However, ,thp Ma roons Staged a comeback and late in the game May sunk the tying basket. Then just, before the final whistle Kettle tossed tlm winning shot from the right side of the court. Minus their high-scoring cen ter, Bill O’Brien, who was out with rib injuries, the Maroons set ,a fast pace in the first quar ter and Mby found the basket with three shots to lead the locals to a 12-7 edge. In. the second quarter the locals missed shot after shot on close-in -plays and failed to get a point while Amherstburg hooped five to tie the score. „ In the third quarter Exeter went into the lead only to have Amherstburg tie the count again. However, the locals , broke out once more and with Capt. Kether and Cann pacing the way with; two baskets apiece they finished the quarter in the lead 22-17, All season the .Maroons have featured a last-quarter drive but so did the. opposition Saturday night. The visitors piled up a fair lead as they hooped several* baskets in quick succession early in the quarter, However, Exeter gained possession of the attack and squared the score. Near the end of. the game Kettle dropped in the winning basket to send Amherstburg’ home with the two- point margin. EXETER — Kether, 12; Cann, 4; May, 10; F. Dobbs, 2; - U. Schroeder; G.

The game was played in Am herstburg Saturday night. The Flyers won the series, 130—108. Amherstburg opened the scor ing with Matthews’ shot in the first minute and were never headed from that point, Am herstburg took a 51-41 lead in the third quarter, but it was as close as they came to overcom ing the 26-point disadvantage in the first encounter. Langs, Cal lan and .Matthews turned in ex cellent games for Amherstburg with Langs bagging 21 points to emerge top scorer. The game developed into a nip-and-tuck affair f r o m the qpening whistle.

It was one of their few losses of the. season but we have a feeling that the juniors can overcome their play off jinx and come out on top. Two points of course is neither here nor there. Amherstburg will have the advantage of tlieir home floor but, however, it isn’t a Strange one to the locals and if they can get back into their regular season form they should knock off their rivals next Sat urday. The Maroons also hope ,to have Bill O’Brien back for the game if his rib injuries are bet ter. Let’s shake the jinx, Here’s luck to you! “C” , Entry Dumps Exeter The Exeter Monarchs missed the W.O.A.A. playdowns l’or ,tlw first year since they have joined lads. FOR POL /On behalf of THE CANADIAN FOUNDATION Keglers ..... Repair Men Snipers Rural Rollers , Grand 'Bend .. Seedsmen ....... Wed,, March and Seedsmen finished their bowling for the season, The legion lads took four points ,1’rom their rivals, but to no avail, Reg. Tayloi* tossed 575 (227) to pace •the Snipers, while Howard Holtz man rolled 60 2 (222) for the Seedsmen. Grand Bend -blanked the Rural Rollers 4-0 on alleys 3 and 4. Elmer Webb ended the season with a good triple of 693 (301) for the Bend, while the .best the Rollers could do was 591 (253) by Harold Penhale. The most exciting games oc curred on alleys 5 and 6 when the Repair Men laced the Keg lers 3-1. However, they needed all 4 points in order to tie the Keglers for first place and force a playoff. They Jost the last game by 14 pins. Very close! Alf. Maskell turned a good triple of 672 (246) to head the Repair Men, while for the Keglers, Ray Boudreau proved to be the hero, tossing 6 67 (i2|90). That 290 game was the one that broke the -Repair Men’s backs. The Keglers now advance into the semi-finals against the “C” group winners, the Mighty Mice. * St St » TburscUjy Night In the “C” group Friday night, the Tanks laced the Not Quites 3-1. Harold Bush was big gun for the Tanks, rolling 700 (252), while foi* the Not Quites, Keith Alexander tossed 587 (24.0). , In another match Friday night the Mighty Mice blanked the Dukes 4-0. Jack Cutting tossed 616 (219) -to pace the Mice to their win, followed by Alf An drus with 587 (228). Jack Mc- Knight was best of the Dukes With 5.3 2 (228). Quite a rhubarb resulted When the Canners and Tigers met in the last game of the evening. It ended up with the Tigers taking three of the four points from the Canners, but in order to tie the Mighty Mice for first place the Tigers had to take all four points. The argument came in the third game which the Can ners won, so the Tigers protest ed that game. On Monday night, the Canners and Tigers couldn’t come to any agreement about replaying the games, so the Tigers and Mighty Mice were then ordered to play three games to decide the group winner. In these games Monday night, the Mighty Mice proved to be too much for the Tigers and took three of the four points from their Grand Bend rivals. John 'Christie rolled 627 (260) to pace the rodents to their win, while for the Tigers Dick Hamil ton was tops with 579 (288). The Mighty Mice and Keglers now meet in the semi-finals, be ginning Wednesday of this week. # >S sjt Please Note. . <’ Our banquet is to be held at Club Monetta on Friday, March 31. are planning to i phone Art Trites by March 25. . * ■# To All Bowlers! This Friday higlit, there will he a genet in the Legion Rooms All members interested that league. They were put ’’out in the group finals by ,tlie “C” entry from 'Dublin. The series went right to the finish, being- decided in the last six .seconds of the fifth game. Perhaps it is just as well. The Monarchs have not had the strength of previous seasons and their successors were thumbed by an 8-2 score in Thedford in the first game of the series last week. Leave It To The Irish Leave it to those Irishmen in Lucan. We went down with the locals last Friday night and take it from us that town’s g’Ot a community centre of .which they may be rightly proud. Built mostly by volunteer labour the Lucan folk have left nothing Undone to make it the finest they can. A large part of the building is of cement and combines a smartly designed arena with a cocmmunity hall including a kitchen and stage. Features 'that struck us were the well-lighted ice surface from forty eight lamps, the oil heat ing, the seating facilities and the spacious booth and alley between the ice surface and the booth. This alley, by the way, will be shielded by glass from the ice and will be .heated. Even the Art Ross style goal nets were made by a local ’machinist. We were told that Erwin Scott who has been supervising the building has (practically given up Ills own business to devote a........ great deal of time in promoting quested" to attend. the Snipers Top trundler for the .Sorority was Lucille Dubois (160). On alleys 3 and 4, turned ,on the heat the Housewives 3-1, These games were all fairly close, with the ■Skunks having a little edge, Ber nice Christie again topped , the Skunks with 552 (214), while for the Housewives, Gladys Bier- ling led with 5413 (199). A saw-off occurred when the Yarn Spinners and Happy Gals met on alleys 5 and 6. Lois Brintnell paced the Spinners with 575 (2-2’4), while .for the .Gals, Betty Shaw was best with 597 (232). “C” Group Playoffs Thursday night on.< .alleys 1 and 2, the .Lucky Strikes had a good night as they laced the Jolly Eight 3-1, Agnes Cutting turned in another good perform ance with 602 ,(2i31), while for the Eight, Mary Hockey also had a good triple of >597 (257). The Frisky Sisters proved to be too much for the Musketeers and blanked them 4-0. Phil Ha worth came through with a ter rific triple of 72,2 (29i0) to easily pace .her team, while the best the Musketeers .could do was The Hot Dogs turned on the 512 (192) by Hap Cutting. Whizzers and blanked the latter 4-0. Dot Brady .paced the canines with 548 (2.2'0), while for the Whizzers, Capt. Lorraine Brock with 4 44 the Skunks and laced was best with .504 (226).

