games against Goderich next
The undefeated streak of the
two South Huron District High
School football teams continues
but for the seniors their record
was in jeopardy for most of
Thursday's game.
The senior Panthers scored an
uncoverted touchdown with about
six minutes remaining in 'the
fourth quarter to post a 6-4
decision over a stubborn Strat-
ford Northwestern team.
The junior game wasn't quite
as close with the locals gaining a
20-6 win over Northwestern. Both
games were played in Stratford.
This week the two Panther
teams go to Listowel for a
doubleheader today, Thursday
and return to their home field
Tuesday afternoon for probably
their toughest games of the year.
In Tuesday's contests they will
meet the Goderich Vikings. Both
Goderich teams are also un-
defeated at the moment and have
been winning by decisive
margins.
In the first half of the senior
game, John Gould's excellent
punting kept the Panthers in
contention. The only scoring in
the first half was a Stratford field
goal.
Hockey rule changes
to check highsticking
Stratford did come close again
midway through the second
quarter but an interception by
Larry Johns again took South
Huron out of trouble.
The only scoring of the third
period was a Stratford kick which
went for a single point.
The Panthers attack started to
roll in the fourth period. Doug
Mclsaac gained 24 yards on an
outside sweep. The attack bogged
down a bit and John Gould booted
the ball 60 yards and Brian
Tuckey tackled the Stratford
defender on the one yard line.
On third down deep in their own
territory the Stratford punter
tried to throw a pass but it went
incomplete and the Panthers took
over.
Quarterback John Van Gerwen
wasted little time in going to the
air and he hit Brad Murray in the
end zone with a perfect 25 yard
pass. Three Northwestern
defenders were draped all over
Murray but he was able to make
a spectacular catch. Pass in-
terference was called on the play
but it was declined.
In a post game summary South
Huron coach Ron Bogart said,
"we may have been just a bit
confident after two big wins but
we can't take anything away
from, Northwestern. they axe
61g, strong and good hitters, I
hope we don't have to meet them
in the playoffs."
Diversified attack
In the junior game, the South
Huron scoring was well spread
around with three youngsters
each scoring one touchdown.
After a scoreless first quarter,
Perry Pooley went over for the
first Panther score on a four yard
quarterback keep and Paul
Brooks booted the extra point.
Brooks upped the score to 8-0
early in the third quarter when a
missed field goal attempt went
for a single point. Later in the
same period, Steve Knight went
off tackle for six yards and a
touchdown. The convert failed.
The third and final South Huron
major score came in the fourth
quarter when Larry Regier in-
tercepted a Stratford forward
pass and galloped 35 yards into
the opposing end zone.
Stratford scored a touchdown
late in the game and the final
score was 20-6.
Paul Pooley who gained 61
yards in 12 attempts was named
the best offensive player for the
Panthers while the defensive
award went to Larry Regier, He
also gained 20 yards in two punt
returns.
Turning in strong defensive
games with key tackles were
Paul Brooks, Ken Govers and
Brad Cann. Bob Hoffman blocked
a punt in the first quarter. Perry
Knee also recovered a Stratford
fumble.

should a player carry any part of
his stick above the normal height
of his shoulder, within a stick
length of an opponent.
Should contact take place
between any part of the stick and
any part of the face, head or neck
of an opponent while being

