The Lucan-Ilderton Jets are
within one game of winning the
Ontario Hockey Association
Senior "B" championship,
The Jets swept three games
this week from the Stratford
Perths and could wrap up the
championship with a win in
Stratford, Friday night.
The Lucan-Ilderton club
started the series Wednesday
night at the Ilderton arena with a
4-1 victory over the Perths.
Friday night it was back to the
Classic City arena in Stratford
and a very decisive 11-5 win for
the Jets.
Sunday night back at the
Ilder ton arena, the Jets got a goal
from Jacques Cousineau with
only ten seconds remaining in the
third period to take a 4-3 decision
and a stranglehold on the best-of-
seven series.
During the regular season, the
Jets finished in first place while
Stratford placed second. In the
semi-finals, the L-I team ousted
Bothwell five games to one.
On their way to the finals, the
Stratford Perths eliminated the
Preston Jesters and the Durham
Huskies.
Pressure pays off
In Sunday's 4-3 win over
Stratford, the Jets held a wide
edge in territorial play in the
third period and Cousineau's
game winning score was the
culmination of consistent
pressure.
Stratford also came up with a
couple of good scoring op-
portunities in the dying minutes
but Lorne Daer in the Jets net
was equal to the occasion.
Jamie Robb drew an assist on
the winning goal at 19:50 as his
shot from the point was tipped
into the net by Cousineau.
The Perths took a 2-1 lead after
the first period of play only to
have the Jets reverse the scoring
procedure in the second twenty
minutes to square the score at 3-
3.
Barry Baynham put the Jets in
front 1-0 at 9.26 as he took a pass
from Bill Bourne and found the
scoring range as a Stratford
power play backfired.
Before the initial period was
over, John McLean and Bob
Jeffrey counted for the Perths,
the second goal coming on a
power play.
The second period was only
four minutes old when the Jets
took advantage of a power play
situation, Jamie Robb started
things rolling by carrying the
puck through centre and hitting
Jack Nairn with a pass. Nairn in
turn fired towards the net and
Bill Fairbairn tipped the puck
into the Stratford goal.
At the eleven minute mark,
Dave Reving ton took a pass from
Jack Nairn and hit the net with a
30-foot backhand shot along the
ice,
Before the period ended, John
St. Cyr squared the score with an
unassisted power play goal for
IIIIIMMINIPINININIMM11111111.11111=111%
the Perths.
Good first period
The Jets wasted little time in
deciding the outcome of Friday's
game in Stratford as they scored
six times in the first 13 minutes of
play and Stratford could score on
only one occasion before the
period ended.

