Need another victory
While doing a feature in last week's issue on the
McMurtry report on hockey violence we received several
interesting suggestions on the matter.
Elsewhere on these pages this week an article from Pat
O'Brien, referee-in-chief of the South asks for persons in-
terested in refereeing and tells of some of the problems of-
ficials encounter.
As far as we are concerned the two best suggestions
received while researching the article on hockey violence
were curbing use of the highstick and educating parents.
Frank Funston's idea to have a clinic for parents is cer-
tainly not far fetched. It's probably just as important to
teach the parents as the boys on how to lose gracefully.
We are not trying to say one shouldn't care whether the
game is lost or not. An important ingredient in any sport is
the will to win, but not at all cost.
Frank's contention was especially in minor hockey that
if a player gave his best he need not be ashamed of his per-
formance and an admission that the other team played a lit-
tle better would be in order. The main thought was not to
blame the referee for everything that goes wrong.
Only this week, the OHA decided to eject players par-
ticipating in fights. Most of the persons we talked to were•
not so concerned about fighting but the things that lead up
to fisticuffs and this mostly entailed high sticking.
So steps should be taken to curb the high sticks which
lead not only to fights but injuries. As Ron Horn said, "Let's
take away the aggravations."
Get the blades out
While the weatherman still tells us it's summer, plans
are being made for the upcoming hockey season.
The Exeter junior Hawks will take to the ice for the
first time at the Huron Park arena on Sunday September 22
at 3:30 p.m.
To handle the managerial duties Fred Mommersteeg
will be back and most of the players will also return
because of the change in age rules for juniors allowing an
extra year.
The district Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D"
grouping has been extended to take in two new clubs. With
the addition of Seaforth and Port Stanley, the league now
encompasses nine towns.
The returnees are Exeter, Belmont,Tavistock, Lucan,
Lambeth and Strathroy.

final races
The highlight of the final race
meeting of the season pf the
Huron Trotting Pony club at the
club tragic west of Exeter was the
performance of a local driver,
Spectators were treated to
plenty of action as all races went
in two heats giving a total of 26
dashes.
Rick parsons of Exeter was
one of the top drivers piloting
winners home in both sections of
the sixth and tenth races.
Rick was in the sulky as Adios
Ginger Lee was home first on two
occasions in identical times of
1,56. In the tenth he was the
winning driver behind Pic's
Royal Image in times of 1,28 and
1.30.
In the eighth race, Harry
Beaver drove Fairview Adios
Danny to a win and a second
place finish.
The oldest driver participating
in the meet, Ernie Ross of
Lucan entered the winners circle
in the third race when he teamed
Ross's Lady Supreme across the
finish line first. In the second
heat he was third.
Another local driver Ivan
Webber was second with Little
Mille in the second event on the
program.
In the children's race Greg
Parsons was second with Pie's
Royal Image and Brenda Par-
sons was third in the powder puff
divisioc with Adios Ginger Lee.
Another local driver Ivan
Webber was second with Little
Greys take lead in ball final
up with three runs in the top of
the ninth. Joyce Hume was safe
on an error, Darlene Bourne
walked and they raced home on
Lia De Jong's home run.
The game was n pitcher's
battle from start to finish with
Lia De Jong on the Exeter mound
besting the Blanshard Hurler
Cheryl Zvonkin.
Score Early
In Monday's opening game of
the final series, the Greys scored
five times in the first inning and
were never headed as they
downed Blanshard 17-9.
The Greys were in front by a
comfortable 12-4 score before the
Blanshard team came to bat in
the seventh inning.
Triples by Lia DeJong and
Joyce Morgan coupled with four
bases on balls allowed the Greys
to go on their first inning scoring
spree.
Lynne Farquhar and Darlene
Bourne crossed the plate for the
Greys in the second frame. A
triple by Lynne Farquhar and
singles from the bats of Joyce
Time to
sign up
Morgan, Valerie Sweet and
Darlene Bourne sent another
Exeter run home in the third.
Linda Bowers scored for
Exeter in the fourth and a long
home run by Kathy Wells
produced two more runs in the
fifth.
The Exeter run total was in-
creased by four in the seventh on
Joyce Morgan's base clearing
home run. The locals final run
was tallied in the eighth by Lynne
Farquhar.
Leading the Blanshard scoring
attack with two runs apiece were
Judy Ulch, Fran Thomson, Deb
Newton and Mary Barr.
Lia DeJong went the distance
on the mound for the Greys to get
the victory while Jane Rolston
was the loser for Blanshard.
• Activities aplenty
Swimmers post
excellent record
All boys within a 15 mile radius
of Exeter wishing to participate
in Exeter's minor hockey
program this winter are asked to
register in one of two sessions
being held this week.
The first sign-up session will be
at the Exeter arena tonight,
Thursday between the hours of 7
and 8:30 p.m.
In order to pick up late
registrations, applications will be
accepted between the hours of
10:30 a.m. and 12:30 • p.m. on
Saturday September 14.
The registrations fee for all
boys is $10 for the season. Boys
making the all star teams will be
assessed an additional $10. It is
important that parents ac-
company the boys for
registration to sign release
forms.
At the same time as
registration, a hockey equipment
exchange will be held. at the
arena. Boys are ,encouraged to
bring hockey equipment that no
longer fits and exchange it for
more suitable equipment.
Skates are included.
Boys are asked to put a price on
the articles brought in and if it is
sold to another player the
proceeds may then be used to
purchase other equipment on
display.
Any local resident with hockey
equipment in the attic or
basement are welcome to bring it
along for sale or as a donation to
the Exeter Minor Hockey
Association.
Back in form
It's good to see Fergie Jenkins back in his usual good
form on the baseball diamond. The big hard throwing right
handed pitcher from Chatham, Ontario won his 21st game
of the season this week.
Fergie after a quick start with his new club the Texas
Rangers tailed off after the first two months of the season
but,behas come on strong and now has won seven of his last
rk eight starts and the, last two have been shut-outs.
This makes the seventh time in eight years that Jenkins
has won at least 20 games in a season. The first six were
with the Chicago Cubs, His only miss was in the 1973 season
when he won only 14 for Chicago.
Another outstanding performance is being turned in by
John Hiller of the Detroit Tigers. Hiller who suffered a
severe heart attack only a couple of years ago has won 16
games for the Tigers as a relief pitcher.
Hiller's record to date equals the American league
record held by Dick Radatz formerly of the Boston Red Sox.
John has been given plenty of work by manager Ralph
Houk and he continues to amaze with his pitching abilities.
On more and more occasions he has been called on as early
as the fifth or sixth game in an attempt to keep the Tigers in
the game,
Houk is certainly going to a youth program in the latter
parts of the schedule.
If someone was out of earshot of Tiger broadcasts for a
year and came back right now he would. wonder if he was
hearing about the same team,
Names now becoming familiar at Tiger Stadium are
Wockenfuss, Leflore, Lane, Oglivie and Nettles to name
only a few.

