Let's fish
Get out the fishing poles, kids.
The Exeter claybird gun club is giving area youngsters
a chance to show their angling skills during an upcoming
fishing derby.
The derby will be held at Morrison. Dam on Saturday,
April 30 and any youngsters 14 years of age or under are
eligible to compete.
Registration will begin at 6 a.m. and continue until nine
in the morning. A registration fee of 25 cents will be charg-
ed. Prizes in a number of categories will be presented at
four in the afternoon.
The club is also holding a trophy shoot at the club
grounds in Hay township, just north of the Exeter Cemetery
on Saturday, May 7. The same night a dance is being held at
the Dashwood Community Centre with "The Southern Com-
fort" providing the music.
The club executive is to be congratulated in their ef-
forts to provide good shooting, sportsmanship and conser-
vation. They are presently trying to set up programs to
raise pheasants in the surrounding townships.
The next regular meeting of the club at South Huron
District High School on May 9 is expected to include a
speaker from the Canadian Wildlife Service.
Lots of soccer
The response to the minor soccer registration sessions
in Exeter and Lucan Saturday were very encouraging.
Anyone wishing to join up in either program will have
another chance this Saturday morning again.
In Exeter the sign-up location is room 116 at SHDHS
and in Lucan it's at the fire hall.
While on the subject of soccer, Dave Silcock passes on
the information that he will be coaching a minor team in the
Sarnia operated Southwestern Ontario pee wee soccer
League.
The home games of the area team will be played in
Grand Bend and the team will act as a base for a Huron-
Lambton County all star team which will be formed later in
the season for North American competition.
Any boys between the ages of 11 and 15 who are in-
terested in playing top competitive minor soccer are asked
to contact Ed Mommersteeg at 238-2797 or Dave Silcock at
235-2193.
High school sports week
Next week is to be celebrated as High School Sports
Week across Canada and athletes from South Huron
District High School will be participating.
About 20 students from South Huron will be taking part
in a Cross Canada run. Doug Ellison of the local school tells
us most secondary schools across our country will be part
of the run which will carry a baton -from the west to east
coast.
Member schools in WOSSA are responsible for carrying
the baton from Sarnia to Kitchener.
The Western Ontario run will begin Monday morning in
Sarnia and head up through Parkhill to Elginfield where the
South Huron runners will take over and carry on to St.
Marys. The Sarnia to Ottawa portion of the run should be
completed by the end of the week.
Students will be obtaining pledges and these monies
will be used for local high school sporting activities.
Mayors of some municipalities will be on hand to read
high school week sports proclamation in their areas.
Golfers raring to go
Spring should be officially proclaimed this weekend by
many sportsmen and women in this area, Both local golf
courses are expected to be open and we know several
enthusiastic duffers who have been frothing at the bit for
the ground to dry up.
They have been consoled to date by watching the pros in
action on most weekends on television and watching how
easy it is to get out of the rough or a bunker. Seems to us it
may be a little easier to watch than actually pull off some of
those shots which fellows like Jack Nicklaus seem to thrive
on.
Nicklaus continues to amaze his championship perfor-
mances. It takes great determination and concentration to
come back from finishing second in one tourney to win the
next week.
Hockey school gaining in popularity ,
The Huron Hockey School which operates each summer
out of the Huron Park arena has been evaluated by a Toron-
to based magazine as "simply the best hockey school in On-
tario."
Another article elsewhere on these pages will tell more
about the school and increased plans for this summer.
The Huron Hockey School started slowly but has been
increasing each year under the control of dedicated hockey
men and/ teachers like Brian Gilmour, Bill Mahoney and
Ron Mason. These three fellows were in at the beginning
and are still heading up the strong instructional program,
While enrollment by youngsters is necessary for the
success of any school, the repeated use of its facilities by
professional hockey teams has certainly helped the image
of the Huron Hockey School.
Doug Riseborough of the Montreal Canadiens who is
considered by many to be the most improved this year in
the NHL spent two weeks during the last two summers at
Huron Park. Also in last year was Dave "Tiger" Williams
of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Williams' assessment of the school was, "It is nothing
less than great."
Perfect gun club score
Janice Frayne would like to use of the courts and the chance
thank the Recreation Committee , to promote tennis in the Exeter
and Town Council for allowing area.

How
The Exeter Hawks solved the
"mystery" of the Stayner arena
with a 6-3 win Monday night, and
moved to within two games of the
Ontario championship as they
also won the series opener in
Zurich by a convincing 9-3 count,
Sunday.
It is believed to be the first loss
suffered by the Siskins in their
arena this year. The Hawks
hardly knew what to expect in
Stayner as their league cohorts
from Tavistock had suffered two
severe drubbings in the northern
community.
However, coach Ron Bogart
indicated the Hawks may have
felt at home in the Stayner
facility. "It was just like walking
into our old Exeter rink, only
theirs is in worse shape," he
commented.
When asked for a prediction on
the series, Bogart said he could
do no better than quote Stayner
coach Paul Carruthers during
their conversation following
Monday's win.
Carruthers said if the Hawks
continue to play as they have in
the first two games, they should
wrap the series up in four
straight,
Bogart said the Stayner coach
indicated he was having a tough
time keeping his team up for the
finals in view of the fact they
have been involved in them for
the past four years. They won the
title on two of those occasions.
However, Bogart discounted
that to a certain extent and said

Come from behind
Monday night's win in Stayner
was accomplished with another
of the Hawks patented come-
from-behind performances after
they fell behind by a 3-0 margin in
the first period.
However, three straight power
play goals evened the count and
Brian Taylor fired the winner in
the final two minutes of the
middle session,
The Hawks added two in-
surance tallies in the third
period, the final one into an open
net.
Meanwhile, Randy Lovie was
performing his stellar play at the
other end of the rink and blanked
the Siskins over the final 44
minutes of the game.
Ken Pinder started the Hawks
scoring with five minutes left in
the first period when he teamed
up with Fred Mommersteeg and
Tom Hayter on their first power
play attempt.
Steve Jennison, moved up to
centre to replace the injured
Rick Ingram, scored in the first
minute of the second period on
another power play after taking a
pass from Phil Knight.
Knight then evened the score at
3-3 after seven minutes of play
with a solo dash down the ice
while Exeter again enjoyed a
man advantage.
Taylor's winning tally came at
the 18:46 mark as he finished off a
play with Jennison,
The teams battled on scoreless
terms throughout most of the
third period, before Taylor
scored a clincher on an
unassisted effort with four
minutes remaining.
Stayner lifted their goalie for
an extra attacker and after Matt
Muller bounced a shot off the post
and the play went back into the
Exeter end, defenceman Jim
Ferguson scooped up the puck
and skated to centre ice and then
fired it into the open net. Don
McKellar and Knight picked up
assists.
The Hawks out-shot Stayner by
a 38-36 margin.
"We were slow getting started
as usual," commented Bogart,
noting that the Hawks had not
had a full warm-up. They were on
the ice for only five minutes
when the flooding machine was
brought out. They had expected to
be allowed to stay on until about
15 minutes before game time, but
were shunted off a half hour
earlier than that,
Win going away
In Sunday's opener played
before 70Q fans at the Zurich
arena, the Hawks continued to
receive some stellar net minding
from Randy Lovie that enabled
them to keep a slim lead until
they displayed their devastating
