Clinton Celts after one of the
most disastrous records in their
hockey schedule have hit their
stride in playoff competition. Last
Thursday night they spotted Zur-
ich Flyers, a one goal lead and
came back to defeat the Flyers,
on their home ice, and take
the group championship three
games. to one.
The third win was made much
more valatable for the Colts as
they turned the.,triek when force,d
•' to play with only nine men for
most of the gAme. Ray Bieman
suffered a severe shoulder injury
in the first period and was unable
to return to the ice. Mait Edgar
and Doug Bartliff were unable to.
Make the trip, '
Bill Hanly provided the great'
est spark for the Colts with a
three goal effort, Ron Hugill and
Bob Garen each counted twice.s.
Zurich started the scoring early
in the first period when. Don
Hesse banged a 'loose suck past
Denornme when he was left WI!.
guarded, • Plairly evened the score
five minutes later. After taking
Hartley's pass, Bill swept around
McKinley and fired a 15-foot shot
into the bottom left hand corner
-of the net. Hugill gave the Colts
'the lead a few minutes later and
the "blue and white". were!. never
headed again,
The The Colts led 3-2 at the end of
the first period, 5-4 at the start of
the third.
Most of the drama of the game
was packed into the final minutes,
when Clinton led 7-5 when the
Flyers . pulled their goaltender,
11/Walls, in favour 'of the extra
forward. The home club stormed
the Colts' citadel for the last- two
'minutes and with 30 seconds re-
maining Hesse scored to pull the
Flyers into a spOt where they.
Might tie the game. ,They forced
the Colts to ice the puck with
just 13 seconds left, ,but McEwan
won the draw from the fade-off
and time ran out on the Flyers
before they could regain control,
of. the. puck„'

In the council in action report
last week, concerning the by-law
appointing firemen, two errors
were made. Fire Cgrief Grant•Rath
