also is an automatic out. More on new rule We have mentioned several times recently about the new designated hitter rule in the American baseball league. Over the weekend we read some comments from pitcher Jim Palmer of the Baltimore Orioles regarding the new rule. Palmer sees himself giving up a distinct edge to the opposition. While being a 20 game winner for the past three seasons Palmer also bats about .200 which is very high for a pitcher. Palmer commented, "I can hit a long ball and I can bunt, meaning that normally I have a jump on the opposing pitcher. Well, if the two of us are kept away from the plate in favour of the designated hitter, I am going to lose that jump." The Baltimore pitcher assures you that American league viewers will be seeing bigger innings now that the pitcher isn't around to bunt into double plays. He also says there will be fewer strike-outs. Pitchers at bat could be counted on for two fannings per game. But Palmer sees a counterbalancing feature to the new rule. Since a pitcher who is behind won't be removed for a pinch hitter he will likely be kept in the game longer. This way there should be no reduction in the number of 20-game winners. Repeatedly, the question has been raised over the duster pitch and its ultimate effect now that pitchers who throw it no longer will be a direct target for retaliation. In other words, it won't be like the National League, Where Juan Marichal must come to bat for himself after spilling guys into the dirt. Wednesday night at the annual banquet of the Exeter junior Hawks coach Bob White said he would be back to coach again next year, At the same time White paid tribute to the four Hawks who would be over age for the 1973-74 season. The coach said, "we sure are going to miss you. It was great hockey you've given me and the people from Exeter." White was referring to captain Jim Guenther, John Hayter, Brian Bestard and Brian Camp- bell, Only three days later, the Ontario Hockey Association made a rule change for Junior "C" and "D" clubs raising the age limit by one yar. The four players who were expected to graduate will likely be back and re-united with their coach. The possibility of an extension of the age limit was mentioned at the banquet by coach White, who suggested it could also mean that Dave Beer could join the team next year. Beer played some games for the club this past season but was declared ineligible by the OHA due to a residency rule, In summing up the past season, White said the Hawks cut their penalty total in half. He added, "the more you can stay on the ice the better off you are, That's the way we have to look at hockey." The coach praised the work of arena manager Alvin Willert and assistant Gary Middleton saying the ice at the Exeter arena was the best in the league. He also paid tribute to the club's trainers Gerard O'Rourke, Pete Mason and Doug Fairbairn. Exeter Minor Hockey Association president Bev Skinner thanked all members of his executive and the house league coaches for their, con- tributions during the season. Skinner said he was pleased with the performance of the Hawks making it a worthwhile year. In addition to the executive and coaches Skinner thanked Bob Drummond, Joe Gosar, Derry Boyle, Wally Burton, Len McKnight, Glenn McKnight, coach Bob White and manager Bob Baynham. EMHA past president Harvey Pfaff said he enjoyed sitting back this year watching the "Brown Machine" in action. On behalf of the town of Exeter, Reeve Derry Boyle said he was just as proud of this year's club as the champions of 1971-72.! Boyle continued, "we will ha've winning Hawk clubs for 'many years to come." In the award department two members of the Hawks won double honours. Jim Guenther won the Jim Rundle trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs and was also named the club's top defenceman, Perry Stover was named the rookie of the year and received the Gary Middleton trophy as the most gentleman-like player on the club. John Hayter was voted the most valuable Hawk during the regular season and Pete Glover A woman never admits she has lost an argument. She just thinks she has failed to make her position clear. There's one advantage to the music the younger generation goes for today — nobody can whistle it.
