Brian Tuckey caught a pass from Perry Stover for a two point conversion and the Panthers were only one point back at 9-8. An interception of a .South Huron pass on the Clinton side of centrefield set the stage for the final touchdown by the winners. The interception was returned to the Panther 22 yard line and they were able to score in three plays to end the scoring and the game. Wayne Regier was the busiest back for the Panthers with 77 yards in 16 tries at the line. Paul Truemner picked up 82 yards in nine carries. Stephen Orenchuk again led the defensive line with an even dozen tackles while Brad Oke and Gary MacLean were close behind with ten and nine tackles, respec- tively. charged with 65 yards and the Panthers went through the entire contest without having a single penalty called against them. A controversial play gave Clinton a touchdown in the dying minutes of the second quarter. With only seconds remaining in the first half, the Clinton team called a timeout and it was allowed by the officials. On the next play, a touchdown was scored from the four yard line. South Huron coach Ron Bogart claimed Huron-Perth Conference rules do not allow for such a timeout. Seniors lose first. the game by his team-mates Bogart added, "if there was no while the top linemen awards timeout, the period would have were shared by the front five„,otA ;Rnded and the touchdown would Baker, Mike Veal; Dartage been impossible," McIver, Jim Gregus and Pauly ,.Central Huron led 9-0 at the end f the first half as the result of .the controversial major and two single points. A third down gamble set the stage for the only South Huron touchdown of the afternoon. With the ball on the Clinton 32 yard line, quarterback Perry Stover gambled and on a fake punt formation ran nine yards for a first down. -17 We send our best wishes to the junior girls cross country team from. South Huron District High school who will be competing in Brantford Saturday. The seven members team headed by coaches Joe Fulop and Larry Powell will be participating in the all-Ontario championships. The girls with excellent performances plac- ed second in the Huron-Perth and Western Ontario meets. Locals continue to star Four former members of Exeter junior hockey teams continue to turn in impressive performances as they par- ticipate in higher competition. Perry Stover scored three goals Sunday night for the St. Marys Lincolns and his linemate Randy Preszcator assisted on each score. Friday at the London Gardens, Steve Murley picked up a hat trick as the Fanshawe Falcons scored a decisive vic- tory over an Oshawa school. Larry Haugh, captain of the Hawks championship team of 1971-72 is on the same line as Murley along with Ed Lan- don, formerly with the Belmont Sunsets. In a recent exhibition game, the Fanshawe club defeated the London Kings of the OHA Senior Continental league 7-5. A terrific comeback The performance turned in over the weekend in Skate Canada by a young Ottawa girl proves that an athlete can come from behind and overcome a lot of diversities. Lynn Nightingale won the ladies skating championship after being seventh when the first round of competition was completed. Lynn is a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Payne of Grand Bend. Television extras Put the NHL's best shooters up against the best goalies - add nearly $80,000 in prize money and what do you have? Hockey Night in Canada's newest intermission feature, a sixteen-part series of dramatic hockey action, a man-on- man confrontation of super stars that is certain to be one of the highlights of the 1973/74 telecast season. Picture the Esposito brothers, Phil and Tony, fifty goal shooters Rick MacLeish and Mickey Redmond, Dennis Hull, Yvan Cournoyer and Jean Ratelle vying for a pot of hockey gold that can put as much as $25,000 into the pocket of the top shooter and an equal amount (or more) into the bank ac- count of the best goaltender. That's "Showdown in the NHL" and it gets underway on Saturday November 3 with the first of eight 1st-round knockout matchups. Two shooters will face the same goaltender in a "three shots each" match; the winning shooter advances to round two, and loser drops out. The series was shot in Peterborough exclusively for prerelease on Hockey Night in Canada and subsequent show- ing on NBC's Game of the Week. It was conceived and produced by Paul Palmer of Sixes in'cort- junction with NHL Services Inc. and the NHL Players' . • , Association. An elaborate security system was devised to cloak the identity of the series winners. Even the competing players were unable to determine who won the matchups. In fact, they won't know until their matchup is seen on Hockey Night in Canada. The pairings were drawn by lot in secrecy and