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. imainnwaninaiminumuninainnimuni BOWLING SCORES EXETER MEN'S A PLAYOFFS RO A, Flynn 738 5 5 SP G.

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. The interior of the four-door Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER' 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 challenge game 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 hockey championship while the Hawks are Exeter and district Rec league champions. Steve Murley led the Hawks scoring with a four goal per- formance. Next in line with two goals each came Randy Tieman, Denton Gaiser and Ron Lin- denfield. Getting a single goal was Perry Stover. Dennis Morrissey, Bill Hoff- man and Stan Lovie each scored two goals to pace the Shipka scoring attack. Getting one goal each were Barry Clarke, Bob Lovie, Shane Burley, Larry Laye and John Becker.
