Lucan's third period goal to give them a temporary 4-3 lead came from the stick of Mike Wraith for his second score of the night. praise for his entire team. He singled out Janet Gielen and Lucy Van Esbroeck who sacrificed personal glory to join the senior team and help in the school victory. Janet who finished second was eligible for the junior team and Lucy a first year midget was third. She could have entered the midget class and along with Janet could have been winners in their respective divisions, In the midget boys classification Paul Wareing finished fourth despite falling twice and also qualified to go to WOSSA. Paul Gaiser and Dennis Preszcator also turned in fine performances with the midget team. Members of the junior team were Martin Van Raay, Paul Van Esbroeck, Kevin Wareing, Mark Laye and Ron Milton, The senior boys team which also qualified for WOSSA in- cluded Kevin Bestard, Don Van Raay, Tony Kyle and George Van Esbroeck, Panther gridders win again, 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. following lengthy debate and a recount of votes of the record number of 894 delegates. A minor penalty will be called 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 carried in a non-normal manner, a major penalty shall be handed' out. And should injury result because of this action, a major penalty plus a game misconduct shall be assessed. Coaches whose teams persist with rough play and miscaducts 'will also be liable for penalties. A coach will be suspended for his next OMHA game should his team accumulate more than a specified number of penalty minutes in an OMHA game. The allowable times before suspensions take place are 25 minutes for pee wee and classes below and 36 minutes for minor bantam and above. Among approved amendments were those calling for all games to be played on a stop time basis and one stipulating all referees 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
