The best previous record of a senior representative of the local school was in 1956 when they defeated Wingham 16-11 to win the Perthex title but lost to Sarnia St. pats in the Purple Bowl final at London. The panth- ers of that year lost only their first and last games of the season. Wingharn defeated Goderich Vi- kings 7-1 In Tuesday's semi-final contest to earn the right to meet the Panthers in the final. The lo- cals downed Central Huron of Clinton 33-12 to gain a berth in the final. Coach Bogart and four of his charges took in the Wingham- Goderich game Tuesday after- noon and will have some idea of what to expect from the opposi- tion. The Panthers held a full scale scrimmage Wednesday afternoon and will ease off a bit in another practice tonight, Thursday, and will go through a light work-out in game uniform Monday after school. Bogart reports the spirit of the boys is high and he expects a good performance from his club in the H-P final. Hairpins retain dart loop lead The Hairpins maintained their two point lead in first place in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league by gaining three points in Friday's weekly action and up- ping their season total to 22, The Turtles came up with a four point performance and jump- ed into a second place tie with the Dart Sharks with equal point totals of 20. Th6 Spares made the biggest gain of the week sweeping their five point set to move into fourth spot with 19 points. As is the case nearly every week a few changes resulted in the individual competitions. Annie Lawson has moved in front in the ladies high single division with a score of 130 and Bill Smith leads the men in number of games won with 10 victories. Gerald Lawson and Larry Estey continue in a deadlock at 140 for best in men's singles and Edna Dietz's 10 wins tops the ladies in the games won depart- ment. Last week's scores were: REC NEWS When expansion in the National Hockey league became a reality this year most observers predicted it would take up to five years before the new clubs would be able to compete on an even basis with the six established teams. This assumption may still be true but the way several of the western division teams have performed in their first cracks at the so-called superior clubs this very first season of interlocking play could be more than interesting. The most surprising performance to date has to be that turned in by the Los Angeles Kings. In a pre-season poll, 20 out of 24 hockey experts selected the Kings to finish last in the new western division of the NHL. In our predictions of a couple of weeks ago, we picked the Kings to finish first. The first 12 games certainly don't make a season but the Los An- geles club is currently in front in their section with 13 points. Our choice of the Kings was probably swayed a bit by sentiment with the presence of three par- ticular persons in the LOS Angeles system. First of all, Jack Kent Cooke goes into any venture with positive thinking that he can produce a winner. His coach Red Kelly will be instilling a winning spirit in his club which is the youngest of the 12 teams in the expanded league. Kelly was a member of the Stanley Cup cham- pion Toronto Maple Leafs for three of the four past years and is a keen competitor. The third key figure in the Kings' set-up is a veteran of the hockey wars, goalie Terry Sawchuck, who has been around the NHL since 1949-50 when he broke in with the Red Wings. When Jack Kent Cooke began drafting his players at the summer expansion meeting of the Na- tional Hockey League, they practically ridiculed the owner of the Los Angeles Kings. "What a bunch of minor leaguers," chortled one hockey man. "How can Cooke expect to win in the NHL with so many greenhorns? They'll murder him," offered another. Well, now three weeks after the start of the league's expansion season, Jack Kent Cooke is prob- ably doing a little chortling of his own. The Kings startled most of the experts with a 5-3 win over the Black Hawks right on Chicago Forum ice on October 22. Kelly's kids pulled the biggest upset of the season in Detroit Sunday night scoring four times in the last ten minutes of the third period to shoot down the high flying Red Wings 6-4. The Kings weren't the only upsetters of the weekend. The Philadelphia Flyers took three out of four points from the Montreal Canadiens in a Satur- day-Sunday twin bill and the St. Louis Blues edged the Red Wings 3-2. In the Montreal 4-1 loss Saturday it was a case of the fellows that got away that came back to do all the damage. Leon Rochefort, drafted from the Habs in the summer meetings, scored three times to lead the attack for Bud Poile's Philly crew. By ALVIN WILLERT We have 56 boys registered for Pee Wee hockey so this gives us a four team league with 14 players to each club. A few changes will be made to keep Minor clubs sweep games Keeping Hawk goal clear The number of candidates for the goal tending position on the 1967-68 edition of the Exeter Hawks has been cut to two. Above are Glenn Stire and Jim Glavin who have been showing up well in practices and will probably share the job. Representatives of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association got off to a flying start in their opening games of the Shamrock minor loop. Playing on home ice Wednes- day, the locals posted three wins against their opposition from Dorchester. The pee wees and bantams gained identical 3-0 wins while the midgets were victor- ious by a score of 4-1. The three clubs have a busy schedule ahead of them this week. They played host to Lambeth at the Exeter arena last night, Wednesday; travel to Ilderton Friday and make the return jaunt to Lambeth on Saturday. In the pee wee contest Perry Stover was the individual star as he scored all three goals in the 3-0 Exeter win. The bantam victory was a team effort as three members of the 14 years and under club shared in the scoring. Brad Klumpp, Larry Bourne and John Krampp were the successful Exeter marksmen. Again in the 4-1 midget win, the Exeter goals were scored in single fashion with Barry Bayn- ham, Larry Haugh, Randy Par- sons and Ron Janke blinking the light. (bos Orh • .1.•.11.• 1.

