The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1961-10-26, Page 6e:ti The i"ime0 eleeeate,. October 244 1901 COTTON COMMEr I 8U14, :BATTEN, 4par't* ,aditpr WILl NEED $QMl` HBI t r� .��11 sin The at�notlncenlent that Exeter will again have an interitlediate hockey team will meet with appraval from. the he old, stalwarts who enjoy watch-. ing the locals in action, but it should also .create rebirth for the popular sport in this area. Over the past few years, when Exeter eras int orcin • layers front all seetions of the coulitry, P gplayers p eo ple stayed away in droves, despite the fast. this s Was top notchhockey. Most of these people claimed they didn't go to. the arena because they didn't know the players on the Exeter team, and weren't interested in sup. porting an import team, We can see where this at- titude may be justified, but it will be a different story this year. . ry th yea The Exeter team will be strictly a homebrew outfit, enlisting the services of pucksters from Ex- eter and the surrounding areas. Players will only be allowed to play for Exeter if it is the closest town for which they are eligible to play. All local players will be given a chance to vin a spot on this club and they won't have to from coni- '. I. pate with the usual. long list of top players f other centres. Naturally, this won't produce as good a team as we have had in the past, but there are several good youngsters in town who should put up a good brand of hockey, now that they will have a chance to prove themselves, The formation of this elub was due mainly to the untiring efforts of Don "Boom Boom" Gra- vett. He canvassed all the players in the area to make sure they wanted a team and then talked several supporters into forming an executive. Neil Campbell, Ted Chaffe and Harry /Others all served on last year's booster club and carried most of the load along with one or two other members. If they continue to give of their time as they have in the past, things should run smoothly. They will be helped by Stan Whiting, one of the most faithful of Exeter's supporters in the past. We haven't heard how they propose to raise some funds to get this club rolling, but we trust that hockey fans will give them their complete support. The expenses will be down considerably to what they have in the past, so if everyone gives a bit is should go a long way. SHOULD BE GOOD LEAGUE Although the entry deadline hasn't been reached yet, the teams that appear to be joining should provide for a good league that will make for close competition and rivalry. Centralia and, Clinton airports are back in the fold after a few years absence and will be welcomed starters. F;'0 Norm Poire is handling the organization work at CE and we know he will do a good job. His counterpart in Clinton is F/0 Dick Allan, who has been the big push behind organizing the league. Lucan-Ilderton Combines will be one of the stronger teams in the grouping, with many of their players back from last year. With names such as Collings, O'Neil, Scarborough, Urbshott, Storey, Wraith, etc., etc., it will keep the other teams jump- ing to keep up with the Irish. The other possible entries include the 2nd B.CRC from London, Seaforth and Forest, This will make a compact league, without any long hauls, and we feel fans will be well satisfied with the calibre of play. However, all these teams are operating on limited budgets, and so the fans will have the final say as to whether or not it will be successful, PLENTY OF ACTION HERE With. Centralia and Exeter intermediate squads and the Exeter junior Hawks using the local ice pad, fans will be able to travel up to see hockey almost any night of the week. This will be a slight drawback for all three squads, but should be a boon to fans, They will naturally give their main support to the team that puts on an all-out effort every time they are on the ice, and if the teams realize this, they will strive a bit harder to keep their fans. So you'll have to hustle fellows. BATT'N AROUND — During a trip to our old alma mater (Ryerson institute of Technology) for homecoming, we watched the Rams inaction acid one of the players who did his share in help. ing them to win was Keith Hodgins, a former SH. Panther from Centralia , . , We understand that brie party of moose hunters found game so scarce in the North Bay district that one member took to fishing to put in time. Unfortunately, he didn't have any better luck, but we don't see how he could expect to when all he was doing was swim- ming around and trying to catch them in his hands. We suggest that next time he would be wiser to at least take along the spurs he uses for climbing Bell Telephone poles.
