Other South Huron junior boys entered were Wes Abbott, Dan Mittleholtz, Paul Van Esbroeck, Toronto Maple Leaf fans have been criticized for their lack of keen support by the robust and excitable fans south of the bor- der. Hogtowners have retorted that they are more knowledgeable of the game or that the Leafs aren't much to cheer about. Be that as it may there is no excuse for any Canadian to sit on his laurels while the National Anthem is being played and little reason not to join in and sing. I was present for the New York game last week and surprisingly the Leafs were enjoyable. The fans' performance was . . . disgusting.

It's also a disappointment for many area fans who knew his father, Randy Ellis when he was a member of the Centralia RCAF Flyers. Ellis at the age of 30 came close this fall in being nam- ed captain of the Leafs for the coming season. He was edg- ed by Darryl Sittler. In the Sunday edition of the Toronto Sun, sports editor George Gross pays sincere compliments to Ellis. He started out by saying five players are missing from the Leaf lineup including Dave Keon, Norm Ullman. Eddie Shack, Ron Ellis and Bill Flett. The following are remarks made by Gross in his column: "Personally, I'll miss most of the dearly departed, because all contributed to Toronto's hockey tradition, some more, some less. While most of the changes were expected, Ellis' retirement was a shock not only to hockey fans but even to Gardens' management. I liked Ronnie Ellis not only as a hockey player but also as an individual with a lot of class. If I had to look for a hockey player I would want my son to emulate, I wouldn't have to look past Ronnie Ellis, That's why I was so sorry to see him retire at the young age of 30. He could have gone on for some time as a shining example of how to behave on and off the ice and how to play not only the game of shinny, but also the game of life. Ronnie Ellis was one of the most honest hockey players I ever met. To him every game was like a playoff game. He tried equally as hard in the 71st game of the season as the first and regardless whether the Leafs were three goals up or down. When things didn't go right for him Ronnie Ellis was a troubled man. When goals were hard to come by he became worried and those worries often caused sleepless nights. A man who had such deep feelings was bound to eye retire- ment, more than once. He had four years remaining on a contract that would have paid him about $500,000 during that span, but money is not his God. He loves his family, his wife Jan and their two children, much more than the green stuff and wants to spend as much time with them as he possibly can. The Maple Leafs will miss Ronnie Ellis and so will all hockey fans who came to appreciate the honest workmanship of this dedicated player." We would like to echo the comments of George Gross. Ellis was a dedicated, hard working and honest performer with the Leafs and he will be sorely missed in many ways. Help for Tigers The Detroit Tigers are taking some immediate steps to improve their club for the 1976 American league baseball season. Their fleet footed outfielder Ron LeFlore is being sent to a winter league in Puerto Rico in an attempt to improve his hitting. LeFlore who is the speediest Tiger on the base paths since the days of Ty Cobb had trouble getting on base during the just concluded season. In fact, his biggest bugaboo was in striking out. LeFlore struck out 129 times in 1975, only two short of the team record set a few years ago by second baseman Jake Wood. Former Tiger batting great Harvey Kuenn will be LeFlore's hitting instructor throughout the winter months and this should bring about great improvements. LeFlore has shown great speed in stealing bases but it's difficult to steal first base. Wins 200 races again Friday night at the Mohawk Raceway at Campbellville, Goderich native Ron Feagan won his 200th harness race of the season. It marks the seventh time in his brilliant driving career that Feagan has made the winners circle on 200 oc- casions in one season. Ten years ago Feagan became the first Canadian and only the fifth harness horse driver in the world to win 200 races in a single season. In 1972 for the fifth time in his career, he went over the 200 win mark. But this time he accomplished the feat on the Golden Horseshoe circuit alone with 217 victories out of a North American total of 229. The 200 mark eluded Feagan in the 1973 season when he picked up 196 wins but last year he surpassed the 200 plateau by two, the sixth time he passed the magic number. Last year Feagan became the first driver in Ontario to drive horses from his stable past the $500,000 mark in purse monies for a single season. Only the year before his total 'season's earnings in- cluding visits to other Canadian and United States tracks amounted to $546,700 in purses. This year his drives on the Ontario circuit which in- cludes Garden City, Greenwood and Mohawk have grossed over $590,000 and with more than six weeks remaining in the racing season, he should get close to the $700,000 mark. While on the subject of racing we should mention another good performance this summer at the Sudbury racetrack by Crediton driver Jim Wallace. Wallace who won driving honours at the northern track a year ago placed second this summer with 34 victories and an overall average of .444. This record was accomplished in less than two months at the Sudbury oval. A Western Ontario honour It was nice to hear this week that Glenn Weir of the Montreal Alouettes has been named as one of the nominees for a Schenley award. Weir who has been a valuable member of the Montreal club since being traded from Hamilton a few years ago was a popular visitor at the Exeter Lions Club Sportsmen's dinner for the last two years, In response to the nomination Weir said he was pleased to be named but felt he had little chance for the defensive honours because of the presence of fellows like Bill Baker of British Columbia Lions and Jim Corrigal of' the Toronto Argos. Weir added that he was more concerned about his club winning their next two games in the CFL schedule, JI I I I I I I 11111111 I I 1111 II I I 1111 1111111111I I I I 1 I I III I I I I I 111 I I I 111 I I I I I I I I I II 11111 I I I I I I I I I I I I IIII I II I I II II II I 1 I I 1 II :71 Drive Over The Bridge And Save As Our SUPER SALE on Hockey Equipment CONTINUES Fantastic Savings • Pants • Shoulder Pads On Quality ›- • Shin Guards • Sticks Merchandise • Gloves • Elbow Pads We have a wide SELECTION OF GOOD USED SKATES In Stock They're New . .

The South Huron senior girls won their division championship with an excellent point total of 15, The junior boys placed second third behind Stratford Nor- thwestern and Madill of Wingham, Both local teams will be representing the Huron-Perth Conference in Friday's Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association meet, It will also be staged at the Ausable golf course. Stratford Central won the overall championship with four division victories. The meet was held on the grounds of South Huron District High School and extended to the east to Morrison Dam in Usborne Defer decision on Greys win Exeter councillor Ted Wright asked council this week to con- sider some recognition for the Exeter Greys softball team, which recently won the area women's league title. He said the members of the team feel badly they have never been recognized by the town for their achievements and he said they were even considering dropping the Exeter from their team name, Reeve Derry Boyle said a move is underway to provide shields to honor local teams and individuals and noted that council has not as yet honored last year's Ontario champion bantam hockey team. Recreation director Jim McKinlay said some com- munities stage banquets for sports achievement recognition. He also noted thatwhile the Greys won their league title, it was equivalent to a local hockey team winning their Shamrock league and to bestow special recognition for this could be costly in view of the number of times it could 'occur. The matter of the ball team was turned over to the finance committee for deliberation.