Pete Loveless took care of the
scoring for the first two goals. He
stole the puck from a Stratford
player for an unassisted score for
the first and finished off a play
with Terry Bourne and Bill
Dunnell on the second successful
play.
Dave Revington then took over
and equalled the performance by
Loveless. Revington scored the
first on passes from Jack Nairn
and Jim Pinnegar and the second
on a direct pass from Nairn from
a face-off.
Doug Galloway and Tom
Hodgins upped the Jets lead to 6-0
later in the period and John St,
Cyr fired the lone Stratford
marker.
In the second period, Hodgins
scored his second goal of the
night, Pete Loveless completed
his hat trick and Dick Doughty
added an unassisted goal while
his club was shorthanded.
Bob Jeffrey counted for the
Perths in the middle frame'. Ite, •
scored again in the third along
with Bob Zimmer and John Hall.
Scoring third period goals for
the Jets were Barry Baynham
There is no one thing about the
Austin Marina that I can really
get enthusiastic about, yet there
are few cars that I found as plea-
sant to drive.
Usually there is at least one
thing about a car that I find im-
pressive — styling, handling, per-
formance, workmanship, etc. —
but in the Marina, no one thing
really stood out. But the car as a
whole stands as one of the top
contenders in the economy field.
Admittedly, I have not been a
fan of British cars for some
years, since I got rid of my last
one, a front-wheel drive Austin
1800 that could best be described
as a partially-mobile disaster
area.
British Leyland, the makers of
Austin cars, spent some time
making front-wheel-drive cars, a
type of machine that attracts me,
but the ones I bought had some
trouble hanging together. They
still make them but only the Mini
is still sold here.
The company has returned to
conventional sedans for its
bread-and-butter lines. The
Marina is very much a projection
of the Austin Cambridge-Morris
Oxford of the late 1950s and early
1960s, solid if unexciting small
family sedans that attracted a
fairly devoted group of owners,
many of whom became dis-
illusioned with BL or British
Motor Corporation as it was then,
when they traded their cars on
the newer but more troublesome
front-wheel drive Austins.
The Marina has much more
contemporary styling than the
Cambridge had in its day,
although it is about the same size
and offers the same room. It is
more powerful and handles
better.
The four-cylinder engine is a
detuned version of the one used in
the MGB sports car. Millions are
in use. It is rated at 77
horsepower. Fuel consumption
on the automatic and stick shift
cars I drove was in the mid to
high 20s.
Both cars had only about 1,200
The Ilderton pee wees came
roaring back over the weekend to
score two wins over Marmora
and keep their hopes alive for an
Ontario championship.
The Ilderton youngsters scored
a 5-4 win on home ice Saturday
afternoon and travelled to
Marmora Sunday and recorded a
8-6 victory to tie the best-of-seven
series at three games apiece.
The seventh and deciding game
to declare the 1972-73 all-Ontario
Pee wee "D" champion will be
played at the Ilderton arena
Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m.
In provincial bantam "D" final
Colborne eliminated Ilderton in
four straight games. Colborne
clinched the title with a 9-6 vic-
tory, Saturday.
Come from behind
Sunday's win for the Ilderton
pee wees was accomplished in
come-from-behind fashion.
At one stage in the game
Marmora led 5-3, The two teams
battled away and the score was
tied at 6-6 late in the third period.
With only a few minutes
remaining, Jeff Marshall scored
his second and third goals of the
game to gain the Ilderton victory
and force a seventh game for the
provincial title.
Jeff Hartman scored two goals
in Sunday's game while single
goals were notched by Bobby
Hudson, Barry O'Neil and Bruce
Hodgins,
Saturday's game was also
decided in the dying moments
with Barry O'Neil firing a suc-
cessful shot with only two
minutes left in regulation time.
Jeff Marshall again led the
Ilderton scoring attack with a
pair of goals. Scoring one goal
apiece were Jeff Hartman and
Bobby Hudson in addition to the
game winner from the stick of
Barry O'Neil,
and Jack Nairn.
In Wednesday's opening 4-1 win
for the Jets play was close
checking from start to finish.
Jack Nairn opened the game
scoring at 1.27 of the first period
and only six minutes later,
Jacques Cousineau bagged what
proved to be the winning goal on
passes from Doug Galloway and
Bill Dunnell. Barry Baynham
and Pete Loveless drew assists
on Nairn's score.
John McLean scored the lone
Stratford goal on the first period
and the second period was
scoreless.
Terry Bourne notched the third
L-I goal early in the third period
with a high shot on a play started
by Bill Dunnell and Tom Hodgins.
The final goal came at 14.25
when Bill Fairbairn intercepted a
Stratford clearing pass and
waltzed in alone to score.
miles on them so they were still a
bit stiff. British cars seem to
need a bit more break-in time
than those built elsewhere. Back
to the point, the automatic's
acceleration times from rest to
an indicated 60 miles an hour
equalled the 15 to 16 second of the
car with the four-speed manual
transmission, I would think the
stick shift car would have about a
two-second advantage when both
are broken in.
I preferred the automatic
because it made the little sedan
an effortless one to drive, es-
pecially around town. It had
enough of a kickdown to pass
reasonably well on the highway
although that was the only place
the stick shift car had a
noticeable advantage. It is quite
a lively car around town.
The automatic car seemed to
bog down a bit starting away on
hard acceleration runs, but once
the old four-banger starts rev-
ving up, the car moves much
faster than you senses indicate.
The noise level is good at town
speeds although it rises sharply
at over 70 m.p.h.
The steering is light and ac-
curate but the car is not really
any great shakes at cornering,
compared with those front-
wheel-drive Austins, but the
radial ply tires help it get around
corners well enough despite the
body lean.
The lean is probably due to the
relatively soft (by British stan-
dards) suspension. The ride is
firm but not at all uncomfor-
table, Sidewind resistance is only
fair. You can feel the buffeting
but it still takes quite a blast
before the car moves to any alar-
ming extent, The car is sur-
prisingly good on rough or gravel
roads.
The seats are about the closest
thing the Marina has to what I'
consider an outstanding point.
They are definitely the best in the
economy car class and better
that those in many ears costing
quiet a few thousand more.

Ilderton club rebounds
in OMHA final round
sedans is quite roomy, par-
ticularly in the front. The back
seat room, while not as great as
some larger sedans, still is ade-
quate and puts either the Vega or
Pinto to shame, as does the 13
cubic foot trunk.
Just to make me feel at home,
there were generous dabs of glue
on the upholstery of one of the
cars just as there were in my old
Austins. The trim application is a
bit crude in spots but basically
things seem hung together a bit
better than BL once did it.
The dash is simple and func-
tional with all controls in easy
reach and instruments that are
easy to see. The dash controls
and instruments are well lighted,
although the green glow seems a
bit eerie at first.
The heater is good, a point that
was often overlooked in Austins
once sent to Canada.
The four-door Marina is well
equipped with items that are
extra-cost options on most cars.
The list includes white-wall 155
70 series 13 inch radial tires, anti-
'glare window glass and rearview
mirror, carpets on the floor, twin
door mirrors, cigarette lighter,
bumperettes, backup lights,
courtesy lights on all doors,
heated rear window, reclining
front seats, folding centre arm
rest on the rear seat, wheel trim
rings, carburetor heater for
better cold weather starting and
heavy duty alternator and
battery.
The suggested retail price for
the four-door standard transmis-
sion is $2,895 and $3,120 for the
automatic. The lowest priced car
is the two-door coupe at $2,695
and the highest, the dressed-up
GT, at $3,095.
The car is well worth looking at
for anyone considering an
economy sedan. BL claims it has
had the lowest warranty claims
cost on the Marina that it has had
on any car. It is enough car to
make me take back most of the
thousands of nasty words I have
said about British car makers
and this one in particular,
In the final bantam game,
Hugh Davis and Todd McKinlay
each scored two goals for
Ilderton while Jim Davis and
Wayne Hodgins each scored
singles.
Hawks victorious

In a challenge hockey game
Wednesday night, the Exeter
senior Hawks downed the Shipka
Saints 11-5 in an exhibition
challenge game.
The Saints recently won the
South Huron Intermediate

two goals to pace the Shipka
scoring attack. Getting one goal
each were Barry Clarke, Bob

and John Becker.
