SPORTS By Ross Haugh. Jr. Hawks clip loop leaders New clubs get ready The Exeter Hawks, although holding down second spot in the Shamrock junior circuit, continue to show success against the league leading Dresden Kings. On Exeter ice, Friday, the Hawks downed the Dresden club 6-2, This was the third time In four starts, that the local juniors have showed their superiority over the front runners. Dresden have amassed a total of 32 points, five more than the second place Hawks. The other two "C" clubs, Port Huron and Point Edward follow in third and fourth spots with respective point totals of 23 and 16. Four members of the Exeter club are among the tpp ten scorers in the junior loop. Three of them lead in individual sec- Minors take clean sweep A clean sweep of a Shamrock tripleheader was accomplished by Exeter's three minor clubs at the arena, Wednesday, down- ing the Lucan youngsters. The local pee wees opened the three game evening with a 3-1 victory, the bantams eked (tut a 6-5 decision and the mid- gets were triumphant 4-0.

Zone sports of- ficers Vic Lowery of Gat and Chuck Wood of Seaforth along with local president Stan Frayne and sports officer Howard Holtzman made the presentations. Lee Learn, an enthusiastic local curler and Legion member was co-convenor of the district bonspiel, the first time it has been sponsored by a s m all branch. The availability of ice at the Exeter and Centralia clubs enabled the local branch to host the 24 rinks that entered the bonspiel. n etner's GUN SHOP dealer far REMINGTON, COOEY CIL, WINCHESTER, SAVAGE, ITHICA, MARLIN, MOSSBERG, STEVENS & MACHINE LOADERS Ammunition, Scopes, Gun Cases, Loading Equipment & Used Guns Evenings Only Mon. to Fri.

Chapman has 39 assists, tops in the helping hand division, and ry Parsons has scored 35 times to tie Roy Boyes of Dres- den as the top marksman. Alvinston Indians will be in town Friday night to do battle with the Hawks at the arena at 8.30. Friday's game here, result- ing in a 6-2 Hawks win over Dres- den, was the best played game of the season. Play continously ranged back and forth with both teams coming up with good pas- sing plays. Play was much closer than the score would indicate with Tom Glavin in the Exeter nets coming up with many fine stops to keep his team out in front. The Hawks scored three times in the first period without a reply from the visitors to put the 516 fans in a good mood. Exeter were assessed 11 of the 16 penalties called throughout the game, but only one goal came when the clubs were shorthanded. Hard working Rick McDonald opened the local scoring at the seven minute mark of the opening session, finishing off a passing play with Grant Walker and Peter Lawson. Bill Chipchase upped the Hawk lead to 2-0 as he converted a.pass from Dennis Morrissey. Gary Parsons accounted for goal number three as he relayed Mike Cushman's flip-out into the Dres- den cage. The teams traded single goals in the middle session. Chipchase fired his second of the night with Morrissey and P a u 1 Young help- ing. Gary Webster notched the Dresden counter to spoil Glavin's bid for a shut-out. The League's leading point get- ter, Mike Cushman, fired the fifth Hawks' marker early in the third on a play started by Bill Bourne and Craig Chapman. Dresden's second and final marker came from the stick of their top scorer, Roy Boyes with five minutes left in the game. The last Exeter goal came on probably the nicest play of the night. Gary Parsons blasted in a slap shot from the blueline after line-mates Chapman and Cushman had worked the puck up the ice. COME FROM BEHIND The bantam contest was a see- saw affair from start to finish with first one team and then the other taking a narrow lead. Steve Murley hit the mark for Exeter and Jim Hearn re- taliated for the Irish to create a 1-1 tie at the end of the first period of play. In the second Steve English of Lucan and Larry Haugh of the hometowners traded early goals to keep the scoreboard even again. The Lucan boys broke ou t quickly later in the frame to score twice in five seconds to take a 4-2 lead to the second rest period. English and Hearn each came back with their second successful shots of the game to provide the Lucan edge. The Exeter kids bounced back in the final frame and scored four times to go in front 6-4. Steve Murley checked in with his second goal, Larry Haugh com- pleted a hat trick performance and Pete Glover added a single to complete the Exeter scoring total. Jim Hearn fired his third of the night with only seconds remaining in the game to wind up the count- ing. All goals in the Exeter midgets 4-0 win over Lucan came while one of the teams was playing shorthanded. Bill Fairbairn scored in the first and second periods while one of his mates was spending time in the penalty box. Randy Parsons and Casey Plu mb completed the scoring while a Lucan player was cooling his heels in the sin bin.

