The Zurich Buckeyes eliminated the Centralia Marauders in three straight games to reach the South Huron intermediate hockey league finals. After winning the first game of the best-of-five series a week earlier, the Buckeyes won a close 5-4 decision Wednesday and wrapped up the series with a 10-5 win Friday. The Buckeyes will now have a bit of a rest as they wait for the winner of the Exeter Mohawks an4, -Hensall Sherwoods series. Exeter leads two games to one with the fourth game set for Friday night. Seven straight Zurich goals late in the second period and through the third period provided Friday's victory after the Marauders were ahead 4-3 midway through the second session. The Centralia club, held a lead at the end of the first period on successful shots by captain Randy Somerville on an unassisted effort and Pete Glover on a three-way effort with Dennis Carty and Cec Nickles. The first period Zurich score was fired by captain John Graham with assists going to Ron Desjardine and Randy McKinnon. Each team scored twice in the first half of the second period• as the Marauders maintained their one goal margin. Rick Schilbe converted a pass from Ron Desjardine at the 50 second mark to even the score and Pat Bedard hit on passes from Mike Clarke and John Graham to put the Buckeyes in front 3-2. The Marauders quickly bounced back to regain the one goal lead as Dennis Carty steered in a pass from Cec Nickles and Mark Cronyn registered with the assist going to Randy Somerville. Before the second period ended, the Buckeyes scored three times and were on their way to victory. John Graham scored on a solo dash, Rick Schilbe converted a pass from Graham and Mark Cronyn scored from Randy Somerville. Four more Zurich scores came quickly in the third period. Ron Rader was a double scorer with assists going to Ron Desjardine, Randy McKinnon, Kevin McKinnon and Pete Postill. John Graham scored from Mike Clarke and Ron Desjardine hit on a three- way effort with John Graham and Randy McKinnon.

Havelock is near Peter- borough, Page 2A Times-Advocate, March, 26, MO. Sports Spotlight By ROSS tiAuGH Ontario Minor Hockey Association final playoffs open on three area fronts this coming weekend. In- volved are the Exeter midgets, the Ilderton midgets and the pee wees from. Lucan, The Exeter midget club who had little trouble in eliminating Tilbury in the semi-final round takes on Bradford for the provincial championship, The first game will be played at the South Huron Rec Centre Saturday night at 6 p,m. with the second contest going Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. in Bradford. Teams from Havelock, which is located near Peterborough will supply the opposition for both the Ilderton midgets and Lucan pee wees. The schedule works out quite well for the fans from Havelock as the games have been scheduled so they can attend all four games this weekend. The Lucan and pee wees square off in their first game of a best-of-seven series in Lucan Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. with the second tilt slated for Sun- day at 1 p.m.', also in Lucan. The midget games in Ilderton are scheduled for- Saturday evening at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. This gives Havelock supporters plenty of time to switch from the Lucan arena to the Ilderton ice palace to support their favorite team. Special recognition is being given to the,Lucan pee wees for their achievement in reaching the provincial finals before Saturday's first game against Havelock. A parade will form up at the south end of Lucan near the OPP station at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon and head up to the arena. Best of luck to all three area minor teams as they try to bring home trophies to prove they are best in their categories in the entire province. - Zurich tournament The second annual Zurich Minor Athletic Association novice hockey tournament will be held this Friday and Saturday at the Zurich Community Centre. Paul Morrison, president of the ZMAA says teams from Exeter, Hensall, Parkhill, Huron Park, Alma - Logan, Blyth, Mitchell and Zurich will be par- ticipating. Tourney action gets underway Friday night at 7 p.m. and resumes Saturday morning at 9 a.m. One of the features of the tournament is the ham and egg breakfast which will be served Saturday mor- ning from 8 a.m. until 12 noon. Nearing playoffs With only two weeks remaining in the regular schedule of the National Hockey League some real battles are shaping up for playoff positions. For five of the clubs it's a case of survival by fill- ing the last two playoff spots while the others are try- ing to increase their point totals for better home game advantages. As of Sunday night, nine teams had already clinch- ed playoff spots. They are Philadelphia, Buffalo, Mon- treal, Boston, Minnesota, Chicago, Islanders, Rangers and Atlanta. St. Louis, Toronto, Los Angeles, Hartford and Pittsburgh seem to be pretty safe in gaining a playoff spot while Detroit, Washington, Vancouver, Edmonton and Quebec are battling for the last two playoff positions. The Winnipeg Jets have already been mathematically eliminated and the same fate should hit the Colorado Rockies in the next few days. While the Philadelphia Flyers are almost a sure thing to win the overall league title, a real battle shapes up for second place between Boston, Buffalo and Montreal, At the moment only one point separates the three teams, but they are some 10 points behind the Flyers. Of the two NHL coaching changes announced over the weekend one was expected, but, the other was a real surprise. BobbyKromm's coaching days with the Red Wings appeared to be numbered for several months, but, the Boston decision to fire coach Freddy Creighton leaves many heads shaking for a real reason. The Bruins will finish at least fourth in the overall standing and if Creighton's dismissal is any indication, 17 other coaches should be shaking in their boots. Blue Jays promising We know that a few exhibition games do not a season make, but, the record to date of the Toronto Blue Jays in grapefruit baseball league play, to say the least is encouraging. Their best performance came Sunday as they defeated the Baltimore Orioles 7-4 and in doing so hit two of the Orioles top pitchers Jim Palmer and Tippy Martinez pretty well. The medium success of the Blue Jays has ap- parently not reached some of the Western Ontario media. Sunday evening, a CFPL television reporter said "the Blue Jays finally won one." Actually it was the sixth Toronto win in 10 starts. One of the predictions by Rick Bosetti at the 1980 Exeter Lions Sportsmen's dinner is appearing to come true. Bosetti told us the Blue Jays and himself in par- ticular would be trying to steal more bases. In their first 10 games, the Blue Jays have stolen 15 bases in 19 attempts. That's a very respectable average. If that percen- tage holds up throughout the season, the Blue Jays will be far from the worst team in major league baseball as they were last year. To date Alfredo Griffin, who led the Toronto club in steals last year and Bob Bailor have yet to be thrown out as they try to steal a base, in most cases se• cond base. Four of the Blue Jays top pitching hopes for good seasons shared Sunday's victory over the Orioles. They are Dave Steib, Phil Huffman, Jay Robertson and Jerry Garvin. The exhibition season record of the Orioles is all even at six Wins and the same number of defeats. semi-finals in three straight. reached the provincial championship round by eliminating Sirnithville in the games.
