Staff photo • Marauders get two wins in South Huron league Viewing plenty Here we go with our first edition of a new decade, the 1980's. The last four days of 1979 and the first day of 1980 were veritably dreams for the armchair sports fan and this writer was one. Starting Friday rOght until late New Year Day we caught parts or all of nine football games and three hockey contests, We began by saying this would be a mixed bag. Well, the weatherman certainly helped mix up sports on the weekend. Our Saturday schedule started by tak- ing pictures of a power skating class at the Stephen arena at Huron Park, Then a visit to the Exeter Golf and Country Club where Joe French of Granton and a visitor Ron McCulloch from Alliston were enjoying a round of golf. They reported the course in good condition and the greens were reasonably green although a little hard. Next we dropped in to the Exeter lawn bowling greens where four bowling enthusiasts were hard at play. A couple of weeks ago. Charlie Hendy dropped into the off' 'c to tell us he played three ends on December 15, wL...h he considered a record. Before going up to the greens Saturday we gave Charlie a call to see if he was going to extend his late playing record. He said he would try it again if he could round up a partner. By the time we arrived Charlie had Clarence Down, Tommy Walker and Stan Mitchell competing. They, too, reported good conditions with the bowls rolling quite well. Next a drive to Grand bend where we hoped some hardy fisherman would be trying to catch a perch or two off the pier. No such luck, but several commercial fishing boats had just returned with an excellent catch of whitefish. There was a glimpse of summer on the beach at the'Bend. A number of youngsters were enjoying digg- ing and building castles in the sand. Hockey trades The trades last week by the Toronto Maple Leafs have instigated alot of discussion, arguments and con- troversies. The two most vocal against Leafs general manager Punch Imlach for making the one trade were Lanny McDonald who was sent off to Colorado and captain Darryl Sittler. The latter tors the captain's crest off his sweater before Saturday night's game. In a few weeks from now when Wilf Paiment and Pat Hickey prove to be assets to the Leafs, all will be forgiven. Imlach may be criticized, but, he had to do something. His club had given up 32 goals in their last five games while only scoring 11. To make a trade for players of quality, you also have to give up some of the same. In instances like this sentiments must be overlook- ed for the practical side of the deal and the Leafs appear to have the best of the deal. The same type of fuss arose around Maple Leaf Gardens when Frank Mahovlich, Peter Stemkowski and Gary Unger were traded to Detroit. Ironically, present Leaf coach Floyd Smith came to the Leafs in that deal along with Norm Ullman and Paul Henderson. Most fans laughed a few days earlier when Pat Boutette was traded away for Bob Stephenson, a vir- tual unknown. With his showing Saturday night Stephenson may be a very important acquisition. Underdogs surprise Emotion, desire, dedication, etc. Those words may sound a little overworked, but, are the reasons three of the four NFL semi-finalists are where they are. These words describe especially the play of the Houston Oilers in beating the San Diego Chargers Saturday. The Oilers without the services of signal caller Dan Pastorini and the top ground gainer in the entire league Earl Campbell showed tons of desire to win. They will need more of the same next week when they meet the Pittsburgh Steelers for the American Conference title. While we cheered for the Oilers Saturday, it will take a minor miracle to beat the Steelers. Pittsburgh will have the advantage of home field. By Sunday the weather should be more wintry and ideal for the Steelers. Their ideal playing conditions are 10 degrees and sleet. A quick prediction - Pittsburgh and Los Angeles in the Super Bowl. More Honours Joanne Malone of Centralia continues to gain awards and recognition in the world of quarter horse competition.

Batten and Doug Clark. Robbie meLetlend. and Harlen 'Timmy recorded the shutout. That win put the Waxers into the semi-final against Listowel, who had earlier impressed fans with a 5-0 win over Strathroy, Exeter opened the scoring early in the game when Doug Clark took a pass from Alan Hionunee°1; to send him into. the clear. His shot was blocked, but B.J. Batten followed up and slipped the disc into an open corner. Listowel then took control of the game as they rattled in three goals in the first, two of them coming on screened shots. Exeter whittled the lead to 3-2 early in the second when Blommaert scored on an unassisted short-handed goal, only to have Listowel reply with a pair to take a 5-2 lead and what appeared to be a commanding margin. goal with just over a minute quit and Doug Clark scored on a play with Blommaert midway through the third and Blommaert came back with his second short-handed and a half remaining prevented Exeter from the puck in the Exeter end in the final seconds and getting, an extra attacker onto the ice to attempt the equalizer. championship with a However, the locals never Listowel managed to keep Listowel then took the "A" honors with a .2.703 triumph consolation title with a 2-1 In their total goals series. decisive 3-0 win over Byron. over Strathroy, division title on Wednesday with a 4-3 win over Parkhill, while Seaforth copped the with Oakridge, - The teams second Olt by a 4-2 margin, win over Mitchell.