The Seaforth foursome headed by John Patterson came up with convincing wins over opposition from Exeter, Guelph and Galt in Sunday's final play-off at CFB C entralia. The Patterson rink, that in- cludes Dave Cornish, Bill Ball and Gard Beuttenmiller, will rep- resent the district in the provin- cial finals at Sutton, February 16, 17 and 18. In addition to their trip to the finals, the Seaforth boys each received a bridge table and four chairs. The Exeter rink skipped by Lee Webber won their opening game Sunday by a 6-4 count over Guelph and were nipped in the second contest against Galt by the narrowest of margins. Trailing 6-5 on the last end and the Galt team holding shot rock, the last stone of the end tossed by Webber missed byless than an inch and that proved fatal for the locals. In the overall final competition, the Galt rink skipped by Jim Broomfield finished i n the run- ner-up spot. The Webber fink from Exeter comprising King McDonald, Ray Wuerth and Si Simmons chalked up four wins in the complete bonspiel and each member re- ceived a Stetson hat for their performance. The top four trophy awards were presented at the local legion Branch 167 after the actual curl- Rec loop tightens Falls chipped in with singletons. BOGART BEST A four- goal scoring display turned in by Ron Bogart led the Old Timers in their 9-3 romp over the top Crediton club. Five team-mates added single mark- ers to complete the winning total. Murray Brintnell, Bob Baynham, Fred Wells, Earl Wagner and Red Loader were the successful marksmen. Pat McKeever was tops in the feeble Crediton scoring machine, bagging a pair, while Fred Lamb notched the odd marker. as G & G win again It has finally happened after almost a year of deliberations. The power-that-he behind the present six National Hockey League clubs have decided the method to be used in stocking the six new teams under the expansion plan. Even at the last moment the new clubs had to make some concessions before the arrangements were completed. League president Clarence Campbell seemed almost embarrassed by the stocking plan. He is a good solid businessman and the league is extremely fortunate to have him. But in last week's meetings he was like a voice in the wilderness. The plan that nearly went through would have allowed the six old clubs to protect 10 players and a goalie. The new clubs would have selected two players each before the old boys would pick one back from their pool. As it is now, the old clubs may protect 11 players in the forward-defenceman bracket. The new claim one, then the old clubs claim one of their own and this goes on for two rounds. On the third round the new boys get to pick three players and after that the old boys claim one from their pool again. The one-and-one system then continues until the new clubs get 18 forwards and defencemen. By the time the six new clubs get to pick three straight, the 90 best puck chasers in the busi- ness will be unavailable. Or put another way, the six old clubs have protected 13 of their 15 best be- fore the new ones get a crack at three in a row. The general managers threw a wrench in the works of the plan that Campbell was beaming about Tuesday night. When their owners related the plan to them, their shrieks nearly shattered Mt. Royal. At the Tuesday evening news conference, Campbell said he expected to announce the formula Wednesday morning. Morning dragged to noon, noon to afternoon and afternoon to evening. The All-Star game, supposedly the showpiece of the two-day midwinter meetings, was lost in the shuffle. As the game turned out, that was fortunate. Campbell was honest about the whole situa- tion. He's not one to beat around the bush—the own- ers do that. "I've never heard of a generous general manager," he said. Nor, he said, was it ever considered or in- tended the new boys would be able to compete suc- cessfully against the present clubs the first year. But, at the same time Campbell said the new clubs playing in the western division of the NHL would have a crack at the 1967-68 version of the Stanley Cup. And you thought the Super Bowl was a super flop? Under the present setup, it'll probably look like the game of the century compared to next year's Stanley Cup finals. In regard to the stocking plan, the old teams justify it by comparing the formula to that used by baseball, football, basketball. In other words, trying to make three wrongs into a right. The owners of the new clubs took the deci- sions with good grace. Jack Kent Cooke called it a "statesmanlike way" of allocating players. What he probably meant was, "we knew we were going to