Before the game ended contender. The South Huron intermediate hockey league will . be back in action for another year within a couple of weeks. This league over the past four or five years has proved to be a solid organization capable of providing an excellent brand of hockey thanks to the efforts of fellows like John Ansley and John Stephens. to name only a couple. Each team has in addition been coming up with strong and knowledgeable representatives to keep the league on an even keel and be very successful. The addition of the Exeter Mohawks will certainly help to provide additional rivalry in the area along with teams from Huron Park. Centralia College. Zurich. Hensall and Grand Bend. The long rivalry in junior hockey circles between the Exeter Hawks and Lucan Irish is expected to con- tinue. Despite the loss of about nine regulars from last year Hawks manager FredMommersteeg and coach Ron Bogart can be counted to come up with a com- petitive club. In Lucan manager Bob Taylor and Bill Bannerman are back at the helm of the Irish again and they will • likely ice a strong club. The curling season is less than a month a week with the mens and ladies divisions at the Exeter curl- ing club having welcome back and opening bonspiels scheduled. The ladies will start on Tuesday. October 30 with a pot luck supper and curling exhibitions to follow. A similar event for the men will be held on Thurs- day. November 1 when any newcomers will have a chance to try the game and the veterans will try and get out some of the kinks built up over the summer - months.

Rick Lindenfield chalked up a touchdown and Doug Hoffman booted the convert. A 35 yard field goal at- tempt by Doug Hoffman went wide, but, was good for a single point and a punt by Greg Prout also went into the end zone and another single point. In the final 15 minutes of play, Brian Mercer chalked up, the second South Huron touchdown of the afternoon and Doug Hoffman's convert attempt was good. • The Panthers picked up 165 yards with their ground attack. Wayne Smith was the leader with 55 yards in 12 attempts and Rick Lindenfield was close behind with 53 yards in 13 tries at the line. Rob Pryde was next with total of 15 first downs while 41 yards on nine carries and Northwestern was restricted Brian Mercer on six cracks to nine. at the line was good for 30 Coach Ron Bogart said he yards. was still disappointed in his team's inability to move the ball when in close. He added, "Three times we were inside the 10 yard line and failed to score or get a first down." Bogart continued, "Three times we were also had to settle for a field goal when we didn't get a first down around the 25. We need those big plays." "Our overall play was improved and were somewhat more consistent. We must be ready for Goderich this week", the senior coach concluded. A Good Fun Day A week ago we spent an enjoyable hour and a half during the noon break at South Huron District High School when students put their teachers through some unusual paces Some of the activities dreamed up by the students for their tutors were sort of a sportish nature. Athletic director Ron Bogart agreed to a request by some of his senior football players that he push four football tackling dummies arount the school field for some 6.000 feet. Now we are not saying that Bogart cheated a little. but. he could be classed as somewhat ingenious. He had little trouble in pushing the dummies around. He used a wheelbarrow. Cross country coach Joe Futop made a few trips arount the track. Fulop did the track a little different. He jogged. backwards and needed an occasional tip to move right or left to keep going, straight. Al De Haan also ran around the track. He was allowed to go forward. but. made the trips wearing wooden shoes. • Basketball coach Terry O'Rourke shout ed his players that he certainly can practice what he preaches. O'Rourke spent quite a bit of time in throw- ing basketballs at the hoop from the free throw line. He made 700 successful shots and it took only 793 tries. A- great effort. Some of the other staffers were put through - , - •,u1¢Itial- kiksAsige .Lrow SRO og., ?at ore. 1 c.ipal ¢ Joe Woodgn spent most of the noon houillippig flap- jacks for the students and technical director Walter Fydenchuk showed his prowess in the cafeteria washing dishes. The student council treasury was strengthened by '600 in pledges when vice-principal Herb Murphy and teachers Sherwood Eddy and Colin Lowndes had their beards shaved off in front of most of the students. We must say. there appeared to be three strangers around the school for awhile that afternoon. Begin News Season • The 1979-80 activities of the Exeter,figure skating - club also start next week.
