5ispel_the'bluer'which have settled on the fortunes of the Wingham Towne
Hallers in their request for the OHA Junior .“O’ title. Maybe Wingham
hasn’t gotten over the initial shock of dropping four straight contests to the
Seaforth Baldwins, but whatever it is, a little scoring punch qould make the
difference in their current battles with the Ingersoll Reems. The Towne
Hallers find themselves on the short end of a two to nothing count in games
in the present set, but they could have had a two game lead had their scor
ing powers been a little more accurate. In both encounters, the Reems were
outplayed by Wingham, but the yawning space between the goal posts might
have given the Towne Hallers “buck-fever”, because they had opportunities
to rack in three or four more goals on each occasion.
Actually the Wingham team is
playing as well or better than they
played against some of the “B” clubs
in their own group, and yet they still
are seeking their first win. One weak
point might be the lack of shooting
itself on the part of the Towne Hal
lers, who seem to want to get in
close, stick-handle and park a pretty
W goal in the Ingersoll net. It might be
better, on occasion to forget about the
.artistry of it, and whack away from
the blueline. It mightn’t look as good
for the fans . . . but it looks better on
the scoreboard!
In last Friday’s game, which the
Reems won 7 to 4, it was. indicated
that this could be the most colorful
series to date. While the hockey is
furious going both ways, the fans
have entered into the spirit of it. In
gersoll partisans littered the ice with
papers and fruit last week, tore a
board out of tile end of the rink and
deposited it on the ice, and did other
assorted deeds of mayhem. As a mat
ter of fact, it took nearly an hour
to play the last period on Friday night,

One of the better features of the
present Ingersoll-Wingham series has
been the improved defensive work of

with holding the fort, KEVIN BELL,

JIMMY LOCKRIDGE, have been do
ing much better work in this series

The Lions and the Legion are dish
ing up some of the best minor hockey
the Wingham and Kincardine Arenas
have seen in years, We’re speaking of
their two respective Midget clubs who
have so far battled on even terms in
the “C” semi-finals. Over the week
end the Kincardine Legion kids up
ended Wingham 5 to 3 to tie the series
at one win and one tie apiece. The
deciding game was played in Walker
ton on Monday night, with Wingham
emerging the victory by a score of
4-3, The winner meets'Seaforth in the
finals, and one of the interesting
points about these clubs, is the fact
that they have also met previously as
bantam teams and the rivalry was
just as keen.
MiniiETS LOSE S -3
IN THIRD OF SERIES
Wingham Midgets took a setback
in their best of three playoffs with
Kincardine Legion Midgets on Satur
day night, when Kincardine edged
them 5-3, in a well-fought contest in
the Wingham. Arena. The defeat
left the two teams with a win and a
tie each.
In the first period Humphreys
scored the only counter, with an
assist by Baker, to give the Kincar
dine sextet a lead they never lost
throughtout the struggle.
Ken Hodgkinson came back for
Wingham in the first minute of the
second frame, but McGaw countered
for Kincardine within a few min
utes of play and Hunter banged a
second home in the last half of the
frame to put Kincardine up 3-1 at
the end of the second.
In the final stanza Kincardine
fattened their lead with one from
Sutherland at 5.03. The local boys
came to life at the 14 minute mark
when defenceman Keith Lancaster
popped one in unassisted, and Jim
Campbell repeated on a pass from
Murray about a minute later. .
From then on things were hot and
heavy around Kincardine net, until
the last minute of play when coach
-Vic Loughlean pulled goalie Gary
Storey from the nets to play six men
up. Kincardine defenceman Paul
Carlton grabbed the puck from a
faceoff inside his own blue line, and
banged the rubber the whole length
of the ice and right into the empty
Wingham goal, putting the finisher
I on Wingham’s hopes of tying up the
score.

Midgets Enter
Playoffs with 4=3
From Kincardine
The Wingham Midgets assured
themselves a place in the W.O.A.A.
championship playoffs on Monday
night, when they edged Kincardine
4-3 in an evenly-matched struggle at
the Walkerton Arena, to take the
best of three series. The two teams
had previously fought a see-saw bat
tle with each having a win and a
tie, making Monday’s game a sudden
death affair for the right to play off
against Seaforth.
The game was touch and go all the
way. In the first frame Wingham
opened the scoring with a goal from
Bain at 7.22. Kincardine countered
with one from Baker less than a min
ute later and Gettschalk banged home
another at the 11-minute mark. Red
Houghton got a tally in the last part
of the period, knotting the score 2-2
at the end of the first.
In the second period Foster for
Wingham and Humphreys for Kincar
dine got one apiece, leaving the score
3-3 and the game anybody’s at the
end of the frame.
Both teams were scoreless in the
third period until the 17-minute-mark
when Murray from Campbell and!
Hodgkinson sunk the winning goal with less than three minutes to play. |
The Midgets now go into the WOAAI
championship playoffs against Sea
forth, for the best two out of three.
The first game will be played in the
Wingham arena on Wednesday night
at 8 p.m., with a return match in
Seaforth on Friday. A further game
will be played on neutral ice if neces
sary,
