By DOUG SMITH
We had a vei’y unfortunate ac
cident here at the arena last
week when Ted Elder, starry
centreman of the Mohawks,
crashed heavily into the goal.
Thanks to Dr. M. C. Fletcher and
Ken Hockey, he was moved to
the hospital very efficiently. But
when the X-Rays were checked,
it was found that Ted has two
small bones in his back broken
and will be confined to hospital
for a period of a month or so on
a fracture board.
It’s a tough break for the
team. Ted was starting to show
his last year’s form that made
him a star with Lucan—very
fast, a real pest at checking an
an opponent and possessor of
the best slap shot in the league.
It’s a tough deal all around.
I think this is a very good
opportunity foi’ the Booster Club
to gear their organization to a
point where Ted is in need of
nothing. Cigarettes, reading ma
terial, fruit and visits—a good
pleasant visit — will help him
maintain the good impression of
Exeter he has. Let’s all fervently
hope for a good and fast re
covery.
At present, I think the Mo
hawks are in a slump. But the
best of clubs have them and Mo
hawks are no different—they'll
pull out of it.
Flyers On Top
I was unable to be with the
minor hockey teams on Saturday
due to my meeting with an un
movable force Friday night. But
I see where the Flyers took over
first place in the Pee Wee league.
CGIT Caroilers
Visit Hospital
Every member of James St.
C.G.I.T., 27 in all, accompanied
by Miss Helen Anthony, Miss
Helen Hardy and Mrs, H. J.
Snell, visited South Huron Hos
pital on Tuesday evening. Gather
ed around the fire place in the
waiting room, they pang a num
ber of best-loved carols, led by
Miss Anthony.
On behalf of the C.G.I.T., the
president, Carol Fletcher, pre
sented favors for the patients’
trays on Christmas day, to the
superintendant, Miss Alice Clay
pole. The girls had made the
attractive little favors, filled
with candies, during their meet
ings.
Knowing that the girls were
to return to the church for their
Christmas party, Miss Claypole
presented a box of home-made
candy to them.

Tickets Out
I tried to get out all reserved
seats to surrounding communities
for Ice Fantasy but snow—tons
of the white stuff—turned us
back. However, we tried again
Tuesday.
We. are taking one row in the
north' section of the arena to
each town which means only 30
to 40 people will be able to pro
cure seats in their town. So it
would be advisable to check im
mediately.
Mr. Lisogan, producer of the
show, visited with us last week,
and as a special Christmas gift
to boys and girls, lowered the
matinee price from 750 to 500.
All seats for the matinee are
rush seats. Don’t miss it.
Thank Legion
I would like to take this op
portunity to thank the Canadian
Legion for their very fine spon
sorship of our baseball club and
many thanks for a beautiful ball
jacket.
Question Of The Week
Who are going to stop Zurich
Flyers? Personally I think it will
have to be a very good team.
They have a well-balanced club
—three good lines and, of course,
Jim Hayter on defence. And a
very good goalie. They are fast.
Give them an opportunity to
score and they will capitalize. On
top of that they have a terrific
following of fans.
Anyone misplace a pair of
men’s skates? If so, call Mr.
Bissen, phone 45 OR, Exeter.

From Tlio Ridiculous . . .
If there are some bowlers still
wondering why your bowling re
porter gets paid for .his work,
here are some prime reasons that
would water-down anyone’s Xmas
spirits.
For instance:
• A member of the Strikes
asked us last week were we re
sponsible for making the Strikes
rebowl their match with the
Whizz Bangs.
We admitted we took the. mat
ter to the executive but that the
decision was a collective judg
ment, not individual.
• He said he thought the
league was getting “pretty ser
ious” about bowling when the
captain of the Whizz Bangs
okayed the discrepancy.
To this we replied that no sin
gle person in the league has any
authority to break any of the
rules drawn up by popular vote.
• I-Ie then asked who was go
ing to pay for the games that
had to be bowled again.
That’s the end, brother!
Here’s another example:
• After the third forfeit in
nine weeks and the Blowers’ sec
ond, we suggested to the Blowers’
captain that perhaps, with his
teammates snowed in, it would
have been bettei* to postpone the
game with the Spare Parts Mon
day night rather than forfeit it.
To this we got a real gem of
an answer: “That’s what you
guys would like!” he laughed.
Well, for your information,
“you guys” are the Pinpoppers,
who, in our way of thinking,
naturally would like to see any
of the top teams beaten for the
same reason the Toronto Maple
Leafs would like to see Detroit
and Montreal take a tumble.
Is that so ridiculous?
• The Keglers inquired this
week if the league was using
CBA rules or could they see a
copy of the local league rules.
This was not an unreasonable
request but, unfortunately, there
are no local league rules printed
for distribution. Some of the re
gulations may diffei’ from O.B.A.
rules just as there are “ground
rules” on every ball diamond and
gymnasium.
We hereby offer to rectify this
condition. If the executive will
draw up the rules, we will be
happy to print them.
... To The Sublime
It isn’t often we stick our
necks out to bear the slings and
arrows of outrageous members of
the women’s league but, with so
many people sharpening their
axes with our neck in mind, one
or two more won’t matter. There
was weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth in the alleys
Tuesday night that can’t go un
explained.
■It seems 275 is the mark of
achievement for the women’s
league to cop a round of free
Cokes. No one has reached it yet
but Betty Wilson’s 274 for the
Alley Cats was as close as darn
is to knitting (a headpin and 10
in the last frame).
’Don’t fret, Betty! It will only
mean you’ll have to wash down
the turkey that score will .prob
ably win with something else!
