T-A photo Face busy week Expos win over Mets Fear This week we would like to get back to a favorite subject of ours — the must win attitude held by some of our minor coaches and certainly parents. We have said many times that youngsters should be par- ticipating in sports for the fun and exercise and not to win at all costs. If this attitude continues, what does it do to a young athlete both physically and psychologically? The greatest problem which could beset a young boy with lots of pressure to win could be the fear of failure. This fear could take many ways. Fear that the game will be lost, that the young athlete will not perform well personally, that mistakes will be made which result in criticism from the coach, team members, families and friends. In many cases, without actually realizing it parents con- tribute greatly to the problem. After all, it's easy to show disappointment when your younster fails to do well. Probably it isn't so much the fear of failure that causes the anxiety but the fear of what will happen afterward. Young athletes are the same as any other human in that they need approval and a sense of security. This security feeling means not only approval when one does well but knowledge that failure will not mean a replace- ment of approval with criticism and anger. Playing at an early age in highly organized sport creates pressures which most young athletes are unable to cope with. At this point they have not developed the maturi- ty to take criticism which so often is unfair, the frustration of bad breaks or defeat itself. When these instances occur, they usually react accor- ding to how they see others react, especially other members of the family and parents in particular. This is a difficult situation to deal with. To get the idea across, every opportunity should be taken to praise others for demonstrating coolness, patience and good sportsmanship in reacting to defeat or disappointment with a chin up. When athletic children hear praise for these attitudes it is hoped they will tend to develop a desire to do the same. There is no point in telling children it doesn't matter whether they win or lose, because it does to them. What must be done is sell them on the idea that taking the bad with the good shows a winner's attitude that will enable them to perform better and stand out as a superior person. Showing this kind of attitude to all problems which oc- cur around a home will help set a good environment for the development by a young athlete of a good attitude toward the spots they will run into in their sports adventures. To fear failure is a natural emotion, but to let this fear create excessive anxiety will interfere with one's efficien- cy. In getting ready for a game thinking about what they are going to do instead of how they are going to do it will help. Being a success:hi ,,sportg demands talent and skill in ' handling one's emotions and 'mental attitnaeA in a positive way just as much as hving an exceptionally„high level of talent. More on Chipper The July issue of Hockey News gives the final statistics of most professional and top amateur leagues in the United States and Canada. One of the leagues was the Southern and we were in- terested in seeing Jack Chipchase listed as a member of the champion Roanoke Valley Rebels. In 70 games, Chipchase scored six goals and 25 assists for a point total of 31 and was assessed 115 minutes in penalties. Jack continues to be an iron man with the Rebels as he took part in 70 games during the season. The most games played by any member of his team was 71. Ways of speeding up Directors of the National hockey league are finally taking some definite steps in speeding up the game of hockey. At the recent annual meeting in Montreal a rule was adopted to provide a bench minor penalty for any penalized player who does not proceed directly and immediately to the penalty box. The old rule called for a 10 minute misconduct penalty for any player in delaying his trip to the penalty box. The misconduct call didn't help the situation very much. In fact, it probably slowed things a little more as a player could argue the additional sentence. If the new rule is enforced closely, a scene of five players on a team trying to push a penalized team-mate to the sin bin could be a common occurrence, Goaltenders will also find their movements restricted somewhat this year. In the past, they were allowed to go to the players bench for repairs to equipment. With the new ruling, goalies with equipment problems will go directly to the bench and be replaced by his