The Exeter bantams will be meeting Picton in a best -of - seven series for the provincial championship. The local club is baspaily the same as the team. which won thepee wee crown in the 1972-73 season. The first two ganies of _the series will be here in Exeter this coming -Weekend. The first contest .goes at the Exeter arena Saturday night -at 7:30 p.m. with the second slated for . - Sunday afternoon at 2 p, m. The locals will -travel to Picton. a distance of -about 285 miles the following weekend for another two games. A, toss of the coin will be made prior to Saturday's opening -game-to decide the location of any further games if they become necessary. Coach Ron Bogrt and 'manager Bob Pooley have put together a strong club and they should give a good account of themselves against Picton. Bogart has- been alternating his two goal tenders Ted Triebner and Paul Gaiser and both youngsters have been turning in excellent performances,In most games one goalie plays the first and third periods and overtime if needed and the other handles the second period and then starts the next game. The Exeter defensive corps is big ,and -should stand up as far as size.is concerned with any team of bantams in the province and the forwards are fast and shifty. We would like to wish the locals the best of luck in the finals and hope they repeat their -chary pionship triumph of two years ago. We dropped into the arena Monday morning and a good • number of the bantams were out for•an unofficial practice using a soft rubber puck and showing plenty of enthusiasm. Coach Ron Bogart has lined up two practices and an ex- hibition game this week and the boys should be in good shape for their encounters with Picton. A warming thought While winter • has been hanging around much longer than most of us would like it's probably warming a bit to think of the coming'summer season and a variety of spor- ting activities. Western Ontario fishermen have -less than -a month to wait for the 1975 angling season to open locally. It will be legal -to fish for trout beginning. Saturday. April 26. Good luck. fellows A fund raising project • - Members of three newly formed athletic groups in the area are currently. selling tickets on a raffle lottery and stag to raise -monies for a new mat to be placed at South Huron District High School. • The South Huron Wrestling association made up mostly o▪ f former members of the school wrestling teams.are work- ing with the Exeter and district Gymnastic Association.and the Exeter and district judo club.. The new mat when purchased will also be used for high school activities and SHDHS is contributing to the cost. • .The stag and lottery will be held on Friday. April 25 at the Exeter arena. The three clubs involved in the project are affiliated, with Exeter's RAP committee. - Friendly rivalry The Exeter 'Legion hall was the scene for a friendly sports night recently when members of the Exeter fire department were guests of the Legion. A variety of games including billiards. cribbage. shuffleboard and darts kept visitors and hosts occupied. Legion fun night chairman Doug Brintnell presented the challenge trophy to fire chief Gary Middleton and Don Wells. - Another night of similar recreational activity for mixed participation is planned for the Legion Saturday night of this week. Huron Park skating carnival Officials of the Huron Park figure .skating club are busily engaged rhaking final preparations for their up- comin&carpival. It is the first time. the Huron Park club has attempted to present -a carnival and from reports we have heard it will be a very interesting and colorful event. In order to cut down on expenditures. all costumes are being designed and made by parents of the youngsters par- ticipating. The show is called. "Forest Fantasy" and will be held at the Huron Park arena on Wednesday. April 9 at 7:30 p.m. Included in the show will be two guest skaters from the Exeter figure skating chib. Laurie Prout and Kim Black. Planning summer program Exeter's rec director Jim McKinlay is busy these days lining up an extensive recreation program for youngsters of Exeter and district. McKinlay in his first full year expects to have an ex- panded playground program with activities at Exeter Com- munity park and Victoria park in addition to a full swim- ming pool program. In a little over a month. roller skating will get un- derwayat the arena. Started on a small scale last fall. roller skating proved to be very popular and this 'summer's program will probably go four nights a week. McKinlay expects to have three nights of skating during the week for youngsters and one night on the -weekend for adults. - Roller hockey -will likely be tried on a very small scale and the game of lacrosse may be given a- try. in order to play lacrosse at the arena it would be necessary to place screening above the boards to keep the ball from continual- ly going out of bounds. Everything is in readiness for Sunday's ringette clinic at the Exeter public school and arena. Invitations have been sent to all schools in the area. Ringette is a game on ice for girls using a rubber ring instead of a puck. Officials and players from Waterloo will be in attendance to demonstrate the game. The Waterloo Belles. Ontario Winter Games Champs will be here Sunday and will play an exhibition game at the Exeter arena at 1:15 p.m. This game will be followed at 2 o'clock by the Exeter bantams. Here is a chance for spectators to drop into the arena a little early and catch a glimpse of ringette.
