Spotlight
By Ross Haugh
For the next two weeks we will devote this column
to an explanation of the rules of the game of soccer as
provided to us by Simon van Dam, president of the Ex-
eter Centennial Minor Soccer Association.
While soccer is a very fast growing sport and
especially here in Exeter with close to 300 boys and girls
participating, we know a lot of fans do not fully know
the rules and we fall into that category.
Each team can have no more than 11 players on the
field at one time - a goal keeper and 10 others. The
goalkeeper is the only one of the 11 who can use his
hands to control the ball while it is in play. '1'he
goalkeeper's job is to prevent the opposing team from
scoring goals.
The goal consists of two upright posts 7.32 metres
apart, and a cross bar 2.46 metres high. A goal is scored
when the entire ball crosses the goal line. The team
which scores most goals wins the game. Stand between
the posts sometime - you'll see the goalie has a pretty
big area to protect!
We've said the goalkeeper is the only member of
the team who can handle the ball. If the ball accidently
hits anyone else's hand, play will be allowed to continue.
But any intentional use of the hands or arms will result
in a free kick being awarded to the opposing team. We'll
say. more about free kicks a little later.
The players 1fnust move the ball towards their op-
ponents' goal by dribbling the ball (running with it, us-
ing the feet) or passing it between the players ( mostly
by kicking the ball, but sometimes by heading it).
Just to make it all more difficult, of course, the
other 11 players on the field are trying their best to pre-
vent the first team from moving the ball forward -
they'd much prefer to be doing the scoring!
The second team may tackle for the ball, block
shots and intercept passes.
Now we'll talk about what players cannot do. In soc-
cer, body contact is generally not allowed, although
there are one or two exceptions:
The shoulder charge. Shoulder -to -shoulder contact
is allowed, but only with an opposing player who has
possession of the ball. Charging from behind. A player
is allowed to shoulder charge an opposing player from
behind, but only when the opposing player has posses-
sion of the ball, and is using his body to obstruct the ball.
Unintentional or accidental bumping and jostling
will not usually be penalized, but under no condition will
violent or dangerous play be tolerated.
The referee will toss a coin, and the team captain
• who wins the toss has the option of choosing which end
of the field he wants to play from, or he can elect to
"}tick -off". If he decides to choose ends (e.g. there may
be an advantage because of wind direction), then the
other team will be allowed to kick off. ,
At the kick-off 'the ball is placed on the centre spot,
and the players must have all the players in their own
ends. The team taking the kick may have their players
right up to the centre line, w ile their opponents must
be outside of the centre circe.
There are no rules governing how the players
should be positioned - this will depend on the coach, who
must decide which system of play suits his team best.
The example of kick-off positions which follow shows
the team which is going to kick off in the traditional
(five forwards, three halfs, and two full backs). This
was orginally a defensive type of system - five forwards
and five defencemen.
Their opponents have assumed the 4-2-4 system posi-
tions. In this system the halves or "linkmen" are all
important. the idea being that they move forward when
the team is attacking and drop back when the team
must defend against an attack from their opponents. Ef-
fectively, by properly using the 4-2-4 system, the team
can attack with six players and also defend with six
players.
The game starts when the team taking the kick-off
moves the entire ball into their opponents' half of the
field. The game is played in two time periods ( first haid
and second half) of 45 minutes•each. At the end of the
first half there is a 10 -minute break (half time). Each
half may be shortened to 30 minutes for younger
players.
After play starts, there are various reasons for
which the referee will stoP the game, and we'll now look
at these.
Goal - After a goal is scored, the team against which
it has been scored take a "centre kick". That is, the hall
is returned to the centre spot.
Throw-in - If the entire ball goes over the side lines,
a throw-in is awarded. This is taken by a player from
outside of the field at the place where the ball left the
' field. He must grasp the ball with one hand on either
side of it and throw it from behind his head.
Ile must have both feet on the ground when he
throws the ball. Which team is allowed to take the
throw-in depends on who last touched the ball. It is
always awarded against the team whose player last
played or touched the ball.
If the ball goes outside the end lines. there are two
possible results:
Goal kick - If the attacking team last plays the ball
a goal kick is awarded. The hall is placed on the defen-
ding team's six yard line, and one of their players is
allowed to kick the hall. None of the players on the at-
tacking team is allowed inside the penalty area until
the ball is again "in play". From the goal kick the ball
must clear the penalty area after being kicked only once
before it is considered to be in play.
Corner kick - If the ball is last played by a defen-
ding player before crossing the end line, then a corner
kick is awarded to the attacking team. The ball is plac-
ed on the corner spot on the side of the field where it
left play, and a member of the atacking team is allowed
to kick it back into play. No player on the defending
team is allowed within 10 yards of the ball until the cor-
ner kick has been taken.

