The Exeter Hawks started
working themselves out of a hole
Sunday night when they scored a
6-2 verdict over Mr. Brydges in
Zurich.
It was a "must" game for the
Hawks, who dropped their first
two games to the Cougars in the
league's best-of-seven semi-final
series. Mt. Brydges won the
opener in Zurich a week ago and
then came up with a 4-3 margin
on their home ice, Saturday, to
put the Hawks into the hole,
Coach Ron Bogart said he
and the players were at a loss to
explain the first two defeats to
the fifth place Cougars. They held
a team meeting after Saturday's
contest in an effort to come up
with some solutions to their
predicament.
"We've been outplaying
them," he said, "but not out-
scoring them."
Bogart said the only problem
area appeared to be in the
number of penalties being picked
up by the Hawks. This has
allowed Mt. Brydges several
power play opportunities and
with the league's top scoring line
on the ice, it has been costly.
The same situation prevailed in
the opening game of Sunday's
contest when the Hawks opened
an early 2-0 lead and then wat-
ched Mt. Brydges ceme back
with two power play goals in the
final three minutes to even the
count.
However, the league champs
scored three unanswered goals
in the middle frame and a single
in the final 20 minutes to'cap the
win.
The Hawks took seven of eight
penalties called in the first
period, and appeared to be
sealing their own fate with the
penalty parade.
However, they regained their
"cool" in the final two periods
and took five less penalties than
Mt. Brydges and scored their
final two goals on power plays to
whittle the Mt. Brydges lead to 2-
1 in the series.
The fourth game will be played
in Mt. Brydges on Saturday and
ttie fifth will be back in Zurich the
following night.
Ken Pinder paced Exeter to
their 6-2 Sunday win with two
goals and two assists.
John VanGerwen, Don
McKellar, Brian Taylor and Phil
Knight scored the singles, Fred
Mommersteeg picked up three
assists, while VanGerwen, Rick
Ingram, Gerald Weido and Steve
Jennison picked up single assists.
A squeaker
Saturday's contest in Mt,
Brydges was a heavy hitting,
close contest with the hosts
scoring the eventual winner on a
power play mid-way through the
Exeter's Atom 2 squad bowed
out of OMHA playoffs when they
suffered two straight defeats at
the hands of Parkhill in the zone
quarter-finals over the weekend.
Parkhill captured both tilts by
identical scores of 4-1.
In Huron Park, Friday,
Pee weer get
'exhibition draw
Scott Batten's goal with less
than a minute remaining in the
game gave Exeter Pee Wees a 2-2
tie with Goderich in an exhibition
contest played at Vanastra,
Sunday.
Mike Murray and Steve Riddell
worked the puck into the
Goderich end with the clock
running out and the netminder
came up with a save on Murray's
hard shot, but he couldn't
smother the rebound and Batten
tucked it under him to score the
equalizer.
Goderich jumped into an early
2-0 lead in the contest and held it
most' of the way befere Bill
Glover scored Exeter's first goal
when he picked the top corner on
a shot from the side of the net.
On Saturday, the locals
thumped Hensall by a 14-2 count
in an exhibition contest as part of
Hensall's minor hockey day.
All of the Exeter crew figured
in the scoring in the one-sided tilt.
Exeter players put up a strong
protest to the referees who had
apparently missed seeing the
incident. Johnson will be under
suspension until the OHA hand
down a decision regarding the
situation.
The teams traded single goals
in each of the first two periods to
enter the final 20 minutes with a
2-2 tie.
Mt. Brydges scored in the early
seconds and again near the
midway mark to open a two goal
spread, and while the Hawks
scored at the 18:55 marl, they
couldn't get the equalizer.
John VanGerwen, Gerald
Weido and Rick Ingram scored
the Hawks tallies, with assists
going to Ken Pinder, Ingram,

final period. It was their second
goal of the game with the Hawks
shorthanded. Exeter picked up 22
penalties in the contest to keep
themselves in trouble throughout
most of the contest,
They lost Matt Muller with a
game misconduct in the second
period and Steve Jennison had to
retire in the first after taking a
butt end near his eye that opened
up a deep gash.
Mark Johnson was given a
match penalty for the infraction,

Parkhill jumped into an early 2-0
lead, but Exeter narrowed the
gap to 2-1 at the end of the second
when Steve Gould fired a shot
into the corner after being set up
on a play started by Brett Batten
and Bill Fisher.
Parkhill opened another two-
goal lead at the 4:43 mark of the
final period and then scored an
insurance tally on a power play
two minutes later.
In the Saturday return game at
Parkhill, the hosts took a 3-0 lead
before Exeter found the scoring
range when Allan Pym lifted a
high shot from the point into the
-net. He had blocked a clearing
'`shot to get the puck.
The locals tried in vain to
narrow the gap further and
Parkhill finally scored an in-
surance marker with less than
four minutes to go in the game to
record the win and send them into
the zone semi-finals'.
One of Parkhill's four goals on
Saturday came on a penalty shot,
called after the referees ruled
that an Exeter defender had
tossed his stick at a puck.

