The Centennial ac- tivities have kept all members of the T-A editorial staff on the run and regular chores have been neglected to a degree. In addition we had the pleasure of a trip to London Thursday to catch a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip during their short stay in the Forest City. A picture of the Royal couple should be appearing elsewhere in this issue. The sports attractions during Exeter's Centennial celebrations Monday were highly successful. The highly enthusiastic sports fan was kept busy hop- ping back and forth between three locations. The fastball tournament sponsored by the Centennial committee with the co-operation of the South Huron Fast- ball Association attracted large crowds throughout the day, The calibre of ball provided by all eight competing clubs was the best ever seen on the local diamond. The final contest between the London Berkshire Blazers and Lambeth was a real thriller with neither team being able to score through the first six innings. Berkshire pitcher Ian Henderson ended things in the bottom of the seventh with a blast over the left field fence. He was also named the most valuable player of the day on his record of two pitching wins and a pair of home runs. Every player taking part in the tourney received a Centennial crest provided by the local fastball group which is headed by Ed Hearn. Cy Blommaert and Gerry Finnen. Activity at the swimming pool was steady throughout Monday. The highlight of the day was the appearance of a synchronized swim team from Toronto. Several hundred persons gathered at the pool to watch the demonstration which featured Judy Nanos and Betty Ann Brennand from the Leaside club. These two girls were bronze medalists in recent Senior Provincials and represented Ontario at the Canadian championships in Halifax. The minor soccer tourney at the high school grounds produced excellent play by the youngsters involved. After watching a couple of the games, we would be cer- tain most of the boys had little trouble sleeping Monday night. They expended a lot of energy on a hot day. Not being a soccer expert, it seemed to us the field was extremely long for the boys and most of the play took place in the centre of the field without too many opportunities to score. At Lucan, another exciting fastball tournament ended up Monday night. A total of 16 teams competed in the event sponsored by the Lucan Irish Nine club. During our busy schedule Monday trying to catch the trophy presentations at the two ball tourneys and the soccer final we arrived at Lucan as the teams were in the seventh and what should have been the final inning. The two teams in the final from Thamesford and Fullar- ton must have known we were pressed for time as they played flawless ball for the next three innings in a scoreless game. Thamesford came to the rescue with a run in the bottom of the tenth and we were able to get the pictures taken and `back to Exeter Community park for the last few innings of the championship game here. When we arrived back in Exeter we found the same situation with neither team being able to score a run. Back on track The move by the Toronto Maple Leafs early this week in acquiring the services of Eddie Shack should be popular with Leaf fans. Far from being the most sophisticated puck carrier Shack has the ability to arouse a club to its top potential. With the Pittsburgh Penguins last year Shack scored 25 goals, which is only 14 fewer than the total picked up by four Maple Leafs at the same position. Shack should help get the Leafs back on some semblance of the right track. A new coach is expected to be announced this week. Our guess will be former captain George Armstrong. SWIM PRESENTATIONS — A feature of Monday's activities at Ex- eter's Centennial was a demonstration of synchronized swimming by a team from Toronto, Above, Exeter swimming program supervisor Don- na Doidge presents plaques to Judy Nanos and Betty Ann Brennand of Toronto.

The runner-up Fullarton club took home two of the individual trophies. Larry Kreis was named the best pitcher in the tour- nament and received a trophy from Lucan Irish coach Ward Elliott. The most valuable player was Fullerton catcher Ron Kreis and his award came from the Shillelagh Motor Hotel and was presented by Phil Lewis. The Thamesford team received the Wraith-Storey trophy.

Henderson was also named the most valuable player throughout the day. The championship winning blow was his second round tripper of the day and he also picked up two pitching victories, The first homer by Henderson, a two run blast helped his mates dispose of Petrolia by a 5-3 score in the semi-final round.
