T-A photo Blank Wingham Clubs The McGillivray fastball final series is all tied up at two games apiece as the Lucan Irish Nine and Lieury continue their intense rival), with extremely close games, Lieury scored an extra inning 2-1 win Tuesday night to knot the series after the Irish Nine won 6-3 Sunday to move one game up, The first two games of the series ended with identical scores of 3-2 with each team winning one. The fifth game will be played at Lucan tonight, Thursday at 9 p.m, with the sixth contest at Lieury Sunday night at the same time. In Tuesday's game each team scored a run in the seventh inning to force overtime, Glenn Thompson homered to account for the first Lieury run. The eighth inning game winner came as Paul Hodgins doubled, was able to move to third and scored on Stan Dixon's bunt, In the first two games of the series, the winning team scored all of their runs in one inning to gain a 3-2 decision. In the opening contest of the series all runs came in the last two innings. Lucan scored single markers in the sixth and seventh frames while Lieury scored three times in the seventh to become victorious. In the Lucan sixth, Gerry Fink- beiner singled and scored on a similar hit from the bat of Dennis Carty. The Smith brothers combined to produce the second and final Lucan score in the seventh.

The five Lieury hits were gained by Stan Dixon, Glenn Thompson, Bob Robinson, Bill Woodburn and Les Dury. Gridders continue winning The two football teams from South Huron District High School continued their winning ways in Huron-Perth Conference play Thursday as they scored a decisive double win over the Wingham Mustangs. Both games were played in Wingham. The South Huron juniors racked up a 39-0 score while their senior counterparts also won the shut-out route by a score of 19-0. Both Panther teams are at home today at the South Huron athletic field. St. Marys supplies the opposition. 10, Walks were costly Wildness proved to be the downfall of Lieury hurler Bob Robinson in Friday's 3-2 loss to Lucan. He walked Kevin Lightfoot, Karl Neil and Brian Ankers in succession in the fifth and all came racing home as Dennis Carty delivered a single. The first Lieury run of the night came in the third inning as Paul Hodgins delivered a bases empty home run. In the Lieury sixth, Glenn Thompson opened with a single and was able to complete the base cycle on similar hits from Bob Robinson and Paul Hodgins. The only other hits of the night, were singles by Jack Tweddle of Lieury and Doug Johnston for the Irish Nine. Doug Johnston went the distance on the mound for Lucan and fanned four batters to gain the win. Losing pitcher Bob Robinson picked up an even dozen strikeouts in a losing cause. Three run rallies again Runs in bunches of threes Huron touchdown. Steve Jen- nison was successful with the convert attempt. Late in the first period, Kevin Baker ran a sweep around the end good for 20 yards and another major score. Early in the second quarter Scott Flear caught a 30 yard pass in the Wingham end zone but the play was called back on a penalty, On the next series of plays for Wingham,John Gould intercepted a pass and brought the ball back to the Wingham seven yard line. From this point John Van Gerwen tossed a screen pass to Doug Mclsaac who ran the seven yards to pay dirt, Van Gerwen gained a two point convert by running around the end. The next time the Panthers got the ball they needed only four plays to score again. Ken Pinder threw a pass off a halfback sweep to Steve Knight for a 25 yard gain. Kevin Baker went six yards on a dive play up the middle for another six points and the half ended with South Huron in front 27-0. Coach Doug Ellison threw his second string offence into the' game in the third quarter and although they failed to score they came up with some good efforts. Late in the fourth quarter, Larry Ryan recovered a Wingham fumble to give the regular offensive team another chance to score, Two good runs by Doug Mclsaac and a 20 yard pass to Knight from Van Gerwen put the ball into scoring position. Another pass and run play in- volving Van Gerwen and Knight produced the final touchdown. Paul Brooks booted the ball through the uprights for the extra point. Ken Pinder was named the best South Huron offensive player of the game and John Gould with a key tackle and an interception was selected the top defensive performer. While the weatherman is giving us some excellent weather, sports officials have completed plans for most events to take place over the winter• season, Schedules have been released for the leagues in which the Exeter junior Hawks and all local minor hockey teams will be taking part in and ice is expected at the Exeter arena by the end of this week. Registrations have been held for minor hockey players and young girls participating in ballet classes. Debi Wooden is again in charge of the ballet program with sessions set for South Huron District High School each Saturday morning. Youngsters wishing to enroll in classes for gymnastics are reminded of registration to be held at the local high school on Saturday, October 27. The instructors will be Lin- da Ritchie and Laura Johns. An up and coming official It was welcome news to learn Friday night that a former minor hockey star in town has signed as an official in the World Hockey Association. Graham Bern who has been working in the OHA junior ranks for about two years made his debut in the WHA Sun- day night as he appeared as one of the linesmen working with referee Brent Casselman at Quebec City. Graham has always been a good skater and this along with his age of 23 are probably the main reasons he was selected by referee-in-chief Vern Buffey to work in professional ranks. He has been a student for the last two years at Buffey's refereeing school at Haliburton's Hockey Haven and was chosen to attend a WHA tryout camp at Bramalea. If any WHA hockey games are telecast this