Sr
Lions signal caller to headline speakers at Lions Sportsmen's dinner
As this is the second last issue before the 1985 Exeter Lions
Club Sportsmen's Dinner will be upon us we would like to bring
our readers up to date with the good array of athletes who will be
in attendance.
Jirn Barnetson and his dinner committee have been working
relentessly to match the calibre of speakers for the first 11 din-
ners gone by.
The headline speaker will be Detroit Lions quarterback Gary
Danielson. In addition to being an excellent speaker, Danielson is
very involved in the cause of helping crippled children. He is the
Michigan state chairman of the Easter Seals campaign.
Baseball fans in the area are excited about the appearance
of Detroit Tigers ace pitcher Jack Morris. He was one of the big
reasons the Tigers were able to have an almost'unbelievable season
capped by the World Series victory.
The Toronto Blue Jays will he represented by vice-president
and director of player personnel Pat Gillick and possibly one
player. In addition to Danielson, pro football will have another
representative. He is the new commissioner of the Canadian Foot-
ball League Doug Mitchell and will likely be questioned about the
possibility of dropping the single point which sometimes goes with
missed field goal chances.
Outdoors type athletes will be prominent with the appearance
of channel swimmer Cindy Nicholas, female golfer Sandra Post
and outdoors television commentator and writer Bob Izumi.
Jerry Walker, our local Canadian Tire Corporation dealer is
responsible for bringing race car deiver Jaques Villeneuve to
Exeter.
Barnetson told us Friday morning that attempts are still be-
ing made to get retired hockey announcer Danny Gallivan and
skier /teve Podborski to attend. He is fairly confident both will
make it.
WIN FAIR PLAY PLAQUE — The Exeter Molting Hawks won the Play
Fair trophy in a weekend Oldtimers hockey tournament in Niagara
Falls. Shown with the trophy are Jim Russell and Keith Ahrens.
MOLTING HAWKS
WIN IN NIAGARA
The Exeter Molting Hawks enjoyed
a successful and extended visit to
Niagara Falls on the weekend.
The local oldtimers hockey team
reached the semi-finals in the "E"
division and won the Fair Play plaque
as the least penalized team in the firs(
three round robin games.
The extended stay in the honey-
moon capital was caused by the same
snowstorm which hit this area. The
Hawks and (heir wives had intended
to leave Niagara Falls Sunday, but,
couldn't gel away until early Tuesday
morning. They hit Exeter at about 11
a.m.
On the ice, the Dlolting Hawks
defeated Brampton 6-1 and Toronto
Island 21 before losing 4-3 to Kit-
chener and 5-2 to Richmond Hill.
In the opening game win over
Brampton, the Molting Hawks scored
the first Iwo goals of the game in the
last 5-1 seconds of the first period.
Bill Chipchase started the Exeter
scoring on a three•way combination
with Keith Ahrens and Peter McFalls
and teamed with Frank Boyle to set
up the second goal registered by Scott
Burton.
The only goal of the middle frame
carne from the stick of Eric Fink -
twiner on passes from Jim Mac-
Donald and Bob ;McDonald.
The third period was all Scott Bur-
ton as far as scoring for the Molting
Hawks was concerned. Ile scored
three limes to clinch the victory
Hill Chipchase picked up assists on
all three goals while Keith Ahrens,
Pete McFalls and Jack Chipchase
gained single assists.
Scoring in the second game 2-0 win
over Toronto Island was confined to
the last half of the contest.
Bob McDonald counted with less
than four minutes left in the middle -
frame on passes from Jim Russell
and Jim Pfaff to put the Molting
Ilawks on the scoreboard for the first
time.
With only six seconds left in the
game. Bill Chipchase ensured the Ex-
eter win as he finished off passes from
Scott Burton and Keith Ahrens.
In the third game of the tourna-
ment, the Molting Hawks were unable
to hold on to a 3-2 end of second period
lead as the Kitchener Rustys came
roaring back to win 4-3.
Bill Chipchase scored (woof the Ex-
eter goals on identical plays with
Keith Ahrens and Frank Boyle pro-
viding the assists.
The other goal was notchekd by Bob
McDonald on a three-way effort with
Jim MacDonald and Jim Pfaff.
The final game of the tourney of the
local club was similar to the previous
one as they were unable to hang onto
a 2-01ead and were on the short end
of a 5-2 score to Richmond Hill.
The Exeter goal getters were Scott
Burton and Bob Jones with Bill Chip -
chase and Mike Cushman getting the
assists.
The Molting Hawks won the Fair
Play trophy as the result of being
assessed only four minutes of
penalties in three outings

The amateur sports s ene will be -highlighted with the ap-
pearance of two of the stars of the Canadian junior hockey team
which won the world championship in Finland on New Year's
morning.
That's right. Sitting at the head table will be Brian Bradley
and Jim Sandilac of the London Knights. They should prove to be
very popular guests.
A number of other athletes are expected to be added, so all
in all it looks like an interesting lineup of guests.
One important guest not to be forgotten is Allan Bullock who
Sports Spotlight
by Ross Haugh
will be Timmy, representing all of the crippled children in Western
Ontario.
After all, that's the main objective of the popular annual din-
ner, to support and encourage crippled children to be a.more viable
part of our communities.
Tickets for the dinner are $35 for adults and $20 for students
and remember a goodly portion of the admission is income tax
deductible.
Thrills relived
Exhibition sports events are usually not too enticing to the
customer, but, it will be different at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto
Friday night.
The Gardens are expected to be filled to capacity when
members of the 1972 Team Canada team are reunited to play a
team of former NHL stars.
Paul Henderson who will be remembered forever for scoring
the winning goal in the final game in Moscow will be back.
Joining Henderson will be Phil and Tony Esposito, Bobby
Clarke, Ron Ellis, Frank Mahovlich, Vic Hadfield and Stan Mikita.
Among the all stars will be Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe, Bobby
Hull, Dick Duff, Eddie Shack, Jean Potvin, Henri Richard, Ed
Giacomin, Norm Ullman, Jim McKenny and Andy Bathgate.
Harold Ballard has donated the Gardens facilities so all pro-
ceeds may go directly to the Phil Esposito foundation. This foun-
dation was formed to work with and help former pro athletes who
need assistance.
More than 15,000 tickets had been sold by the weekend and the
scalpers should be out in full force come Friday night.
A horrible example
National Hockey League officials have been trying hard in re-
cent years to diminish the image of violence and fighting.
A lot of those efforts went down the drain Saturday night by
the inexcusable performance of the Toronto Maple Leafs on na-
tional television.
Following a lengthy brawl with the St. Louis Flyers, the Leafs
to a man congratulated the combatants in the fight. One would
think they had won the Stanley Cup.
Maybe the Leafs needed an unusual situation to shock
themselves out of a losing attitude, but, to actually cheer for
fighting tactics was almost unbelievable.
Thousands of impressionable young hockey players were pro-
bably watching and it's quite'fikely to see similar shows in minor
hockey in the near future.
