FEB. 25, 101 SPORTS SCENE Wall another week has come and gone with more and more interest being shown in the National Hockey League. To go into detail about all the records that have been broken or that are about to be broken would fill a page so I'll leave the records until the end of the season. The biggest interest is shown in the Eastern Division mainly because of the presence of ,the three Canadian teams. 01 the three the Toronto Maple Leafs are the hottest team in the NHL at present and continued their torri d pace over the week end with two victories.. Although the Leafs are still in fourth place they are, In no danger from the fifth place team and if they continue their present pace for the remainder of the season they could quite easily move into third place and quite possibly second. The Montreal Canadien s are just managing to stay ahead of the high 'flying Leafs while the New York Rangers are now apparently struggling to put several victories together and are now losing ground to the two Canadian .clubs. Locally in bockey the Seaforth entry in the OHA's Intermediate "C" league has definitely reached the playoffs. and with victories in their final few games will end up In a cold place 'finish. The regular season schedul 4111 end this ec week with the playoff opponents not yet decided. Special "tlingratulatiOns are extended to the Saturday morning Novice Hockey team as they emerged champions in a recent tournament held at the Air Base in Clinton. They completed the tourney undefeated to capture'top honors. At the local bowling lanes a noticeable number of exceptional games have been, recorded in recent weeks as the bowlers near their playoffs, they all seem to. be trying just a wee bit harder. As the leagues near the end of the regular schedtiles changes in high singles and, triples are becoming a common event. The action at the local curling rink has also •increased as area. curlers continue to improve and the competition seems to improve also as the 'teams prepare to complete another successful season. Outdoor sports in the area continue to be 'a growing favourite of local fans as was• evident by the attendance at the recent Stratford Winter Carnival and the great increase in the number of area residents that now own .snowmobilk and have taken 'a great interest in the local snowmobile club. The. Seaforth Club has not only proved to area residents their capabilities by their action's in the recent storms but have also' proven to minx residents that snqwmobiling can be a family sport and can be enjoyed safely by everyone if handled properly. • ' Industrial League Finishes Schedule Viif) rr OUR irtalS 11- S VOLLEY BALL 1 704 1 IIMPIPSO S.D.H.S.

The game, played in Seaforth, pro- vided the Beavers with little more than a practise as they completely' outclassed the vis- itors. The first period saw the local squad take a quick lead and run up a 5-0 score before the period ended. Bob Beutenmiller, Terry Craig, Jack Mc/lwain, Ed Doi- mage and Bill Weber were the local marksmen.

MEAFORD 5 - SEAFORTH 4 Seaforth Beavers dropped a real cliff-hanger Thursday night to the Meaford Golden Jets by a 5 - 4 'count. In a rough penalty filled game before a small crowd the Golden• Jets outlasted the Beavers for the victory. The home squad opened the scoring at 10:01 of the first period on a goal by Bob Beutten- miller with assists going to Jack Mcblwain and Jim Dick. Meaford evened the count at one apiece only a minute and 20 seconds later when Hutchinson beat.. Carter. Jim Dick again gave the Beavers a one goal edge at 14:09 on passes from McLlwaln and Rau only to have the Golden Jets again .even the count at two apiece just 39 'Seconds later on • a marker by Leautaud. Just before the period ended Jim Dubie capitalized on a Beaver defensive error and gave , tlie visitors a 3 - '2 lead after one period. -In the second stanza Beekton scored after 54 seconds togive the visitors a two goal ed.ge., Bob Beuttenmiller moved the Beavers to within one goal when he converted a pass from Sills and Morton. The second period provided some real opportunities for each team as they settled down teaplay hockey after the pena* filled first period. r The third stanza again saw both teams, travel up and down the ice to provide real exciting