The Hawks are in for a busy time in the near future as they will see action six times in eight nights. The busy schedule starts with a trip to Dresden Friday night to meet the front running Kings. Saturday night will find the local juniors tak- ing part in Minor Hockey Day as they tangle with a group of former junior hockey competit- ors. Sunday will find the Hawks back in Alvinston to fill an en- gagement that was postpone d from a few weeks ago and Tues- day they will be on home ice to take on the Belmont Sunsets. Wednesday they travel to Blen- heim and Friday, February 16 play host to Dresden. The minor hockey scene was fairly quiet over the past week as far as Exeter teams partici- pating in the Shamrock league were concerned. League action was limited to a tripleheader at the Exeter arena Wednesday with Stoneybrook sup- plying the opposition. The usual full day of squirt activity at the Lucan arena was cancelled due to the bantam tourney that was held. Two of the local clubs con- tinued the same pattern they Tigers clinch WOAA title The Crediton Tigers, in their first attempt in WOAA inter- mediate "D" hockey, had little trouble in gaining the regular schedule championship. While they still have one game to play in Blyth Friday, their record to date of thirteen wins, a tie and only one loss assures them of first place. The only loss was suffered in Monkton Friday when they were edged 9-8 by the Wild- cats. Winning form was retained on Exeter ice Sunday as the Cre- diton club downed St. Clements Saints 7-3. playoff arrangements have not been finalized but the first ac- tion for the Tigers will be at the Exeter arenaSunday night at 8:30. MORRISSEY HOT Dennis Morrissey continues to be the top goal producer for the Crediton sextet as he scored four times in the loss to Monkton and came back with a hat trick per- formance in the latest win over St. Clements. The Monkton club held a one goal lead at the end Of the first and second periods and then tnov,- ed in front 9-5 by the halfway mark of the third period. A late Crediton rally that pro- duced three goals in the dying moments fell one short of tying the score, The other Tiger tallies were notched in single fashion by Glenn Overholt, Jim Morrissey, Paul CrOnyn and Fred Lamb. have followed for most of the year. The Exeter Legion ban- tams downed Stoneybrook 3-2 for their twentieth league win of the year while the hometown midgets gained a 2-2 tie, they eighth time this year they have split points with their oppos- ition. In the pee wee contest which opened the night's activ- ities, the Exeter kids were shut out 2-0. KLUMPP BAGS WINNER Brad Klumpp scored his sec- ond goal of the night with less than a minute to go in the game to give the Legion bantams their close 3-2 win. The other Exeter marker was fired by Randy Pres - zcator. While the midgets were held to a tie by Stoneybrook, they actually gained a moral victory as they played without three of their regular performers who were sitting out one-game sus- pensions. Tom Prout and Steve Murley were the Exeter goal getters. The first rounds in OMHA playoffs involving Exeter minor hockey teams have begun. The local pee wee and bantam teams were in St. Marys Wednesdayfor the first test in a best-of-three series. The second game of the pee wee series will be played at the Ex- eter arena tomorrow, Friday at seven o'clock with the first game of the Exeter-St, Marys midgets series following at 8.15. The return midget game will be in St. Marys February 14 with the balance of the dates to be arranged later.

The free- skating Hensall product scored two goals and contributed the same number of assists. The visitors were first to hit the score sheet taking advantage of an Exeter penalty in the first two minutes of play with Gord Mitchell registering. Chipchase put the Hawks on even terms at 12.05 of the same period on an unassisted effort and before the period terminated Craig Davidson and Scott Burton had found the mark to put the Hawks in front 3-2. Scoring in the second period was restricted to Mitchell's sec- ond tally of the night to keep the score close as the clubs headed for the second rest session. In the final period, Chipchase notched an insurance marker at 3.42 with help from Larry Willert and Mike Hoy. The latter complet- ed the game scoring past the midway mark, again with Wil- lert's assistance. Sharks widen dart margin The Dart Sharks have taken a commanding lead in first place in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league. Most of the season, only two or three points have sep- arated the top three clubs, but in Friday's action, the Sharks recorded four points to increase their season total to 59. The Hairpins follow in sec- ond spot with 53 points while the Cleaners and. Turtles are dead- locked for third spot. two points farther back. In the individual scoring de- partments, Bill Smith has moved into a tie with John Link for most games won for men with 24 While Edna Deitz leads the ladies with 14 wins to her credit: A top single score of 140 has been reached in both ladies' and mens' sections, Marg Wragg is holder bf the female mark while Larry Estey, Gerald Law- son, Bill Smith and Bob Wragg Share the same score for male competitors.

EXETER • A 1968 gion. bantams repeat Lucan puck tourney Week will be an important day for not only the Exe- ter Minor Hockey AssnCiation but the close to 200 Saturday's local observance of Minor Hockey youngsters who take part. As far as the FNMA is concerned it is the one day in the year when they can restock their treasury to operate the hockey program that gives house league ice time to all youngsters in Exeter and dis- trict from the seven-year-old mites up to the 15-year- old midgets. For the boys themselves it is the opportunity to show their parents, relatives and friends what they can do with a stick and puck. Adult admission for the day is one dollar and will allow a person to come and go anytime between eight in the morning and close to midnight when festivities will end. The day gets underway with regular house league pee wee play at eight o'clock and action will continue right through the day with only short breaks for lunch and supper. At one o'clock the local all-star teams swing Cop Legion curling honors into action with the novice club meeting Goderich. One hour later, the pee wees will tangle with Huron Winning curling bonspiels is becoming a habit with Robbie Robichaud of Centralia. The popular Huron East. After a short break for flooding the ice, the park curler joined three Exeter sweepers Saturday and won the first draw and the overall championship Exeter Legion bantams, who have suffered only one of the annual Exeter Legion curling bonspiel. The winners are from left, Bob Dinney, Robichaud, Doug Parsons and Eric Heywood. — T-A photo loss this season, will meet an "A" club from Sarnia.

