At the annual awards banquet, Thursday, coach Ron Bogart announced that the centre red line would disappear to eliminate the two-line offside pass. He said the move should speed up the game a bit and would make skating and defense even more important in the wide- open game. College teams have eliminated the centre red line and fans have been impressed with the results of the change. Next season as well, the Junior "D" players will have to serve all penalties to their maximum length, even if a goal is scored while they are in the penalty box. changes At the present time, the player returns to the ice when a goal is scored during his penalty. Now it will be passible for teams to score more than one goal on the power -play during one player's penalty. Bogart reported the decision to try the ex- periments for one year was made at the recent OHA meeting and he said he hoped the changes would be the for best. The veteran coach told his players that Junior "D" hockey is in some trouble as more teams move into "C" competition. There are no Junior "D" teams east of Toronto now and one league in western Ontario may be in difficulty as two of the six members have applied to move into "C" competition. The league in which Exeter for next season plays is one of the strong links remaining and it is expected that it may get one new member this season as Thedford has applied. Commenting on the past season, Bogart said it was "challenging and at times frustrating." He added that he hoped some of the players had grown up a bit and had become aware of the necessity of accepting decisions of other people. He indicated some disappointment in the team's play through portions of the season, but said the final three playoff games against Mitchell made a believer out of him in his pre -season suggestion that the Hawks could skate with any team in the league. "It took all year to make my predictions come true," he said, noting that some of the players played their best hockey in the final three games. Bogart advised the players he had still not reached a decision about returning as coach for the coming season. He suggested he was at the "crossroads" and noted the job entailed a considerable amount of time and criticism. However, he said if he did come back, he may im- plement a summer off -ice conditioning program to get the team ready for their first four or five games. He said that could make the dif- ference between first and fourth place. Derry Boyle announced that he would not be retur- ning to pick out the three stars for home games. "You'll have to find a new stooge," he advised in an- nouncing he would not be in attendance at all games. "I'll believe that next year at this time," Bogart told the hockey enthusiast. Rookie Ed Willis ended up with three trophies at the awards banquet. He won the prize for the most im- provement over the season, most valuable in the playoffs and the Hawk award. Preston Dearing also copped three awards. He was voted team leader by the Hawks, was judged most valuable during the season and won the Earl Campbell Jeweller award for ac- cumulating the most points in the player -of -the -game voting through the season. Brian Mercer copped the scoring title with 52 points, Pete Tuckey won the most gentlemanly player award and Bill Glover was judged best defenceman. Doug Brooks took rookie of the year honors and Dave Couse was awarded the dubious title associated with the "stump award" it being for the player decked most by the opposition during the season. The only graduates this year are Brad Taylor, Ron Bilcke and Dennis Presz- cator. Bogart wished them well in their future en- deavours and said he hoped the balance of the team members would return for the coming season.

Tigers open with loss The Dashwood Tigers opened the 1981 Great Lakes senior baseball season on a losing note as they dropped a 12-5 to the Arva team Sunday afternoon. The Tigers only came up with a couple hits, but used 11 bases on halls to score their five runs. Getting base hits for Dashwood were Barry Baynham and Luc Gagnon. Veteran southpaw Jim Guenther started on the mound for Dashwood and was touched for 11 runs dur- ing a three inning stint. Another lefthander John Bruijns came on in relief and held the Arva opposition to a solo home run in the sixth in- ning. The Tigers swing back into action with a weekend doubleheader against the Strathroy juniors. The first game is set for Dashwood Friday night at 8 p.m. with the return contest back in Strathroy Sunday at 7:30 p m.
