The Exeter Hawks didn't
win either of their first two
starts in the western Junior
"D" loop this week, but they
may have won some con-
fidence from local fans with
two creditable showings .
Facing a mammoth
rebuilding program, the
Hawks were not given much
chance by many fans this
season, but the young club
gave a good account of
themselves in both contests
and indicated they won't be
pushovers for anyone this
season.
In their home opener,
Friday, the locals stuck with
the powerful Lucan Irish for
the first two periods before
dropping 6-4 verdict.
Sunday night, they
travelled to Port Stanley and
were nipped by only a one
goal margin as the Lions won
7-6.
Friday night, the Hawks
will face their namesakes
from Mitchell at the rec
centre at 8:30 and Sunday
they'll play host to Seaforth
in a 7:30 start.
After dropping a 12-0
exhibition verdict to the
Irish, the Hawks showed a
complete reversal of form,
Friday, as they hung with
one of the teams expected to
be near the top of the loop
this season.
Exeter opened up a 3-2
lead in the first and the
teams were tied at three
apiece at the end .of two
before Lucan capped the win
with three tallies in the final
stanza.
Cam Haist opened the
scoring for Exeter on a solo
effort at the 5:16 mark and
Dave Kinsman made it 2-0 on
a play with Dwight Consitt
and Dennis Preszcator
before the Irish hit the score
sheet on a power play effort
finished off by Keith Hart-
wick.
Ralph Wells evened the,
count for Lucan at the 11:53
mark on a play with Hart-
wick before Preszcator shot
the Hawks back into the lead
at the 18:39 mark with the
assists going to Bryan Baker
and Doug Fletcher.
Wells scored his second of
the night for Lucan near the
end of the second on a power
play to send the teams into
the third with three goals
each.
The Irish took a quick lead
when Ralph Davidson
blinked the light, but
Preszcator notched his.
second of the night for the
Hawks on an unassisted
effort at the 2:33 mark to
even the count at 4-4.
However, Dean Densmore
popped the eventual winner
only 25 seconds later and
Paul Medd put the game out
of reach with another
marker at the 18:26 point of
the final stanza.
Steve Sararas stopped 23
shots for the Hawks, the
same number recorded by
Murray Jamieson for the
Irish.
Referee Ivan Bryce
handed out 22 penalties to the
Lucan crew, including three
majors and a major
misconduct, while the
Hawks had 18 penalties with
two majors.
Blow lead
In Port Stanley on Sunday,
the Hawks again failed to
hold a two goal margin for
the first period as they went
down to their second straight
defeat of the young season.
Port Stanley evened the
count at 2-2 with the only
scoring of the second and the
teams really turned the guns
loose in the final period with
the home crew outscoring
the Hawks by a 5-4 margin.
Dan Bell was a two-goal
man to pace the Hawks in
their scoring attack and he
added one assist. The single
tallies were fired home by
Ken Varley, Preston
Dearing, Dwight Consitt and
Kerry Bedard.
Earning two assists were
Bedard and Brad Taylor,
while helping out on one goal
each were Tom Coates, Dave

