T h e lone goal for Boston was scored by John Wuerth. The Mite sharp-shooters were at their best on Saturday with a total of nine goals scored. Billy Wilson scored five with Brian Horreil, Ralph Batten, Larry Johns and Perry Pooley scoring one goal each. Gaines this Saturday: 8-9, Can, adiens vs Maple Leafs; 0-10, Black Hawks vs Red Wings.

Fortunes of Exeter's three minor teams participating in Shamrock play took a turn for the better over the past week. In six games, the local clubs won four, tied one and were on the losing end on only one oc- casion. A tripleheader at the arena, Wednesday, saw the locals make a clean sweep over their Ilderton opposition, two of the wins being by shut out scores. The Exeter pee wees opened with a 2-0 win, the bantams con- tinued the scoreless pattern with a 5-0 decision and the midgets finished off the night, winning 14-2. In their latest action, at the Gardens in London, Saturday, the pee wees were on the wrong end of a 3-2 score to Stoney- brook, the bantams triumphed 2-1 and the midgets settled for a 3-3 draw. The three Exeter clubs had trouble in the dying minutes in London, Saturday. The pee wees jumped off to a 2-0 first period lead, but faltered in the final frame as Stoneybrook scored three times, the winning goal coming with but a minute to go. Parry Stover and Steve Har- rison banged in the early goals for the local club, now coached by Bill Gilfillan. The bantams also off to a quick start, were able to hang on for a 2-1 win, despite the fact they had two men in the penalty box in the final moments. Exeter goals were fired by Larry Haugh in the opening per- iod and Joe O'Rourke midway through the last session. As in the first two contests of the day, the midgets broke in front 1-0 in the first and were able to gain a 3-2 lead until the Stoneybrook boys notched the eq- while Jane Tuckey and Julia Hey- Wood chipped in with two points apiece. Pam Graves was a standout in the senior girls win, netting eight baskets and adding two free throws for an 18 point night. The eight point effort of Brenda Dinney was next best and Darlene Parsons added six. Four points from Judy Rath and a free throw tossed by Barb Elliott completed the local tallying. Centennial celebrations have started clear across Canada and the local area is no exception. The festivities New Year's Day in town certainly got the Exeter centennial effort away on the right foot, The broomball game at the arena pitting members of the town council against the centennial committee created a lot of interest. A goodly number of the population turned out at the arena to watch the grudge battle. In last week's issue, our editor made some comment as to the fast whistle of the referee in stopping a large number of apparent goals by the centennial team, of which he was a participant. He failed to add that on six or seven scoring chances when the whistle didn't blow, he missed golden scoring opportunities. On one particular occasion he was parked on or in the goal crease and the ball bounced off his person and just missed the corner of the net. We're certain if he had eaten a little more New Year's turkey or his beard was a little longer he could have made more impression on the direction of the ball and the score could have been different. The big sports contributions to the local cen- tennial program will be made during the month of February. Under the supervision of RAP, which consti- tutes the governing bodies of recreation, parks and arena, at least one major attraction a week is being planned for the month that the ground hog makes his annual appearance. Three definite events have already been fi- nalized. The annual figure skating carnival sponsor- ed by the local skating club will be held February 11 at the arena. This year's registration of youngsters has sur- passed all previous numbers and has necessitated an increase in ice time for the enthusiastic skaters. The carnival has been growing in size and in quality each year and the committee in charge is putting an extra effort forth to make this Centen- nial edition of the ice show the best yet. The young skaters have been hard at work since Christmas in preparing for this year's presen- tation that will be entitled "Colorama". All 96 mem- bers will be taking part in the show directed by the club's professional, Mrs. Faye Love. Mrs. Mary Holtz- man is the president of the Exeter skating club for 1967. Arrangements are now being completed to bring in a couple of guest skaters from other clubs in Western Ontario. With the entire thinking of the country being toward Centennial, the feature number of the carni- val will be a "salute to the future" with 26 skaters participating. FULL DAY OF HOCKEY The Saturday after the carnival the Exeter minor hockey association is planning their biggest event of the year. February 18 to be exact will bring out all the competitors, large and small, in the local minor hockey program. At least six games are being planned for the Saturday afternoon and evening. Starting at one o'clock, four games will be played throughout the afternoon. Four Goderich teams, novice, pee wee, ban- tam and midget will take on the local all-star repre- sentatives in the afternoon contests. In the evening at seven, a team of seven and eight year olds, known as the "mites", will show their talents against outside competition, probably also from Goderich. To wind up the full day of hockey, the Exeter Hawks will be in action at 8:30 against a topnotch club. Attempts are presently being made to have the Goderich Siftos of the Western junior "C" loop sup- ply the opposition, but this hasn't been confiimed. Tickets are being printed this week and will then go on sale to the public for this big day of puck chasing. Tickets will be one dollar for adults and fifty cents for children and will allow spectators to come and go as they wish throughout the afternoon and evening. GYMNAST SHOW CANCELLED The exhibition of top flight gymnastics, sched- uled for the SHDHS gym, Saturday, has been post- poned. The show, featuring members of the Canadian Armed Forces in training to qualify for the Canadian squad for the 1968 Olympics, is expected to be held some time in February. When the top flight program is held, about 20 athletes will display their abilities in gymnastics, judo, wrestling and arm-to-arm combat.
