The Jets hammered the New Hamburg Screaming Eagles 8-1 Friday in Lucan and whipped the second place Durham Huskies 9-2 in Ilderton on Sunday. Rick Martin led the way in both games, collected seven goals, four against the Eagles and the hat trick in the Durham game. The Eagles had Mother Nature against them when they played in Lucan on Friday, as many of the players were held up by poor driving conditions, some of them not arriving until the game was half way over. Along with Martin's four goals, • Steve De Gurse, the Jets leading scorer, Bill Bannerman, Bill White and Rick Fifield picked up markers. John Woods managed the only reply for the Eagles to break Sonny Pen- nington's shut-out. Sunday in Ilderton was much the same story, as the Jets were again led by Martin. Bannerman opened the scoring with the only goal of the first period, as the Jets were out- played for the first ten minutes of the period. The Huskies had 11 shots on Pennington in the first ten minutes of play. Pennington faced a total of 45 shots throughout the game, stopping all but two. Brian Caley kicked out 38 for the Huskies. The Jets moved into'a 4-1 lead in the second and from there rolled on with a five goal outburst in the third frame to complete the scoring. Along with Martin's three and Bannerman's marker, other goals came from Randy Roth, with his eighteenth and nineteenth and White with a pair. Jim Aitken had both goals for the Huskies. The back to back wins move the Jets into third place with 28 points, one ahead of the London By MRS.

Pee Wee Bantam Three unassisted efforts and two set ups by Greg Lawrence and Brian Sutherland sent John Bryne of the Northstars onto a five goal game as the Northstars defeated the Penguins 7-2 in Pee Wee-Bantam action. Dave Lawrence set up Doug Medd and Shane Peacock scored the other goals for the Nor- thstars. The only replies for the Penguins came from Scott Walsh when he converted a pass from Bobby Minderlien and Harold Borden on an unassisted effort. Both teams travel to Exeter this weekend for matches.

Over 20 women turned out to register for five a side indoor soccer Monday night, ranging in age from 12 years to their mid- thirties. Play will start soon, possibly as soon as next week, with the executive promising to contact the prospective players before Monday night. The two soccer clubs have come to agreement about the use of equipment, which is owned by the Centennial club. They have also agreed on af- filiation next year if the new club succeeds, which signs indicate it will do. At the Recreation and Parks meeting Wednesday night, Dave Zyluk, a RAP member and a vice-president of the Independent club, applied for affiliation with RAP.

