Times-Advocate, November 15, 197? FOR AL4- GOOD SPORTS ,.13y Ross Haugh Double vic tory Congratulations are in order this week for two groups of young people from. South Huron. District High School. Saturday was a big day at the local school besides being a cold and white one. The Panther junior football team won the Huron-Perth Conference championship in a game which was marred by far from ideal weather and field conditions. The South Huron cheer leaders put on a near perfect performance in their various routines to handily win the championship in their department. One advantage the girls had over the boys was the fact their official competitions were held indoors. With a few clothes added they were out in full force in the afternoon to help cheer their team to victory. Because of the very inclement weather, it took a lot of cheering to gain the win for the Junior Panthers. Despite a lot of work by a snow removal crew in the morning a good part of the field was covered with about eight inches of the white stuff. The plays called by the quarterbacks were definitely limited by the field conditions and very few passes were attempted. The only score in the junior final came in the third over- time period on a touchdown by Doug Mclsaac. Several of the sideline critics were calling for South Huron kicks in the fourth quarter and in overtime in an attempt to get the one point needed for a victory. When the kick did come it was returned by Clinton but it was instrumental in setting up the eventual score. . An important date to remember Tuesday, February 5 of next year will be an important date for sports fans in this area. This is the day', the Exeter Lions club will be staging the first Exeter Sportsmen dinner with top celebrities from many sports in attendance. The local dinner will be patterned after the London Rotary club event which is being held the night before at the Ivanhoe ,in London. Lion Don Taylor who is spearheading the celebrity dinner hopes to have many of the speakers at the London dinner stay over in the area for an extra day. We sat in on a preliminary meeting of the dinner com- mittee and were impressed with the enthusiasm shown and the planning which has already been done. All profits from the $25 per plate dinner will be used to aid crippled children, The dinner will be held at the Exeter Legion hall and only 300 tickets will be sold. While confirmation has not been received chances are good that three of the London celebrities will be in atten- dance here. They are Emmett Ashford, the American league baseball umpire, Detroit Tiger lefty reliever John Hiller and Mrs. Tweedy, the owner of super horse Secretariat. Many other sport personalties are being contacted. The committee would hope to have about a dozen visiting per- sons in attendance. We will be keeping our readers informed from time to time on the progress of the dinner plans. Until February 5 save your dimes and dollars. The monies go to a good cause. A precarious position How long will Alex Delvecchio last as the coach of the Detroit Red Wings? The answer to this question is far from simple, although we would hazard a guess it will be a lot longer than his im- mediate predecessor. The popular Detroit centre who ended a 22 year National Hockey League career last week to take over his coaching duties will likely use a simple approach. That's the way he played the game with no tricks or gim- micks, just strong fundamentals and good hard work. Shortly after taking over, Delvecchio outlined his strategy saying, "I think the kind of hockey we played on the pond when we were kids will work." "The wingers should go up and down their wings, the defencemen should protect the goal and the goalie should block shots. That's the way hockey should be played and we'll have some fun doing it." There are two features Alex wants to see in the Wings dressing room, smiles and club owner Bruce Norris. He hopes Norris will be more involved in the future. He continued "for a long time he came to every game and talk- ed to the players no matter what happened on the ice. During his 22 years in the NHL, Delvecchio scored 456 goals and 825 assists for 1,281 points, second only to his long time linemate Gordie Howe. Novel idea Toronto Maple Leaf coach Red Kelly may try something different as his team swings into a western trip. The Leafs will play in Vancouver Friday night and in Los Angeles Saturday. Kelly is thinking of sending a goalie, a defenceman and two forwards to Los Angeles Friday so they can get a good night's sleep and be well rested for the Saturday night contest. 8:30 p.m, Belmont Sunsets VS Exeter Hawks EXETER ARENA Sunday Nov. 18 2 p.m. Clinton Mustangs vs Exeter Hawks EXETER ARENA The Huron-Perth Conference junior football championship trophy will be making its home at South Huron District High School The Exeter Hawks travelled to Mitchell Tuesday night by motor vehicle but once they hit the ice they started to fly. In their best performance of the season, the Hawks con- tinually outskated the Mitchell Hawks and turned in an im- pressive 8-2 victory. The Exeter club outscored their opponents 2-1 in the first period and opened up a wider lead with four successful shots in the middle frame while Mitchell scored only once. In the third period it was Exeter again out- scoring Mitchell 2-1, The win in Mitchell completed a fairly successful week for the Hawks, They defeated the Lucan Irish 6-3 in Lucan Wednesday night, were held to a 3-3 tie by Lambeth Friday eight and lost 8- 2 to Clinton Sunday night. The schedule for the Hawks this week is a little lighter. Their only two starts will be on home ice. Friday night the Belmont Sunsets will he in town for an 8.30 p.m. contest while the Clinton Mustangs will supply the op- position Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. Randy Gilfillan was the top marksman for the Hawks in the decisive win over Mitchell. He scored three times and combined with linemates Harry Smits and Gerald Weido in picking up a total of eight points. Weido and Gilfillan scored in the first half of the first period and Don Nicholson replied for the Mitchell team. In the second period, Gilfillan tallied on a three-way effort with Smits and Steve Schroeder and completed his hat trick on a solo effort. The other Exeter markers came from Brian Taylor unassisted and from John Mommersteeg on a play started by Taylor. The final Mitchell goal was fired by Bob Skinner. The final Exeter scores in the third period both came