THE 'HOME OF GUARDIAN MAINTENANCE
Winning one championship in a
season is quite an accomplish-
ment, but the Crediton Tigers
didn't stop until they had cap-
tured three Western Ontario Ath-
letic Association hockey titles.
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

to give their club the three goal
bulge.
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.

carried the rubber the length
of the ice and as he approached
the Milverton net flipped back
to the blue line to Fred Lamb
who sunk a low screened shot.
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.

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,
