SHORT MEET — Only one heat of a girls relay was carried out at a district invitational swim meet held at
the Exeter swimming pool on Saturday morning. Then the rain and lightning forced cancellation of the
event. Teams from Lucan, Goderich and Exeter were to compete. T-A photo
In preparation for their North
American Midget Cup encounter
at Sarnia Saturday, the Exeter
Csqluubir.ts soccer team travelled to
Greenway Park for an exhibition
"warm-up" against London's
league leading Memorial Boys
The game proved a success for
Exeter in more ways than one,
They defeated the London club 2-
0, then followed up with a
magnificent 10-2 victory over the
Lambton County Blackbirds in
N.A,M.C. play on Saturday.
At Sarnia, Lambton's shaky
defence was no match for
Exeter's energetic forward line
of Greg Peitsch, Jeff Pfaff, Scott
Lovie, Sean Whiteford and Steve
Gould,
This was the home team's first
defeat of the season in nine
starts, and except for the oc-
casional breakaway, they were
never a real threat to the more
polished and organized Exeter
club.
Jeff Pfaff led the squirts
scoring with five well taken
goals, while Steve Gould and
Scott Lo,vie had two scores each,
and Sean Whiteford's single
effort made up the Exeter total.
Last weeks results left Exeter
with an 11-0-1 won-lost-tied
record, and a goals mark of 42-3,
If the squirts can win their last
Crediton teams
win two of three
The Crediton bantams posted
anotherlop-sided victory inWOAA
play as they dumped Seaforth by
an 11-5 count in a game played in
Seaforth, Sunday.
Crediton spotted Seaforth a
one-run lead in the first frame,
but came back with four of their
own in the second to take a lead
they never relinquished.
Four walks, two fielders
choices and one error led the
uprising, with the only hit being a
single by Rick Govers.
Credi ton scored a single tally in
the third, this time without a hit
and added six more in the fourth.
In that frame, Dennis Pfaff,
Darrell Preszcator and Dennis
Preszcator hit singles, while
Randy Parsons contributed a
double.
Paul Gaiser and Dennis Pfaff
shared the pitching duties for the
winners and gave up only four
hits.
Parsons paced the attack with a
single to go with his double, while
Rick Govers had two singles.
Paul Gaiser, Darrell Preszcator,
Dennis Preszcator and Dennis
Pfaff had one single each for the
winners.
Crediton pee wees
The Crediton pee wees split a
pair of contests in WOAA play
this week as they dropped a 3-1
verdict in Seaforth, Friday, and
then rebounded with a convincing
22-12 win over Dashwood on their
home field, Monday.
The two area clubs fought an
even battle over the first five
frames of Monday's game, but
the Crediton crew posted 11 runs
in their final turn at bat to post
the win.
Barry Becker and Tom Dinney
plated two runs apiece in the
uprising, while each of the other
Crediton youngsters scored once.
John Nedza was the top offensive
player with five runs in six trips
to the plate. Steve Dinney had
four.
Watson scored three times for
Dashwood, while Becker, Gaiser
and Boyle crossed the plate
twice.
Tom Dinney and Harold
Borden shared the pitching duties
for the win. Watson took the loss.
In Seaforth, Steve McCowen
posted 14 strike-outs to keep the
Crediton crew in check. His team
mates scored twice in the second
frame and added one more in the
sixth off Tom Dinney .
The lone Crediton run came in
the top of the final frame when

COTTON'S
CO.MMEN.TS
With the sports editor on his annual vacation, the chore
of filling this space reverts to yours truly this week, while
Ted Rowcliffe has been handed the duties for next week's
publication.
It remains to be seen what Ted knows about sport, but
from early indications his number one favorite in that
category is watching the bathing beauties along the shores
of Lake Huron.
No doubt that will be welcomed by a few of our sports
cronies and they'll be looking forward to his helpful hints in
that regard,
Big boost for hockey school
The Huron Hockey School has built up quite a
reputation in the past three years and it probably reached
some sort of pinnacle this season when three members of
the Montreal Canadiens were encouraged by their team
management to come to Huron Park for a few sessions to
improve their individual abilities.
