In the first inning, the Exeter rally was sparked by a triple from the bat of Darlene Bourne and doubles delivered by Joyce Hume and Joyce Morgan. Lynne Farquhar beat out a bunt to open the Exeter seventh but was thrown out on' an at- tempted steal of second. Blanshard pitcher Jane Rolston in addition to turning in a good pitching effort led her club at the plate. She singled and scored the first run, in the fourth. In the Blanshard fifth Waren Humphries crossed the plate and Fran Thomson did the same in the seventh. Jane Rolston led off the eighth with a bunt single and scored on a single by Pat De Brabendere. The first three Blanshard batters to the plate in the ninth reached the base paths safely and eventually scored. Cheryl Zvonkin led off with a walk, Mary Barr doubled and Jane Rolston singled to score orie run and tie the score. Exeter hurler Lia DeJong was able to strike out the next two batters but Pat De Brabendere came through with a pop single over the drawn,in E)pter infield to score two more runs. The Exeter junior Hawks have a new coach for the upcoming 1974-75 hockey season. Actually, it's an old one coming back. Exeter Minor Hockey Association president Ron Horn said Sunday afternoon he was pleased to announce that Terry Bourne had agreed to handle the coaching duties. He was the junior coach for the 1968-69 and 1969-70 seasons. Bourne was in charge of Sunday's workout at Huron Park and he said he was surprised at the good condition most of the players were in. He added, "I hope to put a team on the ice that will play good positional hockey and have good discipline on the ice." Terry Bourne played junior with the Ingersoll Marlands and went to the Springfield Indians in 1966 at the time of the players strike with owner Eddie Shore. The next season he was with the Jersey Devils under coach Vic Stasiuk. Next came the two years of coaching in Exeter and the last three seasons he was a valuable member of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets, Wouldn't it be nice to have an "Operation Cessation" to stop all this *Verbal nonsense of calling every project "Operation This" and "Operation That"? Lieury meets Lucan The undefeated streak of the Exeter Greys has been broken by Blanshard and the best-of-five series to decide the championship of the South Perth ladies softball league is all tied tip at two games apiece. After leading the finals two games to none, the Greys were beaten by 131anshard 7-5 in Exeter Thursday and 6-4 back in Kirkton Tuesday. The fifth and deciding game will be played tonight, Thursday at Exeter Community park with game time set for 7 p.m . The only flaw in the Greys record up to the third game of the final round was a tie during the regular season with the same Blanshard club, Two runs in each of the sixth and seventh innings allowed Blanshard to break a 2-2 tie. The Greys came back with one run in the top of the ninth and had the bases loaded but were unable to score any further. The Greys opened the scoring in the first inning when Joyce Hume walked and was able to come around to score, Marilyn Barker's single sent Mary Barr and Deb Newton home with two Blanshard runs in the fourth. Lynne Farquhar singled with one out id the Exeter fifth and scored on a similar hit by Lia DeJong, In the Exeter sixth Joyce Morgan singled, moved to second on a walk to Valerie Sweet and scored on a hit by Joyce Hume. Deb Newton and Marilyn Barker crossed the plate with Blanshard runs in the sixth on a hit by Irene Watt. In the seventh Mary Barr and Cheryl Zvonkin scored. The final run for the Exeter team was scored in the ninth by Lynne Farquhar. The game again was a pitcher's battle between Jane Rolston of Blanshard and Exeter's Lia DeJong. Blow Early Lead In Thursday's contest, the Greys started off as if they were going to wrap up the cham- pionship in straight games and preserve their unbeaten record for the entire season. They scored five runs in the first inning and appeared to be on the way to a certain victory. The Blanshard club kept pecking away at the five run margin and scored single runs in each of the fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth In best four out of seven games for the A trophy of the Ailsa Craig & District Fastball League. booted the convert, The South Huron defensive team came up with the final three points in the fourth period. Dennis Pfaff tackled the Clinton punter in the end zone for a two point safety touch and Brad Cann nailed a Clinton player in the end zone on a punt for a single point. The South Huron offence failed to move the ball consistently. They were stopped on the op- posing one yard line on two oc- casions and a pass