SH wrestlers win invitational Sports Spottight By ROSS HAUGH It's all over and we can use a number of superlatives to describe the 1980 Exeter Lions club Sportsmen's dinner. Each year we say the dinner was bigger and better than the year before and how can the Lions better this- achievement the next time. But, that is the truth. Tuesday's dinner was great as it combined all of the ingredients necessary to satisfy the sporting and moral requirements of persons of all ages. The speakers put together just Ate right combina- tion of humour and practical and religious philosophy to satisfy everyone. The Lions and dinner chairman George Godbolt in particular are to be commended for an outstanding ef- fort. After a few problems with the PA system Godbolt did an excellent job of moving the program along at a good pace and introducing guests until master of ceremonies Craig Baynham took over, To this writer one of the big highlights was the appearance of Christine Easterbook* as, Tammy and the representative of all crippled children. Christine who is 11 years old and a grade five stu- dent at Hensall Public School was the star of the show and the cool and friendly manner in which she took care of her speaking duties, endeared her to all of the more than 500 in attendance. Christine and the other crippled kids is ',what the dinner is all about. All proceeds from the dinner and the figure is expected to be well in excess of $5,000 go to the 'London Crippled Children's Treatment Centre. Sonia Jackson who is the district nurse for the Crippled Children's Treatment Centre in London told us there are eight children in the immediate Exeter area presently receiving help from the Centre. To see one of the handicapped youngsters from our own area who is benefitting from events like the Sportsmen's dinner is a real joy and Christine was great in filling her role. It would be safe to say that everyone at the dinner felt like doing what George God- bolt did immediately after her speech and that was giving her a big hug. Firstly we will tell a few things about Red Storey. He is best known for his antics on the ice as a referee for many years in the National Hockey League until he ran into a few problems with the then president Clarence Campbell. Storey's hockey activities continue as he does the colour commentary on most of the Maple Leaf games on CKO radio and is well known as Santa Claus on the Hockey Night in Canada telecasts each Christmas. The younger generation will not know that Storey was one of the stars of Canadian senior football back in the days of the Toronto Argos and Balmy Beach. We learned from Red Tuesday night that he and his son Bob are the only father and son to ever play on Grey Cup championship teams. Red was on the Argos when they won the Canadian championships on two occasions in the late 30's and early 40's. Son Bob was with the Hamilton Tiger cats in 1967 and the Montreal Alouettes in 1970 when those two clubs won the Grey Cup. One fellow who knows personally of Red Storey's prowess on the football field was also at the Sportsmen's dinner. He is Ron Mock of Hensall who played for an Owen Sound high school team against Barrie in a playoff game in 1935. Red Storey played for Barrie at that time and Mock said there was no way you could stop him when he got the ball. During the evening Storey had lots of good things to say about Rocky Saganiuk of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was a last minute addition to the list of sportsmen and women in attendance. Storey called Saganiuka human buzz-saw. He add- ed, "No one works harder in the corners than Rock." Saganiuk had little to say about the trade situation in Toronto. His only comment was "If there is going to be a trade it will have to come quick to help us. We only have 30 games left in the schedule." Gary Carter, a very dedicated and sincere member of the Montreal Expos said his club would be right back in the National league pennant race and with any luck would come out a winner this time. Carter felt the recent trade with the Detroit Tigers to obtain fleet centre fielder Ron LeFlore would be very beneficial to the Toronto club. He continued, "LeFlore's speed will certainly come in handy on the bases and his near .300 batting average will help." Carter said the trade of pitcher Bill Atkinson to the Chicago White Sox would be good for Atkinson say- ing, "This should give Atky a chance to pitch regular- ly. In Montreal we have about 10 pitchers rating ahead of him." Atkinson is a native of Chatham, Ontario. A change in managers for the Toronto Blue Jays appears to be good news for one of the Toronto players, Rick Bosetti told us he would have a lot more freedom from manager Bobby Mattick to try and steal bases. The Blue Jays will try more steals this year under Mattick. Bosetti along with Danny Ainge and Elfredo Griffin can match speed with most in the American league. David Honderich of the Blue Jays publicity depart- ment said Danny Ainge would Miss spring training and a few games of the schedule because of his university basketball commitments, Ainge is rated as one of the top 10 in US college