The Broncos have two wins and tie in three starts. After winning the first game a week earlier, they scored a decisive 7-1 win in Goderich Saturday and were held to a 3-3 overtime tie on Exeter ice Sunday afternoon, The fourth game will be played in Goderich tonight, Thursday at 6.30 p.m. If a fifth game is necessary it will go back in Exeter Sunday at 5 p.m. Goderich scored their third and tying goal to extend the series with a minute and 45 seconds remaining in overtime, Sunday. The first period was scoreless and Ed Willis scored twice in the second period to give the Broncos a 2-0 lead. Assists on the first two scores went to Rick Lindenfield and Bill Glover. After Goderich scored twice in the third period to even the score David Bell put the Broncos ahead 3-2 early in the overtime period on a pass from Ed Willis. In the Saturday contest in Goderich, the Broncos jumped into an early 3-0 first period lead and were never threatened. David Bell counted twice in the opening period. His first score came on an unassisted effort and the second was accomplished with help from Mike Taylor. The other first period Exeter score came from the stick of David Jackson with David Shaw providing the passing help. In the second frame, the Broncos again scored three times. David Bell completed a hat trick performance 'with another solo goal. David Jackson G. L.

Etherington 4 • PLUMBING • HEATING • ELECTRICAL Crediton 234-6381 The senior Panthers basketball team at South Huron District High School continued their new found winning ways this week with a. resounding 77-49 win over St. Marys, A week earlier the Panthers won their first game of the season and the first in almost three years as they broke a 31 game losing streak. Heading the Panthers scoring in the win over St, Marys was the tremendous performance put on by Bryan Tuckey with 43 points. Ttickey tossed in eight field goals in each half and. Caine up with a total of 11 successful tosses from the free throw line. The 43 points chalked up by Bryan Tuckey are believed to be a modern day record at South Huron. Glenn Mickle who coached the senior teams in the mid 50's said this week, "I don't remember anyone scoring that many points in one game. I recall our team recording 120 points against Mitchell one day but I don't think anybody went over 40 points. Usually if they reached 25 or so I would put somebody else in." In his fine exhibition of scoring Tuckey came up with 16 rebounds and 10 recoveries while playing a strong defensive game. SHDHS athletic director Ron Bogart handled the coaching duties in an interim capacity due to the absence of regular mentor Dave Cox. Larry Savage, also had a hot hand in the first half checking in with 13 points as the Panthers took a lead they never relinquished. Don Giberson was next in line in the scoring department with eight points and came up with 11 rebounds. Randy Dietrich was good for 6 points, Albert Klungel checked in with four points, Tim Ross was good for a pair of points and Wayne Oke hit with a free throw, by Bill Glover on a solo dash. The winner of the Exeter- Goderich series will meet either Petrolia or Strathroy in the next round. notched his second score on a pass from David Shaw and David Underwood registered with help from Rick Lindenfield.

The Mitchell Hawks edged the Exeter Hawks 3-2 in Mitchell Tuesday night in the first game of a best-of-five series.

At '17.52, the Exeter boys found the scoring range. The goal was fired by captain Harry Smits on a three- way combination with Kevin Bestard and Gerald Weido. Balance of scoring in the game was confined to the second period with each team counting once. Rick O'Donnel shot Mitchell into a 3-1 lead at the halfway mark of the second period. With only 34 seconds left in the middle session, Brian Taylor scored for Exeter on a play originated by John Mom- mersteeg and John Beer. Only a dozen penalties were called with Mitchell taking eight. Only one affected the scoring: The second Mitchell goal was scored with John Mommersteeg of Exeter in the penalty box serving a charging penalty.

