The minor house league kids are still batt- ling for honors at the local arena. and three teams will compete later on in Easter week tournaments, but that is all that remains of the 1061-02 season. For those persons who measure the success of teams by the number of championships they win, this season will have to be classed as one of the poorer ones according to the record. The brightest star on the home front was certainly the showing by the Exeter Legion ban- tams and coach Dusty i3urns. His crew of young pueksters and their sponsors deserve hearty com- mendation. The kids copped the WOAA "B" champion- ship before they were ousted in °MITA (..ompeti- lion by Strathroy in a home-and-home series with goals to count. The locals actually split as far as the games were concerned, but, lost, the round by a slim 9.7 margin. The loss on Strathroy ice was the first one the kids suffered, all season, hanging up at least 20 straight before they met their match. Some local officials feel the Strathroy man- agement handed them a bit of dirt as the series was originally planned as a best-of-three affair. However, Strathroy pointed out that the game re- port signed in Strathroy before the first game stated that is was to be the shorter series, although Dusty Burns claims he didn't see any such nota- tion. Whether or not it was put on before or after the Strathroy squad won the game by three goals will probably always be a mystery as fat' as local officials are concerned. hut we find we have to give the sportsmen from Strathroy the benefit of the doubt as such a charge is much too serious to be made without having more evidence than what has been presented. However, the fact that a playoff series such as this is pushed through in two games is a bit of a sore point with us. and we fail to see the ONIFIA reasoning behind this practice which is quite common throughout their playoffs. They probably argue that the time element is the deciding factor in such series and as they are played late in the season they have to he pushed through. However, using the local squad as an ex- ample, it is rather ridiculous as far as we are con- cerned that a team that has gone that far could he eliminated if they happened to come up with only One bad game during the whole season. THE CLUBS WE'RE EVEN The two teams were very evenly matched as the scores of the games will indicate. but if one had a bad game they would have had little chance of staying in contention.. There is no doubt in our mind that Exeter would have had an excellent chance of winning a third meeting between the two clubs whether it was played on neutral ice or at either of the arenas had they flipped for a deciding game. The Strathroy squad had an advantage we would say in the fact they played the first game on their home ice. Playing against an unknown team in a critical playoff match, we feel there is a decided advantage in playing in your home arena with your own fans on hand to cheer you on. This is not quite so important in the second game between teams, because they know what they are up against and are not prone to having jitters. So, if you agree with this line of reason- ing you can see where Strathroy had an advantage in having the first game at home and we know this was just an agreement between the clubs as there certainly was no basis for awarding the first game to either team when they have been compet- ing in different leagues all season, We are not attempting to make excuses for the Exeter loss, because we feel the better team Nenn—in Strathroy, However, we also feel the bet- ter team won in Exeter and we think a third game should have been played to determine the winner between these evenly matched clubs. BATT'N AROUND — The Zurich bantams were also forced to play a home-and-home series with Alvinston because the OMHA wanted them. finished as soon as possible. However, Don O'Brien's crew has three full weeks now before they have to have a winner declared in their series with, Plattsville , . While we have stated above that the Exeter bantams were the brightest star in local competition this year, the pee woes also deserve commendation. They were ousted in the WOAA finals in overtime in the final game of a best-of- three series with Listowel, and you can't come much closer than that. Of interest in this series was the fact that. the locals won at Listowel, but couldn't repeat in either of their home games. They did the same thing against Clinton, lying at home and winning a pair on their .foes' ice pact Red Loader's kids also tame up with a top thewing ilt Lucan last week in copping their third At ight q3" title in the Shamrock tourney.

Mur- ray Bell started it off when he look a pass from Shaddick and rifled a shot from just inside the blue-line and Wagner tip- ped the puck into the lop cor• nee from his spot beside the crease. However, the Rockets an- swered it at the 5:43 mark on a tally by Gerald Statham whose shot from the corner a.nneared to be at an impos- sible angle, but Mock stopkd it with his stick as it slid across the goal-mouth and ac- cidently deflected it up into the corner of the net himself. The hornesters took a 4.3 lead at the mid-way mark when Terry Bourne scored on his specialty, flipping the puck into the cage right from the face-off to the right of the Bonsait net. it took the Combines until the 1:01 mark of the final pe- riod to knot the count at 4.4 when their first line carried the puck into the Strathroy end and Shaddiek flipped a short hack-hand drive into the open corner.

Wagner also picked up an assist on the other three goals while Overholt also helped on three, The only other player to break into the scoring col- umn was Murray Bell who picked up a pair of assists as he played a stellar game on defense for the winners. The Rockets started off strong in the contest and ap- peared to be heading for an- other' of their home wins as Willie .Peke dented the twine after only one minute of play in the opening stanza. The young winger was left all alone in front of Dennis Mock and he made no mistakes after taking a pass from the corner from John Morgan. The Rockets continued to ap- ply the pressure for the first ten minutes, but Mock came up with some brilliant stops to keep his squad in the game. The Combines finally got rolling in the second half of the period and Overholt knot- ted the count on a nifty play with Wagner. The Combines' captain carried into the Strath- roy end and pulled' both de. fensemen over to him and then put a perfect pass on the stick of his speedy winger who blast- ed the puck into the corner' past Clarke.

The Clinton crew came up with their usual stunt in the series final on their home ice, Sunday, scoring five goals in the last period to post a 6-4. Jim Dick, brought up from the Seaforth juveniles and Ray Scoins sent the `!'owners into a. 2-0 lead in the first period as they beat. Paul Amacher with a pair of unanswered markers. Ray Crozier and Tom Dick, another juvenile star, upped the lead to 4.0 before the mid-way mark of the middle stanza and the Seaforth squad appeared to he on their way to the chain , pions-hip.

The extra series was set up after the clubs won two games each and tied the fifth in the original series, but, the Combines won both the extra games to take the series 12-7. The new champs will advance into a round-robin series with New Hamburg and Milton for the right to meet the Eastern Ontario representatives for the 01-IA laurels. The Combines travel to Milton 'Friday to open the series and will host this club Monday and tackle New Hamburg Wednesday. They play their final game in New hamburg the following Saturday. Manager George Beer said lie was not certain if the top point-getter in this series would advance or if the two top teams would engage in .another series to determine the winner. He pointed out it would depend on how much time was available for the series. Strathroy stars join club The Hensall-Zurieh squad will have two new ad- ditions to their lineup when they play the series al- though they are certainly no strangers to fans in the area. The champs have picked up Strathroy's two best player's in the persons of Ken Faclelle and Terry Bourne, and they should give the Combines a powerful squad, Both pucksters have had try-outs with the senior Rockets. and were the leading scorers for the junior six, radelle finishing second in the league behind Hensall's Bill Shaddick. The Shamrock winner's were allowed to pick up two players due to the fact that the junior "D" group- ing in this area has been homebrew all season, while the other teams in the OHA have been using two im- ports all year. Beer said lie did not know where the two recruits would be put in the lineup, but both are equally adept at defense or at the forward position. ner with Sha &lick a gain finish- ing off a neat play with Wag• ner and Overholt.

Exactly two minutes later though, Shaddick came back with his first of the night to knot the count as he banged in a rebound that Lefty Clarke let loose after stopping a blue- line shot off the stick of Wayne Wil idcartd S ick gave the Combines their first lead in the game at the 7:05 mark of the middle f rame when lie agai n was Johnny-on-the-spot to tip in a rebound from Earl "Cuss" Wagner.
