Hawks are ready to take off
Despite the recent siege of warm weather which
threatens to continue for some time, officials of the Ex-
eter junior Hawks are looking ahead.
Hawks manager Doc Campbell gave us a call over
the weekend to report the first practice session for the
Hawks goes tomorrow night, Thursday at the Stephen
township arena at Huron Park at 9 p.m.
Next week the Hawks will be out againon Tuesday
and Thursday nights againfrom 9 to 10 p.m. and then
switch to Saturdays from 3 to 5 p.m. for the balance of
September beginning September 10.
Campbell who is back for a second term as
manager along with coach Bob Rowe says only one
player will be missing from last year's lineup because
of being overage. He is Tony Underhill.
The Hawks manager said a couple of last year's
players including Dave Rook and Dave Skea would be
trying out with western Ontario junior "B" teams.
Two new members are expected to add to the club's
1983-84 potential. Brian Horner of Zurich who was a
regular right winger last year with the Clinton Junior
"C" team will be in the lineup along with Rick Linden -
field who is back after an absence of one year.
Any area players wishing to try out with the Hawks
are more than welcome to attend any of the practice
sessions or get in touch with manager Doc Campbell
or coach Bob Rowe.
It appears as if the Hawks should be able to ice a
strong club for the upcoming season and could be right
in the running for a provincial championship.
Championships of another kind ,
While talking about hockey championships, two Ex-
eter clubs are in provincial competition this weekend.
on two levels of playoffs in the Ontario Baseball
Association.
The Exeter Express senior baseball team will be
in the Newcastle area on the weekend participating in
a six team Senior "D" playoff series while the Exeter
Co -Op juniors will be in Kingsville competing in a
similar six team competition for the Ontario Junior "C"
championship.
The Express seniors qualified for the Ontario com-
petition by defeating Strathroy in a best -of -three series
with the clincher coming by an 8-4 score Friday night.
The Express will be meeting Walkerton at 9 a.m.
Saturday in Kendall in their first OBA outing. Their se-
cond start will be Saturday at .1 p.m. against either
Newcastle or Tillsonburg.
The other two clubs in the senior OBA competition
are from the Niagara and Ottawa regions.
The Co-op juniors directed by Joe Fulop, Bruce
Shaw and Brad Gregus will pry off the junior playoff
lid Friday night against the host Kingsville team. If suc-
cessful in the opening game the juniors will play again
at noon Saturday or at 3 p.m. if they drop the first game.
Chance to see pros
Of the more than 50 professional hockey players
taking part in the Huron Hockey School this week, about
a dozen are regulars on their respective teams.
Two of the established pros are goal tenders. They
are Roland Melanson of the Stanley Cup champion New
York Islanders and Pat Riggin of the Washington
Capitals.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are represented by Jim
Korn and Walt Pudubny while three Chicago Black
Hawks regulars are in attendance. They are Troy Mur-
ray, Grant Mulvey and Al Secord who has been a
regular at the local school for a number of years.
Of particular local interest, Exeter native Dave
Shaw of the Quebec Nordiques is in action along with
team-mate Mike Hough and John Tucker of the Buffalo
Sabres and Alan McInnis of 'he Calgary Flames. All
four played their junior hockey with the Kitchener
Rangers.
Area fans still have two nights to watch the pros
in action. They will be involved in scrimmages Wednes-
day and Thursday nights from 7 to 8 p.m. Everyone is
welcome to drop in to the Stephen township arena at
Huron Park to see their favourites in action.
When it rains, it pours
That's prob,iuly what members of the Toronto Blue
Jays are saying. Translated it could be, "When things
go wrong. they get worse."
A lot of experts and a number of -American league
players have been saying the Blue Jays were playing
over their heads and were they really for real.
Their` latest tailspin is because of a couple of'
reasons. We would suggest three reasons. The first pro-
bably because of some pressure which they have never
had to face in their. first six years of existence.
Secondly. is bad luck, a factor that every sports
team ever assembled has had to face. The Jays had a
lot of good luck especially in winning nine straight
games in extra innings. Now for at least the time being
the shoe is on the other foot.
They lost two games to Baltimore and two to Detroit
on opposing home runs in the ninth or tenth innings and
that does hurt.
Manager Bobby Cox could possible be accused of
over managing in a number of recent games and chang-
ing pitchers too often. Earlier in the season this type
of strategy worked, but, now when the chips are down
for pennant purposes things seem to he backfiring
The balance of this week will be the doing and the
undoing of the Blue Jays pennant chances. They take
on the league leading Baltimore Orioles Wednesday and
Thursday night and the Detroit Tigers for four games
on the weekend beginning with a Friday doubleheader.
The only thing to help the Toronto club would be a
six game sweep over Baltimore and Detroit and the way
these two clubs have been playing of late it would be
like asking for a snowstorm in July.
Stranger things have happened, but, Bobby Cox will
have to retrieve his magic wand and the starting pit-
chers, hull pen members, the hitters did fielders will
have to get together and produce flawless
performances.
f
Express a
Fuller was the starter and
scattered eight hits over the
same number of innings with
a half dozen strikeouts.
He retired the side in order
in four of the eight innings he
worked.
Pinder got the only three
hatters he faced in the ninth
on two strikeouts and a
grounder to second baseman
Joe Becker.
After Strathroy counted a
single run in the first two in-
nings, the Express scored
twice in the top of the second.
Jim Guenther and Randy
Kraut singled and scored on a
passed ball, a single by Kevin
Hern and when Jeff Fuller
was safe on an error.
Guenther led off the Ex-
press fourth inning with a
home run blast over the right
field fence.
In the same inning the Ex-
press .got two runners on as
Kevin Hern singled and Joe
Becker walked, but, failed to
score.
Jeff Fuller and Dave Hunt
The Exeter Express
baseball team has qualified
for the Ontario Baseball
association senior 'D' playoff
tournament.
The Express defeated
Strathroy 8-4 Friday night to
win the best of three area'
playoff two games to on and
qualify as one of six teams to
compete in the provincial
final this weekend in
Newcastle.
Their first game will be
played in Kendall Saturday
morning at 9 a.m. wirn
Walkerton supplying the
opposition.
In season play in the Great
Lakes senior league the Ex-
press won three of five games
against Walkerton.
In the playoff series with
Strathroy, Exeter won the
first game 12-3 with the Mid-
dlesex county team taking the
second contest 10-5.
Jeff Fuller and Ken Pinder
combined for an excellent pit-
ching performance as the Ex-
press won the deciding game
8-4.

Motocross racing is the

deliberately prepared natural
course. It's one of the most
physically demanding sports,
and motocross racers are bet-
ter conditioned than any other
motor sport racers.
They must deal with jumps.

aways, uneven and loose sur-
faces, and of course.. the
fierce competition of the other
riders. Over this season. Ilul-
ly Gully has provided both