While the ice surface will be the busiest spot in the arena, the auditorium will be close behind as far as action is concerned. After each game the moth- ers of the local all-star players will be serving sand- wiches to the hungry athletes. The minor hockey program operating here for Exeter and district youngsters does not need to take a back seat to any in the country but it does need our support. The best way to support the program is by buying a ticket for Saturday's big day. This starts a chain of events that really sup- ports the local project. First the money helps finance the program. Then the ticket induces us to attend, and our presence encourages the youngsters and those whose efforts are necessary to the success of the local leagues. Our support should not stop at encourage- ment. We should pay public tribute to the men and women who spend so many hours organizing and operating the many teams, giving our young boys the opportunity to learn our national sport. Out of this comes better bodies, healthier minds, better boys and better citizens. What greater reward can we hope for? MAY LICENCE FISHERMEN A recent announcement from the Ontario Min- ister of Lands and Forests suggests that the days of free fishing in this province may be limited. Rene Brunelle said in Toronto last week that he felt $3 would be a fair price for a licence giving Ontario residents the privilege to fish. At the mo- ment Ontario is the only province that does not charge a licence fee for local fishermen to indulge in their favorite sport, If the $3 fee is instituted possibly some time this year it would be a little above what most of the other provinces charge their residents. The lowest fee is the $1 now charged in Nova Scotia with Que- bec close behind at $1.10. Four provinces, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island charge $2 and Manitoba $2.25. In New Brunswick, residential fishing fees range from $2.50 to $5. Each province also has spe- cial fees for non-resident fishermen ranging from the $3 in P.E.I. to $25 charged in New Brunswick, Fisher- men from another province or country pay an On- tario licence of $6.50. In last week's statement, Mr. Brunelle said resident angling licences are a *logical response to mounting pressures for stepped-up fish management programs, acquisition of fishing rights on streams and the hiring of more conservation officers. "I be- lieve the people benefitting from such programs should be making some fair contribution to their cost," he said. Mr. Brunelle also recommended that the pres- ent $1 a year for gun licences be increased, to cover costs of administration, provide funds for new hunt- ing areas and improved management of existing areas. MORE NEXT YEAR There's more than a few changes in the wind for the National Hockey League next season and most are designed to bring the old and new closer to- gether in a complete interlocking schedule. The NHL, striving to place the expansion di- vision on an even keel with the established teams in the minds of hockey fans everywhere, notably in the United States, has decided on a I6-game sched- ule instead of this year's 74 for the 1968-69 cam- paign. By lengthening its schedule, the NHL is at- tempting to give the new teams a better feeling of solidarity both on the ice and at the box office. President Clarence Campbell said last week it was llTIAlliffiNglY agreed among the club owners that old teams woUld meet the expansion clubs six times a year, three at home and three away, instead of the cUrrent four contests, By J. E. BURT Two teams were able to defend their championships at Lucan's annual bantam tenrnarnent. held Saturday at the Lucan arena.

Delhi took the "B" consolation award with a 3-1 win over Huron East who had lost to St. Marys 4-2 in the first round. The "C" consolation trophy went to Salt- fleet on a 3-1 win over Mitchell. Saltfleet lost their opener again on shots on goal to LondonSouth- west after regulation play ended in a one goal deadlock. Ilderton whipped Ailsa Craig 8-1 to take the "D" consolation championship. In the other game of the day, Lucan blasted Ailsa Craig 10-2. PRESZCATOR PACES WIN Randy Preszcator was main- ly responsible for the Exeter Legion win in the "B" division as he scored five times in the two game series. The fast moving captain fired four goals in the opening 8-5 win over Delhi and notched the first counter in the final victory. Peter Glover was close behind in the scoring department, netting two goals in the opening round and coming back with the insurance tally in the nightcap. KRAUL LEADS IRISH The Lucan bantams had little trouble 'in their first test of the day, downing Ailsa Craig 10-2 with Allan Kraul's four goal ef- fort leading the way. Kraul was back to register his club's only counter in the "D" final. Lending plenty of support in the goal getting department was Jeff Park with a hat trick per- formance.

In Listowel Thursday, the lo- cal grapplers were thumped 45- 8 and on home ground Tuesday they were outpointed 39-20 by Central Huron of Clinton. Kevin McKinnon was the top performer for Ron B o gar t's squad as he decisioned Don Allen of Listowel in the 141 class and pinned Wayne Mayer of Clinton at 4.40 of their match in the 136 pound division. The only other South Huron win in Listowel came as the result of Bob Moore's pin over Dave McLeod in the 168 pound class. Against Clinton, Bill Cameron, wrestling at 90 pounds pinned his opponent while Don Jones and George Keller were declar- ed winners by way of forfeit.
