The Royal Oak win was decisive in their taking the total goal series, photo by Youngs, Brawl mars Pt. Stanley game by Fred Youngs Mention wrestling to anyone and it conjures up all the wrong impressions. Wrestling to most people is the art of the mouth and the actions of those who's faculties suspect at every turn. Most view wrestlers as overindulged gargantuans who move with the grace and agility of a Sherman tank around a canvas mat pounding one another. Not really pounding one another. as the facade of battle is belied by the choreographed looks of pain and shouts of injury, Wrestlers, if I can be allowed to apply that term, are also known for their imaginative names, like the Sheik, or the Crusher and dress in outrageous costumes and gowns with their name stenciled in green sparkle across their back. They engage in the time honoured tradition of ring side verbal intimidation and mental midgetry. We all know the speech. "I just wanna tell all o'you people here, that I'm gonna nail dat Tire Truck Pete's pelvis to da canvas next Monday night. I will smash his teeth and pull his skin off. Yea, you know it, I am the da best." All this to the accom- paniment of hoots and hollers from his fans and those who dislike him, half of whom are women over eighty and the other half of whom are twelve year olds. All of it said to an English announcer who is doing his best to convince the doubting home audience that there is some validity for this aberration of a fine sport, That is the picture that the mention of wrestling con- jures up. It is a false picture of a sport that is possibly the oldest, and one of the most refined and honorable sports there is. The classic Olympian sport, it has been adulterated to suit the blood lust of today's fans. It is not a series of kick and hidden rabbit punches. It is not tacky costumes on fat men. It is not a graceless, money grubbing sport. Rather, it is a sport, that when watched and un- derstood, exhibits the brutal grace of a well executed hip check in hockey, the smoothness of a full swing by a batter in baseball and that incredible durability of soccer players to take punishment and rise to play again. Unfortunately, that is on the amateur level, one that is not seen every Saturday between "Tom and *Jerry" and the afternoon movie, Amateur, or Olympic wrestling follows set patterns and rules. Opening stances, falls. holds and releases are all known. There is nothing new under the sun in wrestling. only the ability of the combatants to think their way out of a situation fast enough. or their ability to pin the other man by knowing his weakness. This is what wrestling is, at least on the amateur levels. Wrestlers at this level are not fat. They don't shout and carry on. They are fit. taught men, with strong bodies and minds that are not caught up in the inane name throwing of their "professional" counterparts. In a sense, wrestlers are some of the last remains of a once fine group known as athletes. To me athletes were really those who competed not for the money and the power, but for the sheer love of the sport. There are few sports left that have not been changed with a professional league. Track and field, tennis, swimming . . . all of them have a professional status. But not wrestling. That claim can he made because the form of wrestling that is termed ,professional, is not really wrestling. What it is I don't really know but to infer that it is indeed wrestling is an insult to those who participate in the sport. The unfortunate thing is that people will continue to see the "pros" as the wrestlers and misunderstand a sport that is performed by those who are athletes and who do care about their sport, a select group of people who are sadly misrepresented by others. the score early in the second when he converted a pass from Pat Devries. The tie was short- lolived, as Rick Daily from Wilson made it 2,1 and Wilson capped the scoring off for Thedford with the game winner before the end of the period. Dennis Johnston's goal from Don Stuckless and Pat Devries was the lone marker in the third. ; After falling behind 2,01 Thedford came up with a five ! goal second period to win the second game 7-4. Don Stuckless with a goal in the first period and Rich Lather with another in the second put Huron Park two up before Thedford exploded. Paul Andrew, Jeff Webster, Guy Wilde, Teddy Wilson and Dave Wight put the visitors ahead 5-2 before the end of the period, Lather and Stuckless, from Don O'Neil each connected with goals to close the gap before own cis Olayoffs start Wilson and Wilde put the game away for Thedford.

