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. High Average Scores: Boh Ni­ col, 260; Harold Harness, 222; Earl Mero, 193; Roy Couillard, 192. High Average (nine games): Bob Nicol, 210; Earl Mero, 190; Roy Couillard, 190; Harold Har­ ness, 180. The winning game score for December 16 was 3,100 points bowled by the Shippers, who lead in the race for the annual trophy for the highest total score by 429 points.

The final standings: Hot Shots ................... Pinpoppers ................... Butchers ...................... Whizz Bangs .............. Cellar Rats ................. Big Six ........................ On Alleys 1 and 2, Fred Darl­ ing's Buchers tangled with Don Traquair’s Cellar Rats and, as expected, the Butchers cleaved seven points off the Rats. Ken Hockey led the Butchers with a nice game of 282, while “Fire | Chief’’ Chambers also rolled well with one game of 252. For the. 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 had a high game of 269, while “Scoop” Southcott came up games of 234 and 214.