year look for No, 26 on the sweater of an official, That's Graham Hem, Graham was a member of the Exeter pee wees when they won the Goderich Lions International tournament in 1963. In one particular game he teamed with line-mates Frank DeVries and Rick Weber to account for four goals in only 42 seconds. Hockey broadcasts again For the 44th consecutive year, sport fans in this great country of ours will be able to hear the familiar sound, "It's Hockey Night in Canada". It is well known that Hockey Night in Canada ratings dipped during the regular 1972-73 season, but a well kept secret that they bounced back during the playoffs, According to CBC research statistics an average of 8,- 490,000 Canadians over the age of 12 watched each Stanley Cup game with the figure coming close to 10 million for the Montreal and Chicago series. There were three main reasons why fewer hockey fans watched at the beginning of last season. There was a natural letdown after the exciting Russia-Canada series. Next there was the disappointing performance of the Toronto Maple Leafs who probably rank as the most popular team with the country's TV fans. In addition, last year saw the start of the World Hockey Association and the defection of several top stars. The NHL began its 57th season last night, For the first time since 1925, there are no games scheduled on Christmas Eve or Christmas night. This will allow players to be at home for at least part of the festive season. The first Saturday night brings the Los Angeles Kings to Toronto to meet the Maple Leafs. Designated hitter helps Statistics released from the just concluded major league baseball seasons show the advantages of the designated hitter rule in the American league. The league showed sharp increases in batting, runs and home runs over 1972 and these are attributed to the designated hitter. The free swinging designated hitters belted,227 homers, which is nearly five times the number hit by Al pitchers and pinch hitters in the previous season. The designated hitters finished with an average of .257 which is a sharp contrast to the lowly .169 average by the previous year pitchers. The increase in hitting enabled the American league batters to top their National league counterparts for the first time in 10 years. They also led in runs scored per game. The American league averaged 8,6 runs - up from 7.7 a year ago while the National had an 8.3 runs per game average. The American total of 1,552 home runs, two more than the National was an increase of 377 from 1972 and the third highest in league history. Despite the adoption of the designated hitter, the American league was still able to have an even dozen pitchers win 20 games or more. That's the highest number in one league in modern records. The most successful designated hitters were Tommy Davis of Baltimore and Orlando Cepeda of Boston. Davis batted .306 and was a key figure in the Orioles pennant drive. REGISTRATION EXETER FIGURE SKATING CLUB Tremendous performance The senior Panthers turned in what was probably their best performance of the season as they blanked Wingham 19-0. As coach Ron Bogart said after the game, "We put it all together, The defence displayed good pursuit to hold Wingham to 30 yards in 20 carries, The running of Wayne Regier and Paul Truemner was terrific." Regier gained 125 yards in 24 carries and Truemner picked up a total of 102 yards in 14 tries at the line. The overall Panther gain on the ground was 240 yards while quarterback Perry Stover ac- counted for 132 yards on seven successful passes in an even dozen attempts. The Panther defensive line led by burly Stephan Orenchuk held the total Wingham offensive to 91 yards. In this total were penalties of 42 yards. Orenchuk came up with seven key tackles while Al Knight was in on five crucial plays. Making three big tackles each were Gary MacLean, Brad Oke and Wayne Oke. Brian Taylor, Brian Tuckey and Tim Ross each picked off two Stover passes and the other completion was made by Pius Dietrich. The total yardage gained through the air was 132. Ball control also paid off for the Panthers as they ran 62 plays from scrimmage as compared to 38 plays by Wingham. There was no scoring in the first quarter despite five suc- cessive South Huron first downs. Early in the second period, the Panthers gained possession deep in Wingham territory as the result of a short kick by the home team. Perry Stover found flanker Brian Taylor with a 26 yard pass and the Panthers were on the scoreboard and in front 6-0. Paul Robinson's convert attempt was blocked. With three minutes left in the half, the Panthers took over on their own 35 and they were able to take the ball over on the last play remaining in the half. The big play to set up the touch- down was a Stover to Brian Tuckey forward pass which covered 28 yards to the Wingham three yard line. Wayne Regier gained one yard and Paul Truemner lugged the ball over on the next play as the flag went down to end the half. Robinson converted and the score was 13.0, One long South Huron march in the third quarter ended un- successfully on the Wingham one yard line. The fourth and final period proved to be much better for South Huron. It took 13 plays to move the ball a total of 109 yards and the final major score of the afternoon. Regier and Treumner led the running attack and Stover was good on two passes. The first was to Taylor on a roll-out for 34 yards and the second was good to Brian Tuckey and it sent him into the end zone. During the downfield march, the ball was fumbled once but Steve Pfaff was quick to recover for the locals. Score early and often In the junior game, the Pan- thers wasted little time reaching the scoreboard as they led 13-0 at the end of the first quarter and were never threatened. On the second play from the opening kickoff, quarterback John Van Gerwen threw a pass to Steve Knight. The play covered 55 yards and the first South Sat.
