Jets general manager Don Urbshott echoed the sen- timets of his new coach saying, “We will definitely have a better team than last year.” The Jets suffered through the worst season in their history winning only a half dozen games in 35 played. Loveless who played with the Jets for five years spent the last two years as an assistant coach with the Jets for the 1976-77 season and last season with the London Kings. He replaces Jack Chip­ chase who held the L-I coaching job for one year. Chipchase was unable to return because of em­ ployment commitments. Urbshott and Loveless are already on the lookout for new players. Loveless said we need a top notch goal tender, two strong defen­ cemen and three forwards that can put the puck in the net. On the club’s performance last year, Loveless com­ mented, “They lost Rick Fifield, Randy Roth and Bill Bannerman last year. They accounted for 75 goals the year before. You can’t lose players of that calibre and continue to win without capable replacements.” Annual Meeting EXETER MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION Thurs., June 8 7:30 p.m. SOUTH HURON REC CENTRE All interested people are urged to attend to review the past season, elect of­ ficers and make plans for next season.

Loveless is known to consume large quantities of popcorn during the game. The concluding comment from Loveless was, “I will be asking for a total com­ mitment from my players.

The Dashwood" Tigers scored a decisive victory in their only start this week in the Huron-Perth in­ termediate baseball league. On their home field Friday night the Tigers downed the London Rae J juniors by a score of 11-12. The pitching arm of Jim Guenther and the hot bat of John Hayter allowed Glen Thurman’s club to chalk up its1 third win of the young season. Guenther went the full distance on the mound for Dashwood. He allowed only five well scattered hits and struck out an even dozen opposition batters. At the plate John Hayter collected three hits, in­ cluding two long blasts over the left field fence. He picked up four runs batted in. The Tigers wasted little time getting on' the scoreboard with three runs in their first trip to the plate. Bob Hoffman reached first on a walk, John Hayter followed with a single and both scored on Jim Guen­ ther’s drive over the centre field fence. In the Dashwood third, Bob Hoffman again started the rally. This time he was safe on an error and John Hayter quickly sent him across the plate with the first of his two home run shots. The fifth inning scoring for Dashwood was a repeat of the third frame. Bob Hoff­ man slapped out a single and John Hayter came through with his second straight round tripper, again over the left field barrier. Two more Tiger tallies were chalked up in the sixth as Barry Baynham singled stole second moved to third on Bob Hoffman’s third hit of the game and both scored as John Hayter was safe on a London fielding miscue. Noel Skinner’s single sent Perry Stover and Doug Fairbairn home with the final two Dashwood scores in the bottom of the seventh. Stover had singled and Fairbairn drew a walk. The only action for the Tigers this week will be Saturday and Sunday when they will be in Tillsonburg competing in a tournament.
