T-A photo Hawks get double victories, crucial test with Mitchell next The Exeter Hawks scored two consecutive victories this week to increase their point total to date in the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" league to seven points. Wednesday in Belmont, the Hawks downed the defending Ontario champion Belmont Bombers by a score of 5-3 and Sunday night at the Huron Park arena they ran roughshod over the Seaforth Centennaires by a score of 14-2. The most important game of the year so far for the Exeter club will take place Sunday night at the Huron Park arena when the Mitchell Hawks will supply the opposition. Game time is set for 8:15 p.m. The two Hawk teams are battling for first place in the league standings. In their only other meeting this year they played to a 3-3 draw in Mitchell. Last Half Scoring Most of the Exeter scoring in Sunday's win over Seaforth came in the last half of the game. The Hawks held a 3-1 lead after the first 20 minutes of play and ex- tended the lead to 8-3 by the end of the second period. The game was only a minute and 44 seconds old when defen- ceman Phil Knight put the Hawks on the scoreboard as he com- pleted a three-way effort with Brian Taylor and Gerald Weido. Weido came back only four minutes later to fire a successful shot on a play started by Tom Hayter and Brian Taylor. The final first period marker for the Hawks was chalked up by Matt Muller with assists going to Don McKellar and Tom Hayter. . Ken Pinder potted the first two goals of the second period for the Exeter team. John Van Gerwen assisted on both scores while Paul Brooks and Fred Mom- mersteeg picked up single assists. Other middle frame markers came from the sticks of Brian Taylor, John Van Gerwen and Phil Knight. Getting credit for assists were Phil Knight, Paul Brooks and Paul Pooley. John Van Gerwen scored two goal's in a space of 20 seconds early in the third period with passing help each time from Fred Mommersteeg and Ken Pinder. Brian Taylor was another Exeter double scorer in the final period and Ken Pinder and Don McKellar added single goals. Rick Ingram grabbed three assists and John Van Gerwen, Fred Momr4rsteeg and Tom Hayter helped on 6ne goal. Laurie Skinner was in goal for the Hawks and kept the Seaforth goal total down to two. The Hawks took 17 of the 28 penalties called by referees George Sweeney and Pat O'Brien, Paul Brooks of Exeter and the Seaforth goalie Lou Arts each received game misconducts and will likely miss the next two games due to suspensions, John Van Gerwen and Ken Pinder were the two Exeter stars of the game and each will receive gift certificates from McKnight's Men's Wear, In Belmont Wednesday night, the Hawks overcame an early two goal deficit to down the defending provincial champions 5-3. Rick Vanhie scored two goals for Belmont by the 13 minute mark of the first period before the Exeter youngsters were able to get untracked. Don McKellar put the Hawks on the scoreboard for the first time at 16:54 of the first frame on a pass from Fred Mommersteeg while Belmont was playing a man short. The Hawks pulled on even terms at 14.34 of the middle stanza when Matt Muller fired the puck into the Belmont net. The assist went to Paul Pooley. The third period was four minutes old when the Hawks took, the lead for the first time. Paul Pooley let go a successful shot on a play started by brother Perry. Paul Logan nudged his Belmont mates back on even terms at 5:36 but the draw was - short lived. The Hawks winning goal came from the stick of John Van gtrwen on a three-way com- bination with captain Ken Pinder and Ron Bilcke. With Belmont applying pressUre in the dying moments Gerald Weido was able to break loose and fire an in- surance goal with only 29 seconds remaining. Assists were provided by Brian Taylor and Rick Ingram. Randy Lovie was in goal for the Hawks and turned in a steady performance, WEST END BILLIARDS Pool Tables Pin Ball Machines Open Weekdays 12 noon - 11 p.m. Saturdays 12 - 1 1:30 p.m. SAVE $30.00 FALL MAINTENANCE TIME IS HERE * Major Engine Tune Up (6 months or 6,000 miles Guarantee) * Headlights — checked.

Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Busy winter Most winter programs in Exeter and area will be well underway by this weekend and there are enough activities to keep everyone busy and it doesn't matter if you want to be a participant or just a good old ordinary fan. A full winter's program is already in progress at the Exeter curling club. Director King McDonald reports that sufficient repairs have been completed to satisfy the On- tario Ministry of Labour to allow activities to go ahead full steam. Repairs to the roof over the actual ice surface have been completed suitable to government officials and the roof over the lounge portion will be completed in the very near future. While practice sessions have been going on at the curl- ing club this week, a club mixed bonspiel will officially open the season, Saturday and regular draws for men, women and mixed will start next week. Curling is becoming a very popular sport and it affords people of all ages an opportunity for healthful exercise dur- ing the winter months. Anyone wishing to try the sport for the first time should give Jim Chapman a call. The' genial principal of the Exeter Public School can be reached at 235-1644 or 235-2630 and he will put you in touch with the right person for league ac- tivities. For the hockey fans who wish to get their excitement by watching top notch hockey there is plenty of opportunity with three excellent leagues in the area in addition to numerous minor teams. The South Huron intermediate league with teams in this area from Huron Park, Centralia College, Shipka, Hensall and Zurich is starting the regular schedule this week. The Exeter junior Hawks have shown in their first five games that they will have a lot to say about who wins the Ontario championship this year. Wednesday night the Hawks scored a 5-3 victory over the defending champions from Belmont and Sunday they romped over Seaforth by a score of 14-2. One of the biggest tests of the early season for the Hawks will come Sunday night when they play host to the Mitchell Hawks who appear to be one of the strongest clubs in the league. A game about two weeks ago in Mitchell between the two Hawks clubs resulted in a 3-3 tie. This should result in an excellent game Sunday at Huron Park at 8:15 p.m. A 'scheduled home game with Port Stanley Saturday night has been postponed because Hawk management was not able to come up with any ice time. As soon as ice is available at the Zurich arena, the Hawks will transfer the 'balance of their 1976-77 games there, „On, the, senior hockey front, „the .Lucan-Ilderton Jets have a solid grip on second place in the OHA Continental Senior league, only one point behind the front running Lon- don Kings. , Jets manager-coach Don Urbshott told us this week that he thinks his team is ready to pl# the brand of hockey which could win the league championship. Urbshott com- mented, "They seem to be really motivated now and we should be off and running." The Jets have added Rob Keelestine to their goal ten- ding staff and he should prove to be a good partner with Lorne Daer. Keelestine was with the Goderich Sailors, an intermediate team last year. He showed up well in two starts for the Jets this past week. He was in goal for a win over Port Stanley and a 4-4 tie with Preston. The Preston club appears to be much stronger this year with the addition of several top players from the now defunct New Hamburg Screaming Eagles including goalie Paul Steffler. Arenas proceeding Work has commenced on construction of the new South Huron recreation centre at Exeter Community Park and work on the renovations and reconstruction at Lucan is go- ing well. Lucan reeve Ivan Hearn told us this week that arena work there could be about one week behind original schedules due to a slowdown in the arrival of the steel. As the steel will come to Lucan in 18 foot lengths a special permit is needed to transport any load on the highway which is wider than 16 feet. Hearn said some delay was experienced in obtaining the permit but he expected the steel would arrive next week. The Lucan arena will be a much larger building when it is completed. The overall building to house the arena facilities will be 44 feet wider and 18 feet longer than the old structure. The ice surface will be 15 feet longer and wider at 185 feet by 85 feet and seats will be installed to accommodate 1,700 spectators. The arena proper is being constructed as phase one of the project with the auditorium included in phase two and the front foyer and entrance will be the last to be com- pleted. The auditorium to accommodate 600 persons for a ban- quet will be built to the south of the present arena, While on the subject of arena building, the Grand Bend Lions club is spearheading a drive in the popular summer resort to provide an arena and other recreational facilities, Lions members are hopeful of obtaining permission from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to lease a 22 acre site about a mile south of Grand Bend. The property in question is now a picnic area and park near the Pineridge Zoo. Another rally To the many area couples and families anxious to par- ticipate in another of those exciting car rallies, they will have to wait an extra week. The next rally was set for Sunday, November 28 but it has now been postponed one week until Sunday, December 5. The reason for the delay is the 1976 Grey Cup football game which will be held on the last Sunday in November at CNE Stadium in Toronto. Rally organizer Arn MatherS advises that the third and final rally of the season will be quite similar to the last one with a total distance of less than 60 miles. 11/lathers said the route will take drivers around the Ex- eter area and "we will keep it quite simple." The award presentations at the conclusion of the rally will be held in- doors. Wareing wins WOSSA title Athletes from South Huron District High School turned in excellent performances at Saturday's Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association cross country meet. Paul Wareing of South Huron won the boys junior individual championship and Dorothy Van Esbroeck was second in the senior girls competition, In team divisions, the local senior girls were second and the senior boys placed fifth. Five senior boys from South Huron showed well in their division. They were Wes Abbott, Francis Hartman, Paul Van Esbroeck, Dan Mittelholtz and John Stephens. Members of the senior girls team in addition to runnerup Dorothy Van Esbroeck were Lucy Van Esbroeck, Diana Verlinde, Janet Bilcke, Maureen Muller, Jayne Dougall, Susan Chapman, Pauline Gielen and Kathy Cooper. Paul Wareing and the senior girls team will be competing in the all-Ontario championships being held this weekend in St. Ca tharines. Curlers set for season The 1976-77 season at the Exeter curling club gets un- derway this weekend in a rather informal way with practice nights for newcomers. A practice session was held for the ladies last night, Wednesday and all men are welcome tonight, Thursday. The first mixed bonspiel of the season will be held Saturday with two games to be played in each of two draws. Anyone wishing fur- ther information on curling is asked to contact Jim Chapman at 235-1644 or 235-2630. King McDonald, a director of the Exeter curling club reports that repairs have been completed to the roof over the ice surface and approval has been obtained from the Ontario Ministry of Labour. Roof repairs over the lounge portion of the building will be completed' in the very near futur,e. The Battle For First Place!