Watch your fingers when testing or removing! by Fred. Youngs I didn't watch the Super Bowl on Sunday. I've seen the last three and felt that sleeping would have been infinitely more productive, so I skipped it. What I did instead was something that I did once last year, and barring that one time, haven't done since I was 17.1 went to an outdoor rink and played hockey for about three hours. was back in Kitchener for the weekend, and some friends of mine decided to bow to the government's par- ticipation campaign and get together and play. Missed the superbowl, but had a good time. Anyway, driving back from Kitchener early Monday morning, it struck me that there is no outdoor rink in Exeter where kids can go and play, pick up hockey on a Saturday or Sunday. That pick up brand of hockey is one that is so much different from organized hockey as to be like night and day. Pick up is unorganized. Eight-year-olds bang around with teenagers and each person on the ice has a different status. No "older" player will throttle a younster. Older players, knowing there is an easy mark as the youngster has a breakaway on him may play Russian and take a dive. It is far different from anything that the arena produces, and it is a necessary thing. This is not to say that the programmes that the arena is running are too confining or restrictive in their nature, it just points out the fact that there is nothing in this town where groups -of people can get together and play a spon- taneous game of shinny. In fact there is nothing other than the free skating at the arena for people not interested in hockey but just dashing about the ice surface for a while. Free skating solves part of the problem for those peo- ple, but not for the budding Bobby Orrs, Right now, those interested in banging the puck around have to content themselves with the reservoir above the dam in Riverview Park. This is all well and good during this time of the year, when there is a safe ice surface. But what happens when the weather becomes milder? When the ice begins to soften and melt? The unsupervised playing could well lead to tragedy if the ice was not sufficiently strong to hold up. A rink is needed in the Exeter area, and there are several possibilities for one. Jim McKinlay, recreation director for the town, suggests that we follow the example set by Seaforth this past weekend and flood the ball dia- mond. This is the most feasible idea, as the diamond already has a power hookup and lights installed. Lights, although a luxury, are a necessity, in that the bulk of the users of the rink would be school pupils, getting out when it is near dark. There are other areas that could be considered, but none as good as the diamond. The next logical choice would be the tennis courts, but McKinlay had some good arguments against that. He said that the damages that are possible to the court outweigh the advantages of flooding it. So it looks like the ball diamond. I can not think of one outdoor rink that I have ever seen fail as far as usage goes. There is a need for one in Exeter, and whether or not this is the year of restraint, room in budgets should be made. People will still use the arena, and enrollment in minor hockey will not drop. It is for those who have no scheduled game, or those not in the minor hockey organization, or those who want to skate, but prefer doing it outdoors, ( there is a difference), that the rink is needed. Hopefully by next year the demands for it will be met. + + + Canada has produced only one major contender in big league racing. Sure, we've had George Eaton, who a dallied in Formula One and Can-Am making a rather unim- pressive show in both. Eppie Wietzes, out of Toronto, plays about in Formula 5000 and once ran in the Grand Prix of Canada but he was so hopelessly outclassed that they had to add a position to the starting grid for him. The only professional of any matter at all to come out of Canada is Earl Ross from Ailsa Craig. Ross, as you may recall, runs stock cars, and does a good job at it, He is clearly the best in Canada, but the real question is how he measures up to the good ole' boys from the South. Well, he does measure up. In his first run at the Daytona 500, the premier event for stock car racing, Ross was the rookie of the year. No small feat at all. In fact, Ross seemed to be finding his legs on the NASCAR circuit with their slipstreaming, fender bumping style of driving when his sponsors, Carling's Breweries of Canada, pulled the rug out from under him. Maybe they thought that there was more publicity to be gotten elsewhere. So, sponsorship being the name of the game in racing, and the no money-no race syndrome working against him, Ross sat last season out. It looked none too good for this season either until it was announced over the past weekend that the Coca-Cola company would be picking up the tab for Ross to race again in the Daytona classic. Coke is a big money factor in stock car racing, being one of the major sponsors of both events and other cars. Hopefully they will not pull the same trick as Carling's did, and now maybe Ross will get the chance that he deserves. + + + They will have to come. No two ways about it, major league baseball can not refuse the offer from the La batt's- Webster-Bank of Commerce group to buy the San Fransisco Giants. It just keeps getting better and better. Now the buyers have told the sellers that they will go to unlimited heights to protect thern l against lawsuits and whatnot as congressmen on their high horses and offended mayors babble about the loss of the Giants. Any league which refused an offer like the Canadian offer would have to be out of their mind. Right now the WHA would sell their collective mothers for a franchise like this one. (Actually, the WHA is taking anyone who will offer to buy, including unemployed Latin-American revolutionaries.) The National League is nowhere near as stupid as most of us thought, as they have given all but the consenting voice to the Toronto operation. They have realized the financial worth, both collectively and individually, of the three partners and are recognizing it.It's not over yet, but it seems like a sure thing, The line up for season's tickets hasn't started, but it will soon. Toronto is baseball hungry and they will support this team. There has been a quiet internal push for the last two or three years, by various groups in Toronto to bring baseball there, It seemk to have worked, What these people who wanted baseball So much must do now is get out and show some support fOr the new team. No matter how much money Webster, La tbatts and the Bank of CoMmerce have, they will not operate a losing franchise for too long. If it proves unprofitable, they will sell it again as quickly as they bought it, Ross gets sponsor for Daytona 500 Things go better with Coke, and things certainly are going better for Earl Ross, the Ailsa Craig stock car driver, who is now being sponsored by the Coca-Cola company, Ross, who won rookie of the year honor at the Daytona 500, and was the first Canadian to win a NASCAR Grand National event, was sponsored by Carling's Breweries of Canada before they pulled out of driver sponsorship and sponsored events instead. Ross drove for Carling's the first time he en- tered at Daytona, the premier event in Grand National Stock Car racing. Coke, which is the official soft drink at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal is sponsoring Ross at Daytona for more publicity, It is estimated that the race is wat- ched by about 20 million TV viewers each year. Coke will also sponsor Ross in events throughout Ontario, and others in Quebec and the West. Ross said that he will also be running some short track events in the U.S. depending on the whims of individual bottlers. This means that if an individual bottler .of coke is located near a track, he can request Ross to race at that track. In Canada, Ross will be racing with his partner Norm Elliott. Ross will own the cars, one of which is definitely a Chevelle Laguna the other to be either a Nova or a Venturi. He also said that he may use Camaros on the American short tracks, and maybe a Pontiac. The Laguna will be used at Daytona. It will run a small block engine prepared by Performance Engineering in Toronto. When Ross races at Daytona, his only planned Grand National Event, it will be the first time that a Canadian built car, with a Correctly aligned front wheels are toed-in slightly to compen- sate for camber, the outward tilt at the top that helps them sustain the load.
