The hosts dominated play in the second period and only some brilliant net minding by Roger O'Brien kept the score as close as it was. Second game in the best-of-five affair is scheduled for Huron Park this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. and the third game is back in Listowel on Saturday at the same hour. Fourth game will be in Huron Park on Monday at 8:30. Listowel opened the scoring at the 5:08 mark of the first period in the opener, but Exeter came back with two quick goals within 13 seconds. Randy Fisher found the corner on a blistering slapshot on a power play set up by Dennis Preszcator and Dave Bogart and then Paul Pooley caught Listowel on a line change to race in un- molested from centre ice to blink the light. Lis towel knotted the count at 2- 2 later in the first period and Exeter opened the scoring in the second when Pooley scored his second after he took a pass from Ron Bilcke while they were playing short handed. Atoms bow in Brampton Exeters entry in the annual Atom tournament at Brampton failed to survive the first round. The locals were pitted against Unionville in a two-game total goals affair on Saturday and couldn't match strides with the big, fast skating squad who have only been beaten three times this year. Unionville scored a 7-1 margin in the opener and then came back with a 6-0 win on Saturday night to take the series by a convincing 13-1 margin. Exeter's only tally in the opener came off the stick of Steve Laithwaite, with the assist going to Allan Pym. Despite the big scores, Dave Rook gave Exeter some good goal tending in the two contests. He allowed only one goal over the first two periods in the second contest as his mates came up with their best play. However, they ran out of steam in the final session and provided little protection for Jim Lewis cwhd-' Hashed. up betweeh 'the pipes. The Exeter lads were billetted out with Brampton residents for Saturday night while their parents stayed at the Airport Holiday Inn. Most of the con- tingent returned home on Sunday while some stayed for another day's holiday. Listowel then took control of the game with three straight tallies in the second frame and one early in the third to post a 6-3 lead. Randy Parsons scored at the 12:32 mark of the final period to raise the Exeter hopes, but they were quickly squashed when the home crew scored half a minute later to keep their three-goal margin. The final Listowel goal was scored against Steve Wells, who came on in relief of O'Brien when the latter was shaken up on a Listowel ganging attack. Exeter picked up eight of the 15 penalties called and the players and fans were continually dismayed at the inconsistent officiating. On One Listowel goal, Exeter defenceman Randy Fisher was tripped as he moved in on the puck carrier and the ,officials failed to call the in- fraction. After the game, coaches Ray Brooks and Jim Pfaff noted that their crew would certainly have to skate much better if they hoped to get back in the series this Friday night. They were continually beaten to the puck by Listowel and the defence were having trouble stopping the fleet-footed hosts. Rod Sachs in the Listowel net displayed an extraordinarily quick glove hand to thwart several local shooters.

With only 28 seconds left in regulation time Rick Fifield's shot from the point found the mark with assists going to Brian Murphy and Terry Johnston to tie the score and set up overtime, High scoring The emphasis was on offence Sunday night at the London Gardens as the London Kings came on strong late in the third period to down the Jets 9-6.

No other car at any size. Or at any price. And that's the truth. Start with performance and mileage: The Rabbit can zoom from a standing start to 50 miles an hour in an astonishing 7.7 seconds. Yet incredibly, it can also deliver 45.2 miles per gallon on the highway and a stingy 30 mpg in the city.* (A combination unmatched by anyone, anywhere.) Then there's its size; The Rabbit is a big car. Not outside (it narks in almost no space), but inside. It seats four adults very com- fortably with as much legroom and headroom as many "mid-sized" cars. It has five doors, including a rear hatchback. It has about the :.,..same glass area as a Lincoln Continental Mark V With the rear seat fold*, Ici,)wr), it has more luggage space than a Cadillac Fleetwood. Safety? Front-wheel drive gives you better tracking. Rack-and- pinion steering gives you precise ',handling. If one brake circuit fails, a second one is still there. A , totally new rear axle makes the car more stable on rough roads. The pas- senger compartment is a unitized "safety cell". There are reinforced steel side beams in the door, Eventhe rear window defrosts electrically. If you still find it a little hard to believe that one car can have all of this, and do all of this, drop into your nearest Volkswagen dealership and taken VW Rabbit out for a test drive. You'll discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
