Spotlight
By Ross Haugh
The 1982 season for the Exeter Minor Baseball
Association as outlined at Tuesday's annual meeting
by secretary Brad Gregus is a very ambitious one.
For the first time in the history of minor baseball
in Exeter, duties of supervising or operating a team
will be divided amongst a manager, coach, assistant
coach and captain with yet another person acting as
secretary for all the teams,
This season will see the return of senior baseball
after a seven Year absence and the addition of a junior
club for the first time.
As well, an all star team will be added in the tyke
categoryfor tournaments and playoffs, a team that will
be selected from a four or six team houseleague to
operate Saturday mornings throughtout the summer.
Featured highlights of the season for each team
will include hosting a tournament for each team, a
league all star game and the possibility some of the
teams will be selected to host that category's OBA
championship tournament at the end of the summer,
an alternative to the playoff format.
Also planned are exhibition games, an Exeter -
Dashwood oldtimers game and home run hitoff featur-
ing old time sluggers Jim "Long Ball" Russell, Jim
"'Vic" Guenther and Doc Miller.
An umpires clinic is set for the South Huron; Rec
Centre on May 1 when all successful participants will
be able to receive both their WOAA and OBA card§ the
same day.
A coaches clinic is planned for May 4 and a players
clinic May 15. Dennis Schooley and Bill McLaughlin of
the Stratford Hiller will be.in charge of both clinics.
The highlight of the season will be a Detroit Tigers
tryout invitation clinic to be held at Exeter Communi-
ty park on July 17.
The southwestern Ontario area of Chatham to
Georgian Bay and Sarnia to Kitchener will be scouted
two weeks prior and players will be chosen to attend
the one day camp at the new Exeter diamond.
An all star team from that camp will be selected.
at 5 p.m. of that afternoon to play an exhibition game
against the London senior intercounty team at 6:45
p.m.
The oldtimers game between Exeter and
Dashwood team of the late 1960's and early '70's is set
for July.
In his brief to the recent meeting, Gregus conclud-
ed, "The increase of baseball facilities and in par-
ticular, the addition of a new fenced in park will
without any doubt makefor greater enthusiasm for not
only parents, coaches and players but also visiting
teams.
A Good Carnival
The executive of the Exeter figure skating
carnival including president MJ Chanyi and conveners
Agnes Aunger and Barb McLelland are to be con-
gratulated on an excellent carnival Saturday.
To the best of our knowledge it was the 29th year
that the skating club has staged a carnival and it con-
tinues to improve each year.
While on the topic of carnivals, the Zurich -Grand
Bend figure skating club will be staging their annual
event on Sunday, March 21 at the Zurich arena.
The guest skater at Zurich will be Lynn
Nightingale of the Minto skating club in Ottawa. Lynn
has a long list of accomplishments including Canadian
junior champ in 1972, first at Skate Canada and Prague
Skate in 1973, senior Canadian 1974 and 1975,Canadian
senior title in 1976.
Gretzky Again
It seems that the subject of Wayne Gretzky
appears in this column each week. Here we go again.
With 14 regular scheduled games still to go.
Gretzky is breaking records every time out and his
point total is sure to be higher than any of .his most
rabid supporters could ever hope for. -
Now with 18 points, the sensational No. 99 will cer-
tainly hit the 200 mark and probably give the sponsors
of a chocolate bar contest some problems.
The makers of Mr. Big bars have a contest which
has a card with each purchase and the number of
points Gretzky will end up with.
The problem is the organizers didn't expect he.
would score so many points. We have seen cards with
162 and 148 points on them.
The highest total on any card issued is apparently
221. If Gretzky averages three points per game over
the last 14 games his grand total will be 223 and send
the chocolate bar moguls to the aspirin bottle.
Before anyone says three points per game in the
closing stages may be difficult, let us quickly point out
he has picked up 25 points in his last six outings.
Correction
A couple of weeks ago we said Bill Mickle's eight
ender was the second time this almost impossible feat
was accomplished at the Exeter curling club.
That was correct, but, we were wrong about the
skip. Harry Snell was on the rink, but, Clarence
Down was the skip. The other record breaking
memberswereDorothy Elder and Lillian Pym. Sorry
Clarence.
Comeback Try
The comeback attempt by Mark "The Bird"
Fydrich with the Boston Red Sox will be cheered by
baseball fans throughout North America.
Fydrich who was such a sensation with the Detroit
Tigers before running into arm problems is being
given another chance by his former manager Ralph
Houk.
The Bird will likely start the season with Paw-
tucket a Boston form club, but, don't be surprised to
see him back in the majors later this year.

