For area hockey feria wishing to get some exercise
especially in the vocal department after the big meals
involved with Christmas could do worse than attend
the •annual novice hockey tournament at. the South:
Hiiron Rec Centre. •
Th'e first of 20 games for the eight years of age and
under youngsters will go Boxing Day, December 26 at
30 a m. with the ho§t team, the Exeter.- Waxers
meeting.parkhill. The Waxers will be right back -at it
two hours later taking on Lambeth. •
The finals will be played- Wednesday, December
'27 with the B. A and AA set for 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30
p.m...respectively. , •
Competing in the • 'AA division are teams • from
South London: Oakridge and Galt.
A complete schedule for the •tournament appears
elsewhere in this issue:
• i<:e'
Theis one group of young men from Ontario
Who: will be concentrating more on hockey than eaj;iltg
come Christmas Day. . - ,
-They are -members of the Ontario junior all-stars
who will be participating in a .practice session at the
Londen Gardens come. Mondaymorning.
- • • They are'.oneoof.five. teamstaking part in the
Labatt International:major all star tournament.
The other chlbs" are from Quebec; Western
Canada. the Canadian .Olyrnpie team and the Moscow

• Three of the 13 tourney games will be played at
the London Garden. They are December 26 —.West •
against Quebec: --December 30 — OHA vs Moscow.
Dynamos and the championship gamem_ featuring the
two top clubs on January 3.. All games in London will

are forwards Bill Carroll and Dean Hopkins.
The OHA coach ,is Gary Green from the Peter-
borough' Peres. The Christmas Day practice in London
will be only the third fEkr the OHA team.: -They play
their :first game the following nigh t,in Windsor against
• the Olympic team. •
The other games are divided between Ottawa,
• Brantford. Kitchener and Niagara Falls.
• A missing jello
The -.Toronto Blue Jays should probably get in
touch with Bill Cosby and his cohorts on the Jello ad
for television..-
• Tile Blue Jays recently acquirfd -a lemon Jello.
Well. that's- pretty close. The Toronto club got a new
pitcher by the name of Mark Lemongello but they
have been unable. to get in touch with him.
Lemongello was apparently less than enthusiastic
about taking his pitching talents north of the border
and has been unavailable when Blue Jays general
-_ manager Pat Gliletrafftl--pifchingg coach BobMiller
tried to get in touch with him. •
We certainly hope,:Lemongello changes his mind -
. and decides, to join the Blue Jays. presence presence may'
make up a little for the loss of Victor Cruz. -
The Blue Jays front office' has4had very, little
success in convincing the Toronto press and fans that
• they made a good wove in trading Cruz. ' -
Cruz -appeared in closeto 30 -games during the
flatter stages of the 1918 season as a relief pitcher and
• compiled an earned run average of 1.72.
• " .Management -has;been trying to alibi by saying
• Cruz is three years older than. he. Was. supposed to be
and not as good as his past seasonxecordshowed:.
• Cruz appeared to be a hard -throwing youngster
and "the only,efficirent .reliever, Roy -Hartsfield could
call from the brill pen. •
▪ The trade which brought Lemongello to,Toronto
:may help tie pitching staff but_ it did the opposite for
the department behind the plate. Allan Ashby Was lost
- in: the same deal, He' -was one of the- top defensive
, catchers in the American -league and ne one took any
liberties on the bases when Ashby was ready to cut
them down trying to steal.

The ExeterWakers.
preparing for the arfnual
Christmas tournamena at
the rec centre. ran their win
streak to three in "a " tow
.when they crushed Lambeth
6-2, Sunday.
It was the most decisive
win of the season for the
local novice 'crew. who
demonstrated a strong Tore -
checking game to score four
unassisted tallies:
Jeff Dalrymple started
the crew off-tvith two goals.
in -the first period. when he
knocked down passes and
raced in all alone on- the
Lambeth net.
Steve .Lingard upped the
lead to 3-0 when he took a'
pass from Jon O'Connor and'
neatly deked around two
defehders and blasted a hard
shot to the top corner.
The teams traded two
, goals each in the early
minutes of the third period,
with Rob Mcnnight out -
skating a defender to go in
alone andJon.O'Connor pick -
ed up the other when his shot
from beside the net
deflected past the goalie.
O'Connor scored his se-
cond goal late in the game
when he was,sent into the
clear on a -pass from B.J.
Batten.
This year's novice tourna-
ment in Exeter will feature a
different format. although
the excitement generated by
the six, seven_ and eight-
- year-olds is expected to be •
as high as usual.
Rather than a '4<nock-out
type of schedule,"the teams
in all three divisions wilt'be•
playing for the four top spots
that will put them into the
championship or consolation
finals.
'The top two teams will
play' for the championship,
while the next two teams
will compete in.th'e cohsola-
tion round. The goal spread
• will be used to determine
any ties that may exist
between teams with iden-
tical points.
The event gets underway