backup man. Furthermore, the substitute will not be allowed any warmups as he was before, This same rule also applies if a goaltender is injured. Linesmen will also be instructed to do their part towards speeding up the game. They will now drop the puck on faceoffs, even if one centre after prior warning fails to get into proper position. Great performances During the past week, two major league baseball pitchers have come up with excellent performances. Gaylord Perry of the Cleveland Indians posted his 15th consecutive victory and Mike Marshall of the Los Angeles Dodgers appeared in 13 straight games as a relief pitcher. Watch the ringers Area sports fans should take the opportunity Saturday and Sunday of watching top notch horse shoe pitchers in operation at the Lucan arena, Ontario champ Dean McLaughlin of Ottawa and the world's best Elmer Hohl of Wellesley will be tossing for the Ontario team against Michigan in a tournament sponsored by the London horgeshoe pitching club. The final matches will be held Sunday afternoon. We watched Rohl and McLaughlin a year ago in the Ontario championships at Lucan and were thrilled with their almost uncanny accuracy. The Exeter Expos were in action on two occasions this week and came away with an even break. Wednesday in Clinton, the Expos were outscored 12-5 by the Clinton Colts, defending OBA champs and Sunday afternoon they squared things with a 12-10 win over the Zurich Mets. This week, the Expos are on the road for three of four games. Last night Wednesday, they were in Thorndale, Friday night they will be in Dashwood to meet the Tigers, Sunday they travel to Corunna for an exhibition game and Tuesday night will be at home at Exeter Community park to the Zurich Mets. Hang on to win In Zurich Sunday afterhoon, the Expos held off a ninth inning rally by the Mets to post the 12-10 decision. Zurich scored four runs in the ninth frame and had the tying runs on base when the game ended. In scoring an even dozen runs the Exeter club scored in six of the nine innings played. They fought back from an early 2-0 Zurich lead to move Art front 10-5 This week was a very suc- cessful one for Exeter soccer clubs with two victories and a tie. The draw by the Exeter •Cen- tennials was actually a moral victory as the team notched its first point of the season by holding the Ingersoll Flyers "B" club to a 3-3 score. In Huron minor soccer league play, the Exeter Atoms blanked the Seaforth Kickers 11-0 and the Exeter Squirts shut out the Seaforth Dukes by a 6-0 score. In the senior contest, the Centennials built up a well deserved 3-0 lead on successful shots by Tony Markus, John Muller and Paul Gerts in the first half. The Exeter team tired in the final half and the Ingersoll club came on to tie the score. The next game for the Centennials is Sunday at 6 p.m. in Clinton, Brad Kernick scored six goals to lead the Exeter atom scoring attack. Next in line with two 47 Investigate conditions BEFORE entering the water, and always swim with a buddy. at one time. Aub Bedard and Rick Schilbe counted for Zurich in the first inning without the aid of a hit. In the top of the second the Expos got two runs back as Randy Tieman doubled and Terry Bourne and Randy Decker each cracked singles. Paul Morrison walked, Rick Schilbe singled and both scored as Glen Overholt doubled to put the Mets again ahead by two runs in the bottom of the second. In the third the Expos fought back again with the tying runs. Dave Parsons and Bill Farquhar led off with doubles and Bill Bourne followed with a single. Neither team was able to score in the fourth but the Expos jumped into a 6-4 lead in the fifth as Larry Haugh reached first on a fielder's choice and raced home on Randy Tieman's home run. Five base hits produced four Exeter runs in the sixth ex- tending the lead to 10-4. Doubles by Randy Tieman and Dave Parsons combined with singles from the bats of Bill Farquhar, Don Campbell and Dave Revington sent the four runs across the plate. ,Singles by Ron Corriveau, John goals apiece came John Osgood and Jonathan Melhuish while Ted Oke fired a single marker. The best goal of the game came on a brilliant four man move with precision passing from Osgood, Melhuish and Chris Van Gerwen to Kernick who scored. Exeter's two inside forwards Van Gerwen and Melhuish were tireless and unselfish workers who participated in most of the scoring opportunities. The atoms record now stands at three wins, a tie and a loss of seven points. In the squirt contest, Andrew Winters was the top goal getter with three. Jerry Martens kicked two