witness- ed by a representative of Price Waterhouse so that no player at any time throughout the competition knew the identity of his opponent, had no idea whether he'd won or lost, and no inkling as to which of his shots actually counted for the com- petition. Sound involved? Well from a security point of view it is, but on the telecasts it will be clear-cut, exciting entertain- ment, two shooters against each other and both against the goalie. As the competition advances through each round, the payoff per goal and save increases to the point where in the final "Showdown" the goals and saves are worth $4,000 each! Players for the competition were selected on the basis of official NHL statistics for the 1972/73 season. These in- clude the top twelve goal scorers, the top four offensive defencemen (based on total points) and the top four goaltenders. The production of "Showdown" was directed by Ed Mercel of Glen-Warren Productions, under the on-site supervision of Hockey Night in Canada's Ralph Mellanby and Scotty Connal of NBC, executive producers of their respective hockey telecasts. Four players originally selected were unable to com- pete due to injury, club policy or previous personal com- mitments. They were replaced by the first 4 alternates, again based on 1972-73 official league statistics. The forwards are Phil Esposito, Mickey Redmond, Rick MacLeish, Jacques Lemaire, Bill Flett, Jim Pappin, Jean Ratelle, Gary Unger, Yvonne Cournoyer, Marcel Dionne, Dennis Hull and Ken Hodge. The defencemen selected were Guy Lapointe, Brad Park, Jim McKenny and Bill White while the goal tenders are Gilles Villemure, Tony Esposito, Roy Edwards and Doug Favell. The South Huron District High School junior football team rack- ed up its fifth straight win of the Huron-Perth Conference season in Clinton Thursday „afternoon. The win over the previously un- defeated Central Huron team gave the local Panthers un- disputed possession of first place, They can clinch the con- ference championship with another win this afternoon, Thursday when they travel to Goderich to meet the Vikings. The South Huron seniors were not quite so fortunate as they lost their first game of the season to Central Huron in Clinton, also Thursday a score of 16-8. The Panthers are now tied with Central Huron for second place. Eacla'club has lost one game. The Goderich Vikings hold down the league's top spot with an un- defeated record. A win by the Panthers this afternoon over Goderich would put the three teams in a deadlock for the senior conference cham- pionship. Spread scoring The South Huron junior win was accomplished with a well balanced scoring attack which was able to score 14 points in each half. Doug Mclsaac was the scoring star for the Panthers with a three touchdown performance for his afternoon's work. Mclsaac in leading the scorers ran for a total of 198 yards in 23 carries for an average of near nine yards per try. Coach Doug Ellison kept his club pretty well on the ground with the offensive. They picked up a total of 319 yards on the ground while the defensive line led by the key tackling of Steve Jennison and John Gould restricted the Clinton attack to only 88 yards through the line and 15 yards through the air. Mclsaac scored touchdowns in the first and second quarters. The second period score came as the result of an interception by Terry McDonald of a Clinton pass. The convert was good for two points as Kevin Baker was able to cross the Clinton goal line on a pitch out from quarterback John Van Gerwen. A Clinton field goal late in the period completed the first half scoring and allowed the Panthers to take a 14-3 lead. A South Huron fumble midway through the third quarter allowed the Clinton club to score their only touchdown of the afternoon. It was unconverted. Late in the quarter Van Gerwen hit Randy Funston with his only successful pass of three tried during the game. The play covered 31 yardsAndjtookIthe ball to the Clinton five yard marker. John Van Gerwen was able to go the rest of the way on an off tackle slant and he also gained two points on the convert as he ran off a fake pass. The fourth and final SH major score came early in the last quarter and was accomplished by Mclsaac. He was named the best back of Brooks. Penalties were held to a minimum with only 35 yards be- ing assessed during the entire contest with the Panthers taking 20 on two calls. Statistics even In `the senior game won by Clinton, very little difference showed in the statistical department as the Panthers gained a total of 204 yards in combined rushing and passing as compared to 182 by Central Huron. The amount of penalties was significant with Clinton being Skating workshops planned for H-P Teachers from all. Huron-Perth