The Hawks were victorious 6-5 in Exeter in the opening game of the series Friday with the win- ning goal coming as time was running out and repeated the pattern with a 4-3 win Tuesday. The New Hamburg six took their only home game to date by a 6-4 count on Saturday night. More than 4,200 fans have at- tended the three games played so far and have seen exciting action from start to finish in every contest, The fourth and fifth games of the set to provide a winner to go against Aurora or Parry Sound in the provincial final will be in New Hamburg, Friday and Saturday. The sixth game will be back on Exeter ice, Tuesday April 18 and if a seventh con- test is needed, it goes in the Waterloo county town, the fol- lowing night. The Exeter win Tuesday broke an enviable record the Hahns had set in playoff action to date. In their other three playoff sets, the Hahns were able to win four straight games after dropping the opener in each case, Scott Burton's long screened shot from the right point provid- Series!

Craig Chapman earned the as- sist on the winning goal as he dug the puck out of the corner and fed it back to the waiting Scott Burton at the blue-line. Referees Bill Walsh and Ray Richards handed out 15 penalties With the Hahns being tagged with nine. A crowd of 1,048 was on hand. HAHNS WIN In New Hamburg Saturday night, the Hahns took a 2-1 lead after the first twenty minutes of play, increased the margin to 4-1 at the end of the second session and held on to gain the 6-4 win. The Hawks put on the pressure in the first ten minutes of the final frame and scored three times to a single reply from the home club to cut the lead to 5-4. Defenceman Orest Romashyna was called for hooking at 15:41 and the Exeter crew went to work in an attempt to even the count. The power play backfired and about a minute later Ron Mark, one of the top goal producers for the Hahns, broke away to beat Tom Glavin in the Exeter nets to salt away the victory and even the series. As in the first game in Exeter, the Hahns were first to hit the scoreboard, Jim Nahrgang hit- ting the mark after only a min- ute and one second of play. Mike Cushman, who has missed the last couple of contests be- cause of a leg injury, made his presence felt as he finalized a three-way effort with line-mates Craig Chapman and Gary Parsons at 8:58 to even the count at a goal apiece. The Hahns h eaded for the dressing room and the first rest session with a one goal edge as the result of Savo Vujovic's close-in backhand shot at 11:40. The only two goals of the sec- ond session were fired by Roger Kropf and Don Culbert of the Hahns. Kropf took a long blue- line pass from Paul Scherer and blasted a shot between the legs of Tom Glavin and Culbert con- nected with a powerplay slapshot from the point, using Ron Mark and Bob Ruthig as a screen. It took the Hawks only 28 seconds of the final period to again find the scoring combin- ation as Scott Burton bashed in a long drive on a play started by Parsons and Cushman. Only a minute had elapsed when Ruthig tipped in a shot by Mark and the Hahns were back in front by three goals 5-2. The Hawks fought back and were able to score on two oc- casions to cut the deficit to one — Please turn to page 7 SCOTT BURTON CRAIG CHAPMAN . . . score winning goals in Hawk victories Bankers bounce back in Rec league finals ed the Hawks with their fourth goal at 18:58 of the third period and a 9-3 win in Tuesday's free- skating tilt. Burton's goal, his second of the night, was the only score of the final twenty minutes of play. New Hamburg led 3-2 after the first period and the Hawks tied the score at 3-3 midway through the second session. Tom Glavin in the Exeter nets was the real hero of his club's win as he continuously came up with great stops. Glavin stopped at least seven clean-cut New Hamburg breakaways throughout the sixty minute contest. At the other end of the rink, Tim Forler was almost as great in foiling many Hawk rushes. Play was fast and furious for the first twenty minutes of action with first one team and then the other missing golden scoring op- portunities, The Hahns' Don Culbert, just coming out of the penalty box in the last minute of play, took ad- vantage of a lapse by the Exeter defence and picked up a loose puck to find the mark and give his club a 3-2 edge as they head- ed for the first rest. Paul Scherer started the visit- ors away quickly at 2:25 as he took a pass from Roger Kropf and beat Glavin on a close-in drive. The Hawks, continuing their successful power play attack of other games, tied the count at six minutes with Culbert sitting out a hooking sentence. Mike Cushman brought the home fans to their feet as he banged the puck home on a rebound from a shot fired goalward by defence- man Larry Willert. The second Exeter marker notched at 9:17 by Scott Burton also came with the Hawks enjoy- ing a one man advantage. This time Orest Romashyna was in the sin bin as Burton's long drive from near the blue-line hit a NH defender and deflected into scor- ing territory. The goaltenders stole the show completely in the second period as they both came up with sen- sational stops time and time again to hold the score down. Glavin made what probably was the best stop of the night with only 20 seconds remaining in the period as he got his shoulder in front of a drive from Romashyna. The slick Hahn forward sneaked neatly through the defence and seemed to have Glavin at his mercy. Gary Parsons scored the only goal of the middle frame as he whistled a low drive from about 30 feet past Forler. On two separate occasions in the third period, the Hawks gain- ed a two man advantage for at plied for Crediton. In the last twenty minutes of action, Stire completed his three goal performance and Lloyd Moore contributed a single score to up the Bank Boys total to seven. Bob Galloway and Jim Morris- sey were on the firing end of the closing Crediton markers. Hockey at its best. That is exactly what you could call the opening game of the OHA junior "C" semi-final series at the Exeter arena, Friday night. The close to 1,500 fans were treated to the finest and most exciting game of the season as the Exeter Hawks edged New Hamburg Hahns 6-5 on a goal by captain Craig Chapman with only seven sec- onds remaining in regulation time. The Friday crowd was the largest of the sea- son here and the following night