The league will now be truly a South Huron organization with only about 13 miles separating the four arenas which will be used by the five teams and all are in the southern part of Huron county. Getting ready for the new season are the defending champion Zurich Buckeyes, Hensall Sherwoods. Ex- eter Mohawks, Centralia College Saints and the Cen- tralia Marauders. The Mohawks were a doubtful entry for a couple of weeks as manager Lewis Mitchell and coach Jack Chipchase were unable to find enough players. The league executive has made a concession to the local team for one year whereby they will be able to sign three players outside the town of Exeter in addi- tion to a goal tender. The goalie rule applies to all clubs. It is expected the Mohawks will sign three players from the Grand Bend area. They are limited to an even dozen the number of players they can sign from Exeter except a goalie. If the local signings exceed 12 then one import must be dropped for each additional Exeter resident signing. The South Huron league started in the 1971-72 season with five teams basically the same clubs as those ready to go again in a couple of weeks. The two Centralia teams, Hensall and Zurich were charter members along with a team from the com- bined areas of Dashwood, Grand Bend and Shipka: This latter team operated for eight years under a variety of names. The three teams missing from last year's lineup are Parkhill, Forest and Goderich. Parkhill and Forest have joined the Cyclone intermediate league and because of financial difficulties the Goderich team has dropped back to a recreation league. John Stephens who has been on the executive in one capacity or another for the full 10 years of opera- tion and president for the past two and a half years is retiring. Well, at least he is trying to quit. Despite his try at retiring because of added responsibilities with the Exeter Lions club, the new executive has kept Stephens on as an honorary presi- dent. John Snell is taking over as president and Shirley Rader is the new secretary -treasurer. The league has compiled a reference manual which covers all of its activities during the first 10 years of operation including championship teams, trophy winners and a copy of the league constitution. The biggest rebuilding job as far as a playing roster is concerned this year falls to coach Frank Funston of the Centralia College Saints. Funston has only one player back from last year's club which gave the eventual champion Zurich Buckeyes a real battle in the playoffs. The only returnee is Tim Breedon. A couple of 1980-81 Saints have moved on to other clubs. Ed Michniewicz is with the Petrolia Squires, defending Allan Cup champions and Ken Vanos is a member of the Thedford Browns, the newest entry in the OHA western junior D league. With very little travelling necessary for any of the five clubs. the fan rivalry should be very intense this year and that is necessary for a successful operation. Good luck to the South Huron league as it starts its second decade in providing a good brand of hockey for area fans. Be a cautious hunter A recent press release from Ontario Provincial Police headquarters in Toronto gives some hints and suggests caution for hunters throughout the province. It says in part - "The hunters of Ontario are probably the only people who are welcoming the cooler weather and longer nights. Put these two things together. add the trees changing colour and you have the onset of the hunting season. The Ontario Provincial Police have a few ideas which could mean a more successful and enjoyable hunt this fall. Guns and alcohol are a bad combination. So the real hunting enthusiast keeps the two apart. Some social activities are part of most camp life. but, they should he kept until the hunting day is over. You have to be stone-cold sober to protect yourself in the bush. Once you are off the beaten trail. the bush areas of Ontario become a hostile environment. Again the knowledgeable hunter has an advantage. He will carry a map. a compass and a survival kit. If he loses his bearings. he stands a much better chance of getting back to camp One last tip. Anyone who is thinking of getting a new rifle 9r shotgun for the hunting season must have a firearms acquisition certificate. If you dont have one already give yourself some time to go through this formality before your hunt. You can apply for the certificates at any police office and they are good for five years. It's the successful hunts that are best remembered. it's also the hunting tragedies that are never forgotten. With forethought, good planning and an awareness of what could go wrong you have all the ingredients for a memorable hunting season.

Rich Fletcher came within 17 seconds of posting a shutout in F'riday's win over the Irish. That was all the time that was left on the clock when Keith Hartwick dented the twine for the visitors' lone goal. The locals took a 4-0 lead in the first and added two in each of the second and third frames to win with ease. Three of the goals came on the power play and one was notched while they were playing short-handed. Ed Willis and Bill Glover paced the attack with a pair of goals each, with one of Glover's coming on a cur- ving slap shot from just in front of his own 'net. Fletcher picked up an assist on the rink -long shot that bounced off Dan Sceli's glove and popped over his head into the net.

Take Toronto tourney School field hockey team winnin The South Huron girls' fieldhockey team firmly established themselves in first place in the Huron - Perth league with three victories in a tournament last week. In a weekend tournament in Toronto, the team won all six of their games to finish atop their pool of 24 teams. The weekend tournament, sponsored by the Ontario Women's Fieldhockey Association saw South Huron gain wins over Ajax, Ottawa Bell, Toronto Bishop Strachan, Hanover John Diefenbaker, Hamilton St. Joseph's and Medway. "The team's play was terrific. We had lots of goal production" commented coach Jim Workman. The team scored 17 goals in the six games, while goalies Leanne Dillon and Chris Westelaken shutout the opposition. After a two week layoff, South Huron was a little rusty in their first game against Stratford Central in Wednesday's tournament. The girls nonetheless dominated play and won 1-0 on a goal by Cheryl Cann. Leanne Dillon played well in goal to earn the shutout. "It's a tough, cold job. You have to keep your con- centration for those few shots each game." Workman said of the netminders role. Dillon had an especially remote role in the 3-0 Pan- ther win over Listowel as she never had to stop a shot or goal. "Our offense was really strong.
