REPRESENTATIVES from the
district met in the Exeter Town
Hall Monday night to discuss
hockey prospects for the coming
year.
From last season Lucan, Hen
sail, Dashwood, Zurich and Exe
ter ghowed interest in reforming
the 1947-48 set-up, while the
Airport and Grand Bend were
not present and it was learned
were definitely out. Dublin on
the other hand was represented
and may try to be grouped in
this district. *
It was^ again decided to affi
liate with the W.O.A.A. and if
this six-team loop is grouped
there will be three “G” teams
in Dashwood, Zurich and Dub
lin. Lucan Irish, who last year
copped the “B” honours, would
sail as yet hasn’t decided whe-
again be in that grouping. Exe
ter will be in “A”, while I-Ien-
ther it would play in “B” or
“A”.
The "C” division is a new one
for teams under the 500 popula
tion class. Hensall can play in
the "B” division with population
of 500 to 1,000, hut may...step
up into the higher bracket with
Exeter. While the teams would
play as one group, there would
be three different winners to go
on into the W.O.A.A. semi-finals.
The meeting voted to have
Don’Hug'hes’ name submitted to
the W.O.A.A. as the group con
venor. He will succeed Benson
Tuckey, who held that position
-------—-
last year when the old Cyclone
league threw in with W.O.A.A.
THE EXETER representatives
made the suggestion of combin
ing the league into fewer teams.
Their idea was to strengthen
the squads and therefore put on
a better calibre of hockey. This
would also mean doing away
with doubleheaders. How ever,
they definitely were in the min
ority, as all other teams wished
to carry on as in previous years.
We learned after the meeting
that some of the representatives
took the wrong meaning from
this and were of the opinion that
they were not welcome in the
league.
This is unfortunate and is de
finitely furthest from what was
intended. Exeter is in the same
boat as the rest of the teams
as far as the calibre of hockey
is concerned. It has won the
"A” group last year, but during
the regular schedule had its
hands full with all the squads
in the district.
Therefore, it wasn’t to exclude
any particular teams but rather,
as we said before, to try to de
crease the quantity and increase
the quality. The other teams
were satisfied with the set-up
as in other years and, of course,
the majority rules, as it should.
JUST WHAT Exeter can ice
this year is as yet, naturally,
hard to say. It had been hoped
to step up in the O.H.A., but

finalists last year.
The senior boys, especially,
could not seem to operate in
their usual style, and certainly
not in the manner in which they
reputedly played against RCAF,
Centralia two weeks ago.
The girls’ team, on the other
hand, was not given sufficient
competition to test its
