Times-Advocate, 1988-06-29, Page 13Hawks fail to form executive
EXETER - Just one top execu-
tive position was filled Wednesday
night when the governing body of
the Exeter Hawks Junior D club
met to elect a new executive for
the 1988-89 season,
No nominations were made and
no one present stepped forward and
offered to stand for a position with
the exception of John McNeilly
who volunteered to act as Treasur-
er.
Tom Dalrymple, George Pratt,
Dave Urlin, Nancy Quinn, Sue
Wilson, John Neighbours, John
Campbell and Dave Reid were
named as directors. Those posi-
tions do not carry with them indi-
vidual votes, howwever.
Unable to continue the meeting,
acting chairman Randy' Evans
called for an adjournment until
support could be rallied in the
community for the hockey club. It
was decided that another meeting
will be held July 6 at 8 p.m. at the
South Huron Rec Centre. Mem-
bers present hope experienced can-
didates will be found by that time.
Only eleven members of this
year's governing body were
present.
Net loss
A year end financial statement
for the Junior D club revealed
that Hawk s suffered a net loss of
S5,897 thi" year -- a loss deemed
unacceptable considering the fact
that the team advanced to the
OFIA final in April,
McNeilly noted that, if the team
is to continue, it must take steps
to either cut costs or raise more
money.
The loss was later attributed to a
lack of fund raising as it was not-
ed by George Pratt that funds ac-
cumulated this season were
57,000 less than last season's
sum. Pratt pointed out that ex-
penses for the team were $1,000
lower this year.
Ice rental costs were also singled
out as a prime reason for the net
loss. The rental cost $10,973 this
season, an increase of almost
S3,000 over last year's ice.
In 1984, ice rental cost just
$4,400.
Amendment defeated
An amendment, put forward by
Al Quinn, regarding the purchase
of equipment and accountability
for such purchases, was defeated
when the change narrowly failed
to get the support of 66 percent of
the members in attendance.
Quinn proposed that the execu-
tive appoint an equipment manag-
er who would be responsible for
the purchase of all equipment.
Quinn suggested the manager
should strive to obtain the best
possible price within the town,
and that he should be made to ac-
count for his purchases at regular
executive meetings. By spreading
their business throughout the
community, more financial sup-
port may be directed to the Junior
,D club, Quinn maintained.
Quinn also expressed the hone
that the equipment manager would
act as a liaison between the coach-
ing staff and the executive body.
Opponents to the amendment
argued that the best possible price
can be attained by sticking with
one supplier, explaining that, as
in the business world, better deals
could be worked out when pur-
chasing items in bulk.
It was also noted that some
businesses require cash on deliv-
ery -- something that the organi-
zation is not always capable of
supplying.
• Inconvenience was also cited as
a factor weighing against the
amendment.

Bileski teeing -off
HEADING SOUTH -- F.<eter athlete Rob Bileski has been accepted by
New Mexico State University golf team and is eligible for a golf scholar-
ship. The berth on the team comes as a result of years of practice out on
the course.
in New Mexico
By Mark Bisset
EXETER - It's been a slice here
in Exeter for Rob Bileski (no pun
intended), but as of the second
week in August, it will be time
to move on. In the year since his
family moved to town and took
over the Exctcr Golf Course, Bi-
leski has, established himself as
one of the premier athletes at -
South Huron High School, and
now he's going to take on New
Mexico.
Bilcski has been accepted at
New Mexico State University in
Las Crucs and will be playing on
the varsity golf team. He will be
eligible for one of five golf schol-
arship -- worth as much Ris
S40,000, depending on the recipi-
ent's ability -- during his second
semester.
Though Bilcski was offered golf
scholarships in Miami, he chose
to attend the,New Mexico univer-
sity because it has a better aca- '
dcmic reputation and a better golf
program. Studying mathematics,
the Exeter athlete .is gambling
that he can make the grade in Las
Crucs.
"This is the best scholastic
school so I'm taking a chance,"
Bilcski explains, adding: "The
golf tram they've got is a little
more renown -- they're winning."
One of 11 to 13 players on the
team, Bileski will play in a qualif-
yi„g tournament during his first
semester. Only five golfers from
. each college are allowed to play in
NCAA tournaments, so the quaitf-
ying round determines the top five
players on the squad at the begin-
ning of each semester. His chanc-
es for the scholarship will largely
depend on his performance in the
qualifying tourney.
"Right now I'm just looking at
getting through the first semester.
After that I should be alright," Bi-
leski says. "You have to take a
chance at the better school. if you
can't cut it at the better school,
why go?"
Hard work
Being chosen for a spot on the
New Mexico golf team is the cul-
mination of years of hard work
and hours spent out on the golf
i
course.
"It's made all that hard work for
the last five years pay off -- not
only my work, but his," Bileski
says, pointing a finger at his fa-
ther, Ron.
The senior Bileski sent numer-
ous letters out to universities in
the southern United States two
years ago, in hopes of attracting
attention to his son. Those letters
drew several replies and after tour-
nament play closed down last fall,
Rob followed the leads up with a
resume, detailing his golfing suc-
cesses and his academic standing.
Ron Bilcski, a CPGA golf pro-
fessional himself, has helped his
son out on the course as well.
"I used to hate the game," says
the younger Bilcski. "I did -- with
a passion. Then I slowly started
picking it up. Dad started'hclping
me work on my swing. I'd just
pound balls steadily and just play
and play and pound balls."
Their's may soon become a clas-
sic case of the student bettering the
tutor. Rob Bileski maintained an
average of 75 in more than 25
tournaments last season, and just
this week broke the Exeter Golf
Club record by shooting a seven
under par 65.
The previous record was held by
his father.
Learn to win
"I think the hardest thing I had
to learn was how to win," says Bi-
leski, explaining that he usually
found himself up against 50 guys
who could easily win a tourna-
ment. "You have to learn to deal
with pressure."
The young golfer puts emphasis
on attitude, noting that there arc
always days when nothing goes
right. The nick, he maintains, is
not to get frustrated.
Asked if he has hopes of playing
on the professional circuits, Bile -
ski puts his education first. But
smiling, he admits to the occa-
sional dream.
"Down deep, you're looking --
everybody's got the stars in their
eyes."

THE PITCH -- Kevin Ross lets fly with a pitch during a game between
Exeter Peewees and Fullerton Peewees. Exeter ran into trouble late in the
game and recorded a loss.
Royals blow 5-0 lead
The Exeter Rdyals suffered their
most frustrating loss of the season
last Thursday night in St. Pauls as
they dropped a 6-5 decision to the
defending league champion Gener-
als.
The defeat, which ran -their season
record to four wins and five losses,
saw the Royals lose a 5-0 seventh
inning lead.
Starting pitcher Dan lleywood en-
tered the seventh inning having giv-
en up only two hits while striking
out eight and weilking only one. A
lead off double, followed later by a
two out single, accounted for the
first General run before Heywood
escaped without further damage.
ilowevcr, the first four hitters in
the bottom of tlic eighth inning
reached base safely as St. Pauls
scored four runs on five hits off
llcywood and relief pitcher Doug
Todd.
Royals also contributed to thcir
own demise with a pair of errors.

'' Tasty Nu white or 60% whole
After Exctcr failed to scorc in the
top of the ninth, St. Pauls complet-
ed their come back. A pair of sin-
gles and a one out ground rule dou-
ble plated the winning run off

in the early going as they scored
three times in the second inning and
added single runs in the third and
fourth innings for the 5-0 Icad.

Doug Todd with a deublc and two
