BUT SMALL ENOUGH TO BE FRIENDLY SH wrestlers win 1111-10 title for seventh time All 15 members of the South Huron District High School wrestling team will be competing in the annual WOSSA competition being held in London Friday and Saturday. The South Huron team won the Huron-Perth Conference championship in Listowel Friday for the seventh time in the last eight years and five members won individual championships. Six others placed second and four were third allowing all team members to qualify for the weekend WOSSA competition at Saunders Secondary School in. London.

Last year he was the winner at 90 pounds, Mike Westelaken won four straight matches at 123 pounds to take the championship, Murton Brock was the next champion taking all four matches at 130 pounds and Brian Mayer was best in the 136 pound division. Rick Bilcke won the 194 pound championmship on the strength of four straight vic- tories. In the 90 pound section Vince Winters won two matches and then lost a close 10-7 decision to finish second. In another close finish Cliff Hicks lost 4-3 after winning three times and was the runnerup at 115 pounds. The other South Huron wrestlers finishing second were Randy Fisher at 168 pounds, Ron Bilcke competing at 178 pounds, Randy Fisher Bill Duttman at 148 pounds and Ray Gallagher in the unlimited division.

Rick Bilcke accomplished the fastest pin in 14 seconds, Brian Mayer was named the best SH wrestler and the honour of the most improved went to Ray Gallagher. The Exeter Waxers ran into three "super stars" in the Dor- chester novice tournament,, Saturday, and came home' without a victory in their two outings. In the first game against Belmont, the local kids couldn't contain two big, free-wheeling defencemen who scored five goals between them in a 6-1 margin. The two played the entire game and made several solo dashes to dent the twine behind Jim Lewis in the Exeter nets. None of the teams in the tournament could contain the pair as they paced Belmont to the championship. Brett Batten scored Exeter's only goal in the second period when he won a faceoff in the Belmont end and flipped the puck into an open corner. Sean Whiteford played a steady game on the Exeter defence and managed to stop the Belmont stars on several occasions. In the second game, the Exeter. crew faced Smithville and again had to contend with another stick- handling wizzard who potted three of his team's goals in a 4-0 win. One of the goals was a.penalty shot which was called after an Exeter player had grabbed a loose puck in the goal crease. Jim Lewis almost had the effort stopped, but couldn't get his stick down soon enough to cover the puck. This year's version of the Waxers have not competed in league play and the tournament was only their fifth outing of the year. Members of the local team were: Jim Lewis, Sean Whiteford, Dave Russell, Brett Batten, Terry Zachar, Trevor Blue, Steve Pym, Steve McIntyre, Brian Quinn and Todd Lewis. In an exhibition contest at Huron Park, Friday, Exeter skated to a 1-0 win over Lucan in a warm-up for the tournament. Terry Zachar scored the only Exeter goal in the contest. The locals held an edge in the play, but had difficulty beating Jeff Gwalchmai and Doug Haskett in the Lucan nets, Figure skaters complete tests The Exeter Figure Skating Club held a C.F.S.A. test day Thursday at the Huron Park Arena.

Through the hard work of president Max Dawson, dinner chairman Doug Ellison and all members of the Lions club the 1977 dinner drew the largest attendance in its history and also provided the best lineup of speakers. Headline speaker Tom Bell had the happy faculty of mixing humour with a lot of thought provoking statements. Bell, who is a practicing attorney in Lexington, Kentucky is concerned with the state of the economy in the United States and Canada and presented several ideas, He started by saying things would improve if everyone gave a good day's work for a good day's pay. He called for a return to respect for law and order and respect for God. In a Tuesday afternoon press conference Bell said he had the honour of working two of the greatest football games ever played. These included the 1967 Super Bowl with Green Bay downing Dallas 34-27 and the playoff game this past season between Oakland and Pittsburgh. Bell suggested that instant replays would never be used in professional football, He offered two sensible reasons. The first being that it would take about 40 cameras to get the right angle and secondly and probably most important it would take the human element out of the game. He cited one instance where it appeared one of his um- pires made a bad call according to the replay, but a look at the league game films later in the week proved that he was right. On the same play, the films showed one player guilty of clipping but the officials failed to call it. More than 20 years ago Ray Dumont of the American Baseball Congress was toying with the idea of replacing the plate umpire with an electric eye and an automatic plate sweeper. These gadgets may be just as competent or more so than human umpires but it wouldn't be much fun for the fans to jeer at something they actually couldn't see. Again the human element would be removed. Bell said all NFL officials received tremendous back- ing from commissioner Pete Rozelle. He added, "Rozelle backs us 1,000 percent in dealing out fines and suspen- sions," The ability of an official to keep up with the play is the most important requisite. Bell commented, "We have to be on top of the play in one second in order to call it properly." Bell's first comment after being introduced was, "How fortunate I am to be here with all these celebrities. I'm the only one I never heard of before." News of Jade Prince One of the guest speakers at the head table was Canada's top harness race driver Jack Kopas. He now makes his home in Ilderton and uses the Western Fair track to train about 40 horses with the help of his son. During 1976 Kopas drove Jade Prince to a world's record for any age horse in the time of one minute, 54 and one-fifth of a second. This feat was achieved on a mile track at Lexington, Kentucky. Kopas told us he has Jade Prince staked in most of the top races in North America for this coming racing season. Jade Prince started 21 times as a two year old and was first across the finish line on nine occasions and took home earnings of $106,000. He expects to start serious training with Jade Prince in early May. The 1976 season will include December in California. The biggest purse Kopas ever raced for was $100,000 with Super Wave who won a mile and a half race and finish- ed second in a mile and a quarter test, Super Wave is now standing at stud at the Russ Miller farm at Dutton. Asked what difference a driver makes in a race, Kopas commented, "A good horse can make a mediocre driver look good and vica versa. It boils down to a matter of timing and sometimes you get lucky. Tiger tales Gates Brown represented the Detroit Tigers at the Sportsmen's dinner and indicated the Tigers were a pitcher and a second baseman from being respectable. Brown said he felt Tiger management was amiss in go- ing too long with a bunch of veterans instead of bringing up a crop of youngsters. • Brown admitted he was one of the older players that were kept around too long. He said the 1977 season will be a big improvement if the three players injured last year recover completely. They are catcher Milt May, shortstop Tom Veryzer and centre fielder Ron LeFlore, Asked about the 1977 prospects for the Tiger pitching sensation Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, Brown ,replied, "That's a tough question. How do you follow a 19 game win year? He has the right attitude and confidence so we hope he has another winning year." More on football Football was probably the best represented sport at the dinner, In addition to referee Bell there were Tony Gabriel, Glen Weir, Don Bowman and Darwin Semotiuk. Don Bowman, a graduate of Laurier high school in Lon- don is optimistic about his chances in his third year with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He said the Winnipeg club was the youngest in the CFL. Training for the Bombers will start June 2, two weeks ealier than normal. Darwin Semotiuk, coach of the University of Western Ontario Mustangs is holding a pre-season clinic in May which will be attended by fellows like Bowman, Weir and Bill Robinson former Mustang now with Ottawa. In his talk Semotiuk said he was concerned about the publicity received by Canadian born players in the CFL. He continued, "It's time for our media to recognize Canadians. All points in the 1976 Grey Cup game were scored by native Canadians, Semotiuk said Ontario's Attorney General Roy McMur- try had the same concern, "it's now time for the CFL to accept its responsibility in developing intercollegiate foot- ball."
