Sports spotlight Could wind up series tonight Mohawks take commanding three game The Exeter Mohawks have taken a comm nding three game lead in the Ontario Hockey Association ,In- termediate 'C' final series with the New Hamburg Towers. The Mohawks won the first game on home ice Wednesday by a score of 11-5, took a 9-2 decision in New Ham- burg Friday and won again in Exeter, Sunday. The fourth game goes tonight, Wednesday in New Hamburg with a fifth game if necessary at the South Huron Rec Centre, Friday night. The next opposition for the Mohawks if they oust New Hamburg will come from Creemore and that series could start this weekend, In the southern division, Dresden leads Wallaceburg three games to one and Port Stanley and Alvinston are tied at two games apiece. Penalties Galore Sunday's 5-1 win for the Mohawks was marred by an almost continuous parade of penalties especially in the first two periods. Mohawks goalfe Louie Arts did not allow any goals, but, he is not credited • with a shutout. That's because of a very unusual play which resulted in the only goal for New Hamburg. Early in the first period, referee Hugh Devin was calling a delayed penalty on Bruce Yantzi of New Ham- burg. But, before a Towers player touched the puck to get a whistle Dale Gibbon of the Mohawks from behind the net passed the puck towards the blue line. Instead of reaching an Exeter point man it went between two and down the ice into the local goal which had been vacated for a sixth attacker. The goal was given to Yantzi who was also penalized. The Mohawks scoring attack was paced by captain Randy Kraul with three successful shots. Kraut tied the score at 1-1 at 6.09 of the first period "and only moments later came close with a shot off the goal post. What proved to be the winning goal was notched by Cam Doig as he sneaked the puck into the New Ham- burg net from the side • with Brian Mercer and Randy Kraut assisting at the halfway mark. A SMALL MIXUP — Jim Benn of the Mohawks and Bruce Yantzi of New Hamburg confront each other in front of the net in Sunday's game in Exeter. Other Mohawks in the picture are Kris Bedard and Cam Doig. T -A photo Exeter Minor Hockey Association Annual Meeting Monday, March 24 8 p.m. South Huron Rec Centre All parents and coaches please plan to attend The second session was only a minute old when Brian Campbell tallied as he used Dale Gibbon as a decoy and hit the short side of the net. Mike Clark also assisted. Exeter captian Kraul made it 4-1 at 4.51 on a blazing slap shot from the left point on passes from Kris Bedard and Cam Doig and near 15 minutes he roamed in alone to score with a crisp shot. That completed the game scoring. Good Second Period In New Hamburg Friday, the Mohawks broke the game wide open with six second period goals: Rick Pikul back in the Exeter goal for the first time in five weeks was in top form and kept the Towers at bay until the Mohawks scoring machine slipped into high gear. Coach Jack Chipchase got a good offensive effort from all three lines with Brian Campbell and Cam Doig starring. The Exeter defensive corps was thinned when Steve Prout went out for fighting in the second period and Jim Guenther'suffered a mild concussion when he was tripped and Tell heavily backwards into the boards. The Mohawks scored the only two goals of the first period when Brian Campbell completed a three-way passing combination with Mark Cronyn and Dale Gibbon and Brian Mercer registered on a solo effort. The Exeter lead went to 6-0 quick- ly in the first seven minutes of the middle frame. Cam Doig fired two of the soeedv shots with Randy Kraut, Brian Campbell, Jim Benn and Ron Elliott assisting. Jim Guenther scored on an unassisted effort and Bill Glover hit on passes from Cam Doig and Jim Bennon a power play. Before 40 minutes had elapsed Brian Campbell and Pete Tuckey hit for the Mohawks on passes from Jim perm, Ron Elliott, Dale Gibbon and Steve Prout while Steve Cole and Brad Snyder replied for New Hamburg. The only score of the third period came from the stick of Kris Bedard with assists going to Mdrk Cronyn and Ron Elliott. In Wednesday's first game of the series, the Mohawks came out flying and scored three times in the first 10 minutes. They dominated play so much that the New Hamburg coach called for a measurement of Mike Clark's stick right after the third Ex- eter goal in an attempt to slow down the Exeter club. The first two Exeter goals came as the result of persisent forechecking. At 3.26 Dale Gibbon stole the puck behind the New Hamburg net and MILES FORD SALES Beat the Tax Increase Take Delivery by March 31, 1986 WE WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD We will better any interest or discounts being offered by our competition.

On a similar play less than two "minutes later, Brian Campbell notch- ed the second goal for the Mohawks. In the next three minutes Mohawks goalie Louis Arts came up with two stellar stops. He robbed Brad Stere from in close and grabbed a blazing blue line shot from the stick of Rick Cressman. At 10.40 of the period, Brian Camp- bell took a perfect pass from Ron Elliott and deked NH goalie Rick Baechler out of position to put the Ex- eter club in front 3-0. This goal was followed by the stick measurement which was successful and Mike Clark was penalized. The Mohawks held off the Towers on this power play, but, a following penalty to Ron Elliott resulted in the first goal for the visitors as Joe Schere took a Creemore would be next lead in final piss from his goalie and went the length of the ice to fire a high driving shot past Arts. The fourth Mohawks score came on another steal. Brian Campbell was again the instigator. He passed to Jim Guenther who in turn relayed to Mike Clark for a score. Only 21 seconds after Clark's goal, Dave Murphy scored for New Ham- burg. With less than two minutes re- maining Brian Mercer notched the fifth Exeter goal with a blast that hit the inside of the goal post and bounc- ed in. • The second period also produced a quick start for the Mohawks. At 31 seconds Cam Doig scored on a screen- ed shot on passes from Bill Glover and Jim Benn. This brought about a change in flew Hamburg goalies as Tom Boehler came on.