It's over
The 1979 World Series is now history despite the
fact celebrations are probably still going on in
Pittsburgh.
The Pirate power proved to be too much for the
Orioles, but, all in all it wasn't a good series as far as
the brand of ball was concerned.
Before we get too critical it should be pointed out
that the extremely cold weather was probably respon-
sible for a lot of the miscues.
We would guess that the best perfomarices turned
in by anyone connected with the seven game
Classic would be by the umpires.
The players made errors, the managers could be
faulted on several occasions, but, the men in blue were
excellent in their calls. There were no serious
arguments at all. The only instances close to
arguments came on a balk and an interference play
and only amounted to discussions.
This bears out our theory that in most cases in
most sports if the players didn't make any more mis-
takes than the officials we would have pretty good and
exciting entertainment.
Oriole manager Earl Weaver who has a reputation
as an umpire baiter was extremely quiet throughout
the series. Earl is the fellow that pulled his team off
the field in Toronto a couple of years ago when of-
ficials refused to move a tarpaulin from near the foul
lines.
Despite the shoddy fielding at times, the just con-
cluded series was exciting from a spectator stand-
point. We didn't get the speed on the bases that was ex-
pected.
Pirates speedy outfielder Omar Moreno failed to
steal any bases. There were three reasons for
Moreno's failure on the base paths. Baltimore left
handers Scott McGregor and Mike Flanagan kept
Moreno in check. In fact, several times, Moreno was
heading back to first when the ball was on the way to
the plate.
Secondly, Moreno didn't find first bast very often
in the first five games and when he did the threat of
Rick Dempsey's strong throwing arm kept him in
check.
While Moreno didn't burn up the base paths, his
wife was the highlight of the series as far as one of our
colleagues was concerned.
Her charming smile and expert whistle tooting
caught many times by the television camera won the
heart of our fellow employee.
New construction
When the Toronto Blue Jays take to the spring
training field come next February there will be many
changes. The most visible will be the amendment to
their official logo and the appearance of a new
manager.
The current Blue Jay crest will be joined across
the top by an "Under Construction" sign and Bobby
Mattick will be the manager.
When his appointment was first made, the favorite
comment was "Bobby Who". Mattick has an im-
pressive record as a scout and is responsible for the
"bird dogging" of a lot of name players now in the big
leagues.
In making the announcement Toronto general
manager Peter Bavasi said Mattick had three impor-
tant qualities. They were his "good communication,
strong instructional ability and imagination".
To be added to that is a very important ingredient
of patience. Mattick now at the age of 63 has worked
for many years with young ball players and he has to
possess a lot of patience.
All that remains to be seen is if the Blue Jays fans
and Toronto press have the same patience as the new
manager.
The Jays have been faulted during the past year
for not going after name players in the free agent
market. As far as we are concerned there is lots of
time for that.
Let the young players have two or three years to
mature, then, go after a big name or two and possibly
the same thing in a manager and work for a pennant.
Just remember it took Montreal Expos 11 years to
get into serious contention. We would be willing to
wager a small amount that the Blue Jays will be close
to a pennant by at least the year 1985.
Fish were scarce
The only thing missing from the weekend fishing
derby in Bayfield was the fish themselves. Billed as a
rainbow trout derby, they proved to very elusive. In
fact no rainbows were caught.
Derby organizer Joe Brannon of Rainbow Valley
Camp said dirty water and an
the
of Chinook
salmon were responsible for the scarcity of trout.
Despite the absence of trout, there were a number
of good sized salmon caught.
Varna area bean farmer Gordon Hill won first
prize for Chinook with a 22 pounder. Forther Exeter
resident Jim Parsons who now resides in Woodstock
landed a 14 pounder.
At the presentation of prizes Sunday or the non-
presentation Joe Brannon said all prize monies for
rainbow trout would be frozen until next year.
This will make the top prize for the biggest rain-
bow trout caught in Bayfield for the 1980 derby, $400.
,Second prize will be $200 and $100 will go for the third
bigges trout landed
Fishermen are always dreaming of catching a big
ohe. Here is your chance to dream all winter of the big
one waiting for you next October in Bayfield and the
large sized cheque that will go with it.

1970 with the exception of Moose hunting licences, The
new fees for resident huntersare: moose $20; deer $15;

dog $5; raccoon night $5.

Penalties hurt
In the early part of the
junior game, South Huron
continued to get penalties
resulting in poor field
position. Their only point in
the first quarter came on a
single point punt by Dave
Shaw.
Early in the second period
Doug Fischer scored a South
Huron touchdown on a seven
yard sweep and also kicked
the convert to go ahead 8-0.
Shortly after Dale Ker-
slake intercepted a Norwell
pass to set up the next South
Huron score. A Dave Shaw to
