One of Exeter's minor hockey
clubs has survived the first round
of Ontario Minor Hockey As-
sociation play-offs while two oth-
ers have been put into the dis-
card.
The local midgets coached by
Terry Bourne ran roughshod over
Lambeth winning a two-game to-
tal goals series 20-0. The Ex-
eter pee wees were on the short
end of a 6-4 score in a similar
two game series with another
Lambeth club and the bantams
received somewhat the same
treatment by a 7-4 count.
The Exeter midgets now move
against Stoneybrook in another
two game set. The first game
was played at the local ice house
last night, and the return game
goes in Strathroy Sunday evening
at 6 p.m.
MIDGETS ROMP
The midgets had little trouble
with their Lambeth opposition
winning at home 13-0 Wednesday
and again applying the whitewash
brush 7-0 in London, Saturday.
In the London contest Bill Fair-
bairn led the local scoring attack
with a hat trick performance.
John Loader checked in with a
pair, while Jim Hayter and Larry
Laye added singles.
On home ice in the opener,
Fairbairn was again the scoring
leader, hitting the mark on no
less than four occasions.
The local bantams dropped the
first game on home ice, Wednes-
day, by a 4-2 count after staying
even for more than two periods
and were edged in London 3-2.
In the away contest, the Exeter
boys fell behind in the first period
and were never able to catch up.
Jim Guenther and Steve Murley
were the marksmen for the Lorne
Haugh coached youngsters.
On Exeter ice in the first tilt,
Reg Thomas scored all four Lam-
beth goals. He counted twice in
each of the second and third
periods to salt away the victory.
Jim Guenther andSteveMurley
also counted the Exeter markers
in the series opener. The former
scored the neatest goal of the
night on a crisp passing play with
John Guenther and Larry Haugh.

There will be no hockey this
Saturday morning due to pre-
parations to be made for the
Centennial Hockey Day starting
at 1:00 o'clock.
This 's a new venture for the
Exeter Minor Hockey Assoc-
iation to run a program after-
noon and evening and using the
Jr. Hawks in an exhibition game
as the feature attraction.
The opposition for all six
games will be teams from God-
erich. The Jr. Hawks vs God-
erich Siftos game can be used
as a measuring stick to com-
pare the Shamrock Jr. "C" group
with the Central Jr. "C" group
of which Goderich is a member.
The winner of the Shamrock
group will be meeting the winner
of the Central group as they
advance in OHA competition. The
Exeter Jr. Hawks, if they re-
main without injuries, should be
favorites to win this group title
and advance to the next round
against the Central winner, So
all in all this should be one of
the best games of the season.
In saying the Jr. Hawks game
is the feature attraction it is
not my intention of belittling
the Novice, Pee Wee, Bantam,
Midget and Mites who play in
that order starting at 1:00 o'-
clock.
The brand of hockey played
by these minor teams is a pleas-
ant surprise to those attending
for the first time as the calibre
of hockey has risen sharply in
the last years,

play.
In the extra session the London

the Exeter ship. All four goals in
regulation time were scored in
the first ten minutes of the open-
ing period.

