Doug Patterson, Ray Morgan and John Steele were on the 4r- ing end of the successful Ahrin- stg4 shots. Penalties played a big part in the second period scoring. The third Alvinsten by Steele was gained with a Hawk resting in the penalty box while the next two Exeter goals count- ed by Scott Burton and Bill Fair- bairn each came with a Flyer sitting out a two minute sentence. Burton's goal was on a neat, ef- fort as he broke in alone from the blueline after being set free on passes from Bill Chipchs.se and Larry Willert and drew the goalie neatly out of position to flip the puck into the net. Fairbairn's tally came on an- other fine play as he was set up by Burton and Chipchase and made no mistake in blinking the red light to tie the score at 3-3. The temporary go ahead goal was fired on a low hard drive by Larry Laye on an almost impossible angle from beside the net. Gord Mitchell came right back less than a minute later to again tie the score, Burton was johnny-on-the-spot at the 15.19 to steal the puck near the Alvinston net and beat McNeil with a quick shot to the bottom left hand corner. The hard working centre was back again at the halfway mark of the third period to fire what proved to be the winning goal on a play originated by Larry Willert. Less than a minute later, Les Tiplicky scored for Alvinston to cut the Exeter margin to 6-5. Bill Fairbairn's second goal of the night at 15.08 gave the Hawks the insurance goal they needed. Burton and Chipchase each pick- ed up their third assist of the night on the final scoring play. Glenn Stire who alternates with Jim Glavin in the Exeter nets turned in a solid performance and on many occasions kept his mates in the game.

Brampton draw a lot of attention during Easter holi- clays, a very im•portant tourney will be staged at the .gxeter arena, next Tuesday. During the year, the all-star hockey teams from all towns receive most of the publicity, but the success of any hockey program depends on house leagues. These are the boys who will get their chance to reap a bit of glory in next week's Lake Huron. Zone minor tournament that excludes any all-star team members. Arena manager Alvin Willert, who is in charge of, the event, has received 13 entries in three classifi- cations from Teeswater, Clinton, CFB Clinton, St. Maus and Exeter, A total of 10 games have been scheduled for the day and will run continuously from eight in the morning until six at night, Boys playing in the local house league pro- gram are asked to read Willert's Rec News column in this week's issue of the T-A for full information as to team rosters and the times they will be playing. CHANCES ARE GOOD We know that one or two games do not make a series, but the performances of two district hockey clubs in playoff rounds are more than encouraging. The Exeter Hawks have taken a good lead m their best-of-seven final series with the Alvinston Flyers in the Bluewater junior "D" final. The even- tual winner of this series will move into the OHA semi-finals. One of the teams in contention for the pro- vincial "D" championship is the Mitchell Hawks and a goodly number of their playing personnel were in the stands Friday night to watch the Exeter-Alvin- ston game. Mitchell are slated to meet the winner of the Delhi-Caledonia series, but this set is now even at two games apiece and could stretch into next week. The other district team in the thick of play- off wars is the Crediton Tigers, currently one game up in the best-of-seven series with St. Clements for the. WOAA "D" championship. The Tigers downed the Saints 10-3 at the local arena Sunday night and will be travelling to Milverton for the second game Friday night with the third back in Exeter Sunday at 8 o'clock. The Crediton club is receiving good fan sup- port and will be running at least one bus to Milverton on Friday night. Anyone wishing to make the trip is asked to contact Bob Galloway or Russ Clarke. De- parture time will be 7:15. BEANTOWNERS ACCURATE A quick check of the shooting statistics in the National Hockey League offers a partial explanation for the excellent showing this year of the Boston Bruins. Although the Beantowners have slipped a bit since the loss of the services of their star defence- man Bobby Orr, they are fairly sure of making a play- off berth which is quite an improvement from last year's basement finish. Statistics released by Ron Andrews of the NHL show that Boston led the league in shooting accuracy in the first half of the schedule and that veteran left winger Johnny Bucyk was the most ac- curate individual. Bucyk fired 77 shots at opposition goalies in his first 37 games and 20 of the shots were success- ful, giving him a scoring percentage of 26.0, the high- est mark by any player in recent seasons. Also included in the statistical analysis were important goals and points by individuals, power play and penalty records, goalies won and lost marks and breakdown of team performances against clubs in bath divisions. All statistics were based on the first 37 games for each team rather than the first 222 games of the schedule, thereby giving a better basis for comparison. The runner-up to Bucyk in accuracy was rookie Bill Sutherland of the Philadelphia Flyers with 11 goals on 47 shots for 23.4 per cent. Only one other player who scored seven or more goals had a percentage of more than 20 per cent — Montreal's Dick Duff, who scored eight goals on 38 shots for 21.0 per cent. Completing the list of players in the Top Ten accurate shooting department were Doug Mohns of Chicago, Doug Roberts of Detroit, Brit Selby, Gary Dornhoefer and Ed Hoekstra of Philadelphia and Mike Walton and Norm Ullman of the Leafs, al- though the latter did his first half season playing with the Red Wings of Detroit. Their accuracy per- centage ranged from Mohns' 19.0 to Ullman's 16.7, Bobby Hull of Chicago, who earlier this sea- son became the highest scoring left winger in NHL history, repeated as the player taking the most shots, a distinction he has held for the last four years. Hull fired an even 200 shots on goal to score 28 goals, tops in the league at the midway point, to give him a scoring percentage of 14.0. Andy Bathgate, veteran right winger with the Pittsburgh Penguins, was next in number of shots on goal with 164. Two Western Division players led in the most shots taken in one game. Ken Schinkel of Pittsburgh and Leon Rochefort of Philadelphia each took 12 shots On goal in a single ganie, Schinkel scoring once and Rochefort failing to score. Bobby Hull had 11 shots in one game and 10 in each of three other con- tests. Others to take 10 shots in a game were Bath- gate, three times, and Ralph 13ackstrom, Kent Doug- las, Mike Walton and Mickey Redmond, once each. The leaders in important goals among players with seven or more goals to their credit were Paul Henderson, now with the Leafs with 11, Boston's Ken Hodge with nine and Lowell MacDonald and Cord Labossiere of Los Angeles With eight and seven goals, respectively,.. The importance of a goal is based on the fol- lowing analysis at the time the goal was scored re- gardless of any Subsequent scoring: first goal of a gable; a score-tying goal; a leading goal; an insurance goal that puts a team two goals ahead and an ap. proximate score which moves the losing team to with-, in one of tying the score, gameiwinning goals which aren't always tn. portant, Stan Mikita of Chicago led with Six while Ray 'Cullen of Minnesota and Toronto's Mike Walton had five each.
