The. Hawks off to a very slow beginning have been showing plentyof promise in the last three weeks and have come up with six victories and a tie in their last seven starts, The main reason for the excellent showing by the Hawks in recent games has been the outstanding goal ten- ding by Randy Lovie. The Grand Bend area youngster has been providing coach Bourne and the Hawks with the steady puck stopping which is necessary in putting together a good hockey team, regardless of the category or calibre of play. The Hawks are now in sixth place in the league stan- dings and appear to be: ready to make a good run in the playoffs. More top guests The latest announcement on head table guests at the February 4 Sportsmen's Dinner sponsored by the Exeter Lions club should make the event a tremendous success. Fred Shero, coach of the Stanley Cup champion Philadelphia Flyers has agreed to attend the Tuesday night banquet. Travel arrangements have been made to allow Shero to get back to New York for a game the following night. The appearance of Mike Jorgensen of the Montreal Ex- pos has also been confirmed and Ailsa Craig auto race driver Earl Ross is almost a sure thing. Add fellows like Shelley Goudreau, Tuffy Knight, Ken Doig, Russ Evon, George Parkes, Glenn Weir, Mike Widger and Ron Leflore, to the main speaker Jack Donohue and an excellent evening of entertainment is assured. Completing the list is Whipper Bill Watson and the National Timmy. Tickets which sell for $25 are now available from all Lions Club members and various other outlets. Not only will your contribution go the the very worthwhile cause of crippled kids but personal enjoyment derived should be un- definable. • After weekend play in the Senior Continental league the standings:provide some interesting information.

As a result of the Games at Thunder Bay, an Ontario team of 235 athletes will be participating in the Canada Winter Games in Lethbridge from February 10 to 24. In future years, the Ontario Games will be scheduled at a different time of the year to allow for more training and preparation for Canada Games.
