'Editor. 4410449 8e0.141AA111eeeeeneett eeeteseueettementeu . tteetA.Nentee The best tiews to reach. this .sports desk this Wim was that of SWEDEN winning the WORLD 1XCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP from they RUSSIANS, de- fending ehannpiens of 1966. The SWEDES did it the hard way which ma• kes. their victory that much more impressive. ,Trailing 4-2 going into the thirdand final period 8AEN applied the pressure and potted a pair of goals before the burly Russians could get organized, A. 21 -year-old lad by the name of EILERT MAATA must be the proudest athlete in the world this weer as he picked up a looseuck in the midst. of a goaimouth scramble and slid it into the net to give his country the world's top hockey Crown by at single point. Over 50,00Q fans sat in a snowstorm to see the world hockey laurels change hands for the second time in two years, The MARTA. goal may cause a national rebellion over there between the REDS and SWEDES but the team on the ;end of the firing line is more apt for be the CZECHOSLOVAIfIANS. The CZECHS handed the RUSSIAN team their first tie game of the round robin series which took. the point that caused them to give up their world hockey crown. VSEVOLOD BQBROV, the Russian star. of the ice .lanes who practically beat the KITCHENER- WATERLOO• DUTCHMEN single-handed last year, ]missed the final game of the series because of an injury he received when hit by a CZECH in an earlier game. So the third place finishing Czechs really took the toll of the Reds this year. Hope we don't hear of firing squads being used on them! TO THE SALT MINES DYNAMOS! The most disgusting thing that comes to this corner are the reasons the C,A.H,A. have put up before us for not having a team to carry our colors 1our national overseas. to a nagame, It looks ptoythis corner tht the hockey men of this proud country of ours are forgetting hew to take a beating in a sportsmanship manner. One of the ,biggest reasons: given for a no •Cana- dian entry is the finance problem. To add to it, they give still another reason that says it's because of military intervention of the Russians in Hungary. This really takes the cake! Does a hockey club and politics go together? We feel they're just making up a bundle of feeble excuses. When Canada was winning the world championship (we've captured it 15 times since 1924), there wasn't much kick about the expenses, It wasn't until we lost the title in 1956 that we found out we couldn't afford it. That kind of sportsmanship isn't going to en- hance our international prestige. #' * * it * , •* BASEBALL NOTE President WALLY WEIN of the Huron -Perth Intermediate Baseball League for the past two.years called us *to say that a meeting will take place in DASHWOOD on .MARCH 12 at 8;00 p.m. SHARP!

Owcn Sound Nip� r �' e s InSudden-DeathThriller Owen Sound Falcons squeezed out a thrilling last-minute 17-63 victory from the South Huron District High School senior boys basketball team in a sudden - death WOSSA semi-final game played in Owen Sound on Fri- day night to eliminate the lo- cals from WOSSA competition. Coach Glenn Mickle's team went down fighting right to the final buzzer as only two baskets separated the evenly -matched teams. A roaring ovation was heard from the some 400 jubilant high school students as the Falcon players carried their coach, Harvey Singleton, from the play- ing court on their shouldersafter the game. Scoring stars of the game came in the. persons of 6' 5" Dave Chambers of . Owen Sound and Bev Sturgis of South Bur - on. Each athlete netted 27 points to keep the crowd in excitement. Right from the first tossup, Sturgis grabbed the ball and dribbled down the floor all the way to give South Huron a quick 2.0 lead. Jack Clarke was checked in the centre zone of the court mid- way through the initial period that went for an Owen Sound basket but. the game competitor later sank .a pair of foul shots to ,nullify the Falcon basket, A number of double fouls were called by the two Owen. Sound referees and by the tithe .the first quarter had ended, South Huron were holding on tightly tq a 13-12 lead. Sparked by Lanky Dave Cham• berg 11 points, Owen Sound came roaring back to outscore the lo- cals 17-10 in the second quarter but actually the score didn't really indicate the play. Tempers started to get a little on the noticeable side on the South Huron club as dog and hook shots bounced and rolled crazily around the hoop but just wouldn't drop in, Carrying a 29-23 lead into the third quarter, the Falcons tried desperately to add to their lead but South Huron was not to be outdone by ,any fancy ball hand- ling as they matched the 22 - point total recorded by Owen Sound, John Hinchiey }vas the high - scoring device used by the Owen Sounders in the third stanza as he tossed in for 10. of the 22 points while South Huron's BIU Lavender used a number of his favorite corner of the court shots to account for most of the 11 points he .got, With Owen Sound leading 50- r on DEBENTURES and GUARANTEED TRUST CERTIFICATES IUl-RON & ERIE '1 r. \, 1 1 soot ERIE Boniest Noiale (• 1'N .11).1 '1'I{C S'1' Mod Office — Letid'on, Ontario t]IetriBt WtepreseMtetWea.

Then a foul was called against South Huron and Chamber's sank a couple of foul shots to boost the homesters into a 63-61 lead. Jim Henry dropped a beautiful one -handed peg through the -hoop front centre court to push the Falcons into a 65-61 advantage as the seconds ticked away.

By virtue of_the win, Centralia will now meet the Aylmer sta- tion club in the local arena on Thursday night at 8:30. Youth with speed against vet- erans with experience was the contest MondaA night. Clinton skated rings around the Cen- tralia team for most of the game but failed to park the puck in the twine even though they had some excellent scoring op- portunities, Centralia's steadier play and accurate • shooting brought them out on top, An unexpected 'strong third period finish by the Centralia team proved to be the turning point as they whistled five con, seeutive goals past Hayes in the Clinton nets to outscore the vis- itors 5.1 in the final 20 minutes of play, Rightwinger Bill Franklin and defencemen Moe Gobeil teamed up to provide most of the kayo punch to the radar men. Franklin was the big spark - ping in the goal -getting depart- inent for the Winners as he fired three with two coining in the all-important 'third period, Gobeil, steadiest and most ex- perienced . defenceman" on the club, blinked the light once and set up two other Centralia goals. Charlie Parent and Don Pro, fittiodscores] the other two Cen- tralia markers in the third per. Captain Ron Smith was by far the best pian on the ice for the losers as he netted a hat trick arid proved to be very danger- ous every,t"ime he got his stick en the puck. Centralia goaltender, Gil Geek• in, turned in a top-notch per fermance to keep, his club in the game particularly in the first two periods when Clinton tested the agile netminder with plenty of rubber. Clinton held a 2.1 lead going into the final period hut five successive goals by Centralia! took the wind right out of their sails.
