COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE EXETER TEAM Page 10 Times-Advocate, August 25, 1977 Win close match at Kincardine Big test here, Saturday Swimmers prep for region meet Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Hockey so soon While a lot of summer and fall sports are only in full sw- ing a quick look at the calendar tells us the hockey season is not very far away, In fact one team in the Senior Continental league will be holding its first practice in about two weeks and a half. Manager Don Urbshott of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets tells us his team will hold its first workout at the Huron Park arena on Monday, September 12 between the hours of 8 and 10 p.m. Practices will continue for the same hours on September 15 and 19. The club has scheduled two pre-season exhibition games each with the Stratford Perths and the London Kings with the first game of the schedule set for the Lucan arena on October 14 with Port Stanley supplying the opposition. The Jets are forced to use the Huron Park ice facility for the first few weeks because of a hockey school and the annual Ilderton Fall Fair. New coach Jack Chipchase has issued invitations to a number of Exeter and area prospects and he is already holding skating sessions this week for those wishing to get a little extra leg work in. The Exeter Hawks will also get an early start in the defence of their Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" championship. Coach Ron. Bogart is calling the first prac- tice sometime during the third week of September. The first Hawk sessions will also be at Huron Park. The Western grouping in which the Hawks play is again broken into divisions. A slight change is being made in the playoff structure for next spring. This time the winners of the two area divisions will meet in the first round of provin- , del playoffs. Hope for a sunny future The Milverton Suns are on their way this week to British Columbia and the Canadian ladies senior fastball championship. The Suns won the Ontario title a couple of weeks ago go: ing through the final championship series undefeated and should be one of the favorites to bring home the national crown. A lot of fans in this area will be keeping an eye on the west as two local girls are members of the Milverton team. They are Lynne Farquhar, daughter of Grace and Aub Farquhar of the Exeter bowling lanes and Iris Motz. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ross Marshall who now reside in Grand Bend. Pros in the area The 1977-78 National Hockey league season is still some time away but a goodly number of players who may make headlines in the coming season are not far away this week. About 20 which includes several established NHL per- formers are at the Huron Hockey School at Huron Park this week. Among those in attendance this week are John Marks and Bob Murray of the Chicago Black Hawks, Paul Nicholson of the Washington Capitals and Paul Holmgren from the Philadelphia Flyers. Next week Bob Murdock and a couple other New York Rangers will head another contingent of professionals. Included are a lot of top draft choices of NHL teams. The players are sent here by their pro clubs to get in a little extra early conditioning. We talked briefly Monday morning with Bob Murray of the Black Hawks. He is back for the second consecutive year and feels the extra skating and workouts he received here put him in good stead for the regular season. Most of the NHL clubs will have at least one player here during the two week sessions for the professionals. Doug Riseborough of the Montreal Canadiens spent a week at Huron Park in both 1975 and 1976. Exciting entertainment Saturday there will be a little more activity and splashing than usual at the Exeter swimming pool. Boys and girls from eight communities will be in town to par- ticipate in the annual Lake Huron Zone regional swim meet. The Exeter team should be one of the favorites to win the overall championship. The local youngsters have a cou- ple of pluses on their side. They have won the title twice in the past three years and have beaten all of Saturday's opponents in some meet or other earlier this year. In addition, the advantage of swimming in their own pool should be good for a couple of points along with the fact the home team comes up with a few more competitors which usually allows the fielding of an extra relay team or two and several more points. The meet gets underway at 9 a.m. and should provide continuous action throughout most of the day, A couple of hours at the local pool Saturday could be a good way to pass away part of the weekend. The change from one sport to another for a district athlete will be very quick. Doug Mclsaac of Dashwood, a graduate of South Huron District High School left this week for football