Hall of Fane again Would like to pass on information that the completely • renovated Canada Sports Hall of Fame is now open at the Cana- dian National Exhibition grounds in Toronto. A -visit would be ideal for anyone getting to a Blue Jays game an hour or two early. Admission is free. The Hall is home to more than 3000 items ranging from -Olym- pic and world championship medals to racing sculls and racing bikes. There are eight theme areas. They are team sports, winter sports, acquatics, all-rounders, equestrian sports, strength and science sports, track and field and lifestyle sports. • Sports Spotlight n. by Ross Haugh Minister tries to help The National Hockey league is being urged to reduce violence and improve safety conditions in its games by Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation John Eakins. In a letter this week to NHL president John Ziegler, Eakins said, "I am sure thousands of viewers continue to be amazed and frustrated by the repeated examples of violence and intimidation being brought to the television screen and the leniency with which they seem to be dealt with by your league and officials." The Minister noted the most recently publicized incidents dur- ing this year's playoffs indicate something must be done to reduce the level of violence in hockey. Eakins is concerned about the number of fights and aggressive stickwork during NHL games and what effect that will have on thousands of minor and junior hockey players in Ontario who watch NHL hockey on television. While the minister has no jurisdiction over the NHL, he is urg- ing Ziegler to support the Sports Safety Intatives being undertaken by his Ministry to reduce violence and improve safety conditions in all amateur sports. Lots of hot air One of the newest sports books on the market was written and produced in London, Ontario and contains more than 2,000 quips and quotes from the world of sports. It's called, "Hot Air" and was compiled by Gary Alan Price who was sports director of CFLP radio for almost 10 Years. The book is being sold by all of the Optimist clubs in the city of London and proceeds are being used for youth work. The cost is $10. We have had the book for a couple of weeks now and read a few goodies every day and they are very interesting. Here We go with a few examples. Bobby Orr about his bad knees: "If I were a horse they'd pro- bably shoot .me". Don Maloney of the Rangers: "I promised myself I'd get as may goals this year as Wayne Gretszky got last week". Toby Harrah of the Cleveland Indians: "It took me 12 years to become an overnight sensation." Yogi Berra: "I 'think Little League baseball is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house". Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes: "Don't print anything nice about me. I might have to live up to it." Sports journalist Larry King: "Why does the guy who gives tips at the race track often need a ride home." An even dozen softer teams in Exeter minor group It is time once again to start repor- ting results of the teams of the Exeter soccer club. Soccer in this area just keeps on growing. The Exeter soccer club besides fielding a senior team in the London second division will field 10 teams in the Lucan and District soccer league in four age groups and two teams in the West Middlesex youth soccer league, an under 17 team and an under 11 girls team. The girls team is a very exciting happening for the soccer club as it marks the first time that we have been able to field a complete girls team. During the next 14 weeks we will keep you up-to-date on the scores and standings of each team and its program during the course of the season. Two weeks ago was the first week of the season with only four Exeter teams seeing action. In the squirt division, Exeter iII and Exeter IV met each other at th.i high school. For so early in the season and considering that for some players this was their first ever soccer game, it was an excellent game, most of the play was in midfield. In the end it was Exeter III that came out the winner capitalising on some fast breaks and scoring three times. Scoring for Exeter III were Lucan. Forrest with two and newcomer Jeff Campbell. Jeff McLean and Ben Glavin played an excellent game for Exeter IV as did Sean Guenther for Exeter III. In the pee wee divisioh Exeter I and Exeter II squared off for their first game of the season. Both teams played well trading goals back and • -TIGERS ARE BEST iN 'B' — The Crediton Tigers captured the weekend Exeter Inn-dions sto-pitch 'B' championship.

This past week and the second week of the season now all Exeter teams in action except the girls team. Their season starts next week. In squirt action this week, Exeter I travelled to St. Columban and met the new entry in the league. Despite excellent play by Steven Horn and Michael Ford, Exeter came away the loser by a 3-0 score. Exeter 11 travelled to Grand Bend and in a closely played game Scott Gilfillan scored the winning goal for Exeter II in a 3-2 win over the Grand Bend rivals also scoring for Exeter II were Geof Mayer and Scott Rasenberg. Exeter III travelled to Nairn for a game against Nairn II. In a fairly rough game, Luke Sims played a star- ring role as he scored on a penalty shot and set up the other Exeter goal by Jonathon Groot. Ryan Rutledge also was excellent. Exeter iV played at home against Nairn I and evened their record at one win and one loss as they defeated Nairn I on two goals by Jeff McLean. Exeter IV had a big territorial advan- tage but managed to score only twice because of the congestion in front of the Nairn goal. In a makeup game Exeter I and Ex- eter II played to a 1-1. draw. David, Tragiiair scored -for Exeter I and Trevor Boersma for Exeter II. In atom division play, Exeter I and Exeter II played a hard fought battle with Exeter I coming out on top with a 3-1 score. Scoring for Exeter I were Marty DeBruyn, Chris McDonald and Matt Glavin. Replying for Exeter II was Brent Gibson. In mosquito action Eugene Boersma scored the only goal of the game on a shot from close range for Exeter I and then the Exeter I team had to fight off a determined Exeter II team to preserve their 1-0 win. In pee wee play, Exeter I travelled to St. Columban and were on the short end of a 3-1 score. No particulars were available on the game at press time. Exeter II had an easier time of it as it got goals from six different players in a 10-1 win over Bryanston. Dean Pfaff, three, Sisivay Sengkhounmany, two, Mark D'Anna, two, Amanda Houston, Shane Pfaff and Scott Bierl- ing scored for Exeter II. Their next game will be more of a test as they meet Grand Bend. The Exeter under 17 team playing in the West Middlesex youth soccer league saw action for the first time this week in a game against Lambeth in Exeter. • The Exeter team led by a four goal performance of midfielder Henri DeBruyn took the play to the Lambeth team from the outset and with an excellent team performance never gave Lambeth a chance to get in the game. Jason McFalls and Tim McAllister also scored tor Exeter. Another group in our soccer club, which will not be mentioned on a weekly basis is a group of tykes com- prised of 25 boys and girls four and five years old under the care of coach Henrt DeBruyn and parent volunteers. The future of our club is at work every Tuesday night at 6 p.m. at the highschool. Good luck to Ilenri and his crew. Good luck also at the beginning of this season to all the young referees in our system. Without you we could not run as extensive a program as we now do. To all parents, coaches and fans, please be supportive of these young boys' and girls as they are learning.
