The Irish widened the margin 2-0 at the 15.08 mark of the second, with Smith getting his second of the night, assisted by Revington again and Ted Elders. Junior Barash opened up with a two-goal barrage before the end of the period to tie the game up. Don O’Brien and Pete Cundy earned assists on the first and Baird helped with the sec­ ond. The Flyers went one up in the third when Benny Gignac fired a marker with help from Barash. Five minutes later Elders scored, unassisted, for Lucan to knot the score at 3-3. In the overtime session, Glen Revington scored for Lucan in the second minute, but Hesse notched the equalizer at the 5.23 mark finishing off a play by Gignac. competi- Irish and matched, schedule, win over DAVE’S COMMENTS a* con- low­ near with Mil- Battle To Tie of the second organized its their first with Per­ th at and lead 3-3 be- ef- Liniment.

The two teams continued deadlock play from the game of the series through two periods of Tuesday night's tilt. They were frustrated with a tie at the end fore Centralia fective attack. The Flyers the opening goal in the first half­ minute as the play began in high gear. Gaul slapped home the second rebound off Freebairn, Flyers’ netminder, after Gibson and Flood both had tries. Cen­ tralia was disorganized in the sudden attack. The quick goal sent both sides into fast and furious action. Flyers’ pressed for the equalizer ■but Milverton was skating hard both ways. Beatty missed a gol­ den chance when Vezina sent him in alone on Schmidt but the small netminder outguessed him. Royals’ wrong seconds attempt of position. A minute and a half before the bell, Beatty evened the count by finishing a play by Wilberforce. ■Wilberforce put Flyers ahead in the second after swooping in from centre over to right wing and flipping a backhander in the high corner. With Ray Embury off for elbowing, C. Westman broke into the open on a pass from R. Kipfer to knot the score. Royals scored again with a pen­ alty advantage at the 10-minute mark when Gibson bounced a behind-the-net pass from Flood into the twine. With 40 seconds to go in the stanza, Ellis pulled a trick from his bagful to tie it up again. The flashy centre swept in from the red line, drew a defenceman in front of him to block the goal­ tender’s view and fired one home. Both Freebairn and Schmidt made brilliant breakaways in minutes of the third. Johnnie Johnson missed on a clean solo effort but compensated the fluff on the next play by picking a lonely corner. The blonde right­ winger put the Flyers' two up with a labelled slap shot two minutes later. Doug Beatty fired his second goal after Vezina put him in the clear. Milverton couldn’t stand the pace as the Flyers worked hard. Embury sunk a pass from Ellis after Randy pulled the defence off to the corner. Vezina scored the final marker on a three-way combination including Beatty and Wilberforce at the 18-minute mark. The Flyers played the last 40 seconds with two in the sin bin but the Royals were flat. The teams meet again on local ice this Thursday- night. In First Game Milverton Royals and Centralia Flyers proved their tie for league leadership during the regular season wasn’t any quirk. The teams battled to a 6-6 dead­ lock in overtime Saturday night in the first game of the best-of- seven Intermediate “B” OHA group finals round. The Royals managed to gain a 4-2 lead before the Flyers opened fire in the third to tie the game. The rivals went scoreless in the overtime session. Randy Ellis and Ray Embury shared the Flyers’ honors with three goals each. J. Westman and R. Kipfer netted two each for the Royals and C. Westman and Gibson counted singles. In the first period, Schmidt, Milverton netminder, needed stitches to close a gash on jaw. He played the rest of game, however, and was the stumbling block that thwart- the Flyers’ attack. A-Hootin’ And A-Hollerin' For the information of people living in the proximity of Exeter Bowling Lanes, the blood-curling cries they probably heard on Monday night were not Indians on the warpath. It was only an­ other blood-and-thunder match between the Butchers and the Tradesmen. This hooting and hollering has become a trademark with these bowlers. It is an example of the good-natured rivalry that existB between some of the older teams in the league. The Tradesmen, who were short-handed, never gave up and finally took the last game. But we believe either team would have enjoyed the competition— Win or lose. A-Moanin’ And A-Groanin’ At the same time, another sort of match was being played be­ tween the Panthers and the Rur­ al Rollers. The latter were hav­ ing rough luck—and we mean ROUGH!The Panthers breaks, while cunibed to every of misfortune, games were won without handicap, we might add, before the Rollers pulled the last one out of the fire. Most of the Rollers took the loss and the tough breaks with good grace, but there were some long faces too, It seems we all remember the bad nights and forget the nights when we had the breaks. Human nature, we suppose. A Wrong Impression? Two teams failed to bowl with their opposition Monday n’ght. The Big Six and the Spare Parts bowled alone as neither Windmills nor the Short were present. We are not members league executive but we der the impression that teams are supposed to bowl their post­ poned games the same night. Ac­ cording to the ruling printed on the back of the first round sched­ ule, “Any team unable to comply with the schedule at any time must bowl on a night mutually agreeable to both teams. These arrangements can be made by captains.” Perhaps more bowlers should give a hoot . . . like the Butch­ ers and the Tradesmen. spotted Milverton Jim Westman struck the side later and WE WANT YOUR j saves on two the first two tn tn c tn E Q o Q. — y 3 to a—E U TOP PRICES £ o LI- WEIGHED AT YOUR DOOR Howard Ferguson, District Representative Riverside Poultry Co. 1236 TRAFALGAR ST., LONDON London 7-1230 Phone Collect 680-r-2 Hensall of Zurich Eliminates week on n Cambridge Patterns Used * Cars the WIDE SELECTION And Exeter Minor Trucks tre- this -Please turn to Page Priced at $2.00, $2.95, $3.95 theI 46 Chev.

