SCORING RECORDS SET
Some scoring records have been set in Big
Eight OHA during the past two weeks, Two of the
Lucan-Ilderton forward lines have been going on
point getting sprees.
The combo 'of Steve Storey, Don Fletcher
and Stu O'Neil came up with 22 scoring points
recently, while the Max O'Neil, Barry Hearn and
Dusty Aldis trio found the range for 25 points
a week later.
Not to be outdone by the Combines' snip-
ers, Jack McIlwain, former Stratford. Indian now
toiling for Seaforth Towners, scored nine times
in, a game last Tuesday.
Hensall-Zurich Combines on a 21-game un-
beaten streak are within a whisker of copping
the 'Shamrock junior regular schedule laurels.
With three tilts remaining, all of which will be
played this week, the Combines need one point
to cinch the title.
In Zurich a week ago, Don Buddo, Sham-
rock minor boss doubled as referee and turned
in a "ripping performance". Incidentally, Don,

Goal number five, turning out
to be the clincher was fired
by Gary Parsons as he came

ice that hit the goalie's skate

line. The referees awarded a
free shot and Loader made no
mistake as he skated in close
to catch a corner of the net
and notch what proved to be
the winner.
The closing frame, while
scoreless, produced exciting
end to end rushes. The visi-
tors sent out an extra attacker
to replace the goalie in the
dying seconds but couldn't get
near the Exeter net.
BANTAMS BOW
As in the preceding games
the bantams from Stratford
wasted little time in jumping
out in front, scoring twice in
two minutes, the first coming
with Exeterite Bob Beavers sit-
ting out a tripping infraction.
Don Burton led the winners'
attack with a duo of counters
and single tallies were added
by Bob Jeffrey, Bob Mavity and

penalties handed out by referees
Cy Blommaert and Jim Mc-
Donald.
CLOSING RALLY
Using their usual pattern of
gaining momentum in the latter
periods, Boom's midgets came
roaring back to squeeze out a
5-4 triumph.
After dropping to a three-
goal deficit in the initial frame
the locals dominated play in
the middle stanza, scoring twice
to get back in contention.
The first home team score
came as Jack Glover, after per-
sistent checking, scooped up a
loose puck, flipped in front to
a waiting Mike Cushman who
found the mark.
Goal number two came about
in a similar way as LarryStire
dug the rubber out of the corner
and found John Lock loose in
front.
Harry Vailet with. two and
singles by John Stewart and
Pat McGrath put Stratford into
a 4-2 command after forty mi-
nutes of play.

out on the wrong end of a 5-0

the score sheet within two mi-
nutes of play.
SQUIRTS SQUASHED
Gordon Fisher scored the
first of his pair at 1.59 to
put the lakeport boys into an
early lead which they never
relinquished. Stuart Asher du-
plicated his team-mate's sco-
ring feat and David Graft added
number five.
Larry Haugh scored twice for
the losers.
PENALTY SHOT DECIDES
John Loader's tally on a pe-
nalty shot provided the differ-
ence in a well-played pee wee
tilt.
Goals by Mike Haynes and
Jerry Candler put the Stratford
lads in front quickly.
Bill Fairbairn got the first
one back at 4.13 of period
two as he tipped in Philip Ho-
ward's shot after Barry Bayn-
ham started the play.

drive from near the blue line
found the target to knot the
score.

the Stratford cage near the
period's end, defenceman Don
Brennan grabbed the puck as

twine on single efforts to ac-

score in Weeks, 13-0.

trick plus one led the barrage
on the Stoneybrook net-minder.

BEHIND THE SILVER STICK
While in Port Huron last weekend we had
an interesting chat with J. J. Kinsella of Ottawa,
Silver Stick commissioner and picked up some
of the background and plans of this organiza-
tion,
The first game of this kind was played in
Potsdam, New York, in 1956 and then moved to
Richmond, a few miles outside of Ottawa for the
first Canadian tourney the following year.
The tournament in Port Huron was the
beginning 'of what is hoped will be an annual
event. In addition to the yearly competition pres-
ent plans are to set up a Hall of Silver Stick
Hockey in the lobby of the spacious new arena
to include trophies, pictures of founders, win-
ners, etc.
According to Mr. Kinsella the purpose of
these tourneys is to promote International Citizen-
ship through the medium of minor hockey.
A unique method used in the Port Huron
meet last week, was that only one trophy was
up for grabs for the pee wee and bantam divi-
sions with sterling silver pins for the members
of the winning clubs.
Usually 'two age group teams play as an
entry from each city or area in a two-game series
with the combination having the highest total of
points declared as winners,
In the case of the Exeter pee wees, they
were grouped with the Sarnia Indian bantams,
winners of the other half of the Watford com-
petition.
The eventual winner with three wins in
four starts was the entry from the Ottawa area,
made up of the Ottawa Riverside pee wees and
bantams from Rockcliffe RCAF station.
Plans are also going ahead for a world-
wide minor Silver Stick tourney to be staged in
the proposed new coliseum in. Ottawa,
Mr. Kinsella stated that inquiries con-
cerning minor hockey have been received from
Switzerland and Innsbruck, Austria. The coach
at Innsbruck is former Niftier Larry Regan,

The Washington Senators will have a

One of the greatest walking nien of all
