The Tigers, in their first season of WOAA play, took the "D" Major series, moved on to eliminate Gorrie for the overall "D" title and then knocked off the "C " champion Milverton Fly- ers to take the grand champion- ship. The season came to a close in Milverton Friday night as Crediton downed the Flyers 8-5 to take the best-of-seven final in six games. The fifth game of the set was taken by Crediton by a decisive 9-3 count on Exeter ice, Wednesday. MAINTAIN LEAD The Crediton club scored three times in the first fifteen minutes of play in Friday's final game without a reply from the home club and were able to maintain that lead the rest of the way as they were able to come back and score each time Milverton found the scoring range. The high flying forward line of Dennis Morrissey, Jamie Robb and Fred Lamb continued their scoring prowess by accounting for five of the eight Crediton goals. Robb was first to hit the score sheet as he converted passes from Lamb and defenceman Joe Regier at 10:45 of the opening period. Within the next four min- utes Dennis and Jim Morrissey had each put the puck behind MEN'S "A" "A" LEAGUE UN (M. Brintnell 783) 3 6 SP (B. Nicol 684) 1 2 RO (L. Haugh 744) 3 4 ONE(G.

Milverton's top goal scorer in the series, Murray Kerr cut the Crediton margin to two goals before the first session came to a close. Trading goal for goal in the second period, Dennis Morrissey and Lamb were the Crediton marksmen while Paul Dietz and Bob Gropp were the Milverten goal getters. In the third session, Mor- rissey, Robb and Craig Chapman, one of the additions to the Credi- ton club from the Zurich Flyers, scored single markers to com- plete the Crediton goal total. Finalizing the Milverton scor- ing were Kerr and John Scrim- egour. The winning Tigers were called for seven of the nine penalties assessed. QUICK START In the fifth game on Exeter ice Wednesday, the Crediton team wasted little time in getting out in front as Dennis Morrissey scored on a three way passing effort with line mates Jamie Robb and Fred Lamb at the nine second mark. Glenn Overholt triggered the only other goal of the first session at 11:56 on an unassisted effort. Robb upped the Tiger lead, to three goals early in the middle frame as he found the range with Morrissey's help. The next two Crediton goals were the direct result 'of neat stickhandling by Craig Chapman. On the first effort Chapman PS RA TA HG PP VA GU CH MIXED LEAGUE (T, MacDonald 656) (A. Miller 536) (D.

The fifth marker was flipped in by Morrissey after Chapman dek- ed his way through the oppos- ition defence. Ron Kipfer notched the first Milverton counter in the game as time was running out on a play set up by playing coach Tom Collings. Another quick goal, this time from the stick of Fred Lamb at the fifty second mark of the last period, upped the Crediton lead to 6-1 and took the steam out of the Milverton attack. The Tigers scored three more in the final period while the Flyers could retaliate only twice. Robb scored twice and Morris- sey once in the last twenty min- utes as each upped their game total to three goals. Bob Gropp completed the Mil- verton scoring as he beat Tom Glavin in the Crediton nets on two occasions in the closing period. Glavin, voted the club's most valuable player throughout the season, again came up with the big saves to keep his mates in the game. In the final series with Mil- verton, the Crediton front line of Dennis Morrissey, Jamie Robb and Fred Lamb scored 27 of their team's 40 goals. Morrissey was tops with an even dozen scores to his credit while Robb was close behind with eleven and Lamb added four. W :AN LAMES LUCAN MEN'S LEAGUE SD (C. Glenn 715) RE (G. Aitkens 616) MA (D.