ranks. He plays with Brigham Young University and will have to decide between baseball and basketball as a professional career at the end of the 1981 season. The Blue Jays have come up with some insurance in case Ainge stays on the basketball court. They have obtained another second baseman in Dave Garcia and it was suggested by one of the Blue Jays reps that even this year Ainge may be moved around to find another position for him. Getting back to the Sportsmen's dinner, Reggie Rucker of the Cleveland Browns did not appear. He became ill after the London dinner the night before and was forced to cancel out in Exeter. Junior playoffs start with battle of Hawks One of the most exciting hockey rivalries will be renewed early in the nor- thern Junior "D" grouping when the Exeter and Mit- chell Hawks meet in the semi-finals. Exeter has won that battle for four straight years, but they'll be decided underdogs when the teams open the best-of-seven series. However, that may not mean as much as some would think. Last year, the Exeter version of the Hawks were also the underdogs and they came up with a stunning triumph to go on to the Ontario semi-finals. The series opened last night in Mitchell and the second game will be at the South Huron rec centre, Friday. The teams go. back to Mitchell next Tuesday and the fourth game is slated for Exeter the following night. Coach Ron Bogart only has six members of last year's squad back to attempt another upset over Mitchell, in this, a rebuilding year for Exeter. The locals have taken only one point from their namesakes this season, but as Mitchell coach Bob Zimmer knows, anything can happen in the playoffs. His team lost only six times this season, while Exeter dropped 19 games in their third place finished. The other semi-final set pits the second place Lucan Irish against the Seaforth Centenaires, who nipped Thamesford 7-5 Sunday A YANKEE SIGNATURE — Former New York Yankee star Bobby Richardson autographs a baseball for Frank and John Giffin at the 1980 Exeter Lions Sportsmen's dinner.

The third game will be Sunday evening at Lucan. Do it themselves The Exeter Hawks didn't wait for one of the other league teams to give them some help to make a playoff spot. They managed the feat themselves when they clipped Thamesford 6-4 at the rec centre, Friday. They almost made it Wednesday night, but a final period rally fell short as they dropped a 6-5 loss to the Irish in Lucan. Dan Bell paced the Hawks to their final victory of the regular season against Thamesford as he managed a hat-trick performance. His two goals gave Exeter a 2-1 lead at the end of the first and his third goal late in the third was the clincher. Dave Kinsman, Kerry Bedard and Terry Caldwell fired the other markers. Caldwell's power play goal early in the third was the winner, while Bedard scored his while the Hawks were playing short-handed late in the second. Kinsman's goal was also a solo effort. Doug Fletcher and Dave Atthill drew assists on Bell's first two goals, while helping out on other tallies were Dennis Preszcator, Dwight Consitt and Preston Dearing. Steve Wells turned aside 26 shots tb record the win, while Thamesford's Dan Nairn stopped 28 shots. The Hawks picked up eight The Sassenachs have opened up a four point lead at the top of the standings in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league. The leaders have 72 points to their credit, the Evil Eyes arc next with 68, the Dow .% rs are third with 67 points and the Winkers fourth with 63.

All even at 54 are the Itchy Niters and DR's, the Scotties have 53, Nicky Tams and Outlaws 52, Shiphunters 44, CB'ers 43 and Canscotts 33. This week's scores were: Doublers 4-CB'ers 1 Itchy Niters 3-Evil Eyes 2 Nicky Tams 3-Outlaws 2 DR's 3-The Chances 2 Scotties 3-Out of Space 2 Sassenachs open up dart loop lead of the 18 penalties called in the game in which they were never headed. Nipped by Irish Wednesday night, the Hawks were trailing 6-3 midway through the third period against the Irish and they then potted a pair in less than two minutes to come close to upsetting the Lucan crew. Once' again, Paul Medd proved to be a thorn in the side of the Hawks as he potted a pair of goals to help pace the attack. Medd has had several big games against the Hawks throughout the season. Jeff Marshall also added a pair for the Irish, while singles were fired by Rick Freeman and Tom McGorman. Cam Haist was a two-goal man for the Hawks and firing singles were Ken Varley, Preston Dearing and Kerry Bedard. The teams were even at one goal each at the end of the first and the Irish moved ahead 4-3 after two stanzas. They popped two goals in just over a minute before the midway mark of the third and the Hawks got two in less than two minutes just after the midway mark. Steve Sararas stopped 38 shots for Exeter, while Murray Jamieson and Dan Sceli turned aside 31 for the Irish. Exeter took six of the 13 penalties .called and they scored on two power play attempts while the Irish were successful on one. The penalties included fighting majors to Larry Dawson and Ron Bilcke of the Hawks and- Paul Medd and Rick Freeman of the Irish.
