Although final calculations have not been made it is expected close to 910,000 will be turned over to the Thames Valley Treat- ment Centre and Easter Seals. The only two celebrities receiving standing ovations were the youngest and the oldest. The youngest of course was seven year- old Josh Watson in his role as Exeter's Timmy. Josh thrilled everyone with his good natured and positive attitude despite the fact he has no use of his legs. We have just returned from the Ontario Community Newspapers convention in Toronto. One of the highlights of the event is presen- tation of Junior Citizen awards by Lieutenant Governor Lincoln Alexander. Also attending was John Aird, former Lieutenant Governor who has been a sincere supporter of this project. We had a chance to chat for a couple of minutes with former Ex- eter OPP Constable Frank Giffin who is on the security staff of the Lieutenant Governor. Frank, chairman of the Sportsmen's Dinner committee a few years ago was pleased to learn of this year's success. Getting back to the standing ovations, the second was for Maurice "The Rocket" Richard who is 57 years older than Josh. most successful Lions Sportsmen's Dinner Thanks probably to practical use td tibia halir colouring product he is famous for, Richard looked as Who otauld get back on the ice. Richard in modest fashion talked about his bad days with Cana- , diens rather than many of the good ones. He missed moat of the first three seaeour and the last two because of three broken ankles, a fractured.wrist and a cut tendon. Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh He failed to mention 13 great years whith his linemates Elmer Lach and Toe Blake. In those years, Richard was the first to score 50 goals in 50 games. Billy Harris, a former Leaf said Richard's SOgoals were scored at a time of only six teams and against the five beat goalies in all of hockey. • He continued, "Wayne Gretzky is a. worthy scoring champion and so talented, but, I would bate to think of what a healthy Rocket Richard would to today's hockey." Harris said good things have happened to him because of hockey. He is now involved with Pat Stapleton, in his Fundamentals In Ac, tion hockey clinics, now sponsored by Pepsi Cola and Canadian The. One of these programs is being carried out this year by the Hen - sail Minor Hockey Association. We had an interesting chat with headline speaker Nelson Briles at the press conference prior to the dinner. When talking about our visit to the 1968 World Series in Detroit Briles replied, "Sorry to say I was there, too." Briles was the starting pitcher in the fifth game for the St. Louis. Cardinals which the Tigers won to stop the Cards from ending it right there. The Tigers won the next two games in St. Louis to emerge as world champions. Briles agreed with us that a routine ground ball hit by Al Kaline in the fourth inning of the game which struck something and bounc- ed over the second baseman's head was 'the turning point. The Cards were ahead at the time. Briles told us he is not returning as a colour commentator in Seat- tle, but, expected to sign a cable television contract the next day to cover the Pittsburg Pirates. His major league pitching record was 129 victories, 112 losses and an ERA of .342 over 14 seasons. At home Friday night M�hawksg go amosuptwo on Tavistock ther counting on a three-way passing combination with Brian Mercer and Pete Tuckey. In the next two minutes Ted Clad- ding and Greg Poetker registered for the Royals. The first goal was on a power play. Following this the Mohawks mov- ed back in front 3-2 as Brian Camp- bell and Cam Doig hit the Royals net in a space of 29 seconds with assists going to Dale Gibson and Randy Kraul. These scores came with the teams playing six aside. Later in the period each team took advantage of a penalty to the opposi- tion. Kevin Albrecht hit for Tavistock and Randy Kraul responded for the Mohawks on a play started by Pete Tuckey and Bryan Baker. Each team was able to score two goals in the second 40 minutes of play. The Exeter Mohawks have taken a two game lead in their best -of -five first round series in the Ontario Hockey Association Intermediate "C" playoffs against the Tavistock Royals. On home ice Sunday night, the Mohawks scored an impressive 6-1 win in the first game and Monday back in Tavistock held off the Royals in the third period to eke out a 7-6 victory. The third game of the series goes Friday night at the South Huron Rec Centre at 8:30 p.m. If a fourth game is necessary it's back to Tavistock Saturday night at 9 p.m. Should the series be extended to a fifth and final contest it would be played Sunday night in Exeter with a 7:30 p.m. star- ting time. In the other quarter -final series Hillsburg leads Harriston one game to none with the second tilt in Hillsburg tonight, Wednesday. The winner of this series will meet either the Mohawks or Tavistock in the league semi-final and this even- tual winner goes to the final against either Elora and New Hamburg. Lots of early scoring In Monday's game in Tavistock most of the scoring took place in the first period as the Mohawks held a 4-3 margin. The 32 penalties handed out by referee Ab Henshaw played a large part in the scoring. Of the total 13 goals registered, seven came on power plays and one was a shorthand- ed effort. The game was only two minutes old when the Mohawks took advantage of a Tavistock penalty with Jim Guen- MOHAWKS DRAW WINNER — Exeter Mohawks president Gabby Mph presents a cheque of $1,000 to Paul Kerslake as the top winner in Saturday's elimination draw.

Campbell filled,out a hat trick effort with two goals, one on a power play. Assisting were Pete Tuckey, Randy Kraul, Doug Latta and Brian Horner. What eventually proved to be the winning goal was fired by Dale Gib- bon on a pass from Brian Campbell at 1:13 of the third period. Near the 12 minute mark, Mike Booth scored for Tavistock with his team playing shorthanded to com- plete the scoring and allow the Mohawks to come out on top. The Mohawks came up with a solid all-round team performance Sunday night as they dumped the Royals 6-1. Although the shutout bid by Louie Arts was thwarted by the only Tavistock goal late in the third period he turned in an excellent effort especially on two occasions when two team-mates were in the penalty box. The game was only seven minutes old when the newest member of the Mohawks Kris Bedard completed a three-way passing effort with captain Randy Kraul and Cam Doig. Only four minutes later, Bedard, a resident of Zurich found the Tavistock net again. This time Doig and Bill Glover assisted. s The Exeter seoring was completed by the 11 minute mark of the second 40 minutes of play. Pete Tuckey made it 3-0 on passes from Bryan Baker and Brian Mercer at 2:17. Near the nine minute mark Steve Prout sent Brian Mercer in on the Royals net and he made no mistake about it. The only power play of the game which was successful was fired by Bill Glover on a sizzling shot from the blue line on passes contributed by Cam Doig and Barry Baynham. From the press box it appeared as if Baynham had deflected the puck into the net but the decision of referee Brad Horton gave the goal to Glover. Brian Mercer was back at 11 minutes of the second period to fire the sixth goal of the night for the Mohawks and it was enough to send starting goalie Larry McKay to the bench in favour of backup netminder Maury Sauder. Attendance for Sunday night's first playoff test was in excess of 400. At the Mohawks elimination draw and dance at the South Huron Rec Centre Saturday night, the winner of the $1,000 major prize was Paul Kerslake and Sunday's 50-50 draw winner was Ron Hannah.
