On Friday night in Exeter, the Mustangs lost a heart- breaker to the Hawks by a score of 4.3, The winning goal came off the stick of Jim Guen- ther at 7:45 of a 10 minute overtime period. Both teams came out and played the excellent brand of hockey predicted last week. It was a very exciting game for both teams' fans. Exeter got the first tally of the game from John Mommer- steeg and Ron Graham replied for Clinton on a nice goal, and was followed 23 seconds later by Paul Johnson, who put the Mustangs out ahead, Both of the goals were on a powerplay as Brian Bestard of the Hawks was serving a double minor penalty. 4 The Mustangs kept the Hawks completely bottled up the second period and had many good chances to score but a combination of John Hayter in goal for Exeter, and poor shooting by the Mustangs, kept them off the scoresheet. At the 19 second mark of the third period, Brian Kennedy steered home a shot by Jim Cameron to put the `Stangs out front 3-1 on another powerplay goal The Hawks then seemed to have the breaks go their way, as they bounced back to score two power play goals, and then scored the winner in overtime. A total of 17 penalties were called, with Exeter taking 10 of them. SCORING FIRST PERIOD 1 Exeter. Mommersteeg (Stover, Smits) 8:49; 1 Clinton- Graham (Cameron, W.

This game seemed to be a continuation of Friday' nights game. Both games were filled with action, and also had close checking, good bodychecking, good passing, and lots of fast, hard skating. The Mustangs again had trouble putting the puck home, as they missed several good opportunities to score. The first period was scoreless, being a goaltenders dual. Both goalies, John Hayter and Gary Yeoman, have played outstanding so far in the series, Exeter was first to get on the scoreboard at 9:15 of the second period. The second period ended 1-0. Clinton came out knowing they'd haye to win this game to even the series, and tried valiantly to score. Finally Dan Colquhoun scored a beautiful goal to tie the game. The Mustangs then bounced back for another tally with Colquhoun getting his second of the night. Clinton held off the Exeter marksmen, until 15;57 when a long shot by a Hawk, caught a defect in the ice, and skipped over Gary Yeoman's pad, tying the game 2-2, The last tour minutes of the game got more exciting as both teams came close to scoring. The overtime period was played wide-open, with rushes going back and forth. Each team again missed several good opportunities to score, and the game ended a tie. Gary Yeoman has played outstanding in the series so far, allowing only six goals in two games. Yeoman got a lot of help from his teammates for a change and it has helped him greatly. Exeter got seven of the 13 penalties. The third game of the series is this Friday night in Exeter at 8:30. The series resumes Sun- day at 8:30 in Clinton, and again Tues. in Exeter.

OVERTIME None, Midgets end regular play . Clinton Lions Midgets finished of their regular season with a nine win and nine loss record after dropping their last two games to Seaforth and Goderich by 3-2 and 5-3 scores respectively. The Seaforth game was the best Clinton played all season but Clinton penalties led to their downfall, with the tying and winning goals for Seaforth coming when Clinton were men short. Clinton opened the scoring with Greg Butler tipping in a hard drive from John Graham at the point. Butch Heipel scored Clinton's second goal from Jamie Thompson. Clinton out-hustled and out-played the Seaforth team most of the game but lost because of penalties. Gerald Cantelon played a stan- dout game on defense and Seaforth won the game with only 30 seconds left to play. Last Sunday, Clinton jour- neyed to Goderich, but were suffering from the effects of the hard-hitting game with Seaforth and dropped a 5-3 decision to Goderich. The Clin- ton team were also short of the services of Randy Millar and John Graham who had received game misconducts at Seaforth. Clinton marksmen were Thompson from West, Butler from MacDonald and Thomp- son, and Steve Cook on a beautiful solo effort. Goderich scorers were Ar- bour, Palmer, Merriam, Mar- shall and Worgan. The Midgets would like to thank their kind supporters and are eagerly waiting for the play-offs to begin. Dates have not been announced.

Beginning again next week we will continue on a regular Tuesday schedule. The only part of the Winter Carnival I would like to men- tion in my column this week is the family skate night. It was by far the greatest turn out for public skating in a long time. For those of you who were here we will be carrying it on, on some type of regular basis, the rest of this season, Watch for announcements. Beginning next week in the paper there will be another section on recreation. It will be in the form of a schedule and will tell of all recreational activities going on in the up- coming week. Watch for it. Just a reminder that men's fitness begins week two next Monday night at the high school, (haven't had too many calls from men over 40, where are you hiding), and ladies crafts will be on Wednesday from 7-8:30. Very shortly we will be beginning a number of programs for adults 60 years of age and over. Keep your eye to this column for more details. This past week Pacific Enterprises Inc. presented the film "Vanishing Wilderness" at the auditorium of our arena. It was a fairly good turnout considering the lack of advertising they put out. I guess I couldn't end the column without at least men- tioning the fact that this weekend begins the "Bantam Tour- nament". This is our Fifth Annual Tournament and it looks to be as good if not better than any previous tournament in those five years. It's good entertainment for one and all. The schedule and costs are included in the paper, please consult it for more details. Well, I guess if I don't see you this week I'll talk to you again next week in the paper. Bluebirds gain WOB margin. On Wednesday night Feb 14, many took advantage of the free admission to attend the Family Skate from 6-7:30. A crowd of well over 150, many. not familiar faces around the arena this season, donned skates to struggle, or otherwise, around the rink. It would be great to see that kind of a crowd at regular public skating. At 8 the Clinton Bluebirds faced off against a determined broomball club from Blyth, The result was a 2-2 deadlock which provided some exciting action. A half-time special event was a flaming baton act by Miss Lori Biggin who received a fine round of applause for her per- formance. The highlight on Wednesday was undoubtedly-' Hospitgity— Night, sponsored by the Clinton Recreation Committee. A jovial crowd that kept tables full on a continual basis was on hand for good food, good enter- tainment and some great ad lib acts. A lot of credit goes to the organizers for lining up some great fun. A new facet of the Winter Carnival program this year was the increased usage of ice time during the week by local schools. Crowds of enthusiastic children kept the arena hop- ping and provided some busy moments for the arena staff.
