The Tigers downed the Gorrie Red Wings 7-2 at the Exeter arena Friday to take the WOAA "D" grand championship in three straight games. They had pre- viously ousted the St. Clements Saints in seven games to take the "D" Major title. Crediton are now meeting Mil- verton, WOAA "C" winners in a best-of-seven series for the WO- AA grand championship. Milver- ton took the first game on home ice Monday by a 7-2 count. The second game of the series will be played in Exeter tonight, Thursday, with the third in Mil- verton Saturday and the fourth back in Exeter Monday night. All games will start at 8:30. The Crediton club as "D" champs have the right to addfour players to their roster from clubs within their own seasonal grouping. Manager Bob Galloway and coach Scotty Regier have picked up Craig Chapman, Earl Wagner, Jim Pfaff and George Suplat of the Zurich Flyers to aid in the battle against Milver- ton. The playing coach of the Mil- verton club is Tom Collings who is well known as a former top flight puck performer with the Lucan-Ilderton Combines of a few years ago. SHORT HANDED In the opening game of the final series in Milverton Monday the Crediton club was forced to go without five of their regulars due to various reasons. Manager Galloway said "when we get back to full strength along with the Zurich additions we have a good chance of bringing home another trophy." The added strength from Zur- ich played a great part in Credi- ton's meagre scoring total in the opener. Earl Wagner and George Suplat assisted on the first goal scored by Dennis Morrissey and Craig Chapman fired the other marker on a power play with the passing help of Wagner. MORRISSEY SINKS GORRIE Dennis Morrissey took on the job of eliminating Gorrie single Two minor clubs win group titles The hockey season ended on a happy note for two Exeter minor hockey clubs as they won cham- pionships in the ShamrOck minor hockey leagte.

Hard working Jamie Robb nab- bed the other two Crediton count- ers while Brian Sanderson and Don Gibson were the only visit- ors able to put the puck behind Tom Glavin in the Crediton nets. During one of the intermission sessions Glavin received a trophy as the most valuable player on the Crediton roster during the seas- on. The quality of play in the Ex- eter and district Rec hockey league and a similar play-for- fun loop in Zurich seems to be on a very even basis as the re- sults of the first two games of the South Huron Rec final would indicate. The Dashwood Bears, winners of the Zurich league downed the Exeter Bank Boys 6-5 in the opener Thursday and the Bankers came back with a close 8-7 win Sunday to square the series. The third and deciding game was played at the Exeter arena last night, Wednesday. RIGHT TO THE WIRE Play in Sunday's second con- test was nip and tuck all the way with the outcome in doubt right to the final whistle. Each team scored twice in the last four min- utes of play. The game also opened with the same scoring pace as each club counted twice in the first ten minutes of play and added another before the first period ended. Bill and Bob Hoffman and JiM Hayter each tallied in the opening session for the Bears while Grant Volland fired a pair of markers and Bob Jones notched a single- ton to complete the first period counting fOr the Bank Boys. The Bank BOys bounced back quickly in the second period and scored twice In lett than a Min, ute to take a 5-3 lead they were able to hold until the second inter- mission. Chuck Becker fired the 'first One on a play with Bob Jones and Lloyd MOOre while Jim Rita- sell blasted in a long drive for the second counter. Early In the third the Bankers scored again on Becker's second successful shot of the night and it looked as if they had the game in the bag. Shortly after the halfWay mark Of the final session, the Bears Started to growl and Within four minutes had tied the count at 6-6 on a goal by Stan Lovie and two from the stick of Jim tieytet $ his 'second and third of the bight, At 18:05 Pete McFalls put the Saturday night's final OHA Junior "D" game here between the Exeter 'and Mitchell Hawks closed out one of the most successful seasons in the history of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association. While the local Hawks failed to advance to the provincial final they provided the local fans with an exciting season of hockey and many are still won- dering if the best team did win. Three of the four Mitchell wins were by a sin- gle goal and on two occasions were accomplished in the last minute or two of play, In total goals in the seven game series, Exeter outscored Mitchell 40-33. Exeter coach Terry Bourne summed up the series quite well with one short statement. "The bet- ter team lost." Bourne went on to say, "The breaks decided the series, with a lucky bounce or two we could be in the final against Bobcaygeon. I am proud of my team, They never gave up at any time, espe- cially when we were two games down." Bourne