the New Hamburg arena entertained its largest gathering of the season, more than 1,800. The Hahns were victorious in this one 6.4 to even the series. The loss in the opener in Exeter was typical of the New Hamburg club's performance in all of their playoff rounds to date. This is the fifth con- secutive series in which the Hahns have dropped the first game. It may be considered a bad sign for the Hawks as the New Hamburg boys went on to win four straight in the other four rounds after dropping the opener. Regardless of the outcome of the present se- ries, the Hawks deserve a lot of credit for their excellent showing throughout the year. The large crowds, especially for the playoffs, have certainly proved that the hockey dished up has been well worth watching. After watching Friday's opener we're sure either the Hawks or New Hamburg will be a worthy opponent for any club in the Ontario final. Accord- ing to the latest reports, the winner of the local series will go against either Napanee or Aurora. Sponsors of the New Hamburg club are going all out in their attempt to bring home the provincial championship. Two of their performers, Ron Mark and Bob Farrell are attending Harvard University in Boston on hockey scholarships and were flown in for the weekend series. Mark showed his worth to the club by picking up a goal and two assists in Exeter and notching another goal in the Saturday contest. Getting back to Friday's game here, it is not only our opinion that this was a terrific hockey game. Walter "Turk" Broda, coach of the London Nationals of the OHA junior "A" commented that "this was one of the best junior games I have wit- nessed all year." We sat next to the big fellow in the penalty box area for most of the contest and were interested in his method of checking out some of the players he was interested in. Interested mostly in the boys with at least two years of junior hockey left, Broda would fre- quently check his little black book that contained the birth dates of the players on each team with a copy of the score sheet listing the players' names and numbers. Breda, while he has been retired from the professional playing ranks for quite a few years, still holds a couple of NHL playoff records for goal tenders and these are liable to stand up for a long time. "Turk", continually fighting a "battle of the bulge" with Leaf officials during his playoff days participated in 101 playoff contests and hung up 13 shutouts.

Bank of Montreal. GOOD CHANCE FOR CHIPCHASE While talking to Broda, we asked about the whereabouts of Jack Chipchase and his chances of making the NHL. Jack, an older brother of Bill Chipchase of the Hawks, was a top performer with the Toronto Marlboros in his junior days and has moved on in the Leaf organization. The London coach related that Jack is cur- rently with Omaha of the Central league on loan from Tulsa and the Toronto system. "I think Jack has a good chance of making the NHL especially with expansion coming up as he is a "hitter" and that's what the pros are looking for," were Broda's wards. The conversation between periods got around to the question of expansion in the NHL and the draft system that will be used to stock the six new American clubs. As was announced some time ago, each of the present clubs will be allowed to protect 12 play- ers the first time around. According to Broda, the Boston Bruins will get a little help as they will be able to freeze 14 players in the initial pickings. This is due to their consistent failure of making the play- offs. Like most rules in any sport, the National league teams are finding a few loopholes in the draft system. Broda said that all the present clubs are doing the same thing in hiding a few players from the draft. This method can only be used in a couple of leagues including the American where the National leaguers sell a player or two 'to the club they have a working agreement with, thus keeping them off the unprotected draft list. In a league such as the Central pro loop, where the NHL'ers have direct sponsorship, this cannot be done. Another interested spectator at Friday's game was Ralph "Farmer" McFadden of London. McFad- den, a former top performer with Seaforth inter- mediate clubs of the past, was probably here for two reasons. Now a scout for the Detroit Red Wing sys- tem, he was probably having a good look at some of the younger participants and his son Bruce was one of the referees. Incidentally, the game was one of the clean- est and fastest moving of the year and was well handled by McFadden and his partner Ken Wer- boweski of Delaware. Probably the most interesting fact from a local standpoint was that the Hawks went until 13:12 of the second period before drawing a penalty. A fairly unusual fourth game of best-of-three will be played at the Exeter arena tonight, Thurs- day, to decide the championship in the Exeter and district Rec hockey league. Crediton Tigers, first place finishers in the regular schedule and the Bank Boys are deadlocked after three games of competition. Crediton won the first game 10-6, the two teams battled to a 7-7 draw in the second contest and the Bankers fought back with a 7-5 win Thursday to stay in contention for league honors. Tonight's game that will be played to a finish to decide the play-for-fun puck title will get underway at 8 o'clock. Two of the Bank Boys top scor- ers throughout the season, Larry Stire and Pete McFalls, each col- lected a hat trick to lead their club to the victory. The Bankers started out as if they meant to extend the series, taking a 2-0 lead in the first five minutes of play and were never headed although the Crediton boys were able to cut the lead to a single goal on several occasions. McFalls and Stire triggered their first goals soon after play began to move their club in front. Pat McKeever, who tallied two goals to share Crediton scoring honors with Bob Galloway, scored on a solo effort midway through the first before Stire was back to regain the two goal lead for the Bankers before play ceased in the initial session. Each team was able to score twice in each of the second and third stanzas. McFalls fired two quick markers early in the second to complete his night's tallying and McKeever and Galloway re- 4% from date of deposit. 4% on minimum monthly balance. 4% with cash withdrawals and free transfers for chequing.
