Members of the Exeter Hoc
key Club got togather last Fri
day night to discuss prospects
fox’ the coming season.
The players unanimously ap
pointed Reg McDonald as mana
ger, George Shaw is expected to
choach and play, while Gerry
Smith will take over the trea
surer's job from Gord Farrow.
Manage:1 ’McDonald and last
year’s captain, Wes Ryckman,
will represent the team at a
group meeting to be held in the To-vVn Hall next Tuesday night.
Several new prospects will be
trying out with the team which
it is hoped will give it added
strength. Besides George Shaw,
Roy Perran will be lining up on
defence. Ijloy played a few
games with Mitchell Interme
diates last year. There will also
be several players trying out
from the Aix-port who do not
make the ’’Flyers.
With the addition of several
Intermediate O.H.A. teams in
the W.O.A.A. this season the
calibre of hockey will be even
better than last season. It the
locals hit the semi-finals they
will be faced by some of these
stronger teams. For this reason
Exeter is hoping to have an im
proved team over last season.

Alley Gab
— by Dick Howard —
With a modest, “I was lucky,”
we quote Bob Nicol, of the Ship
pers’ team, who not only leads
the league with the high aver
age scores, 'but last Thursday
night chalked up a grand total
of 3 54 pins in his third compe
tition game. This gives Bob the
high men’s score for the Decem-
bei* prize money donated by
William Sweitzer, ownei1 of the
lanes.
This feat of Bob’s answers
Pink Pryde’s prayer in his “Pin
Ball” column
(Can’t anyone
Ken Hockey?).
Nicol holds his
cember prize money!
Anything else we might say
about Thursday night’s play af
ter Bob Nicol’s sensational scor
ing would be an anti-clifiiax.
Therefore we just give the fol
lowing high scorers:
High Individual Scores (to'
December 16) r Bob Nicol, 3 54;
Earl Mero, 245; Harold Harness,
23 6; Roy Couillard, 19 7.

The winning game score for

lead in the race for the annual

score by 429 points.

Cellar Rats, Ken Cud more
bowled a 215, while Captain
Traquair got a game over 200
with 202.
On Alleys 5 and 6, the hap
less Big Six ran up against the
league-leading Hot Shots and
lost seven points. Roy Brock
(with 229) and Doug Brintnell
(with 215) led the Shots, while
Don Case and Stan Frayne led
their team with individual scores
of 232 and 211 respectively. As
a side note to this, we might
add that Harold Wolfe of the
Hot Shots became a "papa”
again on Sunday. Congrats, Har
old! Maybe that was the reason
your bowling was “off” Monday
night?
In the games rolled on Alleys
3 and 4, the Pinpoppers and
Whizz Bangs tangled. The Pin
poppers came out of the fracas
with seven points, mostly be
cause the Whizz Bangs were a
man short. Si Creech and Bob
Southcott led the Pinpoppers to
their win with high totals of
607 and 629 respectively. Si
