By ROSS HAUGH
„
The recent five goal performance by Wayne
Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers has brought up a lot of
discussion about his feat.
It just happens we picked up a copy of the new
NHL guide while at Maple Leaf Gardens a week ago
and page 175 tells all about this record.
After watching the Leafs turn in a reasonably good
effort in defeating the Rangers, we would now guess
they have a good shot at making the playoffs.
Before Sunday night's action, the Leafs were in
15th place in the overall standings with a three point
Lead over Pittsburgh and four ahead of Detroit and Ed-
monton.
The excellent play of goalie Jim Rutherford has
seemed to turn Toronto's fortunes around. His habits
of coming well out of the net to cut down angles and
freeness in heading into the corners has excited fans.
If the Leafs get most of their injured players back
in short order theyshould move a notch or two up the
ladder. One of the newer Leafs, Rene Robert looked
good in the game against the Rangers and should help
in the playoffs if he recovers from a current injury.
Back to Gretzky's recent achievement it's in-
teresting to note that many of the top stars in NHL in
recent years were not fortunate enough to score five
times in one game.
In fact, Gretzky is only the 13th player to score
five or more goals in the last 36 years.
One of these other 12 was a Howe. No, it wasn't
Gordie or sons Mark and Marty. It was Syd Howe. not
related to the famous number nine who scored six
goals for the Detroit Red Wings against the Rangers in
February 3, 1944.
There have been only two six goal efforts since
that time. They were Red Berenson for the St. Louis
Blues on November 7, 1968 and Darryl Sittler of the
Leafs on February 7, 1976.
Going back to 1944, the other five goal scorers
were Maurice Richard, Howie Meeker, Bernie Geof-
frion, Bobby Rousseau, Yvan Cournoyer, Don Mur-
doch. Ian Turnbull, Brian Trottier and Tim Young.
Interestingly enough some of the five goal sprees
were against top goalies, fellows like Harry Lumley,
Gump Worsley, Ed Giacomin and Roger Crozier.
In the early days Mitchell's Howie Morenz and
Toronto's high flying Charlie Conacher had five goal
games and both were against Roy Worters of the old
New York Americans.
Going back more than 60 years, Joe Malone of the
Canadiens and Quebec scored five goals in three
different games and scored six and seven times in two
other games from 1917 to 1920.
Talking about scoring, the Art Ross trophy has
never been won by a member of the Toronto Maple
Leafs or New York Rangers. The last time a Maple
Leaf player led the NHL in scoring was in 1937-38 when
Gordie Drillon had 26 goals and 52 points in 48 games.
Bryan Hextall was the last Ranger to lead the
league in points. That was in 1941-42 when he had 24
goals and 56 points, also in 48 games.
The Art Ross trophy was first presented to the
player leading in points in 1947-48. The first winner
was Elmer Lach of the Montreal Canadiens with 61
points in 60 games.
If Gretzky continues with any semblance of his
present pace. he should win the NHL scoring title and
also set a league record.
At the moment he has 38 goals and 74 assists for
112 points. The assist record of 89 held by Bobby Orr is
certainly within Gretzky's grasp. He only needs 15 in
21 games to tie the mark.
In the overall scoring mark, the Edmonton flash
needs 41 points to break Phil Esposito's mark. That
would call for 2 points a game and is certainly possi-
ble.
t
Hawks rebounding
For those fans counting the Exeter Hawks out at
the count of three. losses that is, the team is certainly
not giving up.
The Hawks came back with Friday and Saturday
victories and were in Mitchell last night, Tuesday in an
attempt to force a seventh game, also in Mitchell.
In the other semi-final series in the north, the
Lucan Irish had little trouble in disposing of the
Tavistock Braves in four straight games.
The Irish are now waiting for one of the Hawk
teams to supply their next opposition.
CAHA philosophy
The latest issue of Hockey Today, a publication put
out by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association in-
cluded a few paragraphs on the philosophy of that
organization
We will print it in its entirety.
The CAH:\ believes that every person in Canada
who wants to plan hockey should have the opportunity
to do so at his level of skilland level of interest.
As the governing body of amateur hockey in
Canada we endeavour to facilitate this opportunity and
historically have served male hockey. But. the CANA
stands ready to assist and provide services for female
hockey
The CAHA is committed to provide leadership
which will ensure the hest possible environment for a
quality hockey experience for each player in all types
of categories of amateur play
The (:AHA recognizes that hockey is a major in-
fluence on its participants and on Canadian society and
believes this influence should be a positive one both on
society and on the individual
The CAHA provides leadership to all amateur
hockey in the country and represents Canadian
amateur hockey with the national governing bodies of
other hockey countries.
We believe that hockey exists for the players, in-
dividually and collectively and that the volunteers
whose efforts and dedication make hockey possible for
the players are the foundation of the CAHA.

