THE OCTANE WAR
IS HEATING UP
OCTANE is going to be the battleground of the future,
with leaded fuel on its way out, octane is the main
component that differentiates one gasoline from another.
The introduction of Sunoco Gold in 1986 makes us number
one when it comes to octane, and blender plumps provide
the widest choice.
•Try Sunoco Gold and you'll get smoother, cleaner, more
fuel-efficient performance
•Older cars generally need more octane due to carbon
buildup.
•Today's cars generally have an increased appetitie for
octane to run efficiently with the features that are
quickly becoming standard [turbochargers, knock
sensors, fuel injection, computerized ignition, and so
on ]. Sunoco Gold is the highest octane gasoline available
in Canada.

Bulls in playoff hole
after 2 losses
The Brussels Jr D Bulls are
learning that the playoffs are
indeed a brand new season as they
find themselves down two games to
none to the sixth place Tavistock
Braves.
Friday night in Tavistock, Brus
sels lost a hard fought series
opener by a score of 6-4.
Brian Campbell opened the scor
ing midway through the first period
on passes from Marty Rutledge and
Ron Strome but Tavistock replied
less than a minute later and the
first period ended 1-1.
Tavistock took a 2-1 lead early in
the second before the Bulls power
play tied the score, as Tim Deel-
stra’s sharp angle shot from Steve
Fritz found the mark. The next two
goals went to Tavistock and the
Braves took a 4-2 lead to the
dressing room after two periods.
The Bulls powerplay quickly tied
the game, scoring twice early in the
third; Ron Strome from Kevin
Talsma and Marty Rutledge follow
ed by a Rutledge goal from Bob
McMillan and Mike Vincent. Tavis
tock scored the game winner with
8:42 left on the clock and sealed the
vfctory with an empty net goal at
19:53 for their 6-4 win. Jeff
McGavin faced 47 shots while the
Bulls fired 41 at the Tavistock goal.
Sunday afternoon in Brussels,
Tavistock used a third period rally
for a 7-5 come-from-behind victory.
The Brussels powerplay clicked
four times in the opening period as
the Bulls held a 4-3 lead after 20
minutes. After Tavistock opened
the scoring Kevin Talsma and
Steve Fritz combined to set up Bob
McMillan. Tavistock again took the
lead only to have Marty Rutledge
score on passes from Steve Fritz
and Brian Campbell. Again Tavis
tock went ahead and again the
Bulls replied as Bobby McMillan
and Brian Campbell each scored in
the last minute of play with Marty
Rutledge drawing assists on both
goals.
Steve Fritz scored on a goal
mouth scramble for the Bulls’ final
goal early in the second period and
a 5-3 lead. Tavistock closed the gap
to 5-4 by the end of the period and
stole the victory with two short-
handed goals in the third.
A goal with three minutes left in
the game ended any comeback
hopes and sent a happy Tavistock
team home with a well-earned 7-5
victory. Shots on goal were 28-23 in
favour of Brussels with Jeff McGa-
vin taking the loss.
The Bulls now have their backs
against the wall as they return to
Tavistock Friday night. Game 4 is
scheduled for Brussels Sunday
afternoon at 2 p.m. As well the
Bulls will be without much needed
muscle as Tim Deelstra was assess
ed a match penalty for spearing
Sunday afternoon.
On a brighter note, congratula
tions to Marty Rutledge on receiv
ing his leading scorer trophy at the
Jr D banquet held in Thamesford
Saturday night. As well Marty was
named the league’s Most Valuable
Player in a vote by rival coaches.
Doug Vincent was the winner of
the 50/50 draw while Sheila Smith
of Listowel won the $50 weekly
Bulls draw. Judy Mathers won the
$100 Bulls monthly draw.