The series is tied at one game apiece, By MRS, CAROL 0.1NOgRICH Atom House League The first game of the Atom Rouse league playoffs came up a 4-4 draw between the Flyers and the Leafs as they battle out a best of five series to decide w,ho meets the l3ruins for league honors, a tCohn. Tripp set up Steve Morrissey for the first Leaf goal Bobby Rook added an unassisted marker in the second at 4:05 to put the Leafs two up before Mike Salvona narrowed the gap for the Flyers. Rook converted a pass from his . brother David, to connect again before the period ended. Scot Merrylees set up George Tomes for an early goal in the third frame to make the score 3-2 before Morrissey scored his second, George Tomes came back in the third frame to pick up two goals to tie the score at four each. Three minor penalties were handed out during the contest. The series resumes play Friday, February 13 from 6 to 7 p.m. Van Gerwen added to the total at 8:28. Mitchell's Perry Rolph made the score 2-2 before Steve Jen- nison sent the two teams to the dressing room with the Hawks ahead 3-2. Jennison's goal came while the Hawks had a man advantage. A first minute power play goal by Skinner tied it again. Ralph and Rick Vivian also tallied for Mitchell whileHawks goals came from Ken Pinder, on a power play and Rick Ingram. Exeter wasted no time in the third period, as they scored five goals in less then six minutes. Matt Muller tallied first, followed by Rick Ingram with his second goal of the night. Brian Taylor, Muller and Ingram with his third finished off the scoring for Exeter as they put together three goals in a minute, fifteen seconds. Skinner managed the only third period goal for Mitchell to complete his hat trick. Exeter took nine minors compared to Mitchell's eight. The Hawks now meet first place finishers Belmont in the first round of the playoffs. Mommersteeg expects that the series is "going to be tough" but that the Hawks have "a good chance of winning if we shy out of the penalty box." The best of seven series opens Saturday in Belmont at 8:30. Other playoff action has Lucan meeting Mitchell, Tavistock taking Port Stanley and Seaforth and Mount Brydges. Pee Wee Bantam Shayne Peacock's two goals and two assists led the Northstars to a 5-1 victory in the Pee Wee Bantam action Saturday, Peacock set up a goal:by Scott Smith and scored the winner in the first frame. Warren Legoff picked up the only goal for the Penguins as well. Peacock, Mike Rispin and Smith each added goals in the second and third periods of the game which saw ten minors called. the Hawks came back to take hold of the game. Ken Pinder, and Rick Ingram put the Hawks two up before Paul Graham tied it for Port Stanley. Steve Jen- nison gave the lead to the Hawks before the end of the first period. Weido scored the first of his two goals in the second period before things erupted to cement the win for the Hawks. Pinder added his second of the game just before the period ended. John Van Gerwen and Fred Mommersteeg Jr. both collected powerplay goals in the third. Pinder figured in both goals, as he finished off the game with a two goal three assist performance, Weido scored the eighth and goal for the Hawks with five minutes to go in the game. Bill Lynch added the third for the Canadians. In all there was 224 minutes in penalties handed out including a misconduct and bench minor to Port Stanley coach L. Hause. The Hawks took 101 minutes to Port Stanley's 123 total. The Thursday night contest was tame compared to the Port Stanley game, with 24 minors being called, 13 to the Hawks. Although the Hawks outshot the Braves 45-25, including a 23 shot outburst in the third, they were unable to beat Larry McKay in the Tavistock net 'for more then four goals. The Braves took an early lead as Manford Gardner, Lyle Rosendale and Dan Yantzi all connected before Brian Taylor converted a pass from Gerald Weido to put the Hawks on the scoreboard. Scott Learning and Yantzi cemented the win for the Braves in the second with a goal apiece. Matt Muller from Weido and Taylor and Weido unassisted were the only replies for the Hawks. The Braves had five shots on net in the last period and managed to score on four of them, as Rosendale, Learning, Steve Yantzi and Kevin Woelfe all scored. Rick Moody had the only third period marker for the Hawks. Four of the Braves goals came on power play efforts. A five goal third period led the Hawks to their 10-6 win over the Mitchell Hawks Sunday night in their last regular season game as the two teams entered the third frame tied at five aside, Bob Skinner opened the scoring when he popped in a powerplay effort at 1:35 of the first with Weido off for tripping, Weido came back to tie at 3:49 and John Pee Wee Thedford walked away with a two game lead in their best of five series with Huron Park this past weekend, as they beat Huron Park 3-2 and 7-4. Teddy Wilson led Thedford in the first game as he picked up two goats in their victory. Wilson opened the scoring for Thedford with the lone marker in the first period. Rich Lather came back to tie A three game weekend that included a bench clearing brawl against Port Stanley Saturday night, saw the Exeter Hawks wind up their regular season of play with two wins, 8-3 against Port