training camp at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo. Over the weekend Doug helped the Dashwood Tigers to oust the Crediton Mets an advance to OBA playdowns and this week he will be donning the football pads in Waterloo. Doug was a hard running back in both junior and senior ranks at South Huron and should have a good shot at making the WL team. The coach at Wilfred Laurier is Tuffy Knight who has appeared at several football banquets at the high school and was master of ceremonies at one of the recent Exeter Lions Sportsmen's dinners, Knight has a very optimistic attitude which he passes on to all of his players. He told us one night, "my teams never lose, they just suffer a temporary setback." The Fullarton gun club proved to be the best in an exhibition match against members of the Exeter claybird gun club Saturday afternoon. Each team used five shooters with one replacement. Fullarton won by a score of 426 to 400. Louie Morella led ,the Fullarton club with 91 hits and Ernie Marshall was next with 90. Next came Cal Christie at 89 and Roy Cummings at 87. Dividing the other spot were Dave Smith at 41 and Stan Christie with 38. Bill McNutt with a 94 led the Kirkton gals win opener After a long layoff the Kirkton midget girls started their first round of playoffs Monday night with a 8-1 win over St, Pauls. Kirkton opened the scoring in the first inning with four runs. They never looked back, adding two runs in the second on a bunt squeeze play when the pitcher overthrew Jayne Dougall's bunt, allowing both runners to score. Two more runs were scored in the fourth to complete the scoring. Patti Down went the distance for Kirkton allowing only two hits but giving up four walks. Kirkton had only two errors and came up with some sharp fielding plays. With one out and a runner on first, Sheila Penhale snagged a line drive at third and caught the runner off first. Kelly "Pearl" Kernick and Kim "Slugger" Heather, two first year players each banged out two singles with Bonnie "Snag" Westlake, Sue Schaefer and Patti Down adding singles. The second game of the best of three series was played Wed- nesday night in St. Pauls with a third game to be scheduled in St. Pauls, if necessary. Exeter competitors with Neil Romphf next at 81 and Larry Mason with 76. Completing the local scores were Randy Stanlake 48 and Jody Mosurinjohn at 43.

Charlie Browning and Bill Inch were next at 11 and Bonnie McNutt and Randy Stanlake completed the scores at eight and seven, respectively. By DAVE SI LCOCK The Grand Bend based Huron- Lambton pee-wee all stars moved into the fourth Round of the 1977 Ohio International Cup with two exciting victories over the weekend. In second round play at Grand Bend Saturday, the local soccer stars defeated St. Thomas Majors 8-4. Left-winger Kevin Coyne and centre-forward Charlie Wise had three goals each while inside-forwards John Elliott and Mike Wedlock added singles. Sunday, the All Stars travelled to Sir Winston Churchill Park to Resort area squad record playoff wins of rain. A soccer as broom. Lucan opened the scoring on a penalty kick awarded against Exeter 25 minutes into the match. The kick, taken by Pete Bakker, was an unstoppable shot that beat Centennial keeper Paul Van Esbroeck to the lower right corner of his net. The Centennial reply came two minutes later when John Muller at centre banged in a pass from midfielder Dick Lord, relaying a corner-kick from right-winger Al Hern who was later injured. Hern, always an excellent performer, received heavy bruises to his ribs and right leg after a collision with Lucan defenders that put him, out of the game near the end of the first half, The Centennials took a while to settle themselves against Lucan's kick-and-run attacks on a small-sized field. But once organized, they got and kept the balance of play in hand until the i referee's questionable stoppage of the game. The Centennials will be away at Ailsa Craig next Sunday at 6 p.m. for their final game of the regular season. Association play-offs will begin after the Labour Day weekend. take on their Cambridge coun- terparts in round three. Before the visitors had time to settle down, Cambridge stormed into a two goal lead. Huron- Lambton fought back in tremendous fashion, scoring seven, unanswered goals before the final whistle. Nick Vandenberk capped off a good display with two well taken goals, as did Kevin Coyne. Tony Gillings, Mike Wedlock and Charlie Wise were the other Huron-Lambton scorers. Special congratulations go out to the Grand Bend and Huron- Lambton half-balk Tony Gib- bings, Last week Tony was picked to represent Ontario in the 1977 Canadian minor soccer championships. thing as unusual in curling without a Elizabeth Cottrell once again proved undefeated as she placed first in all three of her individual events.