continued to say, "We should have a team next year that will be good enough to go all the way to the championship. We lose only four players from this year's team and expect to pick up a couple of good prospects in the immediate area. When asked if he will be back as coach next year, Bourne said, "Definitely, if they ask me." As far as we are concerned there should be no question as to whether he will be back or not next year. Bourne, with some professional playing experience, brought the Hawks along slowly during the season and was able to fire them up at the right time to bring them into contention for the provin- cial championship. The players themselves deserve a lot of credit for their performance this season, especially in stay- ing away from foolish penalties. Particularly in the last half of the season they were able to take hard and sometimes illegal checks without retaliating. While we wish the Mitchell Hawks the best of luck against Bobcaygeon we certainly don't ap- prove of some of the methods used by coach Bob Zimmer in the dying minutes of Saturday night's game here. Taking advantage of a laxity in the OHA rule book, Zimmer on two occasions in the last minute of play deliberately put too many players on the ice in an attempt to hold the one-goal lead his team en- joyed at the moment. While this could be classed as "smart coach- ing", it nevertheless could be considered very un- sportsmanlike. Apparently the rule book does not cover this specific case and all referees John Slota and Bill Melville could do was assess delayed pen- alties. If Exeter would have been able to score in the last thirty seconds of play to tie the score Zim- mer's move could have looked rather foolish as his team would have been shorthanded two men for several minutes in overtime. This didn't happen and the Hawks actually had very little chance of getting another goal as an- other Mitchell player was thrown on the ice when- ever Exeter seemed to be threatening. While Mitchell were caught twice for too many men on the ice they did get away with it on one other occasion without detection. Scott Burton was moving down the left side with the puck when a visiting player jumped over the boards, grabbed the puck, shot it down the ice and then climbed back over the boards. When questioned after the game, referee Slota told us the incidents would be included on his report to the OHA and could possibly pave the way for some definite rules to prOent this occurring again. Apparently this isn't the first time this sort of method has been used this year. Dave Weber, coach of the Kitchener junior "B" club and a former Exeter Mohawk player, told Exeter manager Bob Baynham after the game that these tactics were also used against his club this year. While most of the Mitchell fans were very happy with their club's win Saturday night we found one that wasn't too pleased. Jack Vipond, who has been acting as time keeper and goal judge at most of the games and is the father of Don Vipond, one of the stars of the team, said he didn't agree with the methods used by the Mitchell management. We would like to add our congratulations to Exeter manager Bob Baynham, coach Terry Bourne and all the players in providing the local fans with a wonderful and exciting brand of hockey this win- ter and may next season bring an OHA champion- ship to Exeter. WHERE DO THEY GO ? Smelt fishermen by the thousand will soon be getting out their nets in anticipation of the an- nUal smelt spawning season. Each year at this time, the smelt move inshore to within wading distance of the beach. Here they mill about for at least a week, de- pending on weather conditions, and deposit their eggs and depart. As far as the fishermen are con- cerned they disappear. But do they? The move inshore is in response to the re. productive needs And a search for Suitable spawning areas. Generally, in the Atlantic Ocean stock; they move out of the ocean, arid into streams. In lakes such as Erie arid Huron, where tribu- tary streams are scarce, they swarm near the beach, es. Generally, they school offshore in deep Water during the day, but move close to the beaches at night to spawn, The smelt do not adhere to the "ladies first" adage as the males precede the females and also re- Math for a longer period. There is a suggestion that schools of males travel separately from Schools of females. In Lakes Erie arid Huron the males may spawn at age two or three, but most females spawn first at the age of three. When there is a strong year class of smelt this results in many small fish, the males one year followed by a larger quantity of larger female smelt the Tiett According to a recent communique from the Department of Lands and Forests, local fishermen this year can expect many females of the 1965 year class. Therefore, catches hi this area should Obtain mostly larger smelt. The length will be over seven inches for this year'class, The gxeter. Hawks and most