Tim Bertelson opened the scoring, for Belmont early in the first period when he took a pass from Jeff Dale and Kevin George and tucked the puck in behind Randy Louie. Belmont added to their total in the period with Randy Foster scoring and Jeff Dale bagging the eventual game winner, Exeter didn't get on the scoreboard until late in the first period when Gerald Wiedo scored from Steve Jennison while Kevin George of Belmont was off for an interfprence infraction, Compared to the second period, the first period with just five minor penalties called, was a tame affair, Wiedo, Cam Haist and Paul Brooks decided it was fight time and took on Dave Simpson, Marvin Simpson and Paul Logan in a battle that resulted in all three getting major penalties and game misconduct for Logan as well.

T-A photo Jets beat Huskies on third period outburst A three goal explosion by the Lucan-Ilderton Jets in the third period carried them to a 6-3 victory over the first place Durham Huskies in Continental Senior "A" action at the Ilderton arena on Sunday afternoon. Junior Olympics The South Huron District High School Wrestling team defeated the Listowel team in a meet held at SHDHS last Thursday. SH won 25 of the 30 matches that were run, bringing their total points to 66 against Listowel's 18. Vince Winters, Dave Robinson, Cliff Hicks, Mike Westelaken, Mark Paton, Brian Mayer, Perry Sereda, Rick Skinner, Randy Fisher, Darrell Preszcator and Rick Bilcke all won their respective matches. Skinner had the fastest pin, dropping his opponent in 14 seconds. Mark Paton, with his three pins, was considered the best wrestler of the day and Ron Bilcke the most improved. On Saturday a Junior Olympics was held at the school, with 140 wrestlers competing from London, Sarnia, St. Mary's, Woodstock, Clinton, St. Thomas, Stratford. and South Huron. South Huron entered 14 com- petitors in the meet that was sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada. All the wrestlers who competed in the 16 different weight classes were under 16 years of age. Skinner won all three of his matches in the 160 pound class to take it. Rick Bilcke did the same in the heavyweight class defeating all of his opponents. SH's next meet will be against Stratford Northwestern on December 4 at 3:00 p.m. Randy Roth, who had two goals in the game, opened the scoring for the Jets followed by Rick Fifield to give the Jets a 2-0 lead. Brad Deline had the only reply for the Huskies. Dean Symons, who leads the league in scoring, tied the game early in the second frame before Rick Martin gave the Jets the lead again at 13:07 of the period. Symons scored his second of the game just past the seventeen minute mark to send the teams to the dressing room tied. Roth scored the eventual game winner on a power play goal at 4:54 of, the third. Carter added the insurance, again on a power play, at 12:54 and Bill White finished the scoring at 16:47. It was the Jets third win in a row, after they defeated the New Hamburg Screaming Eagles in a game that was played in New Hamburg. On Tuesday night, the Jets dropped their game against St. Thomas for a surprise defeat. Martin, Fifield, Steve De Gurse and White scored for the Jets. The winning goal went to Steve Proctor, a former Jet.

Despite the fact that Exeter had ample man advantage op- portunities, they were unable to score while Belmont played shorthanded, Chuck Peterson took a pass from Randy Foster and Mike Lane and scored the insurance goal for Belmont just before. Ken Pinder scored on passes from John VanGerwen and Rick Grenter. Paul Logan finished off the scoring for Belmont while Fred Mommersteeg cooled his heels for Exeter minutes before Logan was ejected from the game. The third period. saw no goals and more penalties from both. clubs, with Belmont taking the brunt of the calls, picking up eight minor infractions.