good shots and Julian Ball added the sixth goal. The Exeter team played a strong game with the ball being in their end of the field on only two occasions giving goalieJohn Wooden an easy time. He did not touch the ball. Mommersteeg and Jim Bedard upped the Zurich run total to five. in the bottom of the sixth. Kevin McKinnon walked and scored for Zurich in the seventh on an Exeter fielding miscue., Larry Haugh reached first on an error in the Exeter eighth and romped home on Brian Haskett's triple. Dave Parsons singled and scored the final Expo marker in the ninth. Base hits by Rick Schilbe, Glen Overholt, Ron Corriveau and John Mommersteeg produced the final four Zurich runs in the ninth. Exeter relief hurler Randy Decker actually struck out the side in the ninth getting the final batter with two runners on base. Decker came on in the third to replace starting pitcher Dave Revington. Veteran Dick Bedard started for Zurich and was replaced by John Mommersteeg in the sixth. Only single runs The Expos were never able to get more than one run in any inning as they lost 12-5 to the Clinton Colts, Wednesday. The Exeter club actually outhit their Clinton opposition by nine to eight but bases on balls hurt the Exeter cause. . Perry Stover up from the Exeter juveniles went the full distance for the Expos. Stover struck out eight Colts but issued 12 bases on balls. The Exeter batting attack was led by Dave, Revington, Jim • Lewyckyj and Terry Bourne with two hits apiece. Single hits were picked up by Larry Haugh, Randy Deckeer and Perry Stover. Top throwers of ringers Two of the top horse shoe pitchers in the world will be in action this weekend at the Lucan arena. World champ Elmer Hohl of Wellesley and Ottawa's Dean McLaughlin who holds the Canadian crown will be an- choring the Ontario team in a Friendship tournament against pitchers from Michigan. Also on the agenda for Saturday and Sunday is an open doubles tournament. A total of 60 horse shoe en- thusiasts from both sides of the border are expected to par- ticipate. For the third successive weekend, the Exeter pee wee baseball team participated in a Legion sponsored tournament. Both games in which the Exeter team took part in Hespeler were high scoring of-' fairs, In the opener the Exeter club rallied with a four run outburst in the last inning to gain a 15-14 decision.

This week, the Tigers are at home Friday night for an eight o'clock contest with the ,Exeter Expos and Sunday afternoon they travel to Zurich to meet the Mets. kour runs by Arva in the first inning and two more in the second sunk the Dashwood cause Friday night. The Tigers also struck early with a pair of runs in each of the first two innings. Gary Hartman singled and Jim Guenther slapped a long home run over the left field fence in the first inning to put the Tigers on the score sheet for the first time. In the Dashwood second, Joe O'Rourke led off with a double and Whitey Denomme drew a free ticket to first base. They both moved up a notch as Bill Schade was hit by a pitch and both crossed the plate on a single from the bat of Gary Hartman. Hartman was the leading Tiger at the plate with four consecutive singles. The only other safe blow for the losers was a single by Joe O'Rourke. Lefty Jim Guenther took care of the Dashwood pitching chores giving up a total of seven. hits while fanning eight Arva batters. by a score of 15-6. In regular WOAA league play Monday, the Exeter youngsters bounced back to trounce Dash- wood 21-9. Against Port Elgin Exeter waited until the sixth inning before hitting the scoreboard. They scored two runs in the sixth and added four more in the seventh but by this time it was too late as Port Elgin had built up a 9- 0 lead. Dave Bogart's single was the only hit in the Exeter sixth and Bogart, Brian Mercer and Hoff- man singled to produce the final runs. In the first game against Hespeler, the Exeter club was trailing 14-11 going into the final turn at bat. The first two batters were retired and it looked as if the game was over. This wasn't the case. Daye Robinson and Tyler BishoP singled and Steve Skinner walked to load the bases, Dave Bogart stepped to the plate and cracked out a double to clear the bases and tie the score. Brian Mercer followed with a double and the game was over. Against Dashwood Monday a seven run rally in the fourth inning followed by six more runs in the fifth broke the game wide open. The Exeter club will be at home on two occasions this week. They will be playing host to Goderich Monday night and Crediton will supply the Wednesday op- position.
