Spotlight
By ROSS HAUGH
With a final look at the 1981 Exeter Sportsmen's
dinner we remember comments from a couple of
stars.
Gerry Datilio of the Montreal Alouettes talked
about Jamie Bone's attempts to get the CFL
designated import rule to give Canadian quarterbacks
a better chance.
Datilio who is the only Canadian at that position
said he supports Bone 100 percent
He told us at the earlier press conference, "You
have to respect Jamie for sticking to his cause know-
ing it would kill any chances he had of making good."
The Alouette said he would testify on Bone's
behalf if it would help. He added, "I would be glad to
throw in my two cents worth.-
Marshall
orth."Marshall Harris of the Cleveland Browns when
asked about the controversial play in the dying
minutes of the AFC final against Oakland said. "of
course nobody will admit calling it."
Harris went on to say that the Brian Sipe pass
which was intercepted to kill any chances the Browns
had for the Super Bowl was "ran in from the bench".
The Browns big defensive tackle added, "If the
play had worked our coach would have been a real
genius. I thought it was a good call. It worked in
similar situations for us before."
About Houston Oilers great running back Earl
Campbell, Harris said, "You have to stop him quickly.
After a few steps with his great speed it takes two or
three to stop him. He's just like an 18 -wheeler".
John Scratch of Goderich was also at the dinner.
He talked about his career in auto racing and ac-
complishments as a member of the champion Formula
Ford team.
Scratch is a teacher at Robertson Public School in
Goderich.
Terry Puhl of the Houston Astros said he was very
lucky to be with that club. Because Houston is a young
club. Puhl was brought up to the big leagues quicker
than normal.
Puhl said, "I learned to play in the majors and
that's unusual."
Good All Star Game
Tuesday's NHL all-star game in Los Angeles was
one of the best seen in a long time.
Hockey fans that like to see a hard hitting game
may not have been too enthused, but, for back and
forth action it was superb.
The play of Mike Liut in the Campbell division goal
was as good or better than one can see anywhere.
After watching Liut in action, it's easy to see why
the Blues are second in the overall standing in the
NHL
Able Oldtimers
Television commercials in recent years have been
telling us that a 60 year-old Swede is in better physical
condition than a 30 year-old Canadian.
If these fitness experts had dropped in to the South
Huron Rec Centre Saturday night they might have had
a different opinion.
The Seaforth Oldtimers were in action. The
minimum age for this team is 35 years and many of the
players are a lot older.
Ken Doig is 53 and fellows like Jack Mcllwain, Gar
Baker, George Coveney, Ed Dolmage and Ray Anstett
are not far behind.
These guys played good brand of hockey and Doig
and Mcllwain in particular showed they have lots of
speed and puck savvy.
Both Sides
We have mentioned several times recently that
Paul Pooley is among the top scorers on the Ohio State
Buckeyes hockey team. Paul is now leading the club
with 18 goals and 19 assists for 37 points, two more
than Jim Mroszak.
Perry Pooley is also well up in the scoring with 16
points and is a valuable part of the Buckeyes penalty
killing combination.
Perry and his mates have allowed only three
power play goals to their opponents this year in 44
shorthanded situations.
Good aim or lucky?
The Exeter Hawks may have had a bad time in
Mitchell Sunday afternoon, but, one of their fans was a
little more fortunate.
Charlie Atthill won 35 in the Staffen's Food Market
sh000terama by shooting the puck from centre ice
through a small opening in the net
This information was passed on to us by former
sidekick Tom Creech who is now editor of the Mitchell
Advocate.
After record
Chief Scram. the fine young pacer owned by
Sanford Reid of Ailsa Craig and trained by Art Hodgins
of Clandeboye goes after a record Friday night.
The four year-old gelding will be going after his
10th straight win in as many lifetime starts in the tenth
race at Western Fair Raceway.
It will be Chief Scram's toughest test as he com-
petes in a class for non -winners of 312.000 and optional
claimers of 322,000.
Another local horse is still undefeated. it's
Blackbro Greg. a trotter owned by Garth and Ken
Blackler of the Kirkton area.
Blackhro Greg is unbeaten in his first seven
lifetime starts.