of their fans would like to forget the last minute and a half of Satur- day's seventh and deciding OHA Junior 1 (1)" semi-final series game with the Mitchell Hawks, but it could be a factor in amending the amateur hockey rule book, It is now history that Mitchell won the game 7-6 and are moving on to meet Bobcaygeon in the pre vincial final. In the final minute coach Bob Zimmer of the Mitchell club made a travesty of the game by de- liberately throwing an extra man on the ice to stop the play and demoralize the Exeter scoring attack, The Mitchell team was twice called for too many men on the ice in the last minute. Derry Boyle, president of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association early this week sent a resolution to the OHA offices asking for an amendment to the rules. The Exeter resolution propos- es that a penalty shot be award- ed against a team that sends more players than they are allowed on the ice in the last two minutes of any game. Under present regulations, only two-minute penalties can be handed out and as was the case in Saturday's game here, more than two would be treated as de- layed penalties. With the score tied at 6-6, Den- nis Hughey of Mitchell picked up an elbowing penalty at 18:35 of the third period and the home Exeter crowd sensed at least a tie was within their grasp. This is where they failed to reckon with the devious methods used by Mitchell coach Z immer in cooling out any Exeter scoring threats. Shortly after the penalty, with the Exeter team pressing, Zimmer threw an extra player out on the ice and was given a penalty for too many men on the ice but it also stopped any chanc- es of the home team scoring. After play resumed again and with the Exeter net empty and six attackers moving up the ice another Mitchell player came over the boards and play was again stopped. The largest crowd of the year — 1600 — jammed their way into the Exeter arena to watch Sat- puck behind John Hayter in the Dashwood net for what looked like the winning goal but the Bank Boys failed to reckon with Jim Hayter who came back only 25 seconds later to beat Bob Call- ingham in the Bankers' cage. With only 40 seconds left in regulation time, McFalls com- pleted a passing play with Grant Volland and John Varley to give the Bank Boys the victory. REVERSAL OF FORM In the opening game of the series won by Dashwood 6-5 the pattern of scoring was re- versed. After being deadlocked at 2-2 after two periods of play the Dashwood boys scored four times in the first eight minutes of the third period to take a commanding lead. The Bank Boys found their' scoring power late in the period to come up with three quick goals but were unable to notch the equalizer. Stan Lovie, Dashwood's only double scorer of the night fired the only goal of the first period while Bill Hoffman scored in the second period John Varley and Jim Russell were the Bank Boy snipers in the middle frame to create the 2-2 tie. Goals by John Braid, Bob Hay- ter and Bob Hoffman along with Lovie's second of the night put the Bears into the commanding 6-2 lead. Chuck Becker, Lloyd Moore and Bob Jones were on the firing end of the last successful shots for the Bankers. WOAA GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP MILVERTON FLYERS VS CREDITON TIGERS Thursday, April 11 Monday, April 15 EXETER ARENA 8:36 P,IVL Bears, Bankers even in Rec hockey final ArdaY'S thrilling Contest, After the Hawks tied the score at 4-4 rniciway throngh the second Period, a fan threw a pigeop onto the Ice. This actually turned out to be a bad omen 19r the Exeter team as the bird couldn't And that's the way the pine turned out with the Exeter Hawks grounded for the season. The actual play Saturday was Very even with Exeter holding a slight 35-34 edge in shots on goal, Each team scored one goal, both in the first period while holding a one man advantage in man- power. Mitchell collected eight of eleven penalties called by Slota and Melville including the two calls for too many men on the ice. The possibility of overtime was definitely in the minds of most of the fans when Danny Gloor broke loose near the Ex- eter blue line at 17:30 and raced in to score the goal that put the Mitchell Hawks into the pro- vincial final. Mitchell captain Don Vipond and Dennis Hughey led their team's scoring for the night with two goals each. Tallying in single fashion in addition to Gloor's game winner were Bob Powell and Dave O'Donnell. Topping the Exeter scoring was Bill Chipchase with a goal in each period. Completing the home team total were goals from the sticks of Bill Fairbairn, Grant Walker and Rick McDonald. Barry Baynham, who performed regularly with the Exeter mid- gets this year before moving up to the Hawks for the playoffs, turned in a„solid effort on de- fence and made several good rushes up the ice. Three power play goals in period number two provided the 'V '41 ., "If it's such a great suit, how come it doesn't cost more?