Signs of spring
Despite the continued wintry weather throughout the
area there are a couple of signs of spring which should give
even the most pessimistic a little hope for better things to
come.
Minor hockey playoffs are well underway with the
number of local teams still in the running diminishing each
week and the Blue Jays are ready to chirp across Ontario.
Two Exeter clubs appear to have excellent chances to
extend the hockey season by a considerable time. Despite
two early losses in the first round of playoffs the Exeter
Hawks should have a good chance at the Ontario Junior
"D" championship.
The Hawks bounced back from two defeats at the hands
of Mt. Brydges to win Sunday night and now are only one
game down in the best-of-seven semi-final series.
Hawks manager Fred Mommersteeg continues to be
optimistic about his team's chances and after Sunday's
much needed victory feels they will reach the league final
and then advance to the OHA semi-finals against the winner
of the division in the Haliburton-Bancroft area.
In a similar vein the Exeter Kinsmen midgets appear to
be headed in the right direction as far as a provincial cham-
pionship is concerned.
Three or four of the midgets gained valuable ex-
perience in the early part of the season with the juniors and
this should payoff as the playoff trail gets a little tougher.
Best of luck to these two teams as they continue in
playoff contention. Would be nice to have two Ontario
champs in town and that is certainly far from being wishful
thinking.
Blue Jay chirps
Professional baseball spring training is now in full sw-
ing and the Toronto Blue Jays are getting plenty of atten-
tion all through Ontario.
A lot of the loyalty directed to the Detroit Tigers from
this area for many years may switch to the Blue Jays. It
will certainly make for a good rivalry in Western Ontario.
This week the Blue Jays added Early Wynn to their
radio broadcast crew to do the fill-in commentary for play-
by-play announcer Tom Cheek,
Wynn gained his fame in the big leagues mostly with
the Cleveland Indians and should provide the necessary
background information to make the radio broadcast in-
teresting.
Most of the Blue Jays games will be aired on CFPL
radio starting with the opening game on April 7. The Detroit
Tigers will be the second visitors at CNE Stadium for a four
game series on April 11, 12, 13 and 14. All are daytime
games and the chances of Mark "The Bird" Fidrych
appearing in one of the games should be excellent.
Manager Roy Hartsfield of the Toronto club is trying to
put together a strong team as far as basics of the game are
concerned. He has hired former Boston Red Sox batting
star Bobby Doerr to help the hitters.
Doerr will have his hands full in this department and
lots of opportunity to improve a lot of hitters. The Blue Jays
have some good established fielding players but rather
weak at the bat,
These include Pedro Garcia a good glove at second but
only a .204 hitter with the Tigers; catcher Alan Ashby .239
at Cleveland; shortstop Jim Mason, .180 with the Yankees
and another Indian John Lowenstein at .205.
Doerr will be stressing the value of developing a good
level swing and concentration while at the plate. He is well
qualified as a tutor.
In 14 years with the Red Sox from 1937 through 1951
Doerr compiled a batting average of .288. Three times he
batted over .300 and six times drove in more than 100 runs.
Doerr's philosophy goes as follows: I feel that every
time at bat, you usually get one good pitch to hit. If you
don't hit that pitch, you have lost a good chance."
The Blue Jays batting coach continued, "It's important
to develop a good level swing and get on top of the pitch.
The result is hitting the ball harder to the infield. This will
be especially important becuse we have artificial turf in
Toronto and if you hit the ball a little harder it has more
chance of getting through."
Jets starting to fly
The playoffs in the Ontario Hockey Association Con-
tinental Senior "A" league should be very interesting and
also highly competitive if scores of the last couple of weeks
are any indication.
The London Kings with a substantial lead a couple of
weeks ago have floundered and it appears as if the Stratford
Perths will finish first with London second and the Lucan-
Ilderton Jets and Preston Jets battling for third place.
The team finishing on top can select any of the other
five teams for first round playoffs and the second team also
can pick with the remaining two teams to meet.
The L-I Jets came up with a strong performance Sun-
day and will be heard from in the playoffs. They bombed the
London Kings 10-4, Sunday.
Top notch curling
The annual cash curling bonspiel sponsored by
Dashwood Industries will be held at the Exeter curling club
Saturday and it promises to provide an excellent brand of
curling.
Gerry Finnen of the Window manufacturing firm
reports that $750 in prizes are up for grabs with $260 going
to the winning rink,
Last year's winner Ken Buchan of the Ivanhoe club in
London will be back to defend his title and he will be faced
with plenty of stiff opposition.
Wayne Steski and his Guelph rink, winners of Consul
division 14 will be here along with Cam Bogie of Goderich.
Also competing will be four rinks from the Exeter club.
The local representatives will be the top four teams in
the challenge competition at the Exeter club and they are
being decided this week.
Spectators are welcome to drop in anytime Saturday.
The first draw begins at 9 a,m, and there will be continuous
curling through the rest of the day into the early evening,
