(WILL FIT THE GIRLS TOO!) • Navy • Red • Gold Main St. Exeter School grid teams victorious in first exhibition starts With the membership cards costing only $6.00 each ($10.00 for a couple) that's quite a bargain over the normal admission price of 50 cents per night. In fact, it suggests that some of the minor hockey enthusiasts may not have heard about inflation. Special discounts are also allowed to association members for dances, turkey raffles, minor hockey day, etc. Main purpose of the new membership as explained by Bev Skinner, the committee chair- man, is the fact the association wants to encourage more parents to become involved in the operation of the group. 'At the present time, many of the extra duties required to run such a large organization fall to the coaches and managers, who are already required to give up considetable time and energy to their team duties. "With more enthusiasts available, the work load can be spread out so it doesn't create hardships for anyone," Bev ex- plained. In addition, he noted that the association hopes to have more social functions throughout the year, based on the experience of the past season when parents enjoyed hosting and visiting Trenton parents. "We want minor hockey to be more of a family affair, with parents involved in the decisions which effect their sons," he stated, "and would particularly like to see some mothers out to our meetings". While the association has always welcomed comments from parents, they hope that through a membership the sup-. porters of the sport will become even more involved in making the program of even greater benefit to the community. Friday, the 13th didn't prove to be unlucky for the two football teams from South Huron District High School, The Panther teams scored dou- ble victories over the two clubs from Sir Frederick Banting high school in London. The South Huron seniors scored a 14-3 victory while the juniors came up with a 14-6 deci- sion, The games were actually controlled scrimmages with the coaches 'allowed on the field between plays if desired. The games were also played under rules of the London con- ference which differ a bit from regulations in effect in the Huron-Perth. Four downs are used with no neutral zone, The South Huron teams see their first regular Huron-Perth Conference action this after- noon, Thursday when they play host to Central Huron of Clinton in a twin bill. In the senior win over Banting, the Panthers scored touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters after the London school had kick- ed a field goal near the end of the first quarter, In the second period, Panther halfback Dave Lovell circled his right end, picked up a couple of blocks and rambled untouched for a 40 yard touchdown. Rob Dickey's convert boot was good and the Panthers were in front 7-3. The final South Huron score came on a run of about the same distance as Van Tuckey was in the right spot to grab up a Ban- ting fumble and race 45 yards into the end zone for a major score. Rob Dickey again kicked the extra point. The win for the seniors was costly as kicker John Gould suf- fered a torn muscle in his hip and will be lost to the club for the season. In post game comments coach Ron Bogart said he was pleased with the work at quarter back of Bill Wilson and John, Van Gerwen and the running of Dave Lovell and Brian Taylor. The Panthers received great defensive hitting from Wayne Oke, Larry Johns, Roger Dougall, Marc Gelinas, Brian Tuckey and Bill Wilson. Bogart said first game jitters produced a lot of fumbles by both teams but he expected this situa- tion would improve against Clin- ton. The Panthers will be giving their best effort against Central Huron today. They lost to the Clinton club 16-9 in the regular schedule and 9-0 in the semi- finals in 1973. In the junior game, the Panthers scored first and were never headed, After taking a punt on their .,own 40 yard line, the Panther at- tack was able to get a good march going and went in to score. The scoring play came as quarterback Perry,Pooley rolled out and threw a pass to offensive end Randy Fisher for the six points. The play covered 25 yards. Fullback Paul Pooley ran five yards on a halfback sweep for the two point convert and the Panthers were ahead 8-0. In the second quarter, Banting moved the ball 60 yards for a MOTO CROSS RACES Moto cross racing returns to Western Ontario this Sunday, September 22 at Hully Gully near Varna. The race sanctioned by the Canadian Motorcycle Associa- tion and organized by Huron Cy- cle Association, promises to provide race fans with the usual, unusual thrills and acrobatics that only Moto Cross can. Page 6 Times-Advocate, September 19, 1974 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Good seasons — The two most famous Canadian born professional baseball players in many a year are having probably their best season ever and both happen to be pitchers. They are John Huffer of the Detroit Tigers and Fergie Jenkins, now of the Texas Rangers. Wednesday night, Scarborough native John Hiller who set a major league record by chalking up 38 saves as a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers in 1973 did the same thing as far as winning games as a reliever is. concerned. Hiller won his 17th game in his favorite role, coming on to help a fellow Tiger moundsman who finds himself in trouble, This beats by one the previous American league record held by Dick Radatz, formerly of the Boston Red Sox. In taking a closer look at the role of a relief pitcher one finds it is quite often much easier to record a "save" than it is to win a game, A "save" is given when a pitcher comes in with his team ahead on the scoreboard and is able to maintain that lead. The win situation is a little different and much more difficult. To get a victory as a reliever, a pitcher must come into the game with his team behind or the score tied. He then must stay in the game and keep the opposition at bay while his team-mates rally and go ahead to win