Exeter Mohavks could be playing Senior "B" hockey again next winter! When we saw something leimilar to our first statement in the London Free Press a. Couple of weeks back, we pinned it clown as the laugh of the week. The only way possible for any town such as Exeter to journey back Into Senior "W' hockey is for the whole league in which they are playing to turn with thein. To our .amazement, this is exactly what the teams in the loop are seriously considering. Don Budda, manager of the Ilderton Wildcats, was the actual mentor who dreamed up the situation and presented it to the WOAA board at a meeting last Sunday in Clinton. Alf Lockridge, WOAA busi- ness manager, beamed at the idea and will hold a meeting of the clubs in the near future to see what they intend doing. If this circuit should decide to go Senior "B". it has to declare itself to the O.H.A. by May 1. Senior "R" hockey for the WOAA would be something new for the organization. To our know- ledge, the highest class of hockey it has supported has been Int. "A" and lower. At first we thought the senior league would be out of the question but if the clubs in our present league all went higher, it would undoubtedly simplify the situation. We understand that Mitchell, Clinton, Ilder- ton and Exeter are definitely interested in the new setup and if two more teams, say from St. Marys, Lucan or Goderich, would enter. it would certainly make a ,comfortable setup. In Senior "B", the teams would be. allowed to bring in four more 'players to up their import total to eight. This would undoubted- ly strengthen the class of hockey presently being played. Buddo's idea is to have the whole league on the share -the -wealth plan and he feels if this idea is honestly kept by all clubs, huge financial sums from supporters wouldn't be needed. It certainly sounds concrete to us but the next problem is where the teams can dig up enough players, Dick Pincombe of the Strathroy Rockets, who must have a money -making machine going for him, says that Exeter and Ilderton can't afford such a high class of hockey. Looking at the way Strathroy is pay- ing their players with such enormous chunks of cash, we'd say it was impossible too. However, it would certainly Make the work -horse artists sit up and take notice in the present Senior "B" setup if this league did get under way with the share -the -wealth plan throughout the entire loop. We'd like to see it done. WHO'S PAYROLL IS BIG JIM ON? Jimmy MacDonald, one time regular forward and now sub goaltender of the Exeter Moha‘vks, turned up in a new role Friday night in Exeter 'as he donned the pads for the visiting Lucan Irish hockey club when "Jake" Barnes, regular netminder, failed tp appear. Jimmy, who has wanted to get into a game for some time, was taken completely by sur- prise when approached for the Irish netminding ee chore. Without hesitation he slipped into all the goaltending paraphern.a. ha and stepped onto the Exeter ice facing his one tirne protectors. The first eee• ee, real good scoring chance for Exeter carne when e .7' "Heidie" broke in on 'es him and blasted one a good six feet wide of the net. "I wasn't really scered when I saw him corning," Jim told us, "because he usua 11 y shoots wide in practise so I stood and listened for the crack on the backboards!" We recalled another occasion in the second period when "Obie" broke right in on top of him for three straight shots and didn't score. Mac's reaction to the question came out in this manner. "Obie really threw a good deke rny way and it I'd have been. like most goalies, I would have fallen for it. I didn't because I was too scared to move so he shot right at me twice and sent the third one wide of the net. I never worried about the goal posts because they never seem to go in for us (Exeter) anyway. I really enjoyed that game. Had trouble finding the Lucan defence in front of me a few times but they always turned up to help me take the puck out of the net." Is Jim going to take any chiropractic treat- ment for his back after taking 19 goals out of the net? Not on your life! And he doesn't have to go South like Al Rundle and Bill Pincombe to get his sun tan. He's cleaning up in the fastest, cheapest and healthiest way possible, and it does look good from his speculative standpoint. He draws an income from the Irish and Mohawks and gets his sunburn free of charge with the red light going on behind him so cften. How about that! Seriosuly though, Jim should be commended an the way he handled himself it the Lucan net, De- spite the fact 19 goals got by him, he stopped more Tubber than they produce at Dominion Rubber in a clay. Perhaps one of these times, he'll show up in the Tight uniform and play for the right team to really baffle the fans. JUNIOR BOWLING LEAGUE POR EXETER? Exeter Bowling Lanes are off on another ad- venture in an effort to help bowling development in the area. This Saturday morning they hope to get a Junior Bowling League formed for boys and girls ranging from 9.16 years of age. Practically every city in the country is high on junior development and to ns, it sounds like •a concrete idea to get the young- sters in this area enthused and create better bowlers for the future. This is going to be an all-out effort in an at- tempt to get the new league started. In fact, the Brat major step has already been taken. A carload of dtithused bowlers made a special trip to the Star Bawling Clink at Sheas Bowling Alleys in Toronto Monday to receive •special instruction. Ruth Durand, Dot Aintree, 011ie Essery and Gert Seat were the friar ladies present and they intend to rule an in- etruttlen school for the beginners in the Exeter firtIrliOr League. Mabel McDewell, •one time Canadian five -pin champion, showed the Exeter representatives the finer points of the game. We'll probably get shot /or mentioning this, but our own Dot Munroe beat the Canadian cliarnp lii on Of the gaine8 when the Jim MacDonald • Tribe, Cats Open Playoff's_ Saturday; Red Devils.

Oddly enough, Lucan scored the first goal of the. game at the 30 second mark but from there on, it was an Exeter display. When the firing had ceased, the final statistics showed that the tribe picked up 42 scoring points to their credit. The line Of "Red" Loader, Oberle and 'Boom Gravette collected 22 of the points to move them into contention for the loop's scoring honours. Bill Oberle and "Boom" came out as top dogs in this one as each picked up eight points. "Red" Loader fired four goals and figured in two others. In actual goal scoring, Larry Heideman and Loader were the top snipers with four each, Bob Baynham and Bill Oberle each chipped in with a "hat -trick" while "Boom" sank two. Single tallies went to Jim Russell, Gib Sabourin and Bob Gauthier. Lucan's Don Fletcher fired two of the Irish goals with Steve Storey, Harry Wraith and Don Lankin registering one each. Mohawks took a 54 lead at the end of the .first period, added eight mare in the second and then wrapped up twelfth victory of the season as against two losses with six third period markers.
