How(e) about tha t The biggest announcement to be made in professional hockey in recent years could hit the news headlines this week. Chances are very high that Gordie Howe and his two sons Mark and Marty will sign this week with the Houston Aeros of the World Hockey Association, During the late years of a very successful career with the Detroit Red Wings, the famous No. 9 let it be known he would like to stay around long enough to play on the same club with his two sons, Howe made some comments on the situation during the Charlie Conacher Awards dinner held at the Royal York hotel in Toronto, Thursday night. Everybody in attendance wanted to know when he and his sons would sign contracts to play for Houston. Howe in- formed them he might make a decision during a series of conferences being held with the Houston club this week. Howe made it clear that if the proposition was right, hockey announcers across the WHA could be heard this coming winter saying, "the goal by Howe from Howe and Howe." This has been a dream of the elder Howe ever since his sons first showed promise of following in his footsteps as proficient hockey players. We remember back to a mite tournament at the RCAF station in Clinton quite a few years ago when the two Howe boys were in action for a detroit mite team. Gordie's wife Colleen accompanied the boys to the Clinton event. The boys impressed onlookers at that early age and have improved ever since. At Toronto Thursday night, Gordie left the impression that he would rather have had this happen at the Olympia in Detroit than in Houston. He recalled, "I used to dream of the boys on a line with me when we had the sponsored teams and a fellow could turn pro at 17 if he was good enough." "When the NHL adopted the universal draft and a boy had to graduate from junior before turning pro, I sort of scrapped the dream. At my age, there was just no way.", he continued. Howe said that when Houston drafted Mark (18) and Marty (19) at the recent WHA meetings he felt that at 45 there was still a chance for him to make the dream come true. The Houston management wasted little time in contac- ting the senior Howe to ask if he would consider playing on the same team with his sons. Gordie checked with Marty and Mark and found they were all for having father join them on a pro team. Now if an agreement can be reached, Houston could become Howetown. When asked of this happening, Gordie remark- ed, "it's about 90 percent certain we will be in Houston next winter." The Detroit Red Wings have apparently been in touch with Clarence Campbell asking for a bending of the rules to allow the Howe boys to play for Detroit. There doesn't appear to be much chance the NHL owners and governors would comply with a request of this nature., This aiipears to be the big difference between the two top pro hockey, leagues at the moment. The WHA wastes little time in bending their rules in - order for a league team to land a top notch player. They helped the Winnipeg Jets land Bobby Hull of the Chicago Black Hawks and this move certainly paid off in getting the new loop a goodly amount of recognition. Gordie Howe now has a good executive position with the Detroit club but he doesn't seem to be getting enough action. He said in Toronto last week that if he didn't show up at the Red Wings office for a week he probably wouldn't be miss- ed. A dark horse While most of the attention for the upcoming Queen's Plate race is being given to La Prevoyante, keep an eye out for a dark horse. We're not sure if he is a dark horse as far as colour is concerned but the animal we have in mind should be a dark one as far as wagering goes. His name is Sinister Purpose and as the name implies it will be his sinister purpose to steal the Queen's Plate. One of the horse's owners, Brigadier Denny Whittaker says, "our colt will win the Queens Plate. Mark my words." Sinister Purpose recently won a mile and a sixteenth race in one minute, forty two and three-fifth seconds, which is ex- ceptionally good for this distance. Brigadier Whittaker is probably better known as the front man for the Canadian equestrian program and was manager of the jumping team which won this nation's only gold medal during the 1968 Olympics at Mexico City. The problem for Canadian equestrian teams during the past four years has been a lack of good horses. Our country has excellent riders like Jim Elder, Jim Day, Liz Ashton, Kelly Hall-Holland, Terry Leibel and Ian Miller. The horse situation was helped a bit recently when Conn Smythe gave the equestrian group a horse. He is a six year- old gelding, Big Blue Bomber named by Smythe in the memory of the late Charlie Conacher, one of the greatest stars the Toronto Maple Leafs ever had. Big Blue Bomber won a division of the 1970 Queens Plate trials, then finished sixth behind Almoner in the plate itself and hadn't shown much inclination to run well since. But he was a tough competitor, willing to learn and strong and Smythe thought he might make a good jumper. Whoops, wrong brand In last week's reports of the Exeter Legion mixed dart league we reported Ross Jinks formerly of Hensall as being the sales representative for the wrong distillery. Actually, Ross is the good-will ambassador for Melcher's. Sorry about that.

The Seaforth club scored 11 runs in the first inning and were never headed. Exeter got into more of a scoring mood late in the game with eight runs in the top of the seventh. The first three Exeter runs in the opening frame came on only one hit, a single from the bat of Rob Dickey. Randy Tieman walked and scored on a double by Dave Parsons in the fifth inning. Five hits produced the eight Exeter runs in the last inning. Dwight Noels socked a double and Rick Regier, Randy Tieman, Dave Parsons and Perry Stover each singled. Paul McKnight was the star- ting pitcher for Exeter and struck out four in the first three innings. Dwight Noels took over in the fourth and finished up. Exeter loses in midget The Exeter midgets dropped a 1-0 decision to Hanover Sunday in a game which was limited to four and a half innings because of rain. Hanover scored the only run of the game in the bottom of the second frame. Exeter came close to the scoreboard in the third inning when they came up with three hits but were unable to push a run across the plate. Noel Skinner, John Gould and John Vriese cracked out singles in the third inning rally. The other Exeter hits were singles from the bat of pitcher Kevin Nixon in the second inning and Noel Skinner and John Gould in the fifth. Minor soccer clubs in action The regularly scheduled Ausable league soccer game between the Exeter Centennials slated for the SHDHS field in Exeter Sunday was postponed because of rain.
