The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1959-03-19, Page 4NO 4 The. TirrietAtivocatet Batch 19, 151.9 By 0114 "COTTON" BATTEN " Pinch-hitting for Oon "Boom Boom" Oravett We received several comments about our oluniti last week, but despite them we're going to ..try again. We do'have good news for readers though: ve are happy to report that "Boom Boom has re- turned from the hospital and is making a speedy re- covery. He should be back pounding out this column for his readers in the very near future. (Better hide those right 5's, Jim.) • First off we would like to doff the old ehap- eau to two more champions who represent Exeter • in the sporting world. Bob Osgood and his crew of bowlers brought this town the inter -town cham- • pionship last week when they downed the powerful Fergus Black and White's, The two teams played a total of 20 games, and when all the Shouting was done, Exeter was declared the champion by a mere 115 pins. Actually the team never hit stride until the , playoffs. They were handicapped all season by not •• being able to get their players all out. However ; they really went to town in the playoffs and certain- ly deserve a lot of credit. We can imagine in a close *; Series like 'the Fergus round, even Ossie didn't al- ways call the pins by their numbers. (You cowarcil.) District pee wee teams who are prepping for the big Goderich tournament that comes ff during the Easter holidays competed in two area tourna- ments over the weekend. Exeter all-star pee wees beat everybody in sight when they copped the highly coveted Bank of Commerce trophy in Mitchell.'The local crew had to win three games to be declared champions, but Lloyd Cushman, Jim Glover and Alvin Willert reported they looked better each time thy came out on the .• ice. The kids started to play at 9:00 a.m. and started their final game exactly 12 hours later. With this • fine showing, the Exeter entry should be heard from when the big tourney rolls around at Goderich. Although none of the district teams entered in the Shamrock tournament in Lucan managed to win the trophy, they certainly gained some prestige • by having two players chosen as the best individual players in the tournament. Richard Stade, a fearless goalie from Zurich, was picked as the best in his field, while Craig Chap- ! man, a smooth -playing defenceman, was chosen the best all-around player in the tournament. It was no fluke that these boys got the nod as the tourney's best, as a couple. of fellows in the persons of King Clancy and Hank Goldup were on the panel of judges. Two former NHL players, these two were very impressed with the tournament and • the calibre of players who participated. • King Clancy told us he was very happy to see so many kids able to take part in a tournament of this nature. He said he never heard of very many cases of juvenile delinquency in boys who were • athletically inclined, and who had the opportunity to participate in sports. Hank Goldup added that he • wished they would have had organized hockey like that when he was a kid. "We used to have this many kids playing," he stated, "but they were all playing at the same time." It was just a case of "survival of the fittest" he added. (If his present size is any in- dication of his stature as a kid, we imagine he did alright for himself.) When the Lucan Leprechauns skated *onto the ice for the final game of the tournament, Clancy quickly exclaimed, "Wow! Look at those Irishmen! I have to take this team!" We Can only imagine that there must be a few• red faces down Lucan way these days. Lucan midget hockey team officials refused to play on the "mud and water" in Zurich in their Ontario semi- finals. The Lucan officials had to call off their home `game on Monday, and the reason . you guessed it . soft ice. Touche, Harold! The Belleville Macfarlands did exactly what •most experts predicted they would . . won the world amateur hockey tournament. Although they dropped their final genie to Czechoslovakia, they won the title by virtue of their superior goal record. The Canucks downed Russia 3-1 on Wednesday, and knew they had to be beaten fairly soundly by the Czechs to lose the crown. The Czechs, who were disappoint- ing throughout most of the tourney, played. a tre- Mendous game to down the weary Canadians. We imagine over confidence played its part in the loss, but as Ike Hildebrand, coach of the Macs, said, "We came here to do a job and we did it". The Czechs, figured the Canadians were really "off their rocker" when they pulled their goalie to try to score with an extra forward. They had occasion to laugh when they shot the puck into the open net to give them a two -goal margin. The old playoff jinx of Exeter Mohawks—in- Juries—hit the tribe in their last series with Mitchell. Besides "Boom" who was injured in the third game, the Mohawks came out of the fourth game with no less than three more injuries. Keith Stephen sus- tained a broken wrist when he was dumped in the second period, and Red Loader suffered a badly sprained wrist when he was carried into the goat pest. Larry Heideman had a case of blood poisoning, when dye from his hockey gloves entered a small cut on his finger. He sustained the cut while cath- ing a puck, Red continued to play, while Heideman Missed the first Forrest game. Stephen is still but of the lineup but is expected back shortly,.
