Joanne Taylor Saints post shutout over Mohawks The Centralia College Saints scored an impressive 5-0 victory over the Exeter Mohawks in South Huron intermediate hockey league play at the Stephen township arena, Monday.

The South Huron league all star game will be played Friday night at the Zurich arena with the northern teams taking on those from the south.

Two very popular events in this area scheduled for this coming‘ weekend may be in jeopardy of being completed successfully without some help from the weatherman. Slated for this weekend are winter weekends at South Huron District High School and , Centralia College of Agricultural Technology. Both schools have some indoor events planned but the major items on the agenda are scheduled for out- doors. Contests such as snow sculpturing, tobogganing, skiing, etc. need a fair amount of the white stuff which has been very scarce, This winter's. (?) weather has been so strange that only those youngsters that received bicycles for Christmas can actually use and enjoy their gifts. Only in the last day or two could anTsmall ponds be found safe for skating. There has been lots of water but not enough of the freezing temperatures. A visit to Grand Bend Sunday afternoon found the river and lake completely open. A few banks of snow had piled along the shore and at the end of the pier, but, no ice whatsoever to hinder the progress of any boats. We may still regret any statements made about the lack of now, but, at least it can't last too long with the first day of ,spring slated for March 21. That's only 65 days until spring should sprung. All star game set The annual South Huron intermediate hockey league all star game will be played Friday night of this week at the Zurich arena. The best of the northern division made up of teams from Zurich, Goderich, Hensall, Exeter and Centralia College will tackle the, cream of,the south with teams from Centralia, Grand Bend, Parkhill, Kettle Point and Thedford. At the time of writing, the Zurich Buckeyes lead the north division with 25 points and the Centralia Marauders lead the south with 27 points. Tomorrow night, Thursday, three excellent league games are on tap. The tops should be at the Stephen township arena where the two group leaders, the Zurich Buckeyes and the Centralia Marauders meet. Other games have Centralia College at Exeter to meet the Mohawks and Parkhill travelling to Hensall. Getting back to the all star game, all proceeds will go to a-worthy cause, the South Huron Big Brothers Association which helps fatherless boys. Good fishing In contrast to the lack of ice on Lake Huron, the situation on Lake Simcoe is quite different with ice fishing reported as excellent. In a story in Saturday's Toronto Star, perch were • described as thicker than hairs on a dog's back near Port Bolster on the southeast shore of Lake Simcoe. The ice on Lake Simcoe is now eight inches thick allowing fishing huts to be placed one mile from shore. If anyone is interested we have the name and phone number of one of the Lake Simcoe fishing operators. Driving time from Exeter to the fishing areas would be about three hours. The cost for each person ranges from $10 to $14 depending on the dis- tance from shore. The playoff picture in the northern, division of the Western Junior "D" loop became more scrambled this week, indicating that there will be a real battle for the various positions as the season slowly winds down. The Exeter Hawks• find themselves in; third place as a result of a win and tie in three outings this week, but that's not as comforting as it may appear although the Hawks have been in the cellar for part of the season. In fact, they're tied with Seaforth for the third spot and Tavistock Braves are only one point behind as the three teams scramble for the final two playoff positions. Meanwhile, the Mitchell Hawks dumped the Liman Irish out of first place, after the latter had led for most of the season, The Irish were beaten twice by Seaforth this week by scores of 3-2 and 12-6 and will have to get back on earlier form if they hope to capture the top spot. The Hawks have only six games remaini'ng in the schedule and only two of those are on home ice, They have completed their schedule against Seaforth, so will need some help from< some other teams to finish arena at Huron Park. The league all star game will be played Friday night in Zurich. In Thedford, Sunday, the Marauders bounced back from an early 2-0 deficit to take a 4-3 second period lead and added three unanswered goals. Doug Rogers and Dale Elliott scored for Thedford in the first minute and 23 se- cond of play before the Marauders got untracked. Dennis Carty put Centralia on the scoreboard at 10.17 on a threeway effort with Ran- dy Somerville and Pete Glover and Randy Somer- ville tied the score two minutes later on an un- assisted effort. In the first five.minutes of the second period, Cec Nickles converted a pass from Dennis Carty and Ron Funston hit on a pass from Randy Somerville to put the Marauders in front 4-2. Allen Stubbs scored for Thedford late in the middle frame. In the third period, Randy Somerville, Mark Cronyn and Cec Nickles were the marksmen for Centralia with assists going to Somer- ville, Dennis Carty and Blair Hearn. In the win over Hensall, Thursday, the Marauders jumped into a 7-0 lead by the eight minute mark of the se- cond period. Randy Somerville was the top scorer for Centralia with three goals and two assists. Blair Hearn was next with two goals and single successful shots were fired by Cec Nickles, Mark ahead of the Centenaires..