Sixth game last night
Fans of the Exeter Hawks
will have to find out the score
of last night's game in
Mitchell to know whether
they'll have an opportunity
to see the squad in action
again this year.
The locals were in a must
win situation last night after
falling behind 3-2 in their
series with a loss on home
ice, Sunday. If they won,
they'll play the deciding
game in Exeter on Friday. If
they lost, they'll hang 'em
up.
Exeter marksmen have hit
a real drought in the best -of -
seven with their arch rivals.
They have scored only 11
goals in the five games and
only four in the last three
contests.
After splitting the first two
games, Mitchell took a 2-1
series lead with a 2-1 victory
in the second period of
overtime last Tuesday. The
Hawks rebounded to knot the
count at two games each
when they posted a 2-1 win at
home, Thursday, but they
put their backs to the wall
with a 3-1 loss in the Sunday
night affair.
Mitchelltook advantage of
defensive miscues to score in
the first and last minute of
the first period on Sunday to
take a 2-0 lead and they
upped it to 3-0 early in the
second on another poor
passing play in the Exeter
zone that was intercepted
and rifled into the cage
behind Rich Fletcher.
Exeter hit the scoreboard
at the 12:30 mark of the third
period when Kerry Bedard
finished off a play with Doug
Brooks and Bryan Baker,
but it was too little and too
late although they missed an
excellent chance a couple of
minutes later when Mitchell
goalie Dave Fischer
misplayed a shot off the
boards and the puck came
out in front of the empty cage
but the Exeter player in the
slot couldn't get his stick on
the bouncing disc.
Exeter's passing was well
off the mark throughout the
contest and Mitchell stayed
on top of them to hold them
to a meagre 20 shots on goal.
The local Hawks had a
two-man advantage at one
point in the middle period
and didn't even manage a
shot on goal as Fischer was
calledon to make only three
saves in the second stanza.
Ellis Willis thought he had
a goal in the first period, but.
the Mitchell goal judge
didn't flash the light and the
referee sided with him.
The Hawks played without
Preston Dearing and Peter
Tuckey, the latter being
absent due to illness, while
Dearing is out for the season
with a back injury.
Mitchell took four of the
seven minors called and
none of the penalties figured
in the scoring.
Late effort does it
In their 2-1 win in the
fourth game of the series at
home, Thursday, the Hawks
scored with just over a
minute remaining to pull it
out.
All-star defenceman Bill
Glover took the puck in his
own end and skated the
length of the ice to out -
muscle a couple I If defenders
to get a pass back to the point
where Larry Dawson's blast
went into the open corner of
the net.
Exeter had taken a 1-0 lead
with a power play goal by
Doug Brooks in the first,
while Mitchell knotted the
count with the only goal of
the middle frame. Dave
Atthill assisted on the Exeter
tally.
Fischer recorded 26 saves
for Mitchell, while Fletcher
had 23. The locals took nine
of the 17 penalties called.
Lose in overtime
The scoring famine for
Exeter actually started in
the third game when they
mustered only one goal on 51
shots in a game that went
into the second period of
overtime before being
decided by a goal from the
stick of Mitchell's John
Sykes.
Netminder Dave Fischer
thwarted Exeter's attempts
throughout the game,
especially in the middle
period when they blasted 17
shots at him and failed to
click on any of 'them.
Rich Fletcher was equally
sharp, stopping 41 shots.
Exeter took a one -goal
lead in the first when Dave
Atthill finished off a play
with Baker and Bedard and
it appeared as. though they
may make the one -goal
margin stand up as they held
Mitchell off the sheet until
the 16:52 mark of the final
period when Ferguson
finally got one past Fletcher
to send the contest into
overtime.
There was no scoring in
the first overtime session as
Exeter out -shot Mitchell by
an 11-8 margin and they were
ahead on shots by a 4-2 count
in the second overtime
before Sykes connected for
the winner.
Exeter took six of the 10
minors called in the contest.

The Hensall
Sherwoods have won the
first three games of their
best -of -seven South Huron
hockey semi-final with the
Exeter Mohawks, but, they
only lead two games to none.
An Exeter protest on the
opening game, Thursday
won 8-5 by Hensall has been
upheld by the league ex-
ecutive.
With 12 minutes and 52
seconds left in the third
period, Allan Taylor of Hen-
sall was tagged with a 10
minute misconduct for dis-
puting the fifth Exeter goal.
The referees failed to
assess an additional two
minute penalty which the
rule calls for. Hensall went
on to score three tirnes to
win the game.
League president John
Snell said Tuesday morning
that if the protested game
has any bearing on the out-
come of the series it will be
resumed at the time the inci-
dent occurred.
Snell said the two teams
had until game time of last
night's fourth game. or is it
the third, to decide if they
would play the game over in
it's entirety or just from the
time of the protest.
The Sherwoods went on to
win the second game in Ex-
eter Friday night 10-2 and
took the third contest in
Hensall Sunday by a score of
7-2.

the first period allowed the
Sherwoods to carry on to a
10-2 decision in the second
game in Exeter Friday night.

minutes old when the Sher- .
woods first goal was fired by
Dwight Consitt on a three-
way effort with captain Ken
Varley,and Brian Maher.

Allan scored on an unassisted
effort, Dave Kinsman con-
verted a pass from Rick In-
gram and Ingram registered
on passes from Dwight Con-
sitt and Gary Kyle.
The Hensall club continued
their scoring prowess with
three goals in the middle ses-
sion while the Mohawks hit
the scoreboard for the first
time.

and Dave Kinsman fired the
Hensall goals with Brian
Maher and Rick Ingram pick-
ing up two assists each and
Consitt and Al Taylor helping
