Chance to cheer
For area hockey fans wishing to get some exercise
especially in the vocal department after the big meals
involved with Christmas could do worse than attend
the annual novice hockey tournament at the South
Huron Rec Centre.
The first of 20 games for the eight years of age and
under youngsters will go Boxing Day, December 26 at
8:30 a.m. with the host team, the Exeter Waxers
meeting Parkhill. The Waxers will be right back at it
two hours later taking on Lambeth.
The finals will be played Wednesday, December
27 with the B, A and AA set for 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30
p.m., respectively.
Competing in the AA division are teams from
South London, Oakridge and Galt.
A complete schedule for the tournament appears
elsewhere in this issue.
There is one group of young men from Ontario
who will be concentrating more on hockey than eating
come Christmas Day.
They are members of the Ontario junior all-stars
who will be participating in a practice session at the
London Gardens come Monday morning.
They are one of five teams taking part in the
Labatt International major all star tournament.
The other clubs are from Quebec, Western
Canada, the Canadian Olympic team and the Moscow
Dynamos.
Three of the 13 tourney games will be played at
the London Gardens. They are December 26 — West
against Quebec; December 30 — OH A vs Moscow
Dynamos and the championship game featuring the
two top clubs on January 3. All games in London will
start at 8 p.m.
London Knights representatives on the OHA team
are forwards Bill Carroll and Dean Hopkins.
The OHA coach is Gary Green from the Peter
borough Petes. The Christmas Day practice in London
will be only the third for the OHA team. They play
their first game the following night in Windsor against
the Olympic team.
The other games are divided between Ottawa,
Brantford, Kitchener and Niagara Falls.
4 missing jello
The Toronto Blue Jays should probably get in
touch with Bill Cosby and his cohorts on the Jello ad
for television.
The Blue Jays recently acquired a lemon Jello.
Well, that’s pretty close. The Toronto club got a new
pitcher by the name of Mark Lemongello but they
have been unable to get in touch with him.
Lemongello was apparently less than enthusiastic
about taking his pitching talents north of the border
and has been unavailable when Blue Jays general
manager Pat Gillett and pitching coach Bob Miller
tried to get in touch with him.
We certainly hope Lemongello changes his mind
and decides to join the Blue Jays. His presence may
make up a little for the loss of Victor Cruz.
The Blue Jays front office has had very little
success in convincing the Toronto press and fans that
they made a good move in trading Cruz.
Cruz appeared in close to 30 games during the
latter stages of the 1978 season as a relief pitcher and
compiled an earned run average of 1.72.
Management has been trying to alibi by saying
Cruz is three years older than he was supposed to be
and not as good as his past season record showed.
Cruz appeared to be a hard throwing youngster
and the only efficient reliever Roy Hartsfield could
call from the bull pen.
The trade which brought Lemongello to Toronto
may help the pitching staff but it did the opposite for
the department behind the plate. Allan Ashby was lost
in the same deal. He was one of the top defensive
catchers in the American league and no one took any
liberties on the bases when Ashby was ready to cut
them down trying to steal.
Prediction department
For the benefit of any fans of the National football
league we will make our predictions for the Super
Bowl, so, you can go and bet on the opposition.
How about the Pittsburg Steelers and Los Angeles
Rams going for all the marbles in Miami on Sunday,
January 21.
We will call the Wolverines of Michigan to finally
win a Rose Bowl by beating Southern California by a
score of 27-23 on New Year’s Day.
To all our readers we would like to wish a very
Blessed Christmas and a
Year.
. The ExeterWaxers,
preparing for the annual
I Christmas tournament at
> the rec centre, ran their win
streak to three in a row
when they crushed Lambeth
6-2, Sunday.
It was the most decisive
win of the season for the
local novice crew, who
demonstrated a strong fore
checking game to score four
unassisted tallies.
Jeff Dalrymple started
the crew off with two goals
in the first period, when he
knocked down passes and
raced in all alone on the
Lambeth net.
Waxers win again, ready for big tourney
Steve Lingard upped the
lead to 3-0 when he took a
pass from Jon O’Connor and
neatly deked around two
defenders and blasted a hard
shot to the top corner.
The teams traded two
goals each in the early
minutes of the third period,
with Rob McKnight out-
skating a defender to go in
alone andJon O’Connor pick
ed up the other when his shot
from beside the net
deflected past the goalie.
O’Connor scored his se
cond goal late in the game
when he was sent into the
clear on a pass from B.J.
Batten.
This year’s novice tourna
ment in Exeter will feature a
different format, although
the excitement generated by
the six, seven and eight
year-olds is expected to be
as high as usual.
Rather than a knock-out
type of schedule, the teams
in all three divisions will be
playing for the four top spots
that will put them into the
championship or consolation
finals.
The top two teams will
play for the championship,
while the next two teams
will compete in the consola-
tion round. The goal spread
will be used to determine
any ties that may exist
between teams with iden
tical points.
The event gets underway
on Tuesday when the Exeter
Waxers tackle Parkhill in an
8:30 a.m. start. They’re in
the “B” division, along with
Dorchester, Seaforth and
Lambeth.
Exeter meets Lambeth in
their second game at 10:30.
The “A” division teams
start their action at 1:30
when Strathroy battles
Walkerton. The other five
teams entered in that divi-
give some of the lesser-
lights a chance to get in on
that thrilling action.
Shirley Pratt is convening
this year’s tournament
which is sponsored by the
Exeter Minor Hockey
Association.
