Two groups of charming young ladies, colourfully, becom ingly, and sparingly attired, spurred on their particular team with excerpts from a large re pertoire of enthusiastic bellows.This collegiate47 spirit was evi dent throughout the evening and it reminded us that, although they work so hard, the cheer leaders get very little credit for the winning of a game. After a great deal of thought, we decid ed to score the cheering sections separately, and referring to Fri day night’s game, it would be Exetei1 “won”, Goderich- “no thing”. Seriously though, gals, those hollars must have really been effective. Refereeing-: Outstanding Some of the prettiest whistle blowing heard fur a long time in the Exeter gym was rendered by R e fe r e e Sasso. Nothing seemed to escape the attention of this eagle-eyed individual from RCAF, Centralia. "Sass” is well known as a player in the Windsor district. Eagles Apparently Laid E'gg Since the trouncing taken from the E.D.H.S. senior boys some time ago, hardly a chirp has been heard from the Exeter Ea gles. Things have hit an im passe of" late, with the lads try ing to assemble remnants of the team to decide on league or ex hibition basketball. The idea has been voiced of borrowing a couple of players from the school and playing ex hibition games only for this sea son. Some think that entry into a league now, with the lateness of the season and paucity of ex perienced players, might make the going a little heavy. Eagle player Hugh Davis, who also" played for the local school for many years, is in Victoria Hospital recuperating from an operation on his knee. Chicks Hatching Something, Too The girls in town are attempt ing to form >a basketball team, but last Monday night, Decem ber 13, their first meeting was not well attended through our negligence to mention it in last week’s T-A. Next Monday night (we hope) things will 'be different. The girls would like all interested persons (and we mean women) who have played 'basketball or who would like to play basket ball, to be at the Exeter Arena at 8:00 o’clock. There are several of former basketball players around Exeter and they could form a pretty fair team. * * * * (For another viewpoint on Friday’s games, read Theresa Dietrich’s “Hi Highlights” on page three). Canners’ Alley Gab by Dick Howard — “Shippers’ lament,■' said Earl Mero, "and our pight to howl!" On Thursday evening his "Can* ners" team won going away and the resulting in increased rival ry at Branch 100. The Shippers, in their first game, had some c’orny scores and, while they wound up their third game with over 1000 pins, they never did catch up on the total game score. Earl Mero’s Canners had their production line running fairly steadily in each game. But at one point in the second game when the Canners were slipping a little and losing their lead, Earl (who is chief engineer at the plant) had his boilei* pres sure guage away up over Mr. Kay’s legal limit of 110 pounds; ’but after tunning on the steam lie got his “injector” going strong again and put new life into his team—sparked by a snappy 275 individual score by his third lead-off man. After that the governor on his “Leonard-Curtis” almost ran away with itself and Earl won the third game by a skinny margin of fifteen pins. A new “dark horse” shoved his nose out in front at the fin ish line with the highest individ ual score of the evening for the Canners—275 pins, made by Alex Ellis. A strange paradox is noted that, while being beaten badly Thursday night, the Shipper’s team (captained by Dick Quance) is still ahead by a nar row seventy-seven pins in the total pin score, and they remain champions to date for the an nual competition trophy. (Scanning the SPORTS By"SCOOP" —Continued From Page Five such plans seem to have fallen by the wayside. Last year's committee, along with George Shaw, ha$ been try ing to get other plans formulat ed, but as yet haven’t got to gether with the boys on the team to discuss this year’s plans. It is hoped to have a meeting this week and get something concrete. Entries in the W.O.A.A. are to be in by December 18, and at the same time representatives have to be appointed foi* the group meeting to be held Tues day, December 28, at the Town Hall. AT THE AIRPORT plans are going ahead to have another O.H.A, team. In fact, the boys have been to Stratford several times working out. Rumour has it that the Airmen will put up a better showing than last year on the evidence of the ’ practices but nothing is at all definite yet. It is to be hoped that the R.C.A.F. will ice a better squad so that district fans can again see some of the fine hockey that once the old Flyers staged at the Arena.