Among approved amendments

must wear black helmets for the
start of the 1975-76 season.
Delegates to the Ontario Minor
Hockey Association annual
meeting in Toronto Saturday
endorsed several rule changes in
an attempt to decrease the in-
cidence of fighting and rough
play.
Attending the convention from
the Exeter Minor Hockey
Association were president Ron
Horn, past president Bev Skin-
ner and secretary Bill Batten.
Also in attendance were Jim
Freeman from Lucan and Gord
Brown of Grand Bend.
The three major changes ex-
tended the no fighting rule
established last year, clarified
the interpretation of high sticking
and put more emphasis on the
coach in controlling his players.
Effective for the 1974.75 which
starts this week in many areas,
any player who is assessed a five
minute penalty for fighting will in
addition be assessed a game
misconduct penalty.
A new rule already adopted by
the CAHA takes care of in-
fractions of butt ending and
spearing. Automatic match
penalties go to players charged
with these offences.
The motion to amend the rules
governing high sticking came
from the Burford Minor Hockey
Association. It was passed
How popular is Hockey Night in Canada?
A recent release from Frank Selke Jr, who is in charge
of marketing and promotion for the Canadian Sports
Network Limited tells us it is the fifth most watched
program on television.
A survey taken in January of this year showed 4,794,-
000 watched the Saturday night hockey telecasts and the
program was beaten in ratings only by Walt Disney, All In
the Family, The Waltons and the Partridge Family.
The survey indicates about 20 per cent of all Canadians
watch the Saturday night hockey games. The count on
Wednesday is down to a little less than four million due to
the somewhat limited distribution of the English language
telecasts on CTV.
NHL hockey appears to be watched and enjoyed by
large female audiences, In the recent survey 1,4 million
women watched the games.
During the 1973-74 Stanley Cup playoffs the watching
audience rose to five and a half million.
If the type of play shown by the Toronto Toros in their
first exposure to television this year is any indication of
what is to come the Global network broadcasts will get
plenty of viewers in Ontario.
Although the score was a little lopsided, the perfor-
mances by the Toros and the New England Whalers was ex-
citing to say the least.
Both goalies Gilles Grattan of Toronto and Al Smith of
the Whalers were outstanding and the close to 10 thousand
fans at Maple Leaf Gardens were thrilled with Frank
Mahovlich's three goals and the good play of Veclav
Neomansky formerly of the Czech national team. Add to
this fellows like Paul Henderson and Wayne Dillon and the
Toros should be very successful.
This will give Toronto fans a chance to see two top
notch teams at Maple Leaf Gardens with the obvious im-
provement of the Maple Leafs.
At the time of writing the Leafs remain unbeaten along
with the Los Angeles Kings which has to be a big surprise.
The Leafs appear to be a solid club this year with a good
mixture of youngsters and enough veterans to provide the
necessary experience.
Probably most rewarding to Leaf officials was the
success last year of five rookies.Very seldom does a team in
any professional sport come up with such a group of new-
comers.
Leading the pack of good second year men are the two
Swedes Borje Salming and Inge Hammarstrom. Salming is
definitely all star potential this year and on many nights
last year Hammarstrom looked like Russian Valery
Kharlamov. He ,doesn't need to get any better just a little
more consistent.
If it wasn't for Salming, Leaf fans would be ecstatic
about the play of Ian Turnbull on defence. Also popular on
defence is big Bob Neely.
The fifth outstanding rookie last year and far from the
least is Lanny MacDonald. Add to this newcomers like Cow-
Blaitie Stoughton and Lyle Moffatt.
The Leafs goal tending should also be stronger as coach
Red Kelly 'goes back to two men instead' of last year's'
system of three when none of the trio found himself in the
nets often enough.
The Toros may be getting on more of an even par with
the Leafs in a couple of other divisions. No one will question
the coaching abilities of Billy Harris and the broadcast
crew has big league atmosphere.
Mike Anscombe, a native of Tillsonburg who worked on
the Montreal Canadien broadcasts last year is with the
Toros as play-by-play announcer and former star
defenceman Carl Brewer does the colour commentary.
An extra bonus
Players on the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple
Leafs have an additional incentive for personal effort and
accomplishment, the Molson Cup. At the start of the 1972-73
season a new individual award, the Molson Cup, was put up
for competition amongst members of the Montreal
Canadiens.
Molson's Brewery (Quebec) Limited donated the cup
and determined the winner by adding up all the first, second
and third star selections accorded Canadiens players in all
regular season games, both home and away.
As well as the overall season winner, there was a
winner and runner-up for each of five segments of the
schedule. The monthly winner received $1,000; the runner-
up, $500, The overall cumulative winner received another
$1,000 and a beautiful trophy,
Ken Dryden won the 1972-73 Molson Cup and the award
was so well received by fans, press and players that
Molson's Brewery (Ontario) Limited decided to provide a
similar award for members of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Last year's winners were Canadiens' goalie Wayne Thomas
and Leafs' starry Swedish rookie, Borje Salming.
For every first star selection a player gets 5 points, for
second star he gets 4 points and for a third star he gets 3
points.
Once again the season will be divided into five
segments. October and November combined are the first
segment, December, January and February, the second,
third and fourth and March and April the fifth.
Both Montreal and Toronto team managements have
expressed their approval of the award. Leaf coach "Red"
Kelly felt it provided a further degree of incentive to his
players, not only for the monetary rewards to be won, but
for the recognition of a consistently high standard of play.
In Montreal, General Manager Sam Pollock believes that
friendly competition amongst teammates is a "bonus"
from which the team as well as the individual players can
benefit.
The three star selections are made in Montreal and
Toronto games, both home and away, by Hockey Night in
Canada.
The favourites this season appear to be Daryll Sittler
and Yvan Cournoyer but they'll receive plenty of keen com-
petition. Hockey Night in Canada will provide progress
reports throughout the season.
The Exeter Hawks were less
than successful in their first
regular game of the season in the
Ontario Hockey Association
Junior "D" western division in
Lambeth Sunday afternoon.
The Lambeth Flyers playing on
home ice scored two goals in the
first period and added four more
in each of the next two periods to
pile up a 10-1 victory. The Hawks
only score came in the early
moments of the third period.
The Hawks will be back in
action at the Exeter arena,
Friday night at 8:30 with the
Mitchell Hawks supplying the
opposition.
The only Exeter goal of the
afternoon came on a three way
passing effort.Gerald Weido fired
the successful shot with assists
going to Murray Parsons and
John Beer.
The Lambeth club was
assessed 16 of the 27 penalties
including a misconduct to Elton
Kennedy. Included were fighting
majors to Randy Gilfillan of the
Hawks and Terry Collard of
Lambeth.
In an exhibition game Wed-
nesday night in Lucan, the Hawks
and the Irish battled to a 4-4 tie.
A goal at the 5.59 of the third
period by Wayne Regier allowed
Terry Bourne's club to get on
even terms with Lucan. The
assist went to Brian Taylor.
Lucan took a commanding 3-1
lead in the first 20 minutes of play
on goals by Mike Wraith, Ed
Robb and Jim Maguire, Replying
for the Hawks was Steve Jen-
nison on passes from Randy
Gilfillan and Donnie McKellar.
The Hawks bounced back in the
middle frame and notched the
only two ggoals to cvenithe score.
Hard, Smits notched the first
score afs 6.p on. a play started by
Dwayne Molloy and Steve Jen-
nison. The next goal came about
seven minutes later from the
stick of Jennison with the assists