The first chance for the hometown fans to see the new edition of the Hawks in action will be Friday, November 17 when the Petrolia juniors will be in town. The name of the league has been changed from Shamrock to Bluewater but most of the entrants are the same. The only change from a year ago has Wallaceburg replacing Port Huron. Manager Bob Baynham and coach Terry Bourne have been putting the more than 20 candi- dates through stiff workouts and they should be in good condition for the opener. Following is the complete schedule of games involving the Exeter junior Hawks.

After the teams have played each other once and the final deals com- pleted we should be in for a great season of Pee Wee house league. The first game of the season pitted Jim Wildfong's Panthers against the Kings captained by John Vriese and it ended in a 3-3 tie. John Gould scored twice for the Panthers and Bill Web- ster added a single while the King counters were scored in single fashion by Mark Hearn, Robert Whilsmith and Bill Van Bergen. In the second game Perry Stov- er notched a hat trick and Paul Robinson added a pair to lead John Wuerth's Seals to a 5-0 win over Steven Harrison's Penguins. Because of his ability to score with ease in the Pee Wee house league Perry Stover will be mov- ed up to the bantam house league. This will be great news for the pee wee goalies. I would like to publicly thank Victor Fulcher, Larry Willert, Pete Mason and Randy Tieman for coaching the pee Wee teams. The novice game ended in a 1-1 tie with Howard Schenk scor- ing for Ralph Batten's team and Perry Pooley doing the honors for Ken Pinder's club. Ron Braid put the squirts and mites through a one hour session of skating, shooting and passing with a little scrimmaging thrown in. At 4 o'clock 32 bantams took to the ice and a rousing game resulted. If we had about 10 more boys in this age group four teams could be organized and this would break the monotony of playing the same team each week. So if there still are some boys of bantam age — 12 to 14 years of age who would like to play hockey we would be pleased to have them join. Games this Saturday: 8-9 Jim Wildfong's Panthers vs Steve Harrison's Penguins; 9-10 John Vriese's Kings vs John Wuerth's Seals; 10-11 novice, Ken Pinder vs Ralph Batten; 11-12 Squirts and Mites; 4-5 Bantams, Randy Preszcator vs Larry Bourne. After school skating tickets are on sale at the Arena for $2 with a guarantee of 40 hours of skating time available.

Fisher 713) 0 PLAYERS PICK THE STARS In the latest issue of the Sporting News, which is known as "baseball's bible", the all star teams as selected by the players themselves are listed. The players were not permitted to vote for any of their own teammates. Reflecting the close pennant race in the Amer- ican league, the three top teams did dominate the All-Star balloting, but instead of the Red Sox being first with the Tigers and Twins tied for second, the Tigers were the all-star team's leaders with three choices. The Red Sox and Twins had two each. With one exception, the eight regulars were the batting leaders at their positions. In the only de- parture from picking the leading batter, Harmon Killebrew was given the nod at first base. The Tigers getting the most votes in their posi- tions were catcher Bill Freehan, right fielder Al Ka- line and pitcher Earl Wilson. Kaline was chosen for the fourth time while it was a first for Wilson and Freehan. It took Freehan six full years as a Tiger before he made the grade. Jim Lonborg of the Red Sox, the AL pitcher of the year, received 141 votes and Wilson as second choice picked up 129. For some puzzling reason, Carl Yastrzemski, the American league player of the year, although chosen as the best left fielder, was not a unanimous choice, polling 187 out of 212 votes. Others making the charmed circle were Frank and Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles, Rod Carew of the Twins and the Angels' Jim Fregosi. In the National league, the name of Willie Mays was missing for the first time in 11 years, The other oddity was the fact the Pittsburgh Pirates placed three men on the mythical club despite the fact they finished in sixth place and were never in the pennant race. The world champion St. Louis Cardinals had two of their roster selected to the all-star club, first baseman Orlando Cepeda and catcher Tim McCarver. Of particular interest to Canadian fans, Chat- ham's Fergy Jenkins shared the pitching honors with Mike McCormick of the Giants. Incidentally, Jenkins is making a few winter appearances with the Harlem Globetrotters and will be with the clown basketball outfit at Treasure Island Gardens in London on No- vember 17. Although Mays was among the missing, Hank Aaron's name appears for the sixth time as the top NL left fielder. The Pirates placed their keystone combination of Gene Alley and Bill Mazeroski along with right fielder Roberto Clemente who won his fourth batting crown with a mark of .357. Others making the club were Jim Wynn of Houston in cen- tre field and the Cubs' Ron Santo at second base. A NAME COULD HELP With the expansion of the National hockey league giving about 120 more hockeyists a chance to show their wares, the number of referees and linesmen needed to handle the full schedule of 444 games has also increased. One of the new linesmen is' a fellow by the name of Ron Ego, so it can't be said he doesn't have one of the qualities that certainly would help in of- ficiating in the NI-114. Without ego it's a hopeless pro-fession, SR. BOYS & GIRLS KED(B. Moore 449) 3 CO (J. Ferguson 456) 2 ST (I. Orenchuck 431) 5 CC (D. Gifford 383) DY (B. Johnston 336) 5 AT (R.
