The two teams that 'provided very exciting action will be back at the Rec Centre tomorrow night, Thursday to meet in a pre- season exhibition game. That's right the Western Mustangs will be meeting the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks. Game time is 8:30 p.m. The game is be- ing sponsored by the Exeter and district junior Hawks. Dave Bogart, coach of the Hawks this year was with the Golden Hawks a few seasons back. For those with short memories, the Golden Hawks eliminated the Mustangs in double overtime in a real thriller here in February. There is no reason to believe tomorrow night's contest will not be as exciting. Last season, the Mustangs had 15 rookies and not much was ex- pected of them. The story should be a little different this year with 17 returning players in the lineup. Western coach Barry Martinelli says his club has all the ingre- dients to win an OUAA championship. Of course, Laurier will have a lot to say about that. Of special interest to local fans will be the appearance of Western captain Chris McCauley who was an OUAA all star last season. Chris is the son of Terry McCauley, a former general manager of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. Chris played his first hockey in Exeter at the age of six. Phil Carter who was with the St. Marys Lincolns last year is a right wing candidate with the Mustangs. About his team coach Martinelli says,"We have a little more depth, we don't have a lot of size but we make up for it with our Rec Centre Thursday night speed. We also don't play like a small team. I think we will be able to wear people out with our speed and our depth,." All in all it should be an outstanding game and It ithoped a large crowd will attend to support the Hawks in this fund raising venture. Norm. Cash Passes It's distressing to hear of the death of former Detroit Tiger star Norm Cash in a drowning accident on the weekend The 51 year-old Cash was one of the stalwart Detroit performers Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh �!w!w;++ern.:......................:•;:................. .. .............: when they won the World Series championship in 1968. He won the American league batting title in 1961 with a mark of .361. Since then only three others have exceeded the .361 mark. They are Rod Carew, George Brett and Wade Boggs. We certainly remember Cash from the '68 World Series. He was the one that kept all the reporters laughing around the batting cage before the games in Detroit. The subject got around to the most valuable player in the Series and Cash said, "It will be Tim McCarver. He's caught every strike Bob Gibson has thrown." Cash knew what he was talking about. In the first game of the series, Gibson struck out 17 Tigers to set a record and leash was the final Detroiter to fan. Four members of the Tiger team of 1968 have now passed away. The others are manager Mayo Smith, Ray Oyler and Joe Sporma. A Skating Clinic The Lucan figure skating club is sponsoring a skating clinic this Sunday, October 19 at the Lucan Community Centre.

The Goderich Vikings will be in town to meet the Panthers in both the junior and senior divisions. First place will be at stake in both games. Friday afternoon, the strong South Huron field hockey team will be playing at home in a Huron -Perth semi-final playoff game.
