Phone 235-24T 1 Exeter Page 8 Times-Advocate, May 24, 1973 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross ..Houph Baseball Friday night the 1972 Huron-Perth intermediate baseball league schedule opens and the new season will be officially underway. In the first game of the year, the Exeter Expos travel to Dashwood to meet the Tigers in an eight o'clock contest. The Expos will be at home on their home diamond at Exeter Community Park Sunday afternoon at two o'clock to the Walkerton club, The wet weather of the past month has curtailed prac- tices of all clubs so the first few games will actually be the first chances most managers will have to take a look at their prospective personnel It is expected both the Dashwood and Exeter clubs will have virtually the same line-ups as a year ago with the possible addition of a few performers up from the minor ranks.

With the help of coaches Ron Bogart and Ted Girard, one of Canada's oldest sports is being added to the local school agenda. Only exhibition games are scheduled for this year as students get a chance to get more accustomed to the game, Female referees A new idea for officials for minor hockey games in amateur ranks in the United States seems to be successful and could work in Canada also, A minor league in the Indianapolis area has three women hockey referees and the experiment is working very well. One of the lady officials says the presence of women referees seems to cut down somewhat on the emotional response of the boys parents. She added, "the fans seem.to control themselves better with women referees and the boys themselves complain less than they do with male referees." Thinking back to the mite hockey tournaments held at the Exeter arena each Christmas holiday season over the past couple of years, women referees might be the answer. If our memory serves us correctly mothers of the eight years and under hockeyists were the most vociferous and critical of the officiating. Plenty of instruction available Opportunities for young boys both in Canada and the United States to get good coaching during the summer are growing by leaps and bounds, The number of hockey schools and sports training camps are continually increasing. In the latest issue of Hockey News we counted no less than 28 advertisements for hockey schools. haVe given Wilbur Wood of the Chicago club a gobti crack at the twenty game target. The way the big left hander has started off it "wood" be almost impossible for him to score less than the twenty vic- tories. The White Sox have won 21 of their first 33 games and Wood has taken 10 of those wins. Throwing knuckle balls most of the time, Wood has stood the American league hitters on their heads with his pitches that flutter around on their way to the plate. If Wood is able to continue his early season winning pattern, junior circuit records could go for a real beating. Wood has already started more than one-third of his club's 33 games and with this pattern could be starting at least 44 more games. With wins in half his starts which is not impossible, the Chicago hurler could re-write the record book. Well, one can dream anyway. While talking about Wood's outstanding performances with the knuckle ball it seems strange that more pitchers wouldn't try to specialize with the pitch. Over the years there have been very few effective knuckleballers. The most famous would likely be Hoyt Wilhelm who was around the American league for many years. Doesn't favour curved stick One of the most successful amateur hockey players in the province of Ontario told members of the Lucan Legion sponsored minor hockey program Saturday night that the curved stick should not be used by minor hockey players, Jack Nairn, playing coach of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets, Ontario's new Senior "B" champs said he tried a curved stick at the beginning of the just concluded season but changed back to a regular blade rather quickly. Nairn who is very adept at getting the puck from his op- posing centre on face-offs said he was unable to pull the puck back with a curved stick. He also said the puck was hard to control when moving in on goal especially when one tried to draw the puck back and forth to pull the netminder out of position, Nairn praised the performance of two Lucan minor graduates who were valuable members of the Jets this year. He referred to Dave Revington dnd Tom Hodgins. He added Revington had the distinction of scoring the first goal of the season against London and getting the final goal of the season for the Jets in the championship final against the Stratford Perths, The Jets coach stressed the importance of education to the minor hockey players, He said the two best goalies in hockey today, Ken Dryden and Tony Esposito have com- pleted their university education, In reply to a question about the calibre of play in the NHL, Nairn said, "it's certainly watered down with expan- sion and emergence of the WHA, this is good for the players but not for the fans." When asked who his idol in the NHL was when he was breaking into hockey Nairn replied, "Bert Omstead. He was a lot like myself, couldn't skate too well but was good in the corners."
