discuss plans.
Bill Chambers, chairman of the
committee said no official action

the meantime, however, a num
ber of player prospects have been
contacted.

The Labatt Trophy teams tight
ened up the standing this week,
but the Spares, so far, have
'obliterated any competition for
first place.
The Rural Rollers and Whizz
Bangs continue to dominate the
Pittsburg Paints series. The Keg-
lers and Ringers came from no
where to claim third place.
Wilmer Wein was added by
the Ringers to bolster their line
up, Doug Smith bowled for the
first time this year under Whizz
Bang auspices Tuesday night,
collecting 604 (248).
Laurels Department
Team of the Week: The Spares
with 3,343 for five men, without
handicap.
Bowler of the Week: Ren<5
Francois of the Spares, with 808
(343).
Best Semi-Final Average: 'Ren€‘
Francois, with 260 for 12 gamete.
(His London average is 228.)
Capsule Comment
Ken Hockey had 195, 197 and
194 for the Big Six this week.
Ken’s luke-warm average this
season is due to a disease he
picked up during the summer—a
bad case of TV!
Rural Rollers 5, Short Circuits 2
The Rural Rollers exhibited some fine bowling as they downed the Short Circuits 5-2—1,146-1,173, 1,322-
1,256 and 1,274-1,057. Wilf Shapton
and Lloyd Stewart provided the power for the Rollers, Wilf with 703 (313)
and Lloyd with 697 (254). Mur Brintnell made a strong bid for the losers
with 699 (279).
Hay Seeds 5, Grease Monkeys 2
The Hay Seeds took five Grease
Monkeys to camp 5-2—1,005-1,014, 1,-
098-1,0-15 and 1,156-1,029—to put the Kippen lads in the running for playoffs.
Whizz Bangs 5, Pinpoppers 2
On Tuesday night four PinpopperB disgraced six Whizz Bangs by edging
the Bangs by one pin in one game
and rob them of a shutout. The Bangs
won the series 5-2—1,193-901, 1,101- 1,102 and 1,212-1,050. Bob Davis (ex
Pin popper) led the winners with 630
(230) and Harold Brintnell, who Won
the 'Poppers only points with a spectacular 314, had a triple of 672.
Ringers 5, Long Shots 2
The Ringers bounced from last place
to third place by adding the seven
points they won from the Huskers to
a 5-2 victory over the Long Shots—
1,009-1,187, 1,110-945 and 1,149-1,053.
Pete Brown dropped 638 (273) for the winners.

The newly-formed Exeter Rec
reation Broomball League has
proven very successful and next
year it is hoped to start the
league right after Christmas. The
round robin series will be a race
to the finish. Three teams are
tied for the top spot, all with
one game to play. Tonight is the
night! Don’t miss it!
Minor Hockey
Minor hockey ended in great
style with a “Mighty Mites Nite”
last Friday. And besides pro
ducing some great hockey, two
new championship teams were
declared.
In the Wee Wee League, Red
Devils were declared the win
ners, by virtue of their win over
the Blue Devils, of the Kinsmen
Trophy.
In the Pee Wee ranks, Flyers
put on a tterrific drivte to tie the
game with the Bombers, but by
tieing, the Bombers were de
clared winners with nine points,
(Flyers had eight) to take the
Pete Crocker Trophy.
Ron Horn and his Leafs took
the Bantam playoffs, two games
to none to win the Bantam crown
and Exeter Minor Hockey League
Trophy. Congratulations, bays.
And to add the icing to the
cake in minor hockey, Mr. Bean
and Mr. Michalski, of Centralia
Air Station are playing host to
all minor hockey players at a
bang-ttp bun feed this Saturday
at the air station. All boys who
played In the Exeter Minor Hoc
key League are asked to meet at
the arena at 1:30 p.m. Saturday,
March 27.
Frank Coleman, former New
York Yankee ball player, will be
guest speaker. All managers and
coaches, donors and sponsors are
asked to attend. The program
will feature films, presentations,
•food and fun.
Carnival Success
The Exeter Figure Skating
Carnival, “Circus on Ice,” was a
huge success in every way. Con
gratulations to Miss Trimble,
Lois Snell and Kinettes. Now
that the ice is broken, it should
be much easier-to form an exe
cutive for next year, made up of
interested parents. If everyone
does his job, I don’t believe an
executive position would be too
demanding and can be a lot of.
fun. Yotir reward: like Lois
Snell’s after many hours of work,
will be in your own exclamation
on carnival night-—"It was worth
it!”
Parents
While we are on the subject
of assistance to recreation pro
jects, the difference between a
successful minor sports program
and a struggling organization can
be the participation of parents.
Our service clubs in Exeter
are doing a wonderful job in
sponsoring minor sports, but
What we need are coaches and
managers. Our minor athletic
association is going to be re
organized from the bottom to the
top and when notice goes out of
a general meeting, why not say
to yourself:
“My boy will be playing, I’m
interested and I want to know
what is going on. I’ll get into
this group. It will keep me feel
ing young and I’ll be helping
these kids develop character,
team spirit, sportsmanship and
help tear down those barriers
that stand in the way of the boy
on the other side of the tracks.
