District High School wrestling team to win their fifth straight Huron-Perth Conference championship fell short in St. Marys, Friday. The margin of victory of Stratford Central over the Panthers was a slim half point 1311/2 to 131. The cause of crippled children will be a big winner again this weekend at the Pineridge Chalet near Hensel. Don and Shirley Mousseau and George, and Lucille Beer and all of their many Workers at the Chalet have lined up an excellent three day menu of sporting activity and fun, The recent successful Sportsmen's Dinner sponsored by the Exeter Lions club raised more than $3,000 for crippled children and if the Chalet weekend is as successful as last year a similar amount will be raised. The 1973 weekend Produced $3,006 in profits. The Pineridge schedule seems to be a combination of most of the popular events held over from the first four years and some new features. Highlighting the Saturday and Sunday afternoon programs will be the appearance of a race team of husky dogs from the north country. George Beer tells us he expects ten dogs to be part of the team demonstrating their racing abilities, Making their first trip to the Pineridge will be the On- tario Provincial Police safety van and the hosts of CFPL TV's talent show Pirie Mitchell and his friend Peaches.

The popular musical group Joe' Overholt and the Stand- bys will be playing for dancing enjoyment Friday and Satur- day evenings. Complementing the Sunday afternoon program will be several bands and a floor show in the Chalet clubhouse. Crippled children will ,be officially represented by Malcolm McDonald, London's Timmy.

Local Hawks finished ousted by Mitchell 107 Main St, Lucan 227-4851 Winning makes money An old, old baseball slogan goes something like this "as Babe Ruth goes so go the Yankees." This old adage could be changed a bit to reflect the financial, situation at the Exeter arena and could read, "as the Hawks go so the arena prospers." The Exeter junior hockey club with one of its poorest seasons in many years has been eliminated in the first round of the group playdowns. The arena's financial share of all junior games this year will be about $700. This means the revenue for RAP will be down about $3,000. ' Over thei pastew,years when tne,,Hawks have been very uccessful the afeV,41as.`benefitted. East year when the 4uryors were eliriiiuitittztin the group final by Mitchell the arena share of the season gates was $3,750 and in 1971-72 when they won the Ontario championship we're sure the receipts were even higher. The only saving this year could be the fact ice at the' arena could be taken out a lot earlier unless any of the other minor clubs go a lot further than anticipated. Two close tilts in Rec hockey Thursday's regular doubleheader in the Exeter and district Rec hockey league provided two closely contested games. Newby Tire edged the senior Hawks 4-3 and Les Pines decisioned Usborne township by a score of 8-6. The Newby goals were scored in single fashion by Ed Kerslake, Mike Higgins, Gary Parsons and Pete McFalls, The Hawks goals came from the sticks of Ron Lindenfield, Larry Haugh and Ron Broderick. Three goals in the third period by Al Rimmer, Ron Moore and Scott Burton provided enough momentum to give Les Pines the 8-6 win over Usborne. ' Other goals for the winners were produced by Bill Farquhar, George Bruneau, Don Campbell, Ray Funk and Paul Mason. Al Bern scored three times to pace the Usborne scoring attack. Chris Daniels contributed a pair of scores and Morley Obre added a single. Ayotte was tied for top honours with a Stratford Central. Also competing in WOSSA will be Murton Brock, Paul Ritchie, Paul Reaburn, Barry Miller, John Vandenburght, Gary Lavier and Marc Gelinas. South Huron coach Doug Ellison said Tuesday afternoon there was still a possibility that the team standings could be changed. He continued, "there was plenty of confusion during the tournament. Mixups in the scoring resulted from the lack of a rule book to classify the wrestlers for first, second, third and fourth. • "We are meeting Wednesday to go over the results. and check every placing. Don • Ayotte was tied for first with a member of the Stratford Central team. This tie will likely be broken by going back to the scoring of points each wrestler had compiled in his match before the pins were made," added-Ellison. The 1973-74 season for the Exeter Hawks in the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" western division was much shorter, than usual. The Hawks dropped three straight games to the Mitchell Hawks in a best-of-five semi-final series and have been eliminated, The score of the first game in Mitchell Tuesday night was 3-2, in Exeter Wednesday night, the Mitchell club won 4-1 and they wrapped things up with a 9-2 victory in Mitchell Friday night. In the other series in the same league, the Lucan Irish and Clinton Mustangs are tied at one game apiece and 'the pennant winning Belmont Sunsets lead the Strathroy Falcons 'by one game as the result of a resounding 13-1 win Sunday night. - • 4; Sec‘nd period margin Three goals in the second , period by the' Mitchell club proved to be the difference in the second game of the series. Mitchell with one goal in the opening session and the trio of scores in the second took the commanding lead before the Exeter club reached the scoreboard late in the second session. Brian Lane scored for Mitchell in the first period and Rick O'Donnell took care of all of the second period marksmanship. The lone Exeter marker came Playoffs for ladies at 17.25 of the middle stanza from the stick of John Beer on a pass from Gerald Weido. Mitchell took 10 of the 18 penalties called by referees Gerry Overholt and Don Clarke. Each team scored once while enjoying a manpower situation. In Friday's contest in Mitchell the outcome was decided rather early with the hometown Hawks scoring a goal in the first 40 seconds of play and adding four more before the first rest period was reached. The Mitchell club scored four more times in the second period. to run up a 9-0 lead before the Exeter boys untracked for two goals in the last period. Ken Ehgoetz was the top Mitchell marksman with three goals. Scoring two goals was Steve Southgate While BarrY1- Lane, Dwayne Cornish, Brian Lane' and Larry Ilbrn added: singles. Rick Ingram scored the first Exeter counter, on a pass from Matt Muller and Noel Skinner registered with help from John Beer and Tom Richardson.

