Saturday, the Shamrock league pee wee playoffs will be staged in tournament form with a champion declared in the evening. Sunday, the Exeter figure skating club will be hosting the annual HOME competition. This event for skating clubs in Huron, Oxford, Middlesex and Elgin counties is attracting close to 250 competitors. The general public is invited to drop in anytime bet- ween 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. to watch some excellent exhibi- tions of advanced skating. Admission is free. The two Exeter precision teams will be performing during the day as well as 14 individual skaters from the local club. Hot bowlers. The Exeter Legion branch 167 will be well represented at the Ontario Provincial Command bowl- ing championships to be held in Sudbury, April 9. Three local Legion representatives turned in ex- • cellent performances in District Competition in Owen Sound Saturday to qualify for the provincial finals. Jack Fuller won the five game singles title with a score of 1357 and Al Flynn was third with a total of 1227. In the doubles competition Flynn with his 1227 teamed with Howard Holtzmann and a score of 1126 to finish second with a total of 2353. The Exeter bowlers finished in fourth place in the team competition. The first three in each division will participate in the Sudbury finals. Too many players While talking about the original six NHL teams the subject sometimes comes up of the number of players on a team now as compared to the good old days when 14 or 15 members was a big roster. The NHL now demands that each team must dress 18 skaters and two goalies for each game. This means four forward line combinations and six defencemen. The fans pay their money to see the best possible hockey action, but, with this current system the best line is out,on the ice for only one quarter of the time. This also applies to Wayne Gretzky who gespite his greatness does not see as much ice time as he did in his first couple of years with the Oilers. On the other side of the leger, the chance always creeps in that the line players may get more slivers. - from the bench than they do ice time. This also brings on the play me or trade me attitude. The playoff system in the NHL is also under con- siderable fire. Many in the know including Boston Bruins general manager Harry Sinden believe the cur- rent playoff format does not give enough reward to the team finishing first. The only appreciable reward now is the odd home game in any playoff series. Sinden suggests the first place finisher in each divi- sion should get all the home games in the first round against the team which -finishes fourth. He would allow the visiting team to get gate receipts from two games or some sort of split could be worked out. More on junior telecasts The Ontario junior hockey league games being televised on the Global network each Saturday after- noon are proving to be very popular and the feedback from viewers is very positive. This Saturday afternoon the ganic between the Lon- don Knights and Oshawa Generals will betelevised with North Bay and Sault Ste.. Marie featured the following week. Each week an interview with a hockey celebrity is part of the telecast. This week will he Bob Gainey and the following Week it will be Wayne Gretzky. While speaking of Gretzky his play is still being criticized by former columnist Dick Beddoes whois now sports director' of Channel 11 in Hamilton. 13eddoes continues to say that Gretzky would be a third line performer on one of the original six teams. This assessment is shared by very few hockey authorities. We heard Gordie Ilowe say one night that Gretzky would have been a star 40 years ago or 40 years into the future. As•far as we are concerned criticism of Gretzky is in the same vein as. knocking Santa Claus. Sports . Shorts The.New York Yankees new manager Billy Mar-, tin may not make it to the World Series this fall, but, he has a chance at the Kentucky Derby. .One of the early favourites with three straight wins in California is a three year-old named Billy Ball. • May he surprising to hear that Wayne Gretzky is not the highest paid player in the NIiL this year. Ne is • actually tied for sixth spot on the money list with Guy Lafleur at $:350,000. 'i'ops at $450,000 are Bryan 'l'rottier and Marcel Dionne.

South Huron pair wins in badminton Four members or South • 1luron's badminton club com- peted in a high school doubles tournament in Sarnia Saturday. i'eter .Janssen tend Lovekesh Malik had some dif- ficulty against good teams from several different schools. The two are first year senior players and this fact showed as they won only one match in the tournament. However, it was a different story in the junior girls doubles. Kendra Arthur and 4 Angelina Malik demolished teams from six schools and proceeded to win the junior girls' doubles championships with a 15-6. 15.4 victory over Sarnia Collegiate Institute. The high school badminton teams have not started prac- tices yet because the gym space is still being used by volleyball and basketball teams. Once these sports finish their seasons, badmin- ton will he underway for another crack at a Huron - Perth title. .ice• .,- _.., ! 5: s.,. - . _ HURON PARK WINS — The Huron Park pee wees won the overall championship of a recent tournament in Ripley.