was dropped In the end zone. Coach Doug Ellison praised the defensive unit. He commented, "Everyone played a solid game. We held Clinton to a total yardage gain of 126. Brad Cann with 11 key tackles was named defensive player of the week for the Panthers. The lop offensive player was Paul Brooks with a strong game in- cluding four kicking points. Paul Pooley was the busiest rusher with 14 carries good for 62 yards, Pete Kincaid gained 58 yards in 10 attempts. Recovering fumbles for South Huron were Mike Westelaken, Brad Cann and Bob Hoffman while Westelaken also in- tercepted a Clinton pass. kickoff went 70 yards and a single point, putting the Panthers in front 20-1. Clinton came on strong in the third period and scored two quick touchdowns, Tim Jewson brought a punt back 65 yards for a score and Jerry Lobb was successful on a 13 yard pass play, Both con- verts were of the two point variety by Larry Carter. This brought Clinton to within two points of getting even until Taylor's final score cinched the verdict for the locals. Doug Mclsaac was named the most outstanding offensive player for the Panthers and Larry Johns took the defensive award. pass in the end zone.

STARTING A BIG RUN — The second touchdown for the South Huron seniors during their 27-18 win Thursday over Central Huron was scored by Doug Mclsaac. Above, Mclsaac is beginning to break through Clinton defenders on his way to the goal line. T-A photo Much controversy is going on currently about the out- come of the big hockey series between Team Canada and the Soviet Union. The big winner regardless of the actual outcome will be the World Hockey Association, The publicity the league is getting plus the tremendous efforts put forth by members of the team is sure to help all teams at the box office. The performance of Team Canada to date has not really been unexpected in this corner, We felt from the beginning (and have collected a couple of wagers to date to prove it) that our team would fare well against the Russians. One must remember that 19 of the 25 members of Canada '74 were stars in the NHL before changing to the new league, This plus the different attitude of everyone involved this time that the Russians would probably be the favorites and the experience of coach Billy Harris in international competition made us brave enough to call for a Canadian victory, To date the performance of the three Howes will assure ,good attendance this year at any games in which the Houston Aeros participate, Gordie has certainly proved to be the super star at the age of 46 and his sons have shown they can play with the "best of them" in any calibre. The few times the Russians have become flustered and strayed from their usual flawless play has been caused by the good hitting of the Canadians and all three Howes have given their share, While speaking of Gordie Howe he will be part of a CTV series to be shown this Sunday night at 10 p.m. The program is called, "The Human Journey- Leadership" and Howe appears with General A. J. Dex- traze, chief of the Defense Staff, Prime Minister Trudeau and many other prominent Canadians. The show studies the different qualities of leadership and Howe is seen by producer Jerry Lawton as having qualities of leadership similar to the great military leaders of the past. In a release which reached our desk last week, the producer said, "I picked Howe because I consider him to be a classic example of an older form of leadership in which the leader is engaged with the followers directly in the task at hand. More than anything else he must lead by ex- ample." Lawton went on to say, "There is a mystique, an aura about him. If Howe weren't one of the greatest hockey players of all time, if his education and circumstances were different, might he also have been equally superb in• business or the military or politics?" The last paragraph of the release probably hit the nail right on the head. It said, "Perhaps the Russians would be less confident if they knew they would be up against a man with the qualities of a superb military general." Good racing form The record of the • Huron Racing Stables in thoroughbred racing this 'summer is' a very good one: Operated jointly by Brian Smillie of Hensall and Dr. Paul Brady of Seaforth, the area stables have won six of their „; last seven starts this year and are looking forward to better things in the near future. At the moment the pride and joy of Smillie and Brady is A Musical Formal, a four year old filly. In a September 6 race A Musical Formal came from fourth place at the top of the stretch to win by a length and a half under urging from jockey Sandy Hawley. The filly was claimed by Huron