the bottom of the fifth as Mary
Barr and Deb Newton crossed the
plate.
The Greys didn't waste much
time in getting back on even
terms. Lynne Farquhar led off

as Darlene Bourne blasted a
long home run.

Golf dreams
come true
Exeter's swimmers recorded a
passing percentage of 63.7 during
the past season.
Twelve swimmers took the top
three tests of the Royal Life
Saving Society and each passed.
There were 10 passing the bronze,
and one each in leader patrol and
Int. Royal Life.
Rec director Jim McKinlay
noted this was beneficial as it is
from these groups that RAP can
expect future swim pool leaders
and guards.
In tests given by the Red Cross,
47 passed junior tests, 18 in-
termediates and 10 seniors. The
passing rate ranged from 39 to 71
percent in these three categories.
Chief Instructor Susan Tuckey
noted that the London PUC swim
classes "pat themselves on the
back" if they maintain a 33
percent passing mark.
A total of 751 took swim classes
this past season and 479 passed
tests. Of those, 369 were from
Exeter and 382 from the neigh-
boring communities.
There was an average of 172 at
public swimming sessions.

Effects of war
—lose coach
The war in Cyprus is creating a
problem in Exeter.
The Exeter Minor Hockey
Association learned this week
that Gil Williamson, signed to
coach the Junior Hawks this
season, won't be available for the
job as he is being posted to
Cyprus.
Williamson is a member of the
RCRs in London and will be in
Cyprus with Canada's peace
keeping contingent.
Minor hockey officials are
presently searching for a
replacement.
Persons interested in the job
should contact president Ron
Horn.
Three area golfers ac-
complished a dream of all golf
enthusiasts this week by coming
up with an elusive hole-in-one.
Firing their tee shot into the
cup were Jim Russell, Ernie
Chipchase and Matt Aikman.
Jim Russell accomplished his
hole-in-one at the Oakwood
course at Grand Bend on the 110
yard ninth hole. Russell used an
eight iron.
He completed the 18 hole round
with a 73, three over par.
Included in the golfing party
were Doug Parker and Don
Heywood.
The Grand Bend course was
also the setting for Ernie Chip-
chase's once in a lifetime shot on
the 17th hole. Accompanying •
Chipchase in a threesome were
Jim Bedard of Zurich and Jack
Jansen of Kitchener.
Also witnessing the shot were
former Zurich area sporting
enthusiast Bill O'Brien, now of
Niagara Falls and Sam Hendry of
Toronto.
Matt Aikman of 530 Market
Street, Exeter accomplished his
feat at the St. Marys golf course
and was accompanied by Red
and Joey Fairley of town.
Mr. Aikman is 69 years of age
and fired his hole-in-one at the 180
yard second hole at St. Marys.
A successful school
The recently concluded Huron Hockey School at the
Huron Park arena was a success according to one of the in-
structors Bill Mahoney, a hockey coach and teacher at
McMaster University in Hamilton.
For the second year in succession, the local school has
had young professional hockey players attending. The first
year, five boys who had just signed pro contracts took extra
instruction at Huron Park and this year the number was
doubled,
Among the first year pro rookies was Al Sims who went
on to turn in a tremendous first year with the Boston
Bruins.
Mahoney told us he expects about 20 young pros next
year. Major Junior "A" clubs are also sending some of
their midget draft choices.
While most of the midget drafts come on their own,
junior teams at Quebec, Sorel and Hull have been sending
some of their good prospects.
The school is being extended to seven weeks for the 1975
program and a similar school with the same instructors is
being planned for midgets in Montreal. It will probably be
held a week before the Huron Park school gets underway,
An innovation started this year, a basketball school for
girls from the ages of 16 to 20 years was also successful and
will be extended to two weeks in 1975. Sue Higgs is in
charge of the program,
During this year's school, a Hockey Night in Canada
crew was at the Huron Park arena filming some of the in-
structional action and the end result is expected to be shown
on a Saturday night broadcast sometime in October,
