The junior Panthers won their second game of the season by blanking Stratford Central by a score of 12-0 while their senior counterparts dropped their first game of the season by a score of 19-7. The senior club with a season's record of three victories and Thursday's defeat are in a first place tie with Goderich, Norwell, Stratford Northwestern and Stratford Central. The' junior team with two victories in five starts and four points to their credit are in fifth place in the Conference stan- dings. Junior coach Dave Cox was happy with his team's per- formance in defeating Stratford Central. Cox commented, "In spite of terrible field conditions, the team stuck together for 60 minutes and did what they had to do to win. Special mention should go to centre Jim Romphf who did a good job on long snaps for punts." The first South Huron touch- down came in the second quarter when Dan Bell raced 75 yards into the Stratford end zone after recovering a fumble. In the fourth period, Brian Mercer galloped 14 yards for the second and final South Huron major score.The Panthers held an edge in the statistical department with 10 first downs to eight for their opposition and a margin in yards rushing of 146- 111. Backup quarterback Dave Bogart was called into service for the first time this year and turned in a creditable performance. Regular signal caller Dave Atthill was out because of an injury. Due to a number of injuries several players were forced to play both an offence and defence and coach Cox listed Rob Pryde, Joe Becker, Brian Rader and - John Byrne as playing excellent games both ways. Craig "Moby" DeGraw was tops on defence. The field was a quagmire and part of the game was played during a blizzard when it was difficult to see the far side of the Seniors led at half The senior Panthers were able to hold a slim 7-6 lead at half-time but that was the end of their scoring for the day. Steve Knight chalked up the only South Huron touchdown on a run of eight yards in the second quarter and Paul Brooks was successful on the convert. Total offence of both clubs was low due mainly to the poor field conditions. The Panthers gained 82 yards on the ground and 71 In many European countries, driving with seat belt un- fastened is a traffic offense. fi Consider waxing your car's vinyl roof. it'll look better, wear longer. * * * Free booklet will help you choose the best, safest car-seat for your child.

They were helped by 50 yards in penalties. Ken Pinder gained 42 yards on 13 carries. Quarterback John Van Gerwen was successful on four of 15 pass attempts, The longest gains were 30 yards to Gord Baird and 25 yards to Phil Knight. Coach Ron Bogart suggested after the game that over con- fidence due to a lopsided victory the week previous was costly to his club. Bogart continued, "We met a very fired-up eager team which took advantage of our mistakes and they were plenty. We lacked desire. and spirit and without thiS it's,impossible to win." HULLY GULLY The final Motocross of 1976 was held Sunday at Hully Gully, near Varna. Under the worst of weather conditions over 200 hotshoes competed for over $3,000 in prizes and awards, with Gary Burke of London, being the big winner of the day. He took the gra nde prize of a 1976 Suzuki motocross Racer. Burke, on a Yamaha, edged out four Suzuki riders who were tied for second in the Good- Time Motocross Series. Team. Sarnia put on a great push to come out ahead of Otter- valley (Tills onburg) and Maitland (Walton) in the Team Comnntitinn . The Lucan Irish and Tavistock Braves played to a 5-5 tie in an Ontario Hockey Association Western Junior "D" game in Ilderton Sunday night. This week the Irish will play host to the Mitchell Hawks at the Ilderton arena Sunday night at 7 Pm. Gard Moon and Jim Maguire scored for the Irish in the first period as the clubs battled to a 2-2 tie. Tavistock scored the only goal of the second period to take a one goal margin on the scoreboard. The Irish broke loose in the early moments of the third period and scored three times in a space of three minutes to take a tem- porary 5-3 lead. Rick Freeman scored two of the quick counters for the Lucan club and Brad Taylor notched the other, Tavistock retaliated and was able to even the score with about eight minutes remaining. Royals best in touch The Exetee and district men's touch football championship was won Sunday by the Royals as the result of a resounding 33-0 victory over Usborne in Sunday's final. Grand Bend won the con- solation title by blanking the Guess Whos 6-0. lllll tutwittimutntittlItiflitittutOttulnlv An interesting recreation Family car rallies are becoming quite popular in Ex- eter and area. The second rally of the season Sunday after- noon attracted a total of 38 vehicles. The route was 57 miles through the southern part of Huron county and briefly into portions of Perth, Although directions did not include Middlesex county, several vehicles