This week the senior Panthers are idle while the juniors travel to Wingham this afternoon, Thursday to meet F.E. Madill, The only point for the SH seniors came late in the game as a punt by Dave Atthill went into the end zone, Coach Ron Bogart commented after the game, "I guess it was a defensive battle: We were for- tunate to be scoreless at half- time. Our offensive attack was very sputtery." Bogart continued, "We were very lucky on a couple of oc- casions that penalties were call- ed on Clinton. We actually played poorly for what I think we can do." Brad Cann was the top ball carrier for the seniors with 41 yards on seven attempts. The Pantt er aerial attack gained a total of 101 yards on nine completions. Dave Atthill completed five passes to Brian Mercer and Dave Bogart hit Randy Parsons for 35 yards and Steve Beer for eight and six yards, respectively. • Clinton rushed for 111 yards and netted 63 yards through the air. The South Huron club did not receive a single penalty while the Clinton club was assessed 50 yards. Juniors start early The junior Panthers wasted lit- tle time getting on the scoreboard as they posted 20 points in the first 15 minutes of play. Quarterback Doug Brooks opened the scoring with a 10 yard Steer This Way By LARRY SNIDER Using too much gas?

Jim Dietrich and Rob Dicl5ey, their season is far from over. The Tigers suffered an 8-2 loss to Whitby in Dashwood Sunday afternoon and were ousted in two straight games. After a layoff of about a month, the Huron-Perth finals will now be continued. The Clinton. Colts who lead the best-of-five series one game to none will be in Dash- w6od Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m, with the third contest in Clinton Wednesday night, In Sunday's OBA Back for H-P title Tigers ousted in OBA play The Whitby win was due mostly to their battery. The pitcher Jim Turner in addition to holding the Tigers to five hits slammed two home runs. His catcher also added another four bagger in the eighth inning. The first Dashwood score came in the bottom of the fourth when John Hayter doubled, moved to third on Glen Thurman's single and home as Jim Guenther's grounder was booted. The final Dashwood score Jim Guenther went the distance on the Dashwood mound and allowed eight hits, four were homeruns. 11111111 lllll 11111111111 lllll lllll 1111 l lllllll wilt! l llll ll I ll See Want to get into a family argument? If so head out to the South Huron Rec Centre and join in on the fall family car rally, Sunday. Members of the Exeter recreation committee are spon- soring the some 60 mile drive over area country roads. Arn Mathers tells us the rally route will be easy to follow. Maybe he should tell that to fellows like Bob Russell who got his vehicle stuck last fall or Ron Bogart who failed to find some of the early checkpoints. The rally will start and finish at the Rec Centre which will allow any participants to easily attend the annual Ex- eter curling club barbecue. All participants in the rally will receive written instruc- tions prior to the start. This is where arguments can begin when family members differ on which turn should be made next. Seriously, a rally is lots of fun. We hope a large number of contestants will turn out. The cost is only two dollars per vehicle. Expect to see you somewhere along the route and hope we are all going in the same and right direction. Organize softball While talking to Aim Mathers about the car rally he told us a minor softball association has been formed in Exeter. The new group hopes to sponsor at least six teams next summer. The categories would include bantam and midget for both boys and girls. Minor ball operated in a rather unofficial way this past summer and the response and enthusiasm shown by the par- ticipating boys and girls prompted formation of the associa- tion. Doug Pearson is the president, Bob Laye is the treasurer and Joanne Wareham will handle the secretarial duties. Mathers said the association hoped to sponsor a number of fund raising projects thereby qualifying for matching grants from Win ta rio . The program was- able to operate this summer with financial help from the Exeter branch of the Royal Cana- dian Legion and proceeds from bottle collections and car washes. Members of one of the girls teams coached by Joyce Morgan and Janice Brock are currently selling cook books to aid the cause. The big problem facing the expansion of minor softball is the lack of playing fields. Last year diamonds were used at Usborne Central and Precious Blood Schools but more are needed. Talks will be held with the board of management of the new rec centre in hopes of establishing more ball diamonds. A slo-pitch league for ladies is also being talked about for next year. We saw a slo-pitch game at Kirkton Sunday and were. , impressed with the game. Kirkton edged a Stratford team 3-1 before losing to a London club in the final: The pitcher must throw the ball to the plate in a high arc. It's quite a knack to have the ball come down in the proximity of the plate. Lots of hockey Anyone looking for a couple of hours of sporting entertainment could do worse than drop over to the Huron Park arena tonight, Thursday. The Lucan-Ilderton Jets and Stratford Perths will be meeting in exhibition play. The game starts at 8 p.m. The Jets split a pair of recent games with. the London Kings and it appears as if new coach Jack Chipchase is moulding together a good club. A number of area junior graduates are trying out with the Jets. These include Ron Funston, Pete Glover, Rick Ingram, Joe O'Rourke and Gerald Weido. Barry Baynham has been a regular with the L-I club for several years and was named captain of the team Monday night by coach Jack Chipchase. The Exeter junior Hawks are continuing with practices and manager Fred Mommersteeg is optimistic of the club's chances of holding on to the Ontario championship they won last spring. The Hawks will be holding practices at the Huron Park arena Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 12 noon. Expensive sport An interesting article appeared in a recent Sporting News issue telling of the cost of attending National football league games in the 28 competing cities. The family package deals includes four tickets, one parking fee, two soft drinks, two beers and four hot dogs. The cheapest deal is available at Atlanta for $40.80 while the most expensive is $56.50 at Washington. At Atlan- ta tickets are $9 each, parking is $1, pop 35 cents, beer 95 cents and hot dogs 60 cents. The Washington charges are tickets at $12, parking at $2, 50 cents for pop, $1.25 for beer and hot dogs at 75 cents. The most expensive parking at $5 is at Pontiac Stadium where the Detroit Lions play their home games. The cheapest game tickets are $8.50 at New Orleans.