Huron Panthers senior basketball win over Stratford Northwestern Bryan Tuckey scored 43 points. This is believed to be a modern day school record. Above, Bryan is being congratulated by coaches Ron Bogart and Dave Cox. The first Exeter Lions Sportsmen's Dinner proved to be a real exciting time for this writer and a large number of sporting enthusiasts in the area. Reaction to the dinner has been terrific. Almost everyone we have talked to enjoyed themselves at dinner and were impressed with the head table guests. The Lions club and chairman Don Taylor in particular are to be commended in starting this project which we hope will become an annual event. First of all the dinner catered by the Legion Ladies Aux- iliary was excellent, Tim Foli of the Expos was still raving about the food the next morning, We didn't hear Glen Weir say anything about the dinner but from seeing how he heaped his plate up a couple of times it seemed he was more than satisfied. The after dinner speaking was of major league calibre. Whipper Billy Watson provided the serious note with his personal observations on handicapped persons and thoughts about crippled children, Watson had both legs broken in an auto accident in Toronto on November 8, 1971 and more than two years later is still walking with a cane. We saw the popular wrestler in London at the Easter Seals kick-off about a year ago and at that time was using two canes to get around. Watson who has been involved with crippled children work for many years said it has taken him all these years and his accident to really get the idea. He said previously when he entered homes of crippled kids he always wondered, "why do these things happen. He added "after lying on my back for four months with con- tinual treatment, it's made me understand a little better what this is all about." We found John Hiller one of the nicest guys to talk to. He told us he attends dinners of this kind in Canada only. His explanation was that he spends too much time away from his family during the baseball season and isn't away any more than absolutely necessary in the off months and the fact he is a Canadian. Asked if he had signed his 1974 playing contract, Hiller said, "I did that on the last day of the season and it took only five minutes." Our question was about a raise in salary and he com- mented, "sure I did, but I probably could have a bigger salary. There are other things more important than money." Talking about his five years of play in the minor leagues, the Tiger left hander said the minors are the best thing that can happen to any ball player. Hiller said he has always told Al Kaline that the Tiger great for many years missed something by starting his career in the majors. Kaline hopped to the American league right from the sandlots of Baltimore. "Riding in buses, staying at poorer hotels and playing on somewhat less than ideal ball diamonds in the minors makes life in the big leagues all the more worthwhile," add- ed Hiller, Over the past many years left handed pitchers have usually been tagged as being wild. This is not Hiller's case as excellent control was one of his big attributes in saving 38 garrieg for the Tigers last year. ssz 'He said generally southpaws are getting away from the wildness-problern. He listed Tug McGraw of the Mets and the Yankees Sparky Lyle as other control left handers. Tim Foli, the fine young shortshop of the Montreal Ex- pos listed Willie Davis as one of the big reasons he expected his club would be again in pennant contention in 1974. Davis who came to the Expos in an off season deal from the Los Angeles Dodgers was described by Foli as an ex- citing ball player. "Davis can be the dominant player, something the Ex- pos have never had before. He will open up games for us with his speed not only on the bases but in the outfield. In the trade we lost Mike Marshall but there are other good prospects in the bullpen and hopefully at least one will come through," added Foli. In talking about the Expos chances in the coming season Foli observed, "We will be successful if we stay away from those occasional long losing streaks, A team can't lose six or seven in a row and stay in contention." Another interesting speaker at the dinner was one of Western Ontario's most successful harness race owners, Mac Cuddy of Strathroy. Cuddy's greatest claim to fame came in 1973 when his pride and joy, Smog won $160,000. Included in the victories were the Can-Am and the Messenger Stakes. Cuddy said there is a great future in harness racing for good blacksmiths and grooms. "We just don't have enough blacksmiths. It's a lost art", he added. He went on to say, "It's a sad thing to have harness rac- ing fade from the rural fall fair. Racing should be in the warmth of the afternoon," Cuddy's recipe for successful racing was "buy the best, breed the best and hope for the best." During the late afternoon press conference preceding the dinner we happened to eavesdrop on Whipper Billy Wat- son and Lou Fontinato. What do you think they were talking about? Farming. Fontinato has a 450 acre cow-calf operation in the Guelph area and Watson has just recently disposed of most of his farmland. He has retained about eight acres, We asked Fontinato what the biggest changes in the NHL were since his playing days and he answered "Allan Eagleson." He suggested Bobby Orr, Gilbert Perreault and Richard Martin would have been super stars in any era of the National Hockey league. The entire after dinner speech program was very capably handled by Tory Gregg as the master of ceremonies, Before introducing Mac Cuddy, Gregg said one horse race in Exeter back in the good old days is one he Will never forget. 1-le told about a close finish between Amber Grattan owned by Tom Yearley, then of Crediton and Silver Peter from Eric McIlroy's barn at Grand Bend. Gregg in making the race call, gave the decision to Silver Peter. He said "I thought the margin was about sir inches. Lo and behold, the judges called it a dead heat. I thought the crowd was going to tear down the betting booth.' olowiliiiiimmumiummullinnimimmilmoliumitionmiuminminmoommilliommiimionimoimmoommomilimmomomminommo: Give Your Sweetheart A REAL Valentine Westinghouse CONVERTIBLE DISHWASHER date • Double wash for regular loads • Single wash for lightly sorted loads • Rinse hold for morning dishes • Soft food disposer • 2 level washing action • May be built-in under counter at later • Model SC200 279" • Colors Available • Stock Is Limited , • So Hurry DRYSDALE CREST HARDWARE This Thurs., Fri. and Sat.