The game marked the end of the hockey season for the Tigers. Although they finished in last position, tied with Hensall, the Dashwood crew battled all the way. They whipped Hensall, Exe­ ter and St. Marys during the regular season and pulled one of the big upsets of the season by overthrowing Zurich 10-8 in the play-offs.

The Irish outclassed Zurich to the tune of 5-1 in the first per­ iod, but in the second, the play was almost completely reversed as the Flyers rebounded with a 4-1 edge. Play was evener in the third, however, but Lucan gained a 3-1 margin to take the night’s honors. Bob McKinley centered the Flyers’ second line, substituting for flashy Joe Maisonville, who was sidelined with a hip injury. Herb Stretton led the green­ shirts with three goals. Glen Revington scored two while Hod­ gins, Stevenson, Fred Revington and Leroy Revington added singles. Benny Gignac, Junior Barash and Bob McKinley fired two counters each for the Flyers’ cause. The value of Canada's produc­ tion of ski poles and fittings in 1950 amounted to $287,142 and should be even greater during the 1952-53 season since the sport is becoming ever more popular. Pin Chatter With The Ladies* League In spite of a seven-point upset at the hands of the Hot Dogs, Happy Gals retained enough mar­ gin to remain in top position in the ladies’ league last week. Bowling high for the Hot Dogs in the match was G. Chambers with a 579 triple and 221 in one game. For the losing Gals, Westlake’s 537 and 216 best. It was all seven for the Bees and nothing for the Hopes when they met last week. V.

Their opponents haven’t been named With some of the “A” Group teams idle till Wednesday night, attention centered this the “B” Group bowlers. Group leaders, the Rural Rollers, bowed in the Panthers in a surprise victory for the latter. The Pinpoppers and the Apple­ jacks leaped up the standing­ ladder by taking seven points each from the Huskers and the Maroons. The Maroons were on the top side of a 7-0 score when they met the Panthers last week. The Short Circuits and Wind­ mills postponed their games against the Big Six and the Spare Parts. The Windmills played on Tuesday night, the first game with the Big Six ending in a tie. “A” GROUP Keglers 5, Tradesmen 2 Last Wednesday night, Keglers clipped the Tradesmen for a 5-2 victory—1,182-994, 1,- 121 - 1,066 and 995 - 1,111 — but neither team was up to par.
