For the Exeter Lions club a full house at the South Huron.Rec Centre for the February 7 Sportsmen's dinner. To the Lucan-Il derton Jets we hope Santa has a few vic- tories in his bag after a losing streak which is the longest in the team's history. To the bowlers at Aub Farquhar's emporium a 450 game or two in the new year. The same type of wish for some eight enders at the Ex- eter curling rink and 180 scores in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league. For the Toronto Argonauts at least a playoff position in the Canadian Football league next year. Twenty victories and 30 pick-offs for southpaw Jerry Garvin of the Toronto Blue Jays, A Norris trophy win by Borje Salming of the Toronto Maple Leafs. A new offensive formation for Leo Cahill of,the Argos so he can use two quarterbacks at the same time. A can of stickum for Chuck Ealey of the Hamilton Tiger Cats. A trade to bring Fergie Jenkins to the Blue Jays from the Texas Rangers. To Harold Ballard a trade for a 50 goal scorer and future considerations being the number one draft choice in Wayne Gretzky's graduation year. The 1979 Super Bowl championship for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A truce between baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn and Charlie Finley of the Oakland Athletics. A tape measure for Jim Guenther of the Dashwood Tigers to measure a certain home run hit in 1977 at the Crediton ball park. For Derry Boyle and Wally Burton a crystal ball to assist in their selection of Hawk of the month. For Harold Ballard more economic minded players like Darryl Sittler and Lanny MacDonald when it comes to con- tract signing time. For Eddie Shack a proper protector for his million dollar nose. A Schenley award in 1978 for Glenn Weir of the Montreal Alouettes, Youth revitalization pills for boxers George Chuvalo and Mohammed Ali. The same medicinal help for those over 35 years of age hockey players at the South Huron Rec Centre each Sunday morning.

The game continued in that pattern as Paul Mellecke scored twice for Exeter and each time Oliver came back to even the count. Grand Bend then jumped into a 4-3 lead on a goal by Todd Nelder, and this set the stage for Bryan Quinn's game-tying marker. There were no penalties in the exciting tilt, In Saturday's visit to Parkhill, goalie Fred Gregus was the busiest man on the ice as he kept the Waxers in the contest with some key stops as Parkhill dominated play. The home crew took a 2-0 lead on goals by Jerry Lamport, while Bryan Quinn picked up Exeter's lone tally. He was dumped on a breakaway, but the puck slid into the net with him.