on unassisted efforts by Steve Schroeder and, Gerald Weido. Good Second Frame Three goals in the second period proved to be the difference as the Hawks downed the Irish 6-3 Wednesday night in Lucan. Gerald Weido with his first two goals for the night opened the scoring for the Hawks before the two minute mark was reached in the opening period. On a three- way passing effort with Harry Smits and Randy Gilfillan. for the fourth time in five years, Saturday afternoon in a game which was played in much less than ideal football conditions, the After the halfway mark, the Irish knotted the count as Ed Legg converted passes from Charlie Franks and Harry Dixon. The second Exeter marker came on an unassisted effort by Noel Skinner at the 15 minute mark of the first period. At the three minute mark of the middle stanza, Garry Herr put the Irish back on even terms as he finished off a play with Charlie Franks. Three Exeter scoring plays in less than four minutes part way through the second period put the game out of sight for the Irish youngsters. At 6.09 Gerald Weido put the puck behind Eugene Glavin in the Lucan nets on a solo flight and then set up Harry Smits for his successful shot. The third of the quick Hawk scores was fired by Brian Taylor as he took a pass from John Mommersteeg. Each team was able to score one goal in the third stanza. Matt Muller was the Hawks sharp- shooter with the assist going to Rick Ingram. Scoring for Lucan was Huron Park youngster Ron Funston. Assists went to Mike Wraith and Jeff Park. The shots on goal were close with the Irish firing 36 at Bob Brand in the Exeter goal and the Hawks shot 37 times at Eugene Glavin. Get slow start In Clinton Sunday night, the Hawks were slow to get organized in a scoring way as the Mustangs took an early 2-0 lead in the first period and were never headed. Brian Lane and Marvin Kale notched the first period Clinton scores while Gerald Weido pulled the trigger for the Hawks with passing help coming from Randy Gilfillan and Harry Smits. Gary Phillips produced the only goal of the second period to put the Clinton club in front 3-1. The only goal of the third period and final of the game again came from the stick of Gerald Weido, this time on a solo effort, Penalties were a scarce commodity with referees Ray Richards and Murray Butcher sighting only six infractions, four by the Clinton club in a well played contest which took less than two hours to complete. In goal for Exeter was Bob Brand. South Huron Panthers edged Central Huron of Clinton 6-0 to bring back the championship. Doug Mclsaac scored for South Huron on a four yard plunge at the sixth minute mark of the third overtime period. That's right! The third overtime period. Neither team was able to score in regulation time or in two 10 minute extra halves before the game went into sudden-death overtime with the first points settling the issue. Parkhill shines in Ausable loop In a Ausable league recreation hockey doubleheader at the Exeter arena, Sunday night, Brinsley edged Lieury 3-2 in a real thriller and Parkhill trounced a short-handed Shipka crew by a score of 12-2, The Brinsley goals were scored in single fashion by Bob Hodgins, George Tryon and Jim Latta. The Lieury goals came from the sticks of Sonny Slater and Jim Sutherland. The Parkhill scoring attack was led by Jim Battram with a hat trick performance. Close behind with two goals apiece were Bill Hempel, Dale Battram, Roger Newell and Adraian Vandevloet. Scoring for Shipka were Larry McCann and Rene Boogemans. High scoring by Broncos The Exeter Broncos scored a very impressive 11-1 victory over St. Thomas in Shamrock league atom division play, Saturday. The Broncos will be back in action Saturday at 5:30 p.m. at the Exeter arena when they take on Lambeth. David Underwood was the top goal getter for the locals with a three goal effort. Close behind with a pair of successful shots were David Shaw and Edward Willis. Firing single scores were Peter Tuckey, Mark Vandergunst and Scott Pincombe, Bill Glover was the top playmaker as he picked up no less than five assists. Mike Taylor helped out on three goals by his team-mates. Getting two assists were David Shaw and Edward Willis. David Bell and David Underwood each assisted on one score. The Panthers won the H-P championship in 1969, 1970 and 1971 before, bowing to Stratford Northwestern by a 10-0 score in last year's Conference semi- final. For most of the game, neither club was able to move the ball much more than a few yards at a time and were forced to kick. In the first quarter the Pan- thers moved the ball to the Clinton three yard line only to fumble. ,, Most of the play in the balance of the game was played in the centre field area. When regulation time ended South Huron had the ball on the op- posing 2,0 yard line, Similarly when the first overtime period ended, the Panthers were in possession on the Clinton 30 and at the con- clusion of the second extra period they had moved to the 20. In the third overtime session South Huron kicked off to Clinton and held the first series of plays to the 20 yard line. On the ensuing punt, the Panthers took possession on the Clinton 45 yard line. The Pan- thers moved the ball in and John Van Gerwen kicked the ball into the Clinton end zone but they were able to return the ball to the five yard line. Again getting possession well into Clinton territory, the Pan- thers moved the ball to the Clinton 12 yard line thanks to a good run by John Van Gerwen. The next Clinton kick was returned by Steve Knight to the 10 yard line. On the second play from scrimmage Doug Mclsaac went over for a touchdown and the margin of victory for the Panthers. Good kickoffs by Larry Ryan to start each of the three overtime periods kept Clinton back in their own end of the field. A strong Panther defensive line led by the key tackling of John Gould and Steve Jennison kept the Clinton offense contained most of the time. John Van Gerwen was able to complete four passes and managed to get good distance on his punts which were frequent due to the inability of his backs to gain much ground due the slip- pery conditions underfoot. Two of the Panthers Bill Baker and Mike Veal completed three full seasons as starting guards. In a morning competition held in the warmth of the local school gym , the South Huron girls won the cheerleading competition while Stratford Central was second. The South Huron team was captained by Leisa Ritchie, Hawks score decisive win over Mitchell club