Stables on July 18 and has gained in purses about half of the $10,000 claiming price since that time. A Musical Formal is being readied for a big race on Oc- tober 27 at Woodbine, She will be entered in the Nettie Stakes, an event with a purse of $30,000 added. The big opposition in this race will come from Trudie Tudor who will probably be ridden by Hawley. If so, the rider for A Musical Formal will likely be Robin Platts. Sports in brief Ran into Jim "Red" Loader at the Hawks junior practice Sunday afternoon. Loader, now a resident of Petrolia has completely recovered from a heart attack more than a year ago. He said he would take another year off from any coaching duties. Bill Fairbairn of Exeter will be trying to gain a spot with the Toledo Goal Diggers in the International hockey league. Fairbairn played most of last year with the Lucan- Ilderton Jets after suffering an injury in a pre-season trial with Port Huron. The coach this year at Toledo is Ted Garvin who had a very brief stay with the Detroit Red Wings after a successful coaching career in Sarnia and Port Huron. One of the newest expansion clubs in the National hockey league, the Washington Capitals are holding train- ing camp at the London Gardens and will be seen in a couple more exhibition games. The Capitals handled by ex-Bruin Milt Schmidt will meet the Detroit Red Wings Wednesday, October 2 and will take on the* other expansion team from Kansas City, the following Saturday. Both games are at the Gardens. The new coach of the Windsor Spitfires in the Southern junior OHA grouping is former NHL star Dick Duff, First practice sessions for the Roanoke Valley Rebels in the Central hockey league will be held October 8. Hensall native Jack Chipchase is expected to be one of the mainstays of the club. Chipchase has been named the "most valuable and most inspirational player on the Rebels team for the last couple of years, Al Kalirie of the Detroit Tigers is only one hit short of reaching the 3,000 mark in the American league. Kaline slammed his 299th base hit Sunday afternoon and should reach the coveted mark this week, probably in his horrie town of Baltimore. A member of the Point Edward junior club when they played the Exeter Hawks a few years age, Len Fontaine has jumped from the Detroit Red Wings to the Michigan Stags of the World Hockey Association. In Our Showroom South Huron High School's two football teams opened the Huron- Perth Conference season on the right foot Thursday with con- vincing wins over Central Huron of Clinton. In the opening game of a twin bill on the South Huron grounds, the local juniors downed Clinton by a score of 13-1. The senior Panthers finished a good day with a 27-18 decision. In an exhibition doubleheader in Strathroy, Tuesday, South Huron clubs didn't fare so well. Both clubs came out on the short end of the score. The juniors suffered an 18-0 setback while the seniors were edged 7-6. Early Lead Disappears After running up a 20-1 lead at half time the senior Panthers were forced to hang on late in the game as Clinton came on strong. The Clinton club was able to cut the South Huron margin to 20-18 midway through the fourth quarter. The only concentrated second half attack by the Panthers came late in the fourth period. The defensive team came up with a good performance and got the ball back near the midfield stripe. The big play in the scoring series was a 32 yard reverse by Ken Pinder. Brian Taylor took the ball over in two tries from the eight yard line. Rob Dickey booted the extra point. Clinton took a 1-0 lead in the first series of plays in the game taking advantage of the wind to kick a single point. Halfway through the first quarter, Van Tuckey broke through the Clinton line and blocked a kick. He was able to come up with the ball and raced 40 yards for a touchdown. Consistent running by Brian Taylor, Doug Mclsaac and Dave Little Scoring In the junior contest, neither team could come up with much consistency on the offence, The first half produced only four points as South Huron scored three points on a field goal from the toe of Paul Brooks and the Clinton team punted for a single point. The first touchdown of the game came in the third quarter when quarterback Perry Pooley hit Steve Knight with a 20 yard Lovell kept the ball in Clinton territory for most of the opening period. Early in the second, Doug Mclsaac swept around the right side of the opposing line and went 27 yards and another major score, Late in the second half, Dave Lovell scored the third South Huron touchdown on a four yard gallop. Instrumental in getting the ball into scoring position were runs of 17 yards by Taylor and 25 by Lovell.
