SPORTS By •Ross Haugh Bantams two games up in provincial playoffs Vaft ade 7-4 ete4 To the carnival Saturday is one of the biggest and most important days of the year for members of the Exeter figure skating club. Two editions of the 21st annual carnival sponsored by the figure skating club will be shown Saturday. All members of the club will be seen in at least one number. The matinee show starts at 2 p.m. and starting time for the evening performance is 7:30 p.m. Club president Anne Prout and her very enthusiastic ex- ecutive have been working hard for many weeks with professional Brad Loosley in lining up an excellent show. The show should be very colorful with many characters familiar to children in particular, It will be called "The wonderful World of Disney" and will feature fellows like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy to name only a few. To add to the good local talent on display will be an appearance by Brenda Bridgman and Rick Pettit of the Preston Figure Skating Club. These two young people plac- ed second in the Canadian championships in 1974 in the novice pairs dicision. The club president tells us another good comedy number is being prepared by members of the executive. So all in all it looks like a good show providing entertainment for all ages and giving parents, relatives and friends a chance to see their favorite youngsters in action, Let's get out and support the figure skaters in their very worth while endeavour. It's the one chance in the year for the club to gain some revenue to help defray expenses in operating a large club. The monies received from registrations go only part way in providing the money necessary. More on Sportsmen's Dinner Back to the recent Exeter Lions Sportsmen's dinner, one of the youngest looking guests was Mike Jorgensen of the Montreal Expos. Jorgensen may appear to be very youthful but he could be the oldest player on the field, ex- cluding pitchers when the Expos open the 1975 National baseball league season in less than two months. Jorgensen at 26 years of age is expected to be a very im- portant cog in what could be called rebuilding plans by the Expos. Over the winter months, the Montreal club traded off some top notch and expensive talent namely Willie Davis, Mike Torrez and Ken Singleton. Jorgensen told us the Ex- pos will be depending on much better pitching and speed to offset the power hitting traded away. The acquisition of Dave McNally from Baltimore should help on the mound. Steve Rogers is expected to come back with a good season.Also added late in the 1974 season was Woody Fryman from the Detroit Tigers. Jorgensen hit .310 for the Expos last year despite the fact he didn't start a game until June 1. He is known as a great defensive player going 95 games in 1974 before com- mitting an error. Let's open it up Mike Widger who was one of two members of the Montreal Alouettes at the local dinner suggested that the Canadian professional football game needs to be opened up. Widger, a linebacker with the Grey Cup champs doesn't look like the usual image of a football player. He is about five foot nine inches tall and weighs 185 and appears to be sort of dwarfed beside team-mate Glenn Wier. Continuing his thoughts on opening up the Canadian game, Widger said, "we have to make our game more ex- citing. This could possibly be done by going with four downs as in the United States. The defence is getting too strong." The 1974 Grey Cup was a good example of defensive u- nits being a bit too strong andthe Super Bowl was along the same lines. The Montreal linebacker said fans are paying about eight dollars for a ticket and they want to be entertained. Another youthful star Harness racing driver Shelley Goudreau is another example of making good in the sports field at an early age. At the age of 26, Shelley has won five driving titles at Wind- sor Raceway in the last six years. Last year, his horses won 300 races and he was second in the battle for driving honours in North America, The winner was the great Herve Filion of Angers, Quebec. Shelley is currently training 30 horses at Windsor and has two in Toronto in addition to about 20 being looked after by his father Fred at their Dresden training headquarters. The best horse ever driven by Goudreau is Baron Gerard. He won with him at Windsor last year in 1.59.4. While Baron Gerard is claimed to be the best, the young Dresden horseman went a faster trip at Wolverine in Detroit with Grover Cat. 'The Exeter Hawks find themselves two games down in their first round of Ontario Hockey Association Western Junior "D" playoff series against the pennant winning Belmont Flyers. After dropping the first game in Belmont, Saturday night by a 11-4 score the Hawks came roaring back Sunday afternoon on home ice and came within 22 seconds of tying up the series. The Belmont club was able to tie the score at 3-3 in the dying moments and went on to post a 6-3 victory in overtime. The third game of the best-of- seven series was played in Belmont last night Wednesday with the fourth slated for the Zurich wins South Huron The South Huron Intermediate hockey league schedule ended Monday night and the playoffs are expected to begin by the end of the week.

Sunday's contest saw the Hawks score the only goal of the first period and although Belmont tied the score at one point in the second period the locals held a lead of 3-2 from the early moments of the third period until the Green Giants notched the tying goal with time running out. Captain Harry Smits finished off a three-way effort with Brian Taylor and John Beer to put the Hawks on the scoreboard in the first period. In the second period Smits was Atom 'B' team gets victory The Exeter atom "B" club with four straight goals in the third period scored a 4-3 victory over St. Thomas in Shamrock minor league play, Saturday. With St. Thomas leading 2-0 starting the third period the Exeter youngsters went to work and tied the score quickly in the first three minutes. Scott Brintnell started the Exeter scoring on passes from Mike Stewart and Graham Solomon and Trevor Boyle knotted the count on a three-way combination with Solomon and Stewart. With six minutes to go Trevor Boyle hit the St. Thomas net with passing help from Scott Brintnell and Graham Solomon and with only 28 seconds left Brintnell hit on a solo effort. Brintnell's goal was needed as St. Thomas came back with another goal with seven seconds remaining on the clock.
