Beginning in January, 1977 all hunter safety examina- tion centres will be held at the Hullett Wildlife Management Area maintenance building. There will be a centre on the third Tuesday of each month. However, if a large number of applications are received, additional centres will be scheduled at the same location. Applicants are reminded to send in their applications to the Wingham office at least two weeks prior to the ex- amination date in order that they may be processed in time. Anyone wishing to obtain a hunting licence for the first time must participate in the examinations. More on continental It is very interesting to receive the statistical sheet each week on activities in the Ontario Hockey Association Continental Senior hockey league. Nick Martin, the statistician out of Stratford does a tremendous job in keeping the media and the participating clubs well informed on what's going on. This week's sheet reveals that the record of the Lucan- Ilderton Jets club of 1972-73 in winning 14 straight games has never been seriously threatened. Jacques Cousineau of the Jets has passed the 100 goal mark. The veteran forward from Smooth Rock Falls is only the seventh player in Continental league history to reach the 100 plateau. One of the top goal tenders in the Continental loop for the past five years has announced his retirement. He is Brian Caley of the Durham Huskies. Caley has alternated most of that time with another well known goalie Gord Becker. Roughriders will win After a perfect record of being wrong in our predictions of the weekend Canadian Football League eastern and western finals all we will say this week is the Roughriders will win the Grey Cup. Two things are certain, one of the Roughrider teams will win the Grey Cup and the largest crowd ever will be in attendance at the newly enlarged CNE Stadium in Toronto. The 1977 Grey Cup game is slated for the Olympic Stadium in Montreal and attendance.records will be certain with a crowd in excess of 70,000. Controversial subject While on the subject of CFL football, we had a chance to read all three Toronto papers over the weekend on the subject of the Argos and the firing of coach Russ Jackson. In the Sun, writer Jim Hunt said he was sorry to see Jackson go despite the fact he was one of the leading critics of coach. Hunt went on to say, "When he was hired I saw no reason why Jackson couldn't succeed as coach of the Argos, the most impossible job in Canadian football, perhaps in the entire world of fun and games." In the same paper, Pat Hickey said, "Jackson was shafted." Hickey explains, "The Argos reneged on a promise when they dumped Jackson with three years to run on a five year contract. He didn't get the five years he and owner Bill Hodgson agreed were needed to build the Argos into a winning football team. Shamefully, he didn't even get two years. He was robbed of a full season by a spoiled superstar, one Anthony Davis." In the Globe and Mail, Christie Blatchford dug back for comments by four persons when Jackson was hired two years ago. The then new Argo owner Bill Hodgson said, "The new coach will be given a multi-year contract, so we will sink or swim with him. And I promise you that if we don't succeed with the present management, I will sell the club." Presumably the Argos are for sale. Leo Cahill then with Memphis of the World football loop and now a prime candidate to succeed Jackson, "I'm sur- prised Russ took it. He said he wanted to retire and I thought he would go out on top. This could backfire on him." Russ Jackson himself, "I'm not coming into this with a negative attitude. The Argos have given me security. I'm looking at it as a possible 10 year job, or a career," Dick Shatto, then Argo publicist and now general manager, "We're looking for someone with past experience in the CFL." Shatto is still looking. In the Toronto Star, veteran writer Milt Dunnell said, "No person ever gave the job more class than Jackson. That isn't enough if he can't coach. Whether he deserved to be fired can be debated until somebody gets slugged off his bar stool. Whether any coach deserves it is debatable. It just happens to be a way of the jungle." Dunnell's last comment was, "You can't blame it all on Anthony Davis." Despite all the furor over Jackson's dismissal, one thing is sure. He will receive more money for not coaching for the next three years than the fellow who takes over and actually does the masterminding. His salary is believed to be about $75,000 per annum plus fringe benefits. In this case the fringe benefits may be the fact he won't be coaching but will show up on pay day. Huron Park hockey Shamrock Minor league action, The midgets score was 7-0 Lambeth won the pee wee contest 10.2 and the bantam game 13-1, The only Huron Park bantam goal was notched by Rick Lather on a pass from Ralph Wells.

The Exeter Hawks won two of the three Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" hockey games played this week. Wednesday in Ilderton, the Hawks doubled the score 6-3 over the Lucan Irish; Saturday night they suffered a 6-3 defeat in Mt. Brydges and Sunday night in Zurich they outscored the same Mt. Brydges club 10-6. The Hawks travel to Port Stanley tonight, Thursday to meet the Port Stanley Lions; Friday they go to Seaforth to meet the Centenniares and Sun- day night they will be back on home ice at the Zurich arena to meet the Tavistock Braves. Game time is 8: p.m. In Sunday's victory over Mt. Brydges, the Hawks scored two goals in the first four minutes of play and were never headed although the visitors stayed close for the first period. The Exeter club decided the issue with three unanswered goals in the final period. The first Hawk marker came on a power play at 2.46 of the opening period when Rick Ingram hit on a three-way effort with Brian Taylor and Steve Jen- nison. Only a minute later, Paul Pooley made it 2-0 converting a pass from Matt Muller. Before the period was over, Brian Taylor and Gerald Weido tallied for the Hawks. Assists were credited to Gerald Weido, Paul Brooks and Rick Ingram. In the middle frame, Brian Taylor and Paul Pooley scored on unassisted efforts and Ken Pinder counted with passing help from John Van Gerwen and Jim Ferguson. Paul Pooley completed a hat trick with a successful shot at 3.10 of the third period on a play started by Jim Ferguson. In the later stages, Gerald Weido scored from Rick Ingram and Noel Skinner and Steve Jennison scored on a solo effort. Late in the third period in Mt. Brydges Saturday night, Hawks coach Glen "Rocky" Weise received a game and match penalty for chasing the referees across the ice. Manager Fred Mommersteeg will take over the coaching duties while Weise serves a suspension. The length of time the coach will be out of action is not known at the moment. It could be for at least four games. The Hawks took the lead quick- ly Saturday night as Perry Pooley scored on a power play in the first minute. Gary Toth of Mt, Brydges was penalized after only nine seconds of play. Phil Knight assisted on Pooley's successful shot. The other Exeter marker came in with only four minutes left in the third period. In a reversal from their usual early season pattern, the Hawks took the lead over Lucan Wednesday and were never head- ed. It was a four goal outburst in the last half of the second period which actually made the difference. The Exeter club led 1-0 at the end of the first period and 2-1 un- til the 15.37 mark of the middle frame when they started to pull away. The only goal of the first 20 minutes of play came at 17,10 when Fred Mommersteeg blink- ed the light behind the Lucan net on a three-way combination with Ken Pinder and John Van Gerwen. At 14.24 of the second session the Hawks took a 2-0 lead when Brian Taylor scored on an un- assisted effort. Only 20 seconds later the Irish hit the scoreboard for the first time as Ken Murray clicked with.. assists going to Brad Taylor and Don Latta.

The final Exeter goal late in the third period was an identical play with Taylor scoring from Weido.