Separate board schools will be attending skating workshops in the next couple of weeks. The workshop for the south end of Huron will be held at the Zurich arena in late November. Teachers will be attending from Mount Carmel, Zurich, St. Joseph and Precious Blood in Exeter. Instructing at the Zurich workshop will be Bruce Brady of Bayfield with the assistance of Mary Sills of Seaforth. The workshops organized by H- P physical education consultant John McCarroll are aimed at finding effective and sequential ways to instruct children from kindergarten to grade four in the correct skills of skating be it balance, movement, stroking, stopping, skating backwards and cornering. The Exeter Hawks open their home season in Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" play at the Exeter arena Friday night. The Strathroy Falcons will supply the opposition. In an unusual schedule arrangement the Hawks were in action on the road four times before performing before their home fans. Basketball season ends By TERESA ONDREJICKA The South - Huron girls basketball teams travelled to Stratford Northwestern for a double header. Both teams lost even though they put forth a good effort. The junior's got off to a bad start and just couldn't seem to catch the fast moving Stratford team. They lost 51-25. Scorers were Gayle Ecker chalking up eight points, Gail Fuller basketing five, Heather Wein came up with six points and Cathy Wooden, Janet Pryde and Tammy Baker were the trio with two points each. The seniors also fell to defeat losing 54-33 in a hard fought battle of passing and shooting. The scorers were Deb Wooden dumping 16 points, Sue Luther tossing in 10, Lori Ayotte with four, and Valerie Sweet was close behind with three. Thursday, October 25 marked the second last game in the normal basketball season. This time South Huron travelled to Clinton where they split a double header game with the juniors winning and the seniors losing. The juniors played a tough, good game that was packed with action from beginning to end. They won 29-22. Scoring went to Heather Wein who hooped 14 points, Gail Fuller tossed up 11, and Gayle Ecker checked in with four points. The seniors lost 50-31 against a strong Clinton team. The scoring for South Huron was done by Sue Luther with 16, Val Sweet throwing in six and Deb Wooden dumping in four. The season ended Tuesday with South Huron playing Goderich. The semi-finals start today but their location is still un- determined. Whatever the case congratulate the players on a season which maybe didn't come up with many wins, but for the team spirit displayed by all.

Friday night in Tavistock, the Exeter club scored the only two goals of the first period and were never headed as they downed the Tavistock Braves 5-3. The same situation existed in Clinton Sunday night for the Hawks but with a different en- ding. The Exeter youngsters notched four goals in the first period but then their scoring ac- complishments ceased and the Clinton Mustangs went on to double the score for a 8-4 decision. Coach Bob White was able to get two goal efforts from three of his charges in the two games this week. Zurich area youngster John Mommersteeg scored the first two goals for the Hawks in Clinton Sunday night, They came in the first eight minutes of play and put the Hawks in front 2-0. Scoring goals in pairs in Tavistock Friday night were defenceman Randy Tieman and centre Harry Smits. Both of Tieman's goals were of the unassisted variety, the second one coming with less than a minute to play into an empty net as Tavistock tried to get the equalizing goal. The first score by Smits was also on a solo effort and the second was the result of a three- way effort with Steve Schroeder and Gerald Weida. The only other Exeter marker in the win over Tavistock was fired by Murray Parsons on a pass from John Momrnersteeg, Referees Larry Appel and Murray Butcher called a total of 18 penalties with the Hawks being called on 10 occasions. All were of the two minute variety except five minute fighting sentences late in the game to Wayne Regier of the Hawks and Terry Roi of Tavistock. Bill Inch was in goal for the Hawks and held the Braves scoreless for the first two periods. In Clinton Sunday night, Brian Taylor and Murray Parsons provided the assists on the two successful shots by Harry Smits, The other two Exeter goals came on a triple passing com- bination. Pete Gill pulled the trigger on a successful shot on a play set up by Harry Smith and Randy Tiernan. Brian Taylor and John Mommersteeg were responsible for organizing the play on which Murray Parsons was able to score. The Mustangs were assessed 16 of the 24 penalties called by referees Jim Shurrie and Ken Hislop. Play Goderich today Girls to finals
