T-A photo 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. Complete Line of /WI° A S Football Cleats Jerry MacLean & Son AUTOMOTIVE LTD.

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. at bowling green The Exeter lawn bowling green was a bee hive of activity Thursday night as the local club hosted the Mitchell club, A total of 55 bowlers competed in friendly action. In Saturday night's regular play, Edna Caldwell proved to be the best competitor with a record of two wins, a plus of 17 and aggregate of 28. Proving it was ladies night, Mabel Killough was runner-up on the strength of two wins, a plus of 12,,andahe,,same •28 aggregate. Bob Elgie finished in third spot with a 12 plus and 23 aggregate to go with a pair of victories. John Wilson was fourth followed by • Norma Chapman and Jim Orr. The winner Tuesday night was Wes Watson. He amassed a plus of 15 and 35 aggregate with double wins. Mabel McKnight was next in line with two vic- tories, a plus of 14 and aggregate of 27. Greenskeeper Wilf Shapton was the third place finisher coming in with a plus of 12 and 29 aggregate and two wins. The Exeter Greys have taken a firm two game lead in their quest of the South Perth ladies softball league championship. The Greys won the opening game in Exeter Monday night by a score of 17-9 over Blanshard and repeated with a 7-3 victory in Kirkton the following night. The third game of the best-of- five series will be played at Exeter Community Park, Tuesday night , September 17 at 8 p.m. First innings scoreless In Tuesday's contest neither team was able to score in the first four innings. Blanshard broke the scoring famine with two runs in 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 the fifth with a walk and scored as Darlene Bourne blasted a long home run. The Exeter club moved in front in the top of the seventh with two runs which proved to be the eventual margin of victory. Joyce Morgan tripled to start things off, Valerie Sweet walked and both scored as Joyce Hume and Lynne Farquhar singled. Blanshard cut the Exeter lead to a single run in the seventh. Mary Barr drew a base on balls and was able to complete the base cycle. The Greys wrapped the game 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. 11111111111111111111111111111111111:111111111111111111111111111111,1111111111111111111111111 i1 11111111111111111111 Calling All Boys Within 15 Mile Radius of Exeter EXETER MINOR HOCKEY REGISTRATION 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, 11 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Thurs., Sept. 12 - 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Sat., Sept: 14 - 10:30 to 12:30 EXETER ARENA — ALL AGES Registration Fee Is '10.00 (NOTE - Boys Playing On All-Star Teams Will Be Assessed A Further '10.00 When The Teams Are Selected) Juhlhhhhhhhilhuhlh ;; llll uhluthoulhonihihuhinihhothehoulhhoheuthiumulhinthhe IMPORTANT — A PARENT MUST ACCOMPANY BOYS TO REGISTRATION TO SIGN A RELEASE FORM lll hihihuhlh l ihi llllllll I lllllllllllll lllllll hhhohluithhihhihlhohhhhhhh lllllll ihnhihh, Equipment Exchange Will Be Held At Registration Boys are encOur'ciged to bring hockey equipment (including skates) that no longer fit them and exchange it for some that will in our "swap shop".
