Manager •Frank Funston tells us the ice is going in early this week and he will be ready for a full summer of on -ice activities. Frank reports a summer hockey league will get underway this Sunday morning with eight teams competing. The Huron Hockey School takes over the Stephen ice surface on Monday, July 21 and will continue right through until the last week of August. The first week which begins Monday is a special local area pro- gram giving district hockey hopefuls a chance to enhance their playing skills. A few openings are still available. Anyone wishing to participate should call Frank Funston as soon as possible at 228-6425 or 228-6866. The last week of August will involve the professional segment of the school and close to 60 pros and prospective are expected to attend. Funston says he had a couple of calls a few weeks ago after the June draft from youngsters who were drafted and wanting to take part in the school here. We are not absolutely sure of this, but, believe the Huron Hockey School is now in it's 18th year of operation locally and three of the original organizers are still part of the very popular and successful school. They are Ron Mason, hockey coach at Michigan State Universi- ty; Cornwall high school principal Brian Gilmour and for a short - time coach of the M1nneeota North Stars Bill Mahoney. Bill, a sum- mer resident of Grand Bend currently operates a donut shop fran- chise in London. The original three have now been joined by Paul O'Dacre who is involved on a full time basis as general manager arid administrator. ports Spotlight by Ross Haugh The Stephen arena has taken on a new look with glass above the boards all the way around the ice surface and a new ice resurfacer has been obtained. Need referees There is a call out for hockey referees, but, this time it's for a slightly different brand of hockey. Jim Workman, coach of the girls field hockey team at South Huron District High School is in need of volunteers to referee at Stephen arena Huron -Perth conference games, especially the home contests of `the Panthers. Field Hockey is gaining great strides in popularity in this area and Jim Workman is certainly responsible for this. Through his •hard work and good performances of his teams, field hockey has been added to the athletic events of high school conferences. Anyone wishing to help this game gain further prominence by , learning to referee should call Workman at 235-0154. If enough response is received, the Women's Field Hockey Association is will- ing. to conduct a clinic in Exeter. We should point out that refereeing prospects can be male or female and they will be paid for their services. Here are the answers to last week's trivia questions: Carl Yastrzemski received 190 intentional walks during his ma- jor league career. The Only non -player to have a number retired is California Angels owner Gene Autry. He wore number 26. Bobby Hull is the only NHL player to score 50 pals during five seasons. They were 1962, 1966, 1967, 1969 and 1.672. This week's questions are: Two National Hockey League teams disbanded between 1938 and 1942 to cut the number to six clubs. Who were they? Who is the only major leaguer to catch the first game of a doubleheader and then switch to the shortstop position for the se- cond game of the twin bill? In. Strathroy tonight Express chalk up two impressive victories The Exeter Express recorded two impressive victories this week in the GreatLakesWestern Ontario senior baseball league. The wins were 21-7 over Thorndale and 12-2 against Lakeside. The Express were up against Lon- don Eager Beaver last night Tuesday and todnigh, Wednesday travel to Strathroy for a regularly scheduled league contest. The win over Thorndale was ac- complished mainly on a 14 run out- burst in the top of the seventh inning when each player in the Express lineup had two trips to the plate. After the home Thorndale club had scored two runs in the first inning, Dave Shaw started the Express scor- ing in the second with a bases empty home run. In the Exeter third, Dave Hayter singled, moved up on a walk to Dave Atthill and Don McDonald's fielder's choice. Walks to Steve Pearce and Atthill in the fifth followed by singles from the bats of Don McDonald and Greg Hern produced two more scores for the Express. A McDonald triple, Greg Hern dou- ble and singles from Kevin Hern and Dave Shaw sent five local runners home. In the wild and wooly seventh frame, the first five Exeter batters received free trips to first. Getting two hits apiece during the marathon inning were Don McDonald, Kevin Hern, Doug Fairbairn and Brian Mercer. On the defensive side, Jeff Fuller went the first five innings on the Ex- press mound. He gave up seven runs, an even dozen hits and recorded four strikeouts. Mike Neil came in to toss the sixth and seventh innings. He retired the side in order in the sixth and after giv- ing up a leadoff single in the seventh got the next three batters in quick order. Score Early Sunday's win over Lakeside was ac- complished in the exact fashion to the earlier me. The Express scored a single run in the first inning and add- ed five more in the second which were enough to claim the victory. Dave Shaw singled in the first and scored on a similar hit from the bat of Mike Neil. The five run barrage in the second inning was powered by a Dave Shaw triple and singles from Greg Hern, Steve Pearce and Dave Hayter. In the Exeter third Doug Fairbairn and Dave Atthill singled and rode home on Greg Hern's triple. Hern was cashed on a Shaw single. Dave Hayter and Paul Gilmour singled to score a pair of runs in the fifth and Atthill counted the final run in the sixth. After singling, he moved up on single from Will Sentjens and scored on Kevin Hern's sacrifice fly. A quartet of Exeter pitchers held Lakeside to two runs and four hits. They were Paul Gilmour, Dave At- thill, Dave Shaw and Bob McDonald. Best Interest 10 3/8%. Guaranteed Investment Certificates * 'subject to 'change Gaiser»Kneale Insurance Brokers Inc.