Graham Hill is dead, killed in a plane crash Satur- day evening while flying his own plane. He was forty-six. In 1969 Hill's car malfunctioned on the back straight at Watkin's Glen. He got out and made the minor adjustment necessary and continued the race. However, because of the six point safety harness drivers are required to wear, and the impossibility of doing up the harness without help, Hill was not strapped in. On the subsequent lap Hill's car flipped, and smashed into a retaining barrier at speeds in the area of 100 miles an hour. Both of his legs were broken, at the knee. The immediate prognosis was that Hill would never walk, let alone race again. The 1970 season came and so did Hill, pushing his car as fast as the hot young lions who were making innuendoes about his ability. That stopped soon after the season started. Hill was that kind of a man. He was also the only man who has ever won the triple crown of racing. Le Mans, Indy and two World Cham- pionships. Something like being on the World Series winning team and following that up by participating in and winning the Stanley Cup. Racing, particularly Formula One, is a young man's sport. In no other sport is the concentration, reflex action and punishment as great as it is when you hurl a car through the banks of Monza or around the Gashouse bend at Monaco. The tendency is for drivers to retire when they lose their peripheral vision and the hands lose their steadiness on the wheel and start to twitch. The toll of the loss of friends to the sport is apparent, and takes its marks. Jackie Stewart after the death of teammate Francois Cevert. After his friends Piers Courage, Jochen Bonnirer and Jochen Rindt and Bruce McLaren. Stewart denied the fact that Cevert's death was motivation when he retired before the Glen in '74. but it makes me wonder if he had seen too many lost already. Hill lost many friends as well, but he was always there, flaunting his incomporable skills in front of the young and showing them so much. He had been racing,for so long he seemed a tradition and when he finally retired this year, replacing his helmet of black and white stripes for a cap of the same ilk, a large part of the lore of racing retired with him, It is indeed fortunate that Hill was not killed in action. There are only two or three names that are remembered by the public for the racing fraternity, A. J. Foyt, Stewart and Hill. Had he been killed while driving, the outcry would have been enormous and the pressure to stop the "bar- barism" and "murder" as so many call it, could well have swamped the sport. It can be likened to Gordie Howe dying on the rink. The ramifications are nearly infinite, Beyond his tremendous skill Hill gave more of himself than was required. He never was too short of time to talk with the fans, sign autographs. My personal memory of Hill was at Mosport, when he was sitting on the pit wall, I spotted him and wedged my camera lens through the slats that separate the mechanics and fans and was attempting to take his4picture. He was waiting to go out and his car was ready, he knew he had to go and he knew I wanted the pic- ture. As I fiddled someone called saying that he had better hurry. I still got the picture. He involved himself in track safety and led in developments that have saved many lives. He was always available to help a charity and gave freely of himself. England has some of the stiffest tax laws in the world, taxes that bite a lot out of anyone's income, but particularly the affluent. Many of his English compatriots have left their native lands not for fairer shores, but for more lucrative tax dodges. Hill stayed on. He was always the con- summate English gentleman. Polite, dignified and classic, he always looked too much like he should be at Ascot with his pencil thin moustache and grey hair swept back than standing in the heat of Kylamai or the rain at Silverstone. All too often people present the physical image of being someone that they are not. Hill was the man he presented. It is common knowledge that many of the racers of to- day don't know the technology and reasons behind the great speed that they are able to attain. Of course they know the basics about wing height and angle and tire pressure but they are unaware of the brilliant, imagination of their engines or the basis for the streamlined dips and sways of their car shells and their aerodynamic uses, They are also some of the worst managers in the world, Two of the best examples of this are Jack Brabaham and John Surtees, drivers extraordinaire in their day, who tried their hands at design and management, only to be forced to sell a few years later because of fiscal inability and organizational difficulty, Hill had been managing the Embassy Shadow - Em- bassy Lola team for the past three years, He was also rac- ing and it is to his credit that in the up and down world of motor racing sponsorships, sponsorships that rely on the names of winners, his team never ran into difficulties, and he always managed to secure top rookies to take out his vehicles. When he retired he said, with his usual dry humour, that it was not fair to the young drivers that he be com- peting against them. It was said in jest, but rang true when it can be seen that the grand old man was still finishing higher more consistently then they and many of their com- patriots. Each death in racing has its own ramifications. When Mark Donahue died several months ago it was a shock. Donahue seemed too perfect. It was unlike him to have an accident. His death was mourned and through it all was the overriding sense that it was a loss in the technical depart- ment because Donahue was an engineer of top quality, sometimes before being a driver of top quality. When Peter Revson died in February of 1974 it was the loss of the little rich kid who had proven himself to be a contender and a combatant, Cevert was the demise of someone destined for the world championship. Each retirement and leaving of the sport brings talk to "never being replaced," When Juan Fangio quit with twenty-four victories it was thought impossible that someone would ever overtake him, let alone catch him. Then came Jimmy Clark, potentially the best ever, who was killed at Hochenheim, with twenty five victories. No one would surpass that it was said. Not until Stewart, who finished with twenty-seven, and more points then any other driver ever. Now it is said that no one will reach twenty- eight, but someday someone will and then there will be thir- ty and so on, and on. Each time there is one gone, there is a new one to replace the old. There will be another Donahue, another Stewart, and even another Clark. There will never be another Graham Hill.
