A new sport
Attempts are being made to organize a new sport
in Exeter -and area.
Next Tuesday, July 3 will see the first game of
underwater hockey at the Exeter swimming pool.
Jim Fleming of Huron Park who has played the game
with the London Dolphins for some four months will be
introducing the sport.
All the equipment necessary is a mask, fins and
snorkel. The sticks which are very short are on loan
from the London Dolphins.
The puck weighs about three pounds so naturally
play is carried on in the bottom of the pool.
Fleming says participants need not be experienc-
ed swimmers. A me is actually 26 minutes in length
with each team getting thedeep end of the pool for about
13 minutes and the shallow portion for the same amount
of time. Orange pylons are used as goal posts.
The game is very exhausting according to Flem-
ing with players changing about every three minutes.
Anyone wishing to try underwater hockey, male or
female are asked to be at the Exeter pool at 6 p.m. on
Tuesday, July 3.
It's expected play will continue each Tuesday night
from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Cost will likely be $10 for a
minimum of six outings.
Further information may be obtained by contacting
Jim Fleming at 228-6280.
Lead widening
The Detroit Tigers continue their fantastic pace in
the American League eastern division and appear to be
pulling away from the pack.
At the time of writing, Sparky Anderson's Tigers
are eight and a half games ahead of the Toronto Blue
Jays and showing no signs of abandoning their
relentless pace.
If there was any flaw in the Detroit armour it could
have been in the pitching department, but, that appears
to be rectified with the successful return of Jack Morris.
Morris had arm problems, but, Sunday he allowed
only one Milwaukee hit in six innings and appears to
be back to normal.
Normal for Morris is more than most AL teams can
handle. He now had an even dozen victories as the
Tigers have run their season record to 52 wins and on-
ly 18 losses.
If the Tigers continue their current pace, they would
finish with something like an unheard of 120 victories
and 42 defeats.
What Frank Beckman of WJR Sports Rap said last
week may be true. Beckman said the 35 and five start
by the Tigers is what has already clinched the pennant
for r them.
Tiger fans should remember back a few years when
a 14 game lead by the Boston Red Sox at the beginning
of September quickly disappeared.
Sparky Anderson said at the start of this season that
the 1984 Tigers are the best club he has ever managed
and his players are doing their best to prove him right.
The Jays with the second best record of all 26 ma-
jor league teams are only three and a half games ahead
of last year's mark. In 1983 they practically folded dur-
ing the last month.
The Jays are on the way to breaking attendance
records. In their first 36 home dates, the Jays are more
than 200,000 fans ahead of a year ago at 932,989 and ap-
pear to be headed over the two million mark.
A great game
Friday night we were able to see the Montreal Ex-
pos take on the New York Mets by way of a satellite
dish.
It was a tremendous game and while the Expos won
by a 2-1 score, the pitching of 19 year-old Dwight Gooden
of the Mets was outstanding. He struck out 11 Expos and
,was throwing lots of smoke to take over the NL strikeout
lead.
With a little more experience, Gooden will turn in-
to an excellent pitcher as will another youngster, Brian
Clemens of the Boston Red Sox.
Player of the year
Congratulations to Paul Pooley on being named In-
tercollegiate hockey player of the year by the Hockey
News.
Paul who has been the captain of the Ohio State
Buckeyes for the past two seasons will receive a do -
tion of $500 to the charity of his choice and a beauti'ul
photo engraved plaque.
The award is being presented today, Wednesday at.
the Sheraton Centre in Toronto at a noon luncheon to
which the Pooley family has been invited. A number of
other Hockey News awards are being presented at the
same time including N1IL player of the year to, you
guessed it, Wayne Gretzky.
We owe a special thanks to Hockey News editor-in-
chief Bob McKenzie for allowing us to use the Paul
Pooley award in this week's issue, actually before the
winner was officially announced.
Other awards being announced today are NHL
rookie of the year Tom Barrasso of the Buffalo Sabres,
executive Scotty Bowman of the same team and coach
of the year Brian Murray of the Washington Capitals.
Need fence help
The Exeter Royals fastball team has undertaken
the project of putting up a new fence at the main soft-
ball diamond at Exeter Community Park.
The local rec league will be purchasing 10 of the
fence panels and the oldtimers team is buying one, but
help is needed in the financing of the final five.
Each panel of the four foot high self supporting
fence is 24 feet in length and the cost is $150.
Any team or individual willing to assist should call
Fred Cook 235-0831 or Brian Hodgins 235-0432.
A plaque with the name of the donor will be placed
on the fence which will be portable and can be stored
for the winter.

In league play
Soccer squirts remain unbeaten, mosquitos beat opposition 26-3
In soccer action in the
squirt division this week, Ex-
eter 1 travelled to Arva for a
game. Two very even teams
tried for 50 minutes to come
out as a winner but they had
to settle for a tie.
Exeter 1 took the lead ear-
ly in the game on a well taken
penalty shot by Marty
DeBruyn, awarded after one
of the Arva players played the
ball with his hands.
The majority of play after
that was in the middle of the
field with Ryan Kyle for Ex-
eter excelling with some
great tackles. A quick break
by Arva created the only scor-
ing play in the second half.
Final score: 1-1.
Exeter 2 squared against
Exeter 3- and remained
unbeaten after a 2-01 win. Ex-
eter 2 has now won an three
of their games. It was an even
well -played game with Ex-
eter 2 capitalizing on their
chances with two goals by
Shawn McCann. The Exeter
'defense deserves special
mention, they have not allow-
ed a goal in their three
games.

Exeter 1 took a 2-0 lead on
goals by Jason Heywood and
Jason Coolman but it was not
indicative of play. Toward the
of the game, Lucan began
pressing and closed the gap to
2-1.
In the final five minutes, all
Exeter 1, could do was hacng on
and some excellea saves
were made by goalie Jeremy
Hern, keeping the final score
at 2-1.
Exeter 2 travelled to Lucan
to play Lucan 2 and were on
the long end of a 4-0 score:
The play was more even than
the score might appear. Some
excellent chances by the Ex-
eter forwards were stopped
by Lucan defenders at the last
minute. Forwards Danny
Martens and Steven Far-
quhar played an excellent
game and with some more
luck cold havescored some
goals.

to play Nairn 1. The game
saw Exeter totally dominate
over the Nairn team only

during the course of the
game. Exeter took the lead in
the first minute of play on a
goal by Richard Phillips after
an excellent play by Darryl
Chappel. Exeter built a 3-0
half time lead and in the se-
cond half really put the game
away by scoring five more
goals.
Goal scorers for Exeter
were: Derek Campbell, Steve
Rankin and Fred Steciuk with

and Nicky Szabo one each.

their opponents how to play
by outscoring them 26-3 this
week.
Exeter 1 played at home
against Nairn 1. After a close
first half, Exeter led by cap-
tain Jaime Wulterkens really

Dubarry with three, Shane
Pfaff, two, and Scott Russell

three games and are in first
place in the standings follow-
ed closely by Exeter 1 and 3.