Representative EXETER Tel: 235-0395 TMegee*:**** VITA Pao, 6 y Times-Advocatfe, April 25, 1968 FQR ALL, GOOD SPORTS BY RIM; Haugh Que of hockey's.. best This is the time of year again when we re ceive invitations to many sports banquets and prob- ably put on a few extra pounds to hold us through the summer, The first of these WaS in Lucan last Monday when the Lions Club played host to all the young hockey players participating in the Luean minor hockey league. While the playing career of Johnny Bower is almost completed we're sure every youngster in at- tendance at the Lucan banquet will be hoping, the veteran Leaf goalie continues for many years, The popular Bower was the guest speaker and spent at least an hour answering questions and then satisfied everyone seeking an autograph. In addition to the banquet session we spent an extra half hour with Johnny and found him to be a wonderful fellow and a terrific ambassador for the game of hockey. Typical of Bower's answers was the one to a query as to the dirty tactics on the ice of players like Jahn Ferguson and Gordie Howe. "There isn't a dirty player in the NHL, these fellows you have mentioned are aggressive and terrific competitors." Bower told us that off the ice John Ferguson was a very quiet, mild mannered fellow. Gordie Howe is one of Bower's best hockey friends and in the past have spent a lot of summers fishing and playing golf. In the past year or two their fishing excursions have been scarce as Howe has been too busy with his off-season job with Eaton's in endors- ing sports equipment. In reference to Eddie Shack, Johnny said he certainly missed the robust forward now with the Boston Bruins. "We were very good friends. Every team needs a colorful character like Eddie. When we would be in a slump all Punch would need to do was send out Shack and the crowd came to life and eventually the team. Eddie had most of his fun in practice when he would really fly and would some- times put as many as 40 pucks past me in one ses- sion." The Lucan kids surprised the Leaf goalie by not asking him how old he was, but did ask two other that he expected. One was in regard to how many years he expected to stay in the NHL and the other, "What happened to the Leafs this year?" Johnny told the youngsters he would play it, one year at a time and didn't expect to be protected"' in the upcoming draft, "Bruce Gamble has certainly earned the right to wear the number one sweater and Al Smith is a promising netminder in our set- up," added Bower. If he was drafted by an expansion club he would prefer to go to Minnesota because of the cold- er weather. "I don't like the warm weather of Cali- fornia to play hockey in, the altitude bothers most of us and the ice is usually soft," said the Leaf goalie. As to the Leaf's failure to make the playoffs after winning the Stanley Cup last year, Johnny said, "it was a combination of a terrible ten-game slump after the All-Star game and our inability to win con- sistently against the expansion teams. We had a good team and still have, but everybody went into a slump at the same time. We made a big comeback after the trade with Detroit and if this would have come about two weeks earlier, we might still be in the running." Johnny told us he thought John Ashley and Vern Buffey were the two best referees in the NHL at the present time. "At least we know what we can say to the seasoned officials, some of the younger ones don't take too much," added Bower. We would like to thank Lucan Lion president Ian Dallas, Clare Stanley, Larry Hotson and Gord Brooks for the invitation to their banquet and the opportunity to chat with the Leaf goalie. Gord Brooks was instrumental in securing Johnny Bower, who is an off-season employee of Borden Chemicals. Friday night we had the pleasure of sitting in on the annual steak dinner of the Exeter Hawks, sponsored by the Exeter Minor Hockey Association. In addition to the personnel of the junior club, coaches of the other minor hockey teams and the fel- lows who provided the transportation to out of town junior games were in attendance. The Hawks failed to win the junior "D" cham- pionship but if there was an award for the best ap- petites we're sure the opposition wouldn't stand any chance at all. The unofficial title of the "hungriest Hawks' would be a tossup between a couple of Hensall youngsters. A certain blond fellow moved almost as quickly between 'the dining room and the kitchen as he does out on the ice lanes, Have another piece of pie, Bill. LET'S PLAY BALL The baseball season is under way in the major leagues and the local leagues 'are well on in the plan- ning stages for what looks like a banner year. The Huron-Perth baseball loop is assured of at least six teams with other possibilities. Clubs from Dashwood, St: Marys, Mitchell and Zurich will be back for another term and will be joined by new teams from Hensall and Thorndale. For the past two seasons, entries from Walk- erton and Chesley have competed in the H-P circuit but they will not be back this time because of the lengthy trips involved. This is good news for most of the players in the league and especially for their wives as most of the games in the two northern centres were played on Sundays and sometimes included doubleheaders. For the last couple of weeks, rumors have been circulating around town that the Exeter Mo- hawks may be revived and entered in the Huron- Perth league. We know that there are lots of good ball play- ers in. Exeter and the immediate area to round out a club and all that is needed to make this a reality is a good organizer, We would suggest that Bob 3aynhain who did a fine job as Manager of the junior. Hawks hockey club would be the ideal person to get things rolling. In the same vein, plenty of players could be available for an all-star softball team if a satisfactory league could be 101111d to play in, Pay yourself first! • Wise men through the ages have pointed out that the sure route to security and wealth is to put aside money for tomorrow befire you spend for today.
