The other four spots are still mathematically up for grabs and will be decided when the teams pick up some postponed events this week. With three straight wins to their credit this week, the Exeter Hawks are assured of a third place finish. A win in one of two remaining games with Clinton will give them second place and there is still a chance they could come out on top of the division. That will happen if the Hawks win both their games this week with Clin- ton, while the Seaforth Centenaires beat Brussels. The Hawks would also need a better goals -for -and -against record than the Bulls to finish on top.

In a Friday exhibition game, the Broncos lost 4-2 to Clinton. Sunday's game against Ridgetown turned into a wild and wooly affair. The Ridgetown manager and coach were both thrown out of the game in the third period. The visiting team took 16 of the 17 penalties called. The only call against the Broncos was a body contact penalty on Joel Campbell. Campbell led the Broncos in a scor- ing way with two successful shots and both came on unassisted efforts. He also picked up an assist. Sean McCann kept pace with Campbell with two scores. One came on a solo dash and the other on a pass from Paul Charrette.