Pauline Simmons and her crew ,won the Tuesday section with rinks skipped by • Delores Shapton and Melva Ecker tied for the runner-up position.

Completing the top ten scorers were Kevin McKinnon, Zurich; Terry Reid, Huron Park; Rick Schilbe, Zurich; Larry Laye, Shipka and Ron Corriveau, Zurich. Tie for first Too many injuries While each year hockey injuries seem to be on the in- crease, this year seems to have produced more than ever and several in this area have been serious, The most tragic of all was the death about a month ago of a young Goderich man who was struck in the chest by a puck in a recreation game in Clinton. The Exeter arena has had its share of serious accidents this year. Two young men have suffered serious eye injuries and both were sustained while performing in a recreational league. Early in the year, Wayne Desjardine of the Shipka area lost an eye after being struck by a skate while playing in the Ausable recreational league. Only last Sunday night, John Bierling while playing goal for Brinsley in the same rec league was struck in the face by a slap shot and the mask he was wearing was forced back into his eye. During the inquest into the recent death of Philip Evans of Goderich, the jury recommended the slap shot be banned from all recreation hockey leagues. We certainly will go along with this idea. Despite the fact the slap shot has added a lot of excitement to the game of hockey it can be considered dangerous. In addition to banning the slap shot from recreational hockey this should be extended to include all minor hockey up to and including the midget divisions. Some will likely argue that a lot of youngsters seem to have Mastered the art of slap shooting and score a lot of goals. This may be true, but the accuracy of this type of shot by minors leaves plenty to be desired and most of the youngsters don't have the necessary reaction and co- ordination to cope with the shot defensively when it comes their way. Another argument comes along saying that a couple of injuries with the amount of people playing hockey isn't a high percentage, This may be true, but even one of any of the nature of the three suffered in Huron this year would be several too many. The provincial government and the Canadian Standards ASsociation is taking a longer and harder look at making hockey equipment safer, Maybe minor hockey officials could take a look at the value of winning, sometimes at all cost. Coaches and parents could be guilty of harbouring, this quality. The will to win is one fact which is important in any sport and necessary to produce a successful athlete. But is it important enough to risk the health and possibly the life of a youngster Vie know everybody loves to win and this goes especial- ly for young boys. But let's face facts. Of the hundreds of boys playing minor hockey in Exeter each year never more than one or two go on to much higher categories than Junior i D) This season is a little exceptional with three locals play- ing* junior ""B", They are Randy PreSzcatOr and Perry Stover with the St. Marys Lincolns and Randy Gilfillan with the Stratford Warriors, On this theme possibly playing down the importance Of winning a bit We contradict ourselves a little after saying earlier the proceeds front Hawk junior games this year will era the taxpayers about $3,000, Brinsley ahead In Ausable league • Brinsley and Parkhill played to a 4-4 tie in a Sunday night Ausable Rec league hockey semi- final playoff at the Exeter arena. Brinsley now leads the best-of- five semi-final two games to one along with Sunday's stalemate, Lieury eliminated Shipka in three straight games in the other semi-final series. Parkhill scored four times in the last nine minutes of Sunday's third period to gain the tie and stay alive in the semi-final. Howard Churchill was a double scorer for Brinsley with single goals being fired by Bob Hodgins and Phil Conlin. Scoring in single fashion for Parkhill were Jim- Wiseman, Willy Hempen, Dale Whitelaw and Dale Battram, In dart loop In this week's action of the Exeter Legion mixed dart league, the Dart Sharks edged the Dark Angels 3-2 and the two clubs are n,ow deadlocked for first place with 64 points apiece.
