The two teams were tied during the regular tournament held several weeks ago. Back, left, Bill Windsor, Brent I The best news this week for Lucan-Ilderton Jets manager Don Urbshott is the fact his team didn't lose a game. Actually, they didn't play. The only game scheduled for the Jets was Friday against the Stratford Perths and it was postponed because of the stormy weather. This week the Jets will be in action on three occasions. Friday night they travel to Petrolia to meet the unbeaten league leading Squires. Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. the Jets will be at home at the Ilderton arena to the Preston Jesters and Wednesday night at 8.15 p.m. they will play host to the Durham Huskies, The Petrolia club won their 17th straight game over the weekend to eclipse the previous mark of 16 set by the Lucan- Ilderton Jets during the 1972-73 season. On the Petrolia feat, Urbshott commented, "Records are made to be broken." Start Too Late The Exeter midgets played only one period of good hockey in their exhibition test with Byron, Sunday, and couldn't overcome the visitors' lead as they lost by a 4-3 count. Byron scored twice in each of the first two periods and ap- peared to be walking away with Jets contest cancelled The weekend blizzard/played havoc with the schedule of Exeter minor hockey teams this week, cancelling all but three games. In those contests, the bantams and atoms picked up wins in Shamrock play against ,Lucan, while the local midgets were nipped by Byron in exhibition play. After trading early goals with Lucan in the first period at the. rec centre, Sunday, the atoms skated away to a 6-1 margin. George Pratt and Steve Gould paced the scoring attack with a pair of tallies each, while single markers were recorded by Scott Lovie and Sean Whiteford. Picking up assists in the con- test were Bill Fisher, Jeff Pfaff, Allan Pym and Brett Batten. Brad Scott scored for Lucan, the tilt until the locals caught fire in the final stanza. Preston Dearing got them on the scoreboard at the 6:07 mark on a play with Dave Bogart and Dearing then came back with his second marker two minutes later with the assists going to Dan Bell and Brian Mercer. Bell then cut the lead to one goal with less than four minutes HOUSELEAGUE REPEATS The weekend blizzard curtailed play in the Exeter minor hockey houseleague this week, Several players were unable to attend. In view of that situation, last week's schedule will be repeated this Saturday morning. Northlander (1) will meet Discount Dave's in the 9:00 a.m. opener and Taylor Motors (3) will face AVCO (2) in the 10:30 con- test. Exeter's annual novice hockey tournament is expected to be one of the most interesting in its eight-year history when it gets underway on December 26. A total of 20 teams have entered, the largest number ever. Included this year for the first time is an "AA" division, featur- ing Oakridge Acres, Southwest London, Burlington and Galt. The "A" division teams con- sist of St. Marys, Goderich, Hanover, Walkerton, Listowel, Elmira, Strathroy and Tillson- burg, The Exeter Waxers will com- pete in the "B" division, along with Kincardine, Parkhill, Sar- • nia Indian Reserve, Waterford, Mitchell, Lambeth and Seaforth. There will be 13 games on the opening day and another 12 on December 27. The event is sporisored by the Exeter Minor Hockey Asocia- tion.

