To start ball hockey
For anyone wishing to get some extra exercise in
the next couple of months, a men's ball hockey league
is in the offing.
New rec administrator. Boom Gravett called last
week to say he was trying to organize at least a four
team league to play this non -body contact sport.
To register singly or as a team simply call the rec
office at 235-2833 and give the necessary details. The
,deadline for signing up is .April, 30.
Local hockelY ends
The 1980-81 hockey season in the immediate
Exeter area has been completed. The last to finish
were the South Huron intermediate hockey league and
the Exeter rec loop.
The Zurich Buckeyes captured the South Huron ti-
tle for the third straight year with four straight final
series victories over the Hensall Sherwoods.
In the local rec league, the Dashwood Tigers came
roaring down the stretch to win their second straight
championship. The Tigers did it the hard way. After
losing the first two games of best -of -five series to
Pfaff Electric. the Dashwood boys won three in a row
to emerge as repeat champions.
Locals still going
While local teams have ended their season, three
graduates of the Exeter minor hockey system are still
in the running for provincial championships.
Dave Shaw and Tom Coates, members of last
year's Ontario midget champs from town are valuable
members of the Stratford Cullitons who are in the On-
tario Junior "B" final against Burlington.
At the time of writing, Burlington leads the best -
of -seven series two games to one with the fourth game
last night, Tuesday in Stratford.
The fifth game is set for Burlington Friday and
the sixth. if necessary in Stratford, Sunday. According
to a staunch Culliton supporter there will be a sixth
game and probably a seventh.
The Cullitons despite losing the first two games
had an edge in territorial play, but, couldn't get the
puck to bounce the right way into the opposition net.
Dave Shaw has been playing exceptionally well of
late and is expected to be picked fairly high when the
OHA Junior draft is held on May 30.

The South Huron Badmin-

Off and running
The Detroit Tigers who were our pride and joy
before the Blue Jays came along to grab a small por-
tion of loyalty are off to a fast start.
The Tigers lead the American eastern division by
a full two games over the second place Boston Red
Sox. The Detroit club sports a record of seven wins and
only two defeats and both losses came at the hands of
the Blue Jays.
The Tigers are strong at the plate with lots of
power. but. appear to be a little suspect on the pitching
mound. Jack Morris, Dave Rozema and Dave Bailey
head the hurlers. Dan Petry who is also being counted
on by manager Sparky Anderson couldn't find the plate
against Toronto Saturday and was lifted before getting
anybody out.
Bill Martin. the most controversial manager in the
majors has his Oakland Athletics off and flying. They
won 11 games in a row before losing the second game
of a Sunday doubleheader to Seattle.
In Toronto, the biggest problem seems to be hit-
ting. Dave Stieb who is the Blue Jayone-tWopunch with
Jim Clancy has been beaten in two starts mainly
because his team-mates have not been able to get hime
any runs at all.
Only rookie Lloyd Moseby and veterans Otto
Velez and John Mayberry have shown any consistency
or power at the plate.
1981 Canada Games in Ontario
Canada's great national sporting competition, the
Jeux Canada Games, comes to Ontario for the first
time this August 9 to 22, in Thunder Bay.
The 17 -sport Games will involve more than 3,200
athletes from every province and territory in Canada.
With 5.000 volunteers, 1.000 coaches and officials
in addition to the 3,200 athletes, the Jeux Canada
Games will' be one of the largest amateur athletic
competitions in the world, second in size only to the
Olympics.
Thunder Bay will realize the legacy of the games
in very concrete ways: a new all-weather 400 meter
track. nine tennis courts, upgraded soccer, rugby and
field hockey fields, bicycle courses and fitness trails, a
ball diamond and improved stadium and arena
facilities.
The major expenditure of the games will be the
new Canada Games complex. This athletic cen-
trepiece will include a 77 meter Olympic pool, a warm-
up pool suitable for children once the games are over,
racquet ball courts. fitness facilities and a weight
training room.
The volunteers who are helping to stage the
games will gain.valuable experience in organizing
such a massive project, and their expertise should
carry over to other community projects once the
games are finished.
The games are funded jointly by the federal,
provincial and municipal governments and the Friends
of the Games, an 85 member fund-raising committee
in Thunder Bay. The total expenditure for the event
will be $10.5 million.
The Friends of the Games, which involves local
service clubs and volunteers, is expected to raise 13.0
million which will be matched by grants funded by
Wintario. Ontario, as host province, will also be direct-
ly contributing a major share of the funds, 11.5 million.

raising committee chairman
Pete McFalls and his group
for their efforts. "They did a
heck of a job," he said.
"Without them we
wouldn't make it for the
year," added vice-president
Bob Whiteford.
Members of the com-
mittee last year were Fred
Mommersteeg, Bob and
Eleanor Clark, Gerald and
Shirley Brintnell, Jerry and
Alice MacLean, Jim and Pat
Scott, Brian and Janet
Wedlake and Pete and
Gloria McFalls.
Several volunteers were
received for the three
couples to be replaced this
year on the committee. The
appointment of the members
to all committees was left to
the executive.
It was indicated that the
committee will be as busy
again next year as increased
ice rental rates and OMHA
registration fees were an-
nounced at the annual
meeting. .
Discussion at the meeting
centred around formation of
a juvenile team for next
season, better control of
equipment and sweaters and
moving to a single fee
schedule for minor players
next season.
The financial statement
showed the Hawks with a
loss of $2,504 this year, com-
pared to a loss of $3,686 the
previous season. Gate ad-
missions declined by $800,
while ice rental and
transportation costs in-
creased.
Minor Hockey paid just
over $13,000 in ice rentals
during the year.

A trip to Tennessee proved
to be very exciting and
rewarding for a young Ex-
eter golfer.
Paul Van Gerwen fired the
dream of most golfers, a
hole -in -one from the 17th tee
at the Cobbley Nob Resort
course in Gatlenburg, Ten-
nessee onFriday, April 10.
Using a pitching wedge,
Van Gerwen's tee shot
bounced once and hit the cup
140 yards away. The ball ac-
tually stuck between the
stick and the side of the hole.
Van Gerwen was playing
in a foursome with Bill
McLean. Bob Fletcher and
Don Cowan, all of Exeter.
Also on the same trip were