Stanley and 10-6 over Mit- chell while taking a 9-4 defeat at the hands of the Tavistock Braves. The Saturday game against Port Stanley was interrupted in the second period when both teams cleared the benches and started a wild melee with the Hawks leading 4-2 at 16:51. Both teams were sent to the dressing room, and the referees allowed only six players, in- cluding the goalie, and two substitutes to return to action. The end result of the fracas was three game misconducts to the Hawk's Rick Moody, who was in the penalty box at the time serving a roughing call, Tom Richardson and Gerald Wiedo, The Hawks also took seven misconducts and two fighting majors to Richardson and Weido. The Canadians had three players banished from the game, along with two fighting majors and six misconducts. Manager Fred Mommersteeg of the Hawks was upset over the way in which the game was handled. He felt that Port Stanley came out of it better then they should have. Mommersteeg said they instigated the battle yet took fewer penalties. He also thought the refereeing of the game was handled poorly. He based his accusations on the score sheet that was compiled at the end of the game. Although the brawl took place in the second period, the penalties that were handed out to each team were not compiled until the game was over. Amongst those penalized was Weido, who was given a fighting major and game misconduct. However, when the skeleton crew from the two teams returned to the ice, Weido was amongst the eight players. The eight players were picked by referees Walsh and O'Brien. According to the score sheet, Weido should not have played, however the "banished" number 16 managed to score a goal in the third period, Aside from the fighting, the two teams managed to play hockey and the Hawks clearly dominated the game, beating the hapless Canadians for the third time in four starts this season, Ross Weaver scored the first goat of the game for Port Stanley to put them ahead briefly, before Wrestlers to attend finals Hawksys.Belmont in round one After taking a tournament in Goderich two weeks ago, the SH- DHS wrestling team rolled to two wins this past week in meets, defeating St. Marys 66-12 and Clinton 60-12. The team now travels to Stratford on Thursday to par- ticipate in the finals at Stratford Northwestern. Following the finals the team will participate in a WOSSA wrestling tournament in St. Thomas on February 20 and 21. • S O 00 oo • • • •• S. • • • BE A • BLOOD • DONOR e • •••••• 0 6 One slow, downhill run would aptly describe the Exeter Hawks season as they near the end of regulation play in the Western Junior D loop and begin preparations for the up- coming playoffs. Before Christmas, the Hawks were running a nine win and four loss record. It was after Christmas, when they went to Seaforth on Boxing Day that the roof started to fall in, as they dropped the game 6-3 to the Centennaires, On the second day of the new year they lost 8-1 to the Irish, then 6-3 to Port Stanley, who is one of the expansion teams. Seaforth bombed them 11-1 and finally on January 9 they tied Belmont 4-4. It was Terry Bourne's last game as coach, as he stepped down after that and Glen "Rocky" Wiese took over. In their twentieth game of the season, the ex-Mohawk made his debut and coached them to a 3-3 tie with Lucan. Finally on January 27. after over a month without a win, the Hawks beat the Mitchell Hawks 4-1. ' The Hawks are now gearing up for the playoffs. Every team in the eight team league is eligible for a playoff berth, because the Lambeth Flyers, originally scheduled to play withdrew from the league. So how will the Hawks fare in the playoffs? Despite that midseason slump they have come on to win four of their last five games, losing only to Mount Brydges. It was Mount Brydges first win of the year. They meet the Belmont Sunsets in the playoff's first round. There has been a perennial rivalry between the two teams, a rivalry that has gone in favor of first-place finishers Belmont this year. They have won three games and tied one, and they should get by the Hawks this year and eliminate them from contention because they and Lucan are the powerhouse teams in the league. In fact they will probably contest the final together, But playoffs are a funny thing, as most everyone knows, One team can look like dogs on the season and then come on and take everything, Three things could well change the Hawks playoff hopes, and could send them further on than the first round of playoffs. They have had a string of injuries, to key players like Steve Jennison and Rick and Fred Momtnersteeg, that has hampered them throughout the season was the key reason to the string of losses in January. Another important facet will be the return to form of goaltenders Randy Louie and Laurie Skinner, At one point the two led the league with the lowest goals against average, but have since slipped. A return to their previous form could well leave opponents blanked, or at least at a low score. The most important facet of the playoffs will be new coach Wiese. If he can turn the team around, which he shows every sign of doing, the picture could be different. An enthusiastic physically fit man, he may be the push that the Hawks need to overcome Belmont. r.