f
Hawks stay alive
Win two straight
The Exeter Hawks used
home ice advantage to stave
off elimination in their
playoff series with Mitchell
this week. and fans will
know this morning if they
could do the same in
Mitchell.
The two teams met there
last night for the sixth game,
with Mitchell leading the set
by a 3-2 margin. A win would
oust Exeter and send
Mitchell against Lucan in
the group final.
However. if Exeter can
continue to fight off elimina-
tion with a win, the seventh
game will be back in
Mitchell. probably Friday
night although there
appeared to be some
problems with ice
availablility
After dropping the first
three games of the best -of -
seven. Exeter kept their
hopes alive with a 5-3 win at
home. Friday. and then
came back with a 5-4 win at
the rec centre. Sunday.
Play in both games was as
close as the score would in-
dicated and in each, the local
Hawks were hanging on in
the final seconds to preserve
the wins.
Post early lead
Exeter took a 5-2 lead in
Sunday's game and then
hung on for their one -goal
margin as the visitors battl-
ed back with two goals in the
final eight minutes to keep
the fans on the edge of their
seats.
They had a man advantage
for the final 18 seconds and
with their goalie out, had
plenty of pressure on the Ex-
eter defenders.
Paul Pooley
top Buckeye
Paul Pooley has opened up
a 10 point lead as the top
scorer on the Ohio State
University hockey team.
Paul has amassed 23 goals
and 25 assists for 48 points in
29 gapes while twin brother
Perry has eight goals and 11
assists for 19 points.
In a recent twin bill with
Bowling Green, Paul tallied
six points for the weekend.
He had two goals in the 7-6
loss Saturday. Both came in
the first period and were
unassisted and with
the Buckeyes playing
shorthanded.
Perry Pooley gained an
assist on the winning goal
Friday as the Buckeyes
edged Bowling Green 7-5.

equalizer-. Fletcher recorded
22 saves. while Dave
Fischer had 20 for Mitchell.
Three in final period
Exeter took nine of the 15
penalties called. The total
included fighting majors to
Dan Bell and Jeff Rolph.
Exeter scored three goals
in the final seven minutes of
Friday's game to get their
first win of the series. The

ting the count with a final
flurry.
Exeter led 2-1 after the
first on goals by Dave Couse
and Ed Willis, which were
sandwiched around one by
Mitchell's John Sykes.

unitl the 13:23 mark of the
final stanza when Willis

night. A minute later, Brad
Taylor scored on a
powerplay to give the home

eter were Dan Bell and Doug

scored after only 36 seconds
and then built up a 4-1 lead at
the end of the first to take
their 6-3 margin.
Exeter came to life in the
third period with a pair of
goals. but it was a case of
too little. too late.
Duncan Ferguson paced
the winners with a three -
goal performance, one of
them coming in the last
minute of the first when his
team enjoyed a two-man ad-
vantage.
Preston Dearing, John
Kernick and Dart Bell scored
for Exeter with the assists
going to Dave Atthill, Larry
Dawson. Pete Tuckey and
Bill Glover.

WHAT GOES UP — The members of both the Exeter and Mitchell Hawks seem unsure of

5-4 victory over Mitchell.