the game. Hiller has been called on by manager Ralph Houk on many occasions in what would sometimes be called early situations like the fifth or sixth innings and he has come through with flying colours. In checking with the Tigers most faithful fan in these parts, Harold "Batch" Wolfe we find Hiller has been knock- ed out of the box only twice this year. Wolfe, who along with yours truly is one of Hiller's staunchest supporters proudly says, "John has 17 wins, that's more than any of the Tiger starters." Getting to talk about Fergie Jenkins. This is another comeback story. After winning 20 or more games for six years with the Chicago Cubs, he fell off to about 14 in 1973. A trade to the Texas club seems to have rejuvenated the Chatham right hander and Jenkins has responded with 23 victories to date and he will get a few more starts before the season ends. Getting back to the Detroit Tigers, Al Kaline is getting close to a real milestone. At the time of writing Al is only eight base hits short of reaching the 3,000 mark. Chances are real good that Kaline will hit the 3,000 plateau this year. Real spoilers With the Pittsburgh Pirates trying to mount a drive to win the pennant in the National league eastern division we are sure they wish they hadn't run into the Montreal Expos. While the Expos are out of contention fOr the league championship they are certainly earning the title of spoilers, I" Gale Mauch's men one by up three straight victories over the Pittsburgh club, one-by a resounding 17-2 score and took some of the steam out of the pennant drive. - Hawks to start practices The executive of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association are still looking for a coach to handle the Exeter Hawks in the upcoming OHA Junior "D" season. Despite the lack of a coach the team's executive has lin- ed up several practices. The first workout will be at the Huron Park arena, Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. The se- cond session is slated for the same arena Wednesday, September 25 at 7:30 p.m. Any boys of junior age in the district are urged to come out to practice. They are asked to bring their own equip- ment including sticks. Jets shaping up Candidates for the 1974-75 edition of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets will take to the ice Monday night at the Huron Park arena and the list of new players looks very promising. Manager Don Urbshott tells us he has at least three players of proven calibre coming out along with the return of a popular Jet of a couple of years ago. The returnee is speedy centre Bill White, who sat out last year and is ready to get back into a Jets uniform, Heading the list of new performers is Sonny Pen- nington, who has been prominent in Ontario Hockey Association Senior "A" ranks for quite a few years with Galt and Woodstock teams. Pennington will give the Jets excellent goal tending. Another newcomer is Terry Johnson, a defenceman with the Preston Jesters last year. Urbshott said he was im- pressed with Johnson's play last year and voted for him on the all star team. Adding more strength to the forward lines will, be the appearance of Don Carter. An accomplished centre, Carter has experience with Greensboro and Tulsa and also coached at Winston-Salem. Football season starts This is the time of the year when some conflictions occur in sports, Baseball is still with us, most hockey leagues and teams are getting organized and football at the high school level starts this week. The two football clubs from South Huron District High School will see their first official action in the Huron-Perth Conference Thursday when they play host to Central Huron of Clinton. The local teams got off to a good start Saturday when they came up with double victories against Banting high school of London in exhibition games. Doug Ellison and Dave Cox, coaches of the junior team and senior mentors Ron Bogart and Glenn Mickle are busy putting their charges through final workouts for Thursday's league openers. On the professional scene, the Montreal Alouettes appear to be the class of the Canadian football league's eastern division. Jimmy Jones, Johnny Rodgers and company appear to have a powerful outfit and should be one of the contestants in the 1974 edition of the Grey Cup. Rodgers, who calls himself the "ordinary super star" is more than that, In Sunday night's televised game against the B.C. Lions, one of the strongest teams in the west Rodgers put on a good show and combined with Jones on some great pass plays. At the same time No, 64 turns In solid performances on the Montreal defensive line and came up with some good tackles in the most recent game, He is Glehn Weir of Dorchester, touchdown and their only points of the .day. The convert attempt An intercepted pass accounted for the final scoring points for South. Huron,RandySornmerville picked off a Banting aerial and raced 70 yardS for th e touchdown. The convert failed. In the second quarter, .another canting scoring threat was nullified when Randy Sommer- ville recovered a fumble. The South Huron club was able to retain good field position throughoutthe last half thanks to excellent punts by Perry Pooley. Singled out by coach Doug Ellison for strong tackling ef. 'forts were Brad Cann, 'Brian Horrell and Ken Govers. Horrell also recovered a Londoeumble, Badminton set to get underway Anyone in the area interested in playing badminton through the coming fall and winter season may attend the first session scheduled for Monday night, It will be held in the new gym at South Huron District High School and will get underway at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome in- cluding those wishing to play for the first time. Players are asked to bring their own racquet. 1974 MODEL CLEARANCE 4 DEMONSTRATORS 1 — Olds Delta Royalle 2 Door Hardtop 1 — Chevelle Malibu Classic 4 Door Hardtop 1 — Camaro Sport Coupe — Vega Hatchback Coupe Save Hundreds Now GMAC TERMS AVAILABLE OK USED CARS like new condition.
