A I,INIMgNT SALESMAN'S DREAMI
Clarence "Punell" Foyle, undaunted by his
fe gm`s defeat to Exeter midgets last year, lies his
C)ldtimers prepping for another game this season.
In fact, Boyle has gone a bit farther off the deep
end tfigure of speech only) and has challenged
Exeter's bantams to the .annual evening :of fun
and laughs.
In an interview this week, Boyle stated that
his team found the midgets a bit too slow last
year and therefore has decided to tackle the young-
er, speedier bantam squad. "in all fairness to my
team, I think we should tackle a equacl who can
at least stay \vith us a bit," Boyle conunente_ d
(with tongue in cheek).
Naturally, as in any important game, coarli
Boyle would not name his starting lineup, but
promised, to have a team :that ca.n skate, shoot,
stickhandle and score goals with the best of them.
(He wouldn't say who he considered "the best of
them".)
However. no matter who lie lines up, if the
game is as exciting and laugh provoking as it was
last year. fans will certainly have ae enjoyable
evening. Some of the members of C'larence's squad
last year who are expected back (with a year's rest
they should be ready to go) include such local
favorites as: Gerry Smith, Wes Ryckman, Bud
Preszcator, 'Graham Mason (may have to miss his
turn as a "rear guard" due to a recent operation),
Al Smith, Derry Boyle (only made the team be-
cause he was a relative of the coach, Cy Creech,
Russ Snell, Lloyd Cushman, Doug and Har Brint-
tell, Reg McDonald, .Jerry Lawson, Tim Stires, Bill
and Ross Tuckey and Walter Westbrook.
Several curlers, who dropped their curling
brooms long enough to try the. shinney last year,
have declined offers for a return engagement with
the explanation that "skip Boyle won't get the ice
pebbled".
The big game is tentatively slated to take
place at the are:'a 011 Friday, March 24, so keep
the date open. The evening's program. will also
feature a broomball game between Exeter and St.
Marys Kinsmen, two minor games, featuring the
two top teams in the pee wee league and the two
wee wee teams. These youngsters, short an exper-
ience but long on desire, play a serious game of
hockey and if you are really looking for laughs
and thrills -a -minute then we'll see you in the
rafters,
THESE GUYS ARE .REALLY SCRATCHING!
Exeter's "Itchy Six", winners of the inter -
town bowling trophies last year, are making a de-
termined bid to repeat. At present, they hold a
comfortable 26 -point lead over their nearest rivals
and if they continue to hit with the same accuracy
as they have throughout the season, the "Itchy"
bunch should wrap up the season in first place
and be definite favorites to win all the honors
again.
Clinton's "A" team, who are in third place,
probably have some qualms about meeting the
Itchy' lads. In a game in the local lanes a couple.
of weeks ago, the locals carne up with one of their:•
best performances and whipped' the visitors by
1,000 pins in their five -game match.
Actually, it wasn't because Clinton bowled
so badly, but because the locals did so well. in
fact, Clinton's score would have been good enough
to beat five of the other eight teams in the league
on that particular Saturday afternoon.
However, Exeter started out with a respect-
able 1209 in their first game and as it turned out,
this "respectable" score was the least respectable
of the whole five when they were finished. They
rolled a couple of 1260 gauges split up by a 1228
and then completely flabbergasted their opposition
with a 1413 in the last game.
Bob Osgood paced the win with a 1330 total
for the day, while Jim Fairbairn and Boom Boom
Gravett were close behind with 1303 and 1290.
Jack Gibson rolled 1145. 40 more than. Bob Nicol,
and. Lorne Haugh rounded out the total with a
1081.
Actually, Clinton weren't the only people to
"get taken". Ross Tuckey, who offers a ease of
Pepsi for every game over 350, had to part with
three during the course of the afternoon, Ozzie
finished off the afternoon with a 388 and ;Jack
Gibson carpe up with a 360 iii the fourth match.
Bert White, Clinton's perennial all-star, took home
a case with a 386. (You know, some of those games
look like a few of the triples turned in by some
bowlers—present company included.)
BATT'N AROUND — Art Clarke, `Howard
MacDonald, Cal Wein, ' Bob Russell and Gerry
Carlipbell were among the 14,000 fans who jam.
meet Maple Leaf Gardens, Wednesday, to seethe
Leafs dump the Montreal Caraciiens 3.1. The five
ardent fans left Exeter with the hope of getting
standing room for the important game. They had
to line up at 5:00 pan, and stand in .line until the
doors opened at 7:00. And then, with "about a
million people"' raced up the escalators to jostle
for a preferred, spot behind the blue section. How-
ever, all five agreed it was wellworth it` , . . Bob
Russell returned with a very enthusiastic report of
the play of the Leafs' rookie netminder, Cesare
Maniago: "He kicked out at least five impossible
shots," Bob said, "and he was as cool as a cucum-
ber", Actually, Johnny Bower might get a little
extended time for his recent injury to heal if
Maniago continues with his superb play. In fact,
it could be a repeat of the performance in Mont-
teal, when Plante was injured and replaced by
Hodge. Charlie played so well that Plante had to
do a stint in the mirrors h fore getting his job
