Saturday afternoon on home ice, Exeter scored an impressive 5-0 victory and continued the same type of play Sunday and recorded an 8-2 win. The Exeter youngsters hold two wins with one game tied in the best -of -five series. The fourth game will be played in Amher- stburg, Saturday night at 8.15 p.m. with a fifth if necessary back in Exeter, Sunday afternoon at 4.30 p.m. In chalking up the.8-2 victory Sunday, the Exeter club carried a good majority of the 'territorial play and outshot the visitors 47- 17. The game was eight minutese old when Dave Atthill put Exeter on the scoreboard on a pass from Randy Parsons. Near the end of the the first period, the locals hit with two more goals and they were on their way to victory. At 13.31 Dave Bogart was in the right spot in front of the Amherstburg net to deflect a shot from Perry _Pooley. _Only 21 seconds 'later Perry Pooley converted a pass from Brian Mercer. At 8.36 of the middle frame with each team playing five aside, Perry Pooley fired his second goal on a three-way effort with Paul Pooley and Randy Fisher. Less than two minutes later, Randy Fisher.hit the visitors net with a blast from the blueline after Paul Pooley dug the puck. out of the corner. With only 54 seconds gone in the final stanza, the score went to 6-0 for Exeter as Dennis Preszcator hit the mark with a hard blueline shot on a play started by Paul Pooley. The Pooley brothers were responsible for the last two Exeter markers. Paul scored on a slap shot from the right circle on an unassisted effort at 6.27 and at 8.17 Perry blinked the red light with the assist going to Darrell Preszcator. In the last four minutes of the game the Exeter club let up a little and Paul Robinson was able to score twice for Amherstburg and avert the shutout attempt by Ted Triebner and Paul Gaiser. Triebner was in goal for the first and third periods. The pattern of Saturday's contest was similar with the Exeter boys coming ont flying and scoring three goals in the first eight minutes of play. The game was only a minute and- 12 seconds old when Perry Pooley converted a pass from Brian Mercer into the Amher- stburg net. At 7.29 Paul Pooley fired a successful shot with passing help coming from Brad Taylor and Perry Pooley. Only 34 seconds later the score was 3-0 on Dave Bogart's goal on a play originated by Perry Pooley and Brian Mercer. With a little more than a minute left in the first period Exeter goalie Ted Triebner was struck on the side of the neck by a deflected shot and was replaced by Paul Gaiser who played the balance of the game and held the opposition off the scoreboard. The second period was scoreless and Exeter scored the only two goals of the closing session. Brian Mercer registered at 7.41 This . weekend was probably one of the busiest this winter in Exeter as far as sporting activities were concern- ed and we are talking about quality as well as quantity. The Exeter arena was the scene of two- Ontario Minor Hockey Association playoff games andthree minor teams from Trenton, Michigan were in town. The Exeter bantams turned in two excellent perfor- mances against Amherstburg in OMHA bantam quarter- final play and appear to be heading for the second round. The bantam club headed by coach Ron Bogart and manager Bob Pooley now lead their Essex County opposi- tion two games to none with one game tied and can wrap up the series in Amherstburg Saturday night. If a fifth game is necessary it will be back in Exeter. Sunday. The six games between Trenton and Exeter minor club provided a lot of exciting hockey action. The home teams won four of the six contests as the local juveniles swept both games and the pee wee and atom teams broke even with their Michigan opposition. Saturday at the Exeter curling club topnotch curlers were in action in the annual Dashwood Industries cash bonspiel. This is one of the few cash spiels remaining in the province and continues to draw very high calibre com- petitiors. - The excellent brand of curling turned in -by local sweepers was reflected in Saturday's final results as Ex- eter rinks finished one-two. Southpaw King McDonald and his foursome won the first draw and the overall championship. Placing second was the Jim Finnen skipped rink. Falling to the Exeter rinks were such well known rinks as Ken Buchan, Gary Weisz and Dr. John Reddon of Lon- don, Ray Tamoski. Kitchener and Bill Lousin, Sarnia. This coming weekend. an invitational mixed curling bonspeil will be held at the Exeter club with action starting Saturday morning at 9 a.m. While hockey and curling was high on the sports agen- da, many outdoor enthusiasts took advantage of ideal winter weather Sunday to participate in toboganning, skiing and snowmobiling. --TheAusable-Bayfield Conservation Authority spon- sored a Fun Day at the Parkhill conservation area Sunday afternoon and a good number were in attendance. The toboggan hills at Parkhill are excellent as well as the many trails very suitable for skiing. A goal a game Bobby Hull of the Winnipeg Jets has become the first player in the World Hockey Association to score 50 goals in 50 games and only the second man in professional hockey to do so. Not since Maurice. "The Rocket "Richard hit the goal a game for 50 games mark in the 1944-45 season has this been accomplished. Hull started his 50th game this year needing three goals and scored a hat trick in a Winnipeg 5-3 win over Houston. His 50th goal came with only a minute left in the third period. Phil Esposito of the Boston Bruins has been close to the 50-50 mark several times. This year Espo fired 46 successful shots in the first 50 contests. Horrible weekend for goalies The weekend of February 22-23 will be one the goal tenders in the National Hockey league should remember or have nightmares about for quite some time. In 15 games played on the weekend, eight on Saturday and seven on Sunday. a total of 120 goals were scored. This was the highest total ever recorded in the NHL. The Montreal Canadiens were responsible for a lot of the scoring. The Habs walloped the Chicago Black Hawks 12-3 and Ivan Cournoyer scored five times. Greg Polis of the Rangers scored four times against Minnesota and former Leaf Rick Kehoe scored a hat trick against his old mates during a 8-3 Pittsburg win over Toron- to. Despite the high scoring in most of the games on this particular weekend. two goalies came up with shutouts. Gary Simmons of California and Ron Low of Washington were able to keep their goals clear. While talking about goal tenders it's interesting to note that Gary Smith of the Vancouver Canucks has six shutouts to date this year. This is the same number Vancouver goalies have been able to record in their first four full seasons in the NHL. Who is the Sabres leader? The February 28 issue of Hockey News has a very interesting story on the Buffalo Sabres and Don Luce in par- ticular. - We met Luce at a wedding in the area a few years ago when he was just starting his now four-year stay with the Buffalo club. Maybe fellows like Gil Perreault, Rick Martin . and Rene Robert get a lot of the cheers in Buffalo, but who • logs the most ice time. That's right, Don Luce. He sees a lot of NHL action when his Buffalo club is playing short handed. Recently he scored his seventh shorthanded goal of the season.onlyone short of the record held by Dave Keon of the Leafs. Since joining the Sabres,_Luce has been named the most improved player, the most inspirational and the most valuable for Punch Imlach's team in the past three seasons. Don Luce and Craig Ramsey of the Sabres are probably the best penalty killers in the NHL today and they get plen- ty of opportunity to display their skills as their big team- mates throw their weight around. Buffalo coach Floyd Smith who was around the NHL for about 10 years emphasizes a checking game for his team. Smith survived in pro ranks as long as he did mainly because of persistent checking. Don't be surprised to see the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup final and probably winning all the marbles. Off to Russia In this column a week ago we talked about two teachers from the Huron County Board of Education travelling to Russia to take part in an in-depth study on the Soviet system of physical education. The appointments have now been made. Ron McKay, principal of Hensall public school will represent the elementary schools and Bill Weber of Central Huron in Clin- ton is the appointee from the secondary school level. 111111 Ns.- A CLOWNING BRONCOS — Before Sunday's exhibition game between atom' teams, two players from each club got together for o friendly chat.
