Hosting the tournament, the Pan- thers lost both their games in pool play Thursday, to watch the H.B. Beal team from London capture the title. Beal was paired against the Pan- thers in the first game of the day, and came away with a decisive 6-1 victory over the home team. "The second game was the key," said coach George McEwan, noting that the St. Clair team from Sarnia was able to capitalize on the foul, wet weather. "One of their strategies was to shoot more - make the goalie fall down," he said, stating that the Pan- thers typically more cautious style didn't pay off. Because the Panthers were seed- ed last in the six -team tournament, they faced the toughest competition first. The Huron -Perth champions, Stratford Central managed one win, and a tie that ended up in a shoot out. "It shows how important it was to win Huron -Perth," said McEwan. "We would have had an easier route to the playoffs." Still, McEwan has no illusions about the superiority of the Beal team, calling them "obviously dom- inant". "It was all ball control...I'd be very surprised if they don't do well in OFSAA," he said. Now that the Panthers' season is over, McEwan is looking to next spring, when he will have to put to- gether a team without Jeff Lingard, Dan Martens, Jamie Dougall, or Mark Brintnell, players whom he said made a difference. The bal- ance of the team is expected to shift a little further forward, with maybe some gaps in the mid -field. "We may be getting some players from the juniors who are better at shooting," speculated McEwan, and said he would like to see the team at WOSSA without having to host the tournament. "It was a good year...it was prob- ably one of the most successful," he said. in the pouring rain the slippery field at the Nabisco Canning factory took its toll on many teams' strategies in senior boys WOSSA soccer action Thursday. Here the South Huron Pan- thers go head to head with the Sarnia St. Clair team. The home team eventually lost 3-2. Results from senior boys WOSSA soccer Thursday Pool A H.B.

Hunters voice concerns Safety has improved in hunting as there were 150 accidents in 1960 and 30 years lat- er there were only 45. By Fred Groves, TA staff BF.LMORE - Thursday night 500 people crammed into the Bel - more Community Centre to voice their concerns on gun control. The biggest argument seems to he why should hunters have strict gun regulations put upon their use of firearms and violence in the cit- ies, as related to guns, continues to run rampant. "The people who are asking for guns to be taken away are hasical- I urbanites," said Huron -Bruce MP Paul Stecklc. Thursday's meeting was spon- sored by the Huron Fish and Game Conservation Association and Steckle himself is a hunter. The Liberal member has said puhlicly he is against the proposed laws his party is trying to get to- wards gun control. "Some of the statements I have made are not for popularity" said Steckle. In a recent interview with -the Globe and Mail newspaper Steckle said he defended the rights of law abiding rural Ontario constituents to own guns. "We do not represent the majori- ty of Canadians but we have to be heard," said Steckle. The biggest debate over gun control is why the Liberal govern- ment is trying to put their efforts towards tougher gun control rather than tougher laws for criminals who use guns. "It's not us (hunters and recrea- tional gun owners) that's the prob- Ictn. it's the criminal. Do we have to keep murderers in jail, let's bring hack the death penalty. Don't give them the second chance," said Steve Cooke who was the modera- tor for Thursday night's meeting. Steckle said giving up guns to solve crimes would be wrong and he used prohibition and alcohol as an example. "I think it's a privilege in this county to own a gun," he said. Bill C-17 is the federal govern- ments law on gun control and it ap- pears as though it is far from being "It has been an issue which needs to be addressed" cast in stone. "The ink isn't dry on it and al- ready we're looking at tightening it up," said Steckle. Some very interesting facts about hunting were presented including there are 420,000 hunters in Onta- rio and they spend nearly $320 mil- lion annually on lodging, food, etc. Safety has improved in hunting as there were 150 accidents in 1960 and 30 years later there were only 45. Bob Pegg, a conservation officer with the Ministry of Natural Re- sources said hunting is very impor- tant. "There is a healthy deer popula- tion. The deer population is too healthy according to some farmers. We need the hunters. The MNR recognizes it as management," said Pegg. Although gun control is a federal issue, Huron MPP Paul Klopp said the two should work together. "There's been a lot of talk and pressure about the issues. There needs to be some modification. This issue isn't political, it's about people," said Klopp. Bevan Brown of Wingham, one of the organizers of the well - attended event asked Steckle if there was a particular group that was pushing for the stiffer regula- tions or was it coming from Justice Minister Allan Rock. "If he had his way, there wouldn't be any guns," said Steck- le. Steckle said he invited Rock to Thursday's meeting but he had prior commitments. However, Steckle said he would take the many concerns to him. Jeff Payne, another organizer of the meeting asked if anyone who illegally imports guns into the country could be charrd with be- ing an accessory to every crime committed with those guns. "It has been an issue which needs t0 be addressed, " said Klopp. Murray Elston, Bruce MPP was supposed to be at the meeting but he did not attend due to prior com- mitments. Len Lobb, representing the Re- form Party, said the government is misusing funds on gun control.

That one goal, in a 1-0 score against Stratford St. Michael's, was actually the first goal in regular league play to land in the Panthers net all season. The girls had managed to shut out all comers on their way to the Huron title, their only losses coming in unrelated tourna- ments. "They defeated us 1-0, but we outplayed them," said coach Dave Cox. A disallowed goal in the first half, followed by a deflected shot off the crossbar only emphasized how close the Panthers were to the ti- tle. "We controlled the play in the rest of the first half," said Cox. "I think they [Stratford[ had only three shots and scored on one good one.''- Cox ne.'=Cox said even the Stratford coach agreed South Huron was the Netter team. "This was a very good junior girls' team," he said, and again cred- ited the strength of their performance on the quality of the minor soccer program in the Exeter area. "We were a very strong team. We just didn't score on the game it counted," he said. Next year, Cox said he is hoping to keep 10 of the 18 players. "We've pretty much got a starting team," he said. Graduates from minor soccer to the high school program may help fill out the line- up. Baseball roundup Exeter Rookie 'A' May 28 Exeter 3 at Goderich 6 Doubles: Cam Murray. Tony Ens.