Hockey schools are big business throughout North
America these days, many of them basing their reputation
on the fact they have a few NHL or WHA pros on their
teaching rosters.
However, down at Huron Park they're considered good
enough to teach the pros and there are few better
recommendations than that. Bill Mahoney, Ron Mason and
Brian Gilmour must be well satisfied with their success
since the inception of the school.
Earlier this summer, rumors were floating around
town that Doug Riseborough was working on an area farm,
but in checking with the Montreal rookie this week, we
were advised this was not so. He has spent some summers
working on a farm, but that is down in the Paris area.
"He's made the big time and doesn't have to do that
anymore," one of his teammates chided when he was asked
about his farmwork.
While the Canadiens are known basically as a fast-
skating team that accomplishes its success on the ice with
finesse,. there is an indication that this may be changing
slightly.
Two of the Voyageur players at Huron Park, Gil Lupien
and Gord McTavish are an immense pair of guys, with the
former standing 6'6" and weighing in at 215 pounds. If he
makes the grade, opposition players will have to keep their
heads up a great deal more than they have in the past with
the Canadiens.
When he stretches those long arms out, there will be lit-
tle room for forwards to get around him, although a few of
the smaller players may be able to get enough clearance to
s ate between his legs.
Exeter plans school too
Speaking of hockey schools, the Exeter Minor Hockey
Association will be conducting their second annual fall
training program at Huron Park starting this September.
While the instructors won't be as skilled as those at
Huron Hockey School, the costs are quite a bit different
with the local kids being given 12 hours of ice time for the
price of only $12.
Eighty kids have already signed for the program and
there are only three spots open before registration will be
closed. Any youngsters interested may leave their names
with the writer and he'll do his best to pass along the infor-
mation to the EMHA secretary.
We note that St. Marys will also be operating a fall
program for their minor players this year. They have 150
kids enrolled. Many players will be in top condition by the
time the hockey season gets underway in both communities
and the rivalry between Exeter and St. Marys should again
be on a high level.
Track interest nil
Last week, hundreds of young track stars gathered in
London for the annual Legion track meet. Many small com-
munities in Western Ontario were represented, but to our
knowledge, there were no Exeter area participants.
Track and field interest in this area appears to be at a
low ebb at the present, despite the fact it may have been ex-
pected that the Olympics could have sparked a bit of in-
terest in this sport.
There are still a few high calibre track stars at the high
school and some area public schools, but certainly not to the
extent there were in bygone years when the local high
school was a powerhouse in track and field at the local con-
ference level and even at WOSSA.
Zurich was particularly a hot-bed for track and field
and those from the writer's vintage will recall a few of
those dazzling races between Ron Heimrich and John
Haberer from that community. The O'Brien boys were also
in the winner's circle many times, although the younger
member of that duo had the advantage of getting a slight
edge because his nose crossed the line well ahead of the rest
of his body.
To excel at track and field probably takes more self
sacrifice and dedication than many other sports and this
may be one of the reasons why it is not a favorite with local
kids.
Lack of leadership, and coaching may also be one of the
problems in the area.
IN SHORT — Walt Parkinson, who took exception to an
umpire's decision in a game against Dashwood last week
has been suspended for the balance of the regular schedule
and the first two playoff games for his Arva crew . . The
Exeter men's softball loop provides some great recreation
for the players and some good ball for the fans, so if you
have a free evening, it's worth a trip to the diamond to
watch. In a recent game, the firemen had a full slate of 18
players on hand and were able to change almost the entire
lineup to get everyone into the game. It's great to see that
type of interest in a play for fun contest . , The Exeter
swim team will hit the waters at the local pool again this
Saturday and that also is a competition that spectators will
find most enjoyable. Our team appears a little weaker
than last season, but they still have some great little
swimmers.