Nino loyal minor soccor toams see action in dlstrict Ieaguo
Nine of Exeter's minor soc-
cer teams saw action this
week in the Lucan and district
soccer leagues.
In the squirt division Ex-
eter I met league leading
Lucan II in a game at the high
school. Exeter took the lead
early on a goal by Marty
DeBruyn but Lucan came
back with a few great breaks
and took a 3-1 half time lead.
Exeter kept battling back
but the bigger Lucan team
took control later in the game
and finally beat Exeter 16-3.
Other scorers for Exeter I
were Julia Brand and Marty
DeBruyn with his second goal
of the game.
Exeter II met Morris I on
the new field behind the Rec
centre. Exeter II led by a four
goal performance by Shawn
McCann and excellent play
making by Jamie Vandam,
never were in trouble and by
virtue of their 5-1 win con-
soldated second place in the
standings. Also scoring for
Exeter was Jerrie Parker
who played an excellent game
defensively.
Exeter III travelled to Il-
derton and were on the short
end of a 3-0 score. The Ilder-
ton team with just a little
more experience and desire
never gave 'Exeter many
scoring chances and some ex-
cellent goal tending by Trevor
Taylor for Exeter kept the
score close.
In atom action Exeter I
played Lucan II. The Exeter
team scored their second
place in the standings for
another week. The Exeter
squad put some excellent
passing combinations on the
field and built up a 4-0 lead
over the game before Lucan
finally on the score board late
in the game.
Exeter 1 is developing into
an excellent unit. Scoring for
Exeter I were Jason Heywood
with two, Tim Brand, Mark
McDonald one each.
Exeter II continued their
improved play of the last few
weeks by disposing of Nairn
I by a 5-0 score. The Exeter
team proved just a bit too
strong for the Nairn team.
Exeter was led by a two
goal effort by Steve Fahr -
guar. Other goal scorers were
Dan Martens, Paul Charrette
and Marty DeBruyn. Dan
Martens played an excellent
game for Exeter.
Exeter III travelled to Il-
derton to play highly placed
Ilderton. The big and ag-
gressive Ilderton team never
gave Exeter III much of a
chance using their chances to
play to a 5-1 win.
In Mosquito action Exeter 1
travelled to Arva to play a
team with exactly the same
record to this piont of the
season. The game reflected
the closeness between the two
teams.
It turned into a real battle
with Exeter I taking a 2.0 lead
by Arva fighting back. Final
score 3-3. Scoring for Exeter
I were Steve Dubarry with
two and Sisavay

Tuesday, the Express
blanked Thorndale 4-0 and

munity Park at 6:30 p.m. with
Exeter Co-op juniors supply-
ing the opposition.
In Tuesday's whitewash
over Thorndale, Perry Stover
of the Express held the op-
position to only three hits
while recording a half dozen
strikeouts.
The Express struck for two
runs in the opening inning
with singles from the bats of
Walt Parkinson and Dave At-
thill providing the power.
In the Exeter second frame,
Gary Hartman and Brian
Mercer singled to send one
run across the plate.

around to score in the third in-
ning as Perry Stover tripled
and came home on a single by
Steve Pearce.
In Sunday's opening contest
Cam Haist
scores ace
Unfortunately for Cam
}Mist, the seventh hole was
not the one chosen for the
closest-to-the=pin contest in
Thursday's men's club play
s.Y�.
at Ironwood Golf Course.
Had it been the one chosen.
Haist would have won the
honor easily as he aced the
hole.
The Grand Bend native
scored his hole -in -one with a
four -wood on the hole which
measure just under 200
yards.
He was playing in a Tour -
some with Dick Bakker, Brad
Daters and Brad Murray.
of the twin bill, Steve Pearce
pitched the first five innings
and retired on Byron batter in
the sixth before being reliev-
ed by Dave Hunt. Pearce
picked up four strikeouts and
Hunt sent one batter down on
strikes.
The Express victory was
preserved in the top of the
seventh inning when out-
fielder Doug Hoffman threw
out the potential tying run at
the plate for the final out.
The Exeter club counted a
single run in the opening inn-
ing as Doug Hoffman singled,
stole second and third 'and
scored on a wild throw.
In the nightcap Jeff Fuller
turned in a solid pitching per-
formance holding the visitors,
to but five hits while fanning
one. Fuller also led his team
at the plate with four hits in
the same number of times to
the plate and drove in five
runs.
The first Express run was
manufactured in the third
stanza when Brian Horner
singled. stole second and
scored on a single, the first of
the four hits for Jeff Fuller.
In the fourth, Walt Parkin-
son cracked out a triple and
was plated on a double from
the bat of Paul Gilmour.
Three straight singles in the
sixth inning from Doug Fair-
bairn, Brian Horner and
Fuller sent the third Express
run across the plate.