The conduct of several members of the Exe-
ter junior Hawks at Friday's home game has again
stirred up many local hockey fans, including our-
selves.
The eruption of tempers occurred in the very
first exhibition game of the season and has been
quite frequent in regularly scheduled Shamrock con-
tests.
The local club has drawn far more than their
share of game misconduct penalties to date this sea-
son. Game misconducts call for a fine of $10 or a
one-game suspension. If this becomes a habit, the
penalties increase to as much as $20 or two or three
games on the sidelines.
The sponsoring body of the local minor hock-
ey setup, the EMHA, have paid more than $100 in
fines to date in order to keep the players from being
suspended.
Although Friday's uprising occurred midway
through the game and didn't call for game ejections,
the type of misbehaviour was identical. Three Hawks
were in the penalty box at the same time in the last
home game for the same offence, flaunting the ref-
eree's authority. This included using foul language
and throwing sticks and helmets in the air in dis-
gust.
In most cases, the decision of the club to pay
the fines has had little sobering effect on the play-
ers' actions, This is actually condoning their be-
haviour and certainly doesn't place any hardship on
the pucksters. "If the team pays our fines, what
harm does it do us," seems to be the attitude taken.
The only logical solution seems to be to re-
fuse to pay the fines and have the guilty parties sus-
pended for a few games. We know that at least two
of the local minor hockey executive are quite em-
phatic about discontinuing their present policy.
Suspensions would certainly be costly with
playoff time approaching but may be the only an-
swer.
Let's look at the situation realistically. A lot
of the trouble has been blamed on poor refereeing.
We can't go along with this line of thinking. Sure,
at times there are cheap penalties called but this
usually applies to both teams in any• game. The of-
ficiating may not be the best in the world, but it is
just as good as the playing.
Any player in any league anywhere makes an
occasional mistake and the officials are human, too.
The referees in question in the local league spend at
least four hours away from their homes for each
game 'and receive eight dollars for their chores, plus
travelling expenses. Surely it isn't money that keeps
them coming back to take more abuse.
There are two main reasons why these nu-
merous acts of misconduct should be halted. The
safety of the fans and the influence on the younger
spectators must be considered.
In several instances this year, players have
deliberately shot the puck against the boards after
receiving a penalty. On one occasion the rubber
went into the crowd, but fortunately no one was hit.
To the adult fan, the behaviour of the players
in "spouting off" is mostly disgusting, but to the
youngsters this is a different story, There 'are lots
of young boys at all home games and to those the
Hawks are real heroes. The conduct of the juniors
will certainly be a big influence on the many young
minor players who watch. This was borne out Satur-
day morning when a member of the novice house
league threw his stick against the boards when called
for a penalty.
A reminder to all members of the Hawks —
Just remember, fellows, a lot of youngsters are
watching and looking up to you. They are at an im-
pressionable age. You are setting an example for
them. Let's make it a good one. This should also ap-
ply to the fans. Although this is for the benefit
of a very small percentage of the spectators, there
are a lot of "little ears" around. If you can't play a
SPORT, at least BE ONE.
A FULL DAY OF ACTION
The local observance of minor hockey week
is being held Saturday in co-operation with RAP as
a centennial observance. Area hockey fans will cer-
tainly get plenty of opportunity to watch the stars
of tomorrow in action. All of the minor clubs spon-
sored by EMHA will be displaying their talents
throughout the full day of puck chasing. A full pro-
gram of six games continuing through the afternoon
and evening has been arranged. Six Goderich teams
will be in town to do battle with all of Exeter's or-
ganized minor squads.
The schedule gets going with a novice game
at one o'clock and the pee wees will be performing
an hour later, At the conclusion of the second game,
while the ice is being flooded, fans will have a
chance to move outside and watch snowmobile races.
Jim Newby, winner of a similar event at Hensall's
Winter Carnival last week, will be on hand to take
on all challengers.
Back to the rink and at about 3:30, the local
bantams will be tackling their Goderich counterparts
with midget clubs from the same towns following
with action that will carry on until near six o'clock.
After a one-hour break for supper, the youngest of
the minors will be out and winging. These are the
seven and eight year old mites and are coached by
a couple of Hawk juniors, Larry Willert and Gary
Parsons.
The wind-up game of the big day will bring
together the Exeter Hawks and Godericb. Siftos in
exhibition junior play. Both clubs are competing in
"C" category and it will be interesting to compare
their strengths. The Hawks are currently in third
spot in Shamrock play and the Goderich boys are
two games down to "Boom Boom" Gravett's Hanover
Hurricanes in a first round league playoff.
Tickets are now on sale for Saturday's com-
plete hockey day and will allow entry to any or all
games. Adult passes for one dollar and children for
50 cents will allow the holder to come and go as he
or she pleases throughout the six-game schedule.
This is your opportunity to not only see top-
notch hockey but a chance to say "thank you" to the
coaches and managers who spend many hours dur-
ing the winter in helping the youngsters. And the
boys themselves will be happy to see you at the
arena. It may be your son, grandson, brother, cousin,
nephew or a neighbor's boy, but you will be glad
you came. 88
