DFZ411 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, Weido and Brian Taylor, '1/4*atwasoomm••••••awas e....sremmJ 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.

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.

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,
