Port Stanley here Sunday
Hawks meet Lucan Irish, Friday
Fans to choose
The starting line-up in one of the most exciting
hockey spectacles in the history of the game will be
decided by the fans.
From early October 1978 until mid-January 1979,
hockey buffs across Canada and the United States
will, for the first time, become more than armchair
selectors as they participate in a ballot to choose the
starting line-up for the National Hockey League all-
star team to meet the Soviets in a three-game series
The series, described by Alan Eagleson, Ex
ecutive Director of the National Hockey League
Players’ Association as: “a true test of world hockey
supremacy”, is considered so important that the nor
mal league schedule will be closed down for the week
the games are played in New York, February 8,10 and
11.
The balloting has been made possible by Wilkinson
Sword Canada who, in co-operation with the NHL and
NHLPA, will be distributing millions of ballots
through all NHL arenas and thousands of super
markets and retail stores wherever Wilkinson
products are sold.
Fans may vote and change their minds as often as
they wish.
Each ballot will carry the names of 80 NHL
players who have been nominated by a special panel of
the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association. The
players will be listed alphabetically and by position.
There will also be space for write-in nominees,
like Bobby Orr, who is back on the ice this fall.
Each NHL team will be represented in the ballot
by a minimum of two players.
The ballots will be counted by an independent
tabulation house and up-to-date results will be releas
ed regularly beginning early November.
An additional bonus for voting fans will be a 50
cent cash refund coupon with each ballot, against
Wilkinson II shaving products.-
When the fans have picked the starting line, the
remainder of the players will be chosen by the team
manager, and/or the coaches of the NHL all-star
team.
The NHL-Soviet series will replace the traditional
all-star games between the Prince of Wales and
Clarence Campbell conferences.
New show for ladies
Look for a new television series this fall. It will be
known as Woman Outdoors. The half hour shows will •
feature women engaged in various outdoor activities (
such as fly fishing, sky diving and nature photography.
Outdoor writer and broadcaster Doreen Fawcett
is host of the series which will be seen on stations in
Canada and the United States.
Among the special guests will be Sheila Link of
New Jersey, a consultant to the National Rifle
Association and a crack shot with rifle and bow and
arrow.
Liz Mendes from Minnesota, formerly with
Evinrude Motors will discuss care and handling of out
board motors and Pat Judges an Ontario racing pilot
who placed fourth in the 1978 Angel Derby will show
how she flies for fun and profit.
Quotes
Bob Griese on Ron Jaworski of the Eagles having
the best arm in the National Football League, “He
could pass a football through a car wash and it
wouldn’t come out wet.”
Houston Oiler coach Bum Phillips after rookie
running back Earl Campbell rushed for 151 yards in an
exhibition game againstDallas,“I think he will survive
the cut.” _ .Free day
Sunday is “meet the players day” when the
Lucan-Ilderton Jets take on the Preston Jesters at 2
p.m. at the Ilderton arena and the price is right.
No admission will be charged to see the game and
fans are invited to stay and meet the players
afterwards in the hall upstairs and enjoy hot dogs and
coffee.

The Exeter Hawks ended
up with a tie and a loss in two
exhibition titles at the rec
centre this weekend as they
prepared for the season
opener.
They’ll start defense of their
group championship on
Friday night against the
Lucan Irish, with game time
at 8:00 p.m. in the rec centre.
Sundayevening, they’ll host
Port Stanley at 7:30.
In their exhibition tilts, the
Hawks picked up a 4-4 tie
with the Wingham Ironmen
on Friday and then dropped
a 6-4 verdict to their
perennial foes from Mitchell
on Sunday afternoon.
In view of the injuries and
doubtful status of some
players that hampered their
pre-season training, coach
Ron Bogart said he was
pleased with the team’s play
on the weekend.
In Friday’s game, they
went without the services of
Phil Knight and Fred
Mommersteeg, while Steve
Jennison missed almost half
the game. That gave them
only 13 skaters.
Wingham jumped into an
early lead, but Jamie
Caldwell knotted the count
with two seconds to go in the
first period when his second
effort paid off. Drawing
assists were Don McKellar
and Dave Bogart.

graduate Dave Atthill.

in
in
to
The lead see-sawed
through the second period as
the teams traded three
tallies each.
Scoring for Exeter were
Dave Kinsman, Don
McKellar and Steve Jen
nison. Jamie Caldwell
helped out on a pair of those,
while drawing single assists
were Bogart, Preston
Dearing and Kerry Bedard.
In Sunday’s game,' Mitchell
scored five goals in less than
four minutes midway
through the middle frame to
overcome a two-goal deficit
and pull out the victory in the
battle between the division
finalists of last season.
One of the tallies came on
a power play, while two were
scored while Exeter enjoyed
a man advantage.
Terry Caldwell and Ken
Varley, two Hensail area
pucksters, gave the Hawks a
• 2-1 lead in the first period,
and Phil Knight added a
single in the second before
Mitchell put on their spree.
Don McKellar picked up
the only goal of the third
period.
Knight added a pair of
assists to his goal, while
Kerry Bedard also drew two
assists. Helping out on one
goal each were Varley, Brad
Taylor, Terry Caldwell and
Fred Mommersteeg.
Steve Beer and Randy
Lovie shared the netminding
duties in each game and
each had five goals scored
against him.
While coach Bogart
experimented with several
combinations over the
weekend, .one of the major
changes local fans may
notice this year is a switch
between Ken Pinder and
Steve Jennison.
Pinder has moved back to
defense, while Jennison was
working at centre. Playing
defensive positions are three
other club veterans, Phil
Knight, Ron Bilcke and Dave ____________________________________________