get it and we did." The new clubs have no way of appealing the system and must go along with it the best they can. Officials of the new clubs will be busily en- gaged in the next few months scouting teams throughout the entire professional system deciding on what players they would be interested. In addition, they will be attempting to guess what players will be protected by each of the present six clubs at the draft .meeting to be held June 6. With at least 120 players being tied up by the new expansion clubs, the top minor pro leagues seem to be the ones that will suffer the most. This would take in the 16 teams that comprise the Western and American hockey leagues. The upcoming expansion of hockey at its highest level will certainly provide plenty of oppor- tunity for youngsters interested in a professional career, although this depends entirely on the ability of the lower minor leagues to stay in business with a "watered down" class of puck chasing. with an identical performance to help the Bankers. Two goals were fired by Doug McBride while Dave Collins and Craig Davidson added singles to complete the winners' total. Larry Stire was the Bankers' top sharpshooter, flashing the light three times in a losing cause. Jim Riissell was close behind with a pair of counters while Lloyd Moore and Pete Ma- The results of the latest games in the Exeter Rec hockey league have tightened up the standings. The Graham and Graham six proved their first win of the season a week ago was no fluke as they turned in a convincing 10-7 triumph over the Bank Boys in the second half of Thursday's doubleheader. In the other half of the weekly action, the Old Timers trounced the front-running Crediton Ti- gers 9-3. The reversal of form leaves the Crediton club in first place with 13 points, only one ahead of the second place Old Timers, The Bank Boys hold down third spot with a total of 10 points while the rampaging G&G outfit oc- cupy the basement with five points. The free scoring games of Thursday failed to create much change in the scoring race. Fred Lamb, in command of the goal scoring department, managed only one goal to up his season total to 23. Jim McDonald of Graham and Graham and Bankers' Larry Stire each collected a trio of goals to remain deadlocked in second spot with 19. Pete Mc- Falls is next with 16, while the big move was made by Ron Bogart of the Old Timers who scored four times to pull on even terms With Fred Wells at 14 for the year. IN FRONT EARLY Repeating last week's perfor- mance, Graham arid Graham soared in the early minutes of the first period and were never headed in chalking up their 10-7 win over the Bank Boys. The addition of former Hawk junior Craig Davidson to the Graham and Graham defence has allowed their top scorer Jim MO- Donald to move up front and he scored three times. Frank Clarke, a hat trick per- former a Week ago, was right back POOR TIMING The decision to change the date of the NHL all-star game from before the schedule starts to a mid-season break seems to have come at a most in- opportune time. Backers of the six new teams are doing their utmost to sell big league hockey to their patrons and Wednesday's game did very little to help. The allJstar game was shown on a network of 30 American stations and was beamed into five of the new areas. Only Pittsburgh missed the event be- cause •their AHL Hornets were playing at home. Incidentally, the game was shown in color, but it didn't seem to be "living." The only "life" put into the contest by the Stars seemed to come from Pat Stapleton and Gordie Howe, in addition to the goal- ies, who were very busy. Top performers like Mikita and Gilbert rarely went near a corner and coach Sid Abel said most of his club didn't skate hard enough to work up a sweat. The obvious reason for the inept showing of the all-stars is that they weren't taking any chances on being injured and spoil their clubs' chances in the play-offs, HAROLD MAKES OFFER ? With all his troubles in operating the hockey club at Springfield, Eddie Shore was offered a com- plete team from Western Ontario for a scheduled game against Baltimore Friday, if his players went on strike. Harold Ribson, now in 'charge of arena opera- tions at Wallaceburg and one-time arena manager in Lucan, offered to send a full team to keep the faltering Shore-ship afloat. In the days when hockey promoters are try- ing to dress up their hockey shows and make them more appealing to the fans, Shore should have ac- cepted the Babson offer. The Hornettes offered by Harold are an all- girls team and are the only undefeated team in Can ada at the moment.