Hawks lack desire
After two games of the
northern division Junior "D"
semi-final, the Exeter
Hawks have shown little
justification for their desire
to meet the Mitchell Hawks
in the playoffs.
Opening the series at
home, Friday, Exeter didn't
indicate they were prepared
to play anyone as they were
thumped 7-2. Sunday af-
ternoon, they put on a more
spirited effort but still ended
up on the short end of a 4-1
count.
The two losses have them
behind the eight -ball. They
had to go back to Mitchell for
the third game last night
(Tuesday) and the fourth
contest is slated for the rec
centre This Friday. Unless
they can sharpen their
shooting accuracy, the local
Hawks may miss out on their
home ice advantage for the
fifth game which is also
slated for here on Sunday at
2:00 p.m.
Mitchell took a 3-1 lead in
the first period of Friday's
opener as they out -played
the Hawks in every depart-
ment and then padded the
margin with two goals in
each of the final two periods.
Harold Davis paced the
Mitchell attack with a hat
trick performance, while
Daryl Stacey added a pair.
Ron Bilcke fired Exeter's
first goal in the first period
on a play with Brian Mercer,
while Bill Glover notched the
other late in the second on a
play with Dan Bell and Larry
Dawson.
Exeter netminder Rich
Fletcher turned aside 23 of
the 30 shots fired in his
direction, while Mitchell's
Dave Fisher stopped 24 of
the 26 fired at him.
Mitchell took 13 of the 21
penalties called, but the
Exeter power play was
ineffective. In fact, Mitchell
scored their final goal while
playing a man short late in
the third period.
Fischer stays hot
Mitchell netminder Dave
Fischer was hot on Sunday
as Exeter attempted to get
back on even grounds in the
series. The netminder
stopped 35 shots to help his
mates post their 4-1 margin.
The winning Hawks served
17 minor penalties compared
to seven by Exeter, but the
latter's powerplay was again
ineffective as they mustered
only one goal while playing
with a two-man advantage at
the 13:26 mark of the final
period.
On the other hand, Mit-
chell scored twice while they
were short-handed.
The home crew jumped
into a 1-0 lead after only 21
seconds of play when Brad
Fischer beat Steve Wells on
a play with Fred Bice and
Rob Stovell.
They upped the lead to two
goals at the 1:09 mark of the
second when Stovell blinked
the light.
The next goal came
three minutes later when
they were playing with two
less players than Exeter and
they popped their final goal
at the 15:59 mark of the third
when they were again short-
handed. Harold Davis and
Rick Ballantyne were the
marksmen on the final two
tallies.
Bryan Baker was the lone
triggerman for Exeter
withthe assists going to Dave
Atthill and Brian Mercer.
Fischer stopped 35 shots in
the Mitchell nets, while
Steve Wells turned aside 19
of the 23 fired in his direction
as Exeter carried the play
throughout much of the
contest and were aided by
the Mitchell penalty parade.
Exeter coach Ron Bogart
missed both games due to
business commitments and
Ken Pinder shared the
coaching duties with trainer
Larry Taylor.

Cowgirls
win three
The Crediton Cowgirls
started their 1981 softball
season over the weekend and
were successful in winning
three games despite a pair
of handicaps.

a London tournament and
were playing on a snow
covered field.
In Saturday games, the
Crediton club defeated the
Optical Hut 2-1. the Barn 6-3
and the Gorillas 7-4. Sunday
they dropped a 7-0 decision
to Waterbed World in the
final game.

hitter with a triple, double
and three singles in the four
games. Tammy Regier add-
ed a pair of doubles and
Brenda Wilds sparkled in the
the field.
Sharing pitching duties for
Crediton were Barb

Carol Stuart.
