The Huron Expositor, 1971-04-08, Page 5SPORTS SCENE by Ding It looks like another Provincial title for the •• perennial All-Star Beavers as they advance on towards Intermediate "C" honors. The Beavers presently are leading the best of seven final by two games_and by the lopsided scores should have little trouble going the route, Professional hockey began their playoffs this week with two Canadian teams in the thickof things for the- coveted trophy. The Americans could have really upset the applecart as they complained enough so that all three Capadian teams would be in the same division so that the, final wouldn't involve two Canadian teams. However, there is this, possibility if the Leafs upset New York and Montreal edges Boston then with the criss-cross of league finalists and both Canadian teams win , it could end up with Toronto and Montreal meeting in the Stanley Cup Final. Professional Baseball got underway this week and the Expos dropped their opener against the Mets in a rain drenched game. The Expos have high ideals this season and with some clutch pitching could prove to be a real contender in their division. With spring and warmer weather now upon us the St. Columban Soccer team is' preparing for the coming year. This season should prove to be a real test for the local boys as they are in the first division of the London and District Conference. Tile warmer weather also turns our thoughts to lawn bowling and baseball as playerd'k are now thinking of losing that long winter's fat and getting themselves back into form.. ' Local anglers are also digging but their fishing tackle as the fishing season draws near. Area smelt enthusiasts are also thinking about those little silvery fish as they mend those nets. Don't forget tips& licenses fellows. „ \ Members of the Seaforth Beavers and the Kincardine Bulldogs congratulate each other as spectators mill about following Seaforth's 8 - 4 win Thursday night.

Ken Doig was the second star as between these two they ,com- pletely controlled the play when they were on the Ice. The third star would go to 'John Creigh- ton of the Harvesters for his offensive play as he was the home squad's main scoring threat. SEAFORTH 8 - KINCARDINE 4 The Seaforth.

A motion to adjourn was pas- Sed 'with no delay as one could see dancing was on the minds of all those present. The enjoy- ment of this pastime was further enhanced by the use of part of Brad Smith's library in addlion to our own. And so ended the '70.71 curling season for the Seaforth Curling Club. Curling has always been re- ferred to as the game with a spirit. At the end of the season it would seem it has a soul as well, for it is quite sad to see the death of the ice which has been the curler's pleasure all season. At first it turns grey the gloss id gone, water starts to form• in little pools finally cutting down into the painted rings with all the colours blend- ing together and finally melting away from the pipes like a corpse which has lost all its flesh with just the skeleton left and so it is forgotten for slit months. But unlike man, in the fall the spirit, returns; a new sheet of ice, new circles, new colours, new curlers and a whole new season. I'll see you then.