It was he who took us through the as yet un completed community hall, while Harvey L a n g f o r o, who talks about nothing else when we run into him in Exeter, extolled the fine points of the arena. We were also informed that the com mittee is planning on artificial tee in the immediate future. A Poor Show We have it from good author ity that the chap who scored the winning marker against Exe ter as well as one of the other Dublin goals was playing under an assumed name. This isn’t ah alibi for the locals’ defeat. They weren’t strong enough to go oh any way. But the fact remains tliat Exeter let Dublin jump Into the “A” group and then this is the sporting gesture with which they retaliate. Injuries Ami More Injuries They say trouble comes large doses and we’ll bet Zurich Hockey Club will swear by that statement. AU told now the team has seven injuries four of which we believe are cast jobs. Doug O’Brien was the lat est victim in 'the final game with Gorrie. We understand the youth ful puckchaser has smashed his knee cap and torn the ligaments •on each side. It’s a. tough break for a team that showed every sign a few weeks ago of making fast pro gress in the “C” group semi finals of the W.O.A.A. However, With such a weakened lineup Ladies* League Wednesday night, another blue night rority lassies, as they absorbed a 4-0 trimming from the Rook ies of Mae Trites. The Rookies •were really on the beam if their scores indicate anything. Mae Trites tossed 696 (2741, fol lowed by Eileen Vivian with 693 (313). (Some of these women should be in the men’s league). in the Gorrie had no trouble in elimin ating them two straight. It Doesn’t Add Up The p 1 a y o f f s e t u p in W.O.A.A. has really got teams in the south section won dering. And you can reason why when Lucan, fbr instance, pairs off with Wellesley in the semi fin a I s while their next-door neighbours in Ailsa Craig stand idly by. Now last week Wellesley again comes down to Lucan to take on Ailsa Craig in the next round. As if that isn’t enough to start you , thinking then take Zurich for another example. They faced Gorrie in the semi-finals while Ilderton squares off against an other northern team from Ripley. It just doesn’t add up.