ventured a bit farther to the south. The rallies have been sponsored by the Crazy 8 group which is made up of eight couples. This club was formed several months ago to raise monies for the South Huron Recreation Centre fund. The original financial objective of the Crazy 8 was $1,- 000 and the total raised to date is in excess of $800. A third car rally is being planned for Sunday, November 28. This will be the final chance of 1976 for area residents to get lost and this writer will likely be included among the suspects. Our car travelled about 15 miles more on Sunday than the prescribed route called for but our navigator failed to read far enough in advance and had trouble deciding which number followed 24. It really is 25 instead of 28, While on the subject of raising monies for the South Huron Recreation Centre, the elimination draw and stag held Thursday at the Huron Park recreation centre raised in excess of $2,300. • Special thanks should go to the South Huron fund rais- ing executive and the Exeter Lions club in sponsoring a very successful event. One of the features of the evening was the frog races. Most of the entrants had a lot of trouble finding frogs at this time of the year but one contestant had more than his share of ill luck. Before the races began, Jim Guenther was very enthusiastic about the chances of his frog Victor who show- ed great speed in a few practice sprints. But when the race started, that's when, Victor failed his owner. We have heard the term "he died" many times in horse racing or other sporting events, but that's exactly what happened to Victor. He died at the starting line. Planning fall and winter season More registrations are needed to make several winter recreation programs sponsored in Exeter by the RAP com- mittee successful and feasible. Recreation director Jim McKinlay reports the only ex- tensive registration is in gymnastics where about 85 boys andgirls have already signed up. For the first time in recent years a male member has been added to the gymnastics instruction staff and this will hopefLtll encourage More boys to participate. Gayle Ecker heads up the gymnastics staff and she will be assisted by Janet Gielen, Lillian Bowerman and Scott Flear. Registration in ballet totals only about a dozen at the present time, McKinlay said he was fortunate in getting the services of Kelly Sawartman to teach this class. Kelly has her grade 10 in ballet and has. taught for two years in Goderich before coming to Exeter. Anyone wishing to participate in ladies volleyball should attend sessions each Thursday night at the small gym at South Huron District High School at 7:30 p.m. More participants are needed for Saturday morning minor basketball and floor hockey. The start of both programs have been postponed until Saturday, November 6 to allow more boys and girls to register. A minimum of 12 registrations from boys or girls aged between eight and 15 years is necessary to allow the programs to get underway. The fate of a proposed men's basketball from Exeter in a district league is not known at the moment. If enough in- terest is not forthcoming a local house league may be form- ed. The executive of the Exeter and district rec hockey league will be meeting this week to formulate plans for the coming season. Current plans call for games each Sunday night at the Hensall arena. The first attempt at playing touch football locally was a distinct success this year and a lot of interest has been shown for expansion in 1977. The Royals won Sunday's championship game and Grand Bend won the consolation crown. The league schedule this year consisted of only three games for each club. Far off plans for next year call for a start right after Labour Day with possibly, six teams in competition. This gives a chance to the same type of fellows who play rec softball and basketball to fill in a few fall and autumn weeks with healthful recreation. Back to hockey Now that all the excitement of the recent Canada Cup hockey series is over serious consideration should be given to the type of team which will represent our country in the 1976 World championships. During the Canada Cup series mention was made several times that the Canadian team to be sent to Vienna next April would be made up of players from clubs which have been eliminated from Stanley Cup playoffs. In our opinion this would not be satisfactory. There is no doubt that the 1976 Canada Cup series produced untold drama that revitalized the game of hockey and brought back fan support which Canadian hockey expected in years gone by. We heard during one of the broadcasts a suggestion that the World' competitions should be scheduled around National Hockey league playoffs to allow our best to com- pete, This could also work the other way and our top pro league could design the schedule to free players for that two week period in April each year, v#78/8 dsk tee DEMONSTRATORS i"-• Clearance 6700 miles.