The Exeter Lions club is again sponsoring the popular event and all proceeds will go to aid crippled children. Dinner chairman Doug Ellison and his hard working ,committee have lined up a good array of celebrities for the dinner to be held Tuesday, February 7 at the South Huron Rec Centre. Orie of the most important persons at this type of dinner is the master of ceremonies and this year's introducer of guests will do an excellent job. He is Bill Brady of CFPL radio in London and Bill's ability to react to any situation on his Open Line show should fit in with his master of ceremonies job. For the first four Sportsmen's dinners, the MC jobs Were handled very capably by the late Tory Gregg, Bruce Murray, Tuffy Knight and Lee Paul. Headlining the guest speakers will be Normie Kwong who gained the nickname, "The China Clipper" when he was a football star with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The only celebrity to be making his fifth straight appearance at the Exeter dinner will be Glenn Weir of Mon- treal Alouettes. Weir, who was named the top defensive play in the 1977 Grey Cup has the reputation of having the best appetite in Western Ontario. Joining Glenn from CFL football will be former Toron- to Argonaut Bill Symons, who will be here for the second time. Attempts are still being made to secure one of the veteran performers in the National football league, Quarterback Craig Morton of the Denver Broncos. Also, coach Leo Cahill of the Toronto Argos is still a distinct possibility. Another performer in the recent Grey Cup could be here if his wife has enough influence. Canada's Olympic decathalon star Dianne Jones Konihowski will be a head table guest and husband John of the Edmonton Eskimos could tag along. The game of baseball should be well represented. The Detroit Tigers will be sending their speedy centre fielder Ron LeFlore and two members of the Toronto Blue Jays will also be in attendance. One of the most knowledgeable men in the hockey broadcasting business will be here. He is the colour com- mentator on Hockey Night in Canada, Brian McFarlane. The second hockey guest will be former Detroit Red Wing Larry Jeffrey. All in all it looks like a good lineup for February 7. Order your tickets now from any member of the Exeter Lions club. They remain at $25 for adults with a special stu- dent price of $15. Receipts will be issued for income tax purposes. Exciting Hockey In The Offing The old cliche, "bigger and better than ever"seems to get a lot of usage, but it really applies to the upcoming Ex- eter novice tournament. In order to qualify as bigger and better, the tourney has been expanded to take 20 teams and a higher classification has been added.' It is sponsored by the Exeter Minor ,Hockey Association and will be held at the South Huron Rec Centre on Monday and Tuesday, December 26 and 27. A total of 25 games will be played. For the first time an "AA" grouping has been added and the participating clubs will be from Southwest London, Burlington, Galt and Oakridge Acres. Comprising the "A" division will be Goderich, St. Marys, Walkerton, Hanover, Elmira, Listowel, Tillsonburg and Strathroy. In the "B" section along with the Exeter Waxers will be Parkhill, Kincardine, Waterford, Sarnia Indian Reserve, Lambeth, Mitchell and Seaforth. More From The Continental The Petrolia Squires have broken the OHA Continental senior league record by winning 17 straight games. The old mark of 16 was held by the Lucan-Ilderton Jets. Petrolia, the newest team in the league started the season with a win and they haven't stopped. The Squires took further steps to ensure an excellent club by signing goalie Al Sarachman who was recently cut from the Central hockey league, Petrolia is the only team in the league with three brothers on the roster. They are Dan, Dave and Dale Wilson. To add to the confusion is a cousin Roll Wilson. League statistician Nick Martin reports this week that over the years 20 brother combinations have performed in the Continental, but, this is the first time for three on one club. Martin also reveals a rumour rampant in the past few days that Chatham will become the eighth team in the league for the 1978-79 season. Top University Performer One of the most prominent players with this year's var- sity hockey team at the University of Pennsylvania is Geoff Roeszler. Jeff, who is the son of Grant and Doreen Roeszler, formerly of Crediton recently tied a school record for defencemen by scoring one goal and adding three assists during a 6-5 loss to Harvard. He played his minor hockey with Southwest London and Junior "B" with the Windsor Royals and Chatham Fords, His parents now reside in Chatham.

' T-A photo remaining on a play with Doug Brooks and Dearing, but the locals couldn't get the equalizer although they maintained the pressure until the final whistle. Easy victory The Exeter bantams romped to an easy 9-0 win over Lucan in their lone outing of the week. Lucan held the locals off the scoreboard in the first period, but they started finding the range in the second and third, scoring one goal while they were two men short. Rick Lindenfield paced the attack with a four-goal per- formance, while Dave Bell added three. The single tallies came off the sticks of Ed Willis and Dave Shaw, Bill Glover had three assists to lead in that department, while Kevin Parsons had a pair. Helping_ on one goal each were Mike Murray, Pete Tuckey, Wayne Smith,Shaw and Bell. : $11:995 . 5 DOUG PARKER for the smoothest, driest smoke acs rY.
