GEORGE CHIN TOP
TOURNAMENT SCORER
The Ann, Arbor, Mich., College
hockey team has . won the Nat-
ional-Go,Uege^itleLJojL_the^hird
year in; a rdw. Top scorer in the
finals tournament was George
Chin of the Ann Arbor team who
scored two goals and four assists
to tie a former record;, "George;
was also top scorer in last year’s
finals,
A switch made a month ago
that put George Chin, Pat Coon
ey and Doug Mullen on Ann
Arbor’s first line gave them the
scoring punch thqt sparked a
slumping team into the playoffs
and from there to the National
title.
A commentary; on the series
from a Michigan paper had this-
■to say:" 0
“Chin especially deserves
praise. Thg chubby right winger
from Lucknow, Ontario, scored
four goals against Michigan State.
He tied a tournament record with
two goals and four assists for the
most points in a tourney contest
against Boston University.
“Just the week before the
playoffs the affable lad, who has
ten brothers and three sisters,
had-been knocked colder than a
monkey ,in an ice house by an
illegal Check from a Michigan
Tech player. When he left for
Colorado Springs, Chin» could
hardly see. from one eye. That
didn’t stop him from being J the
tournament’s leading scorer for
the second straight year”.
Sparrow Applies For Port Job
Guy Sparrow,, fastball hurler
for Wingham Mercurys for the
past two seasons, has applied for
a.. position as‘ lifeguard... at. Port

MIDGETS COP
ONTARIO TITLE
Lucknow Midgets are Ontario
“P’? hockey champions and
worthy .of it. They coasted thru
to the W^0,A.A. championship
scoring 156 . goals in 8. playoff
games, with but17 scored against
them, and then stepped into ■ the
O.M.H.A. semirfinalS to wiri three
of four games with an imposing
goal scoring performance of 45
to io, .
They ,• took St, George" 15 to .1 1
here arid 'then dropped a 7-6 ver
dict in Paris, .Against Nobleton
they swamped 'them‘11-0 in the ’
opener and edged them 3-2 on
their home fee on Saturday; And
it was just that close.
The Lucknow kids staved Off
a desperate final drive by the
Nobleton boys, and the final sec
ond ticked off with -most every
man on the ice piled up at the
Lucknow net ^nd. the Nobleton
players claiming the puck was in. .
On Saturday night the Noble
ton boys played the kind of hoc
key it "was apparent they could
•play, but didn’t in Wingham —
dean and fast. , _
, The Lucknow squad Weren’t as !
sharp as in the first game, but
had the edge during the first two
periods and more scoring chances -
but a stout Nobleton defence kept •
the attackers from getting close;
in on most of their- thrusts™-
The first period Was scoreless
with Jack Chin, Emmeptori ’and
Charlie Chin drawing penalties.
Charlie’s came with ten seconds
left in the period.
It was 7.05 in the 2nd frame
When Kent Hedley’ batted in Bob
Mowbray’s rebound for the first <
goal. Spurred by this goose-egg
buster, Lucknow added another
in less than a minute and a half,
when Jack Chin broke away^ (but
Wa$ blocked at the net by the
Nobleton goalie. Brothjer Charlie
“swooped in to pot the loose puck;— -
Emmerton, the “ibad man” in /
Wingham, drew his second pen
alty at 10.11 /■ but Lucknow
couldn’t make anything of the ad
vantage, nor could Nobleton when
Mowbray was <penalized at <4.31
in the third frame..
With the minutes ticking off
that two-goal edge was looming
larger until 10.18 when Howman,
who had ibeen dangerous all night
slapped home Nobleton’s
goal. That fired them to
life but the Lucknow lads
equally determined and at
got the clincher. Charlie
carried into the comer, slipped
the disc back to Jack who slid
off the comer of the net and who
made no mistake. .
That, looked like it? but the /
strong - skating •/ Nobleton boys
weren’t licked yet. They poured
into the Lucknow end and gave
Richards a busy time^locking
rubber. With about tWo minutes
to go Hill succeeded in punching
one; past him, land the next two
minutes wete hair-raising. Luck<
now was rapidly tiring and lack
ed the oomph to grit it out over
/the blue line,.but hung on des-
parately, checking frantically for
the last two minutes, until that
spine-tingling, last second riile-up,