hoc-key. At 8:13 Bill Weber pulled the Beavers to even terms with the visitors only to have Ted House score the winning marker three minutes later for the visitors. Seaforth had several good opportunities to even the count but the outstanding play of Charlie Schultz in the Meaford nets provided the visitors with the win. The men began their playoffs for the second draw on Tuesday night which -saw Beecher Menzies coming up against Art Wright. Now Art is layed up with a crushed thumb and, of course, it is on his curling hand. Dave Cornish took over his rink and yes, you guessed it, Dave came through with a win, bringing Art's. Rink up against Dr. Brady for the final in this draw. It was a' good game with Beecher going along with his team composed of Fred Elliott, Vice Jack Peck and Ross Lovett. So, we avialtahe final in this draw whiCh should be as Art Johnston says, very interesting. On Wednesday the girls had an open Spiel in the Club Rink. There were entries from Goder- ich, Wingham, ListoweLIVIonk- ton; Thedford, Mitchell, Brussels, Clinton and Staforth. On the 9 a,m. draw the win- ners were: Glenna Moore of Ltstowel, first prite, second went to Flo Smith of Seaforth with Mary BQX, Vice, -Norma Riley, sec. and Ann Laverty, lead. Con- solation was won by Bertha Magee of Goderich. On the 11 a.m. draw the win- ner was Leone Rowatt of town With Marg. Wright, Vice, Grace Camabela 2nd and Leah Kuehl, lead. Second prize went to Mar- lene Roberton's -rink with Vi Peterson, Vice, Meta McLaugh- lin, second and Audrey Beuer- man, lead. Consolation going to Brussels rink which was skipped by Barb Dunbar. Lets say the curling wasn't out of this world but the socia- bility most certainly was. Thursday and Friday was the beginning of the Charlie Barber trophy.event which is a couples draw in which everything hap- pens except divorce between the Married couples. So it must be quite entertaining to 'those other unattached players. Watt:1'10o, Walton, Brussels, Seaforth and Milverton. Saturday was the annual Top- notch Spiel which saw entries from Goderich, Exeter, Clinton, A total of 18 penalties were called with 10 of these occurring in the first period. Seaforth was on the receiving end of. 8 of the 18 leaving 10 misfractions called against the visitors. The a HMV',.wasta' thV turrgniettbiam crowd was -disappointing for the game provided all the excitement and thrills that could be expected in a good hockey contest. The biggest disappointment was that dot only was the crowd small, but more fans were present fro Meaford than from Seaforth and the Visiting fans also proved to be more vocal. This gave the visitors a- lift and could quite easily; explain the- determination and desire shown by the visitors to provide them with 'the viptory. The winner of the first. draw was the Harold Payee rink skipped by Don McKercher with Harold Pryce vice, John Patter- son Jr. second and Oliver Pryce lead. Second prize went to Bob Fotheringham's rink skipped by Wm, Campbell Jr., with Gerald Smith vice, Murray Hoover second and Bob Fotheringham lead. The consolation went to Brussels rink of 'Hemingway arid company. Second draw winners were Bob Ste Marie's rink, Doug Riley, vice, Graham Shouldice, second, lead by John Underwood. Second prize went to Jim Skeoch's rink from Goderich, Frank Young vlcing with Ralph Kingswell, second and Doug. Rowcliffe,lead. Consolation went to Max Brooks of Dorchester, his players being Moose Schwab, Mac McPherson and S. Wallace. It's always interesting to see a family rink at play and we were not •disappointed in this Spiel when a rink akIPPed by Paul Brady had his three sons playing with him, Rob, Dave and Steve. The lucky prize winner ,on a draw for a bale of wire was Harold Keys of Brussels. A 'Cheesy time was had by all as assortments of cheeses' were awarded as prizes. Sunday was the day the Inter- mediates travelled to Cheiley to play off against Owen Sound for Dist. 13. They lost their first game and tied their second but won on the extra end, corn- ing' through with the third game as well, giving them the win of Dist. 13. , J. Patterson Sr. skipped, Lloyd Rov:fatt; vice, Frank Case, 2nd, Bill Lobli, le'ad. Next game will be in Clinton Base. I will keep you posted when it is played. Good curling boys.
