Friday night in Exeter, represen- .tativcs from both teams as well as the Ontario Hockey Association :talked and talked to when and where the sixth and seventh games .of:the Southwestem Ontario Senior 'A' semi-final series should be played. While it, was :decided Game Six was to be played in Dunnville on Mondayin which the Mudcats won 5-4 in a long :grueling double - overtime contest, the game after that was the one of contention. It was first discussed it would be played on neutral ice but the Mo- hawks' brass quickly pointed out that Exeter had finished higher in the standings. Game Seven will be played Sat- urday in Exeter at 8:30 pan. "It's really _disconcerting but `it's not new. Me.play these guys every year, thisis the fourth year in a row and we go :through it every year," said Exeter coach Dave Revington. Mohawks 6, M The difference Prlday was Exeter goalie Rick Pikul who stopped 29 shots, i 1 of those in the second pe- riod. hi the first period, it looked as though the veteran netminder was struggling but he said there were just a couple of shots which took a funny bounce. "1 think it was the nature of the shots I had. The one long one was curving," he said. Two nights earlier in Dunnville, the short staffed Mohawks led 4-0 late in the.third period but lost and the Mudcats tied the series. Friday in Exeter, the Mohawks 5-1 lead Peewees now in semis EXETER - Back-to-back wins for the Exeter Legion peewees have gained that team a trip to the OMHA peewee 'CC' semi-finals.

"That's always in the back of your mind that the same thing is going to happen. They keep com- ing at you and coming at you. For- tttnately this game we had enough plllyers to come back," said Pikul of Friday's victory. A four minute penalty to Kevin McArter didn't seem to hurt the Mohawks as Greg Snyder bounced one off the boards to a racing Joe Scherer who went in on alone and beat Garnet Wilson with a short- handed tally. Pikul was sprawled on the ice when Shawn Vaudry tied it for the visitors but with 1:26 left in the opening frame Mohawks' defense - man Ron Elliott stepped in from the point and blasted one ice level. Exeter worked the puck around patiently and made it 3-1 on Rich- ard Hawkins' powerplay tally early in the second and just 16 seconds into the third, Tim Shields got his first of two in the period. While being hauled down, Snyd- er got the puck to Scherer who net- ted bis second of the night but Dunnville's Kevin Smith and Geno Lostracco made it closer. "We just took a time out so the guys could catch themselves and Barry on," said Revington. With 3:36 left in the game, Shields got his second when he shot the puck, it hit Wilson, bounced off him, hit Shields and went in. The Mudcats complained but the Mohawks had their third win of the series. This was your typical rough Exet- er -Dunnville game as Mudcats' Glen Czypek was knocked hard into two different comers and McArter was shaken up late in the rte. ' unnville's John Horten Who saw limited duty all game, jumped McArter from behind and was giv- en a match penalty. Mud Wednesday night in Dunnville, the Mohawks had a 4-0 lead with nine minutes left in the game but the few skaters they had at the game just ran out of gas. The hosts tied it up with less than a minute to play in regulation time and then won it in overtime. Shields had two goals and an as- sist on Wednesday while defense - men Jeff Warren and Elliott also scored. Blueliner Cory McKee had an assist. Double standards can't be right lirhe beetle of the sexes has no boundaries. Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King start- ed what rbecome a great debate of just whom is better at the sport of tennis, male or fe- male. This battle is not limited sim- ply to athletes but believe it or not, sports reporters. ' Last week, two female sports reporters• from the CBC, became quite upset that members of the St. John's Maple Leafs of the Amer- ican Hockey League, made certain indecent gestures towards them. Not to sound sexist, but any female who is permitted to go into a male dressing room should know it's going to happen. True, the players can tone it down a little, but unfortunately female sports re- porters should just grin and bear it. After a game, there are a lot of different emotions floating in the air. Players usually want to let off a little steam, have a beverage, slap each other on the back and sit back. They should be able to feel comfortable in the dressing room, af- terall, there are some pro hockey players who spend three or four hours before a game in the room and a couple after. It's almost like their second home. I have nothing against female sports reporters but if they go into a dressing room they should realize the atmosphere in the room is go- ing to be different. Face it, fpC ome hockey players, it is embarrassing to have a fe- male in the morn when they are naked. One year they can be in jun- ior hockey, where, to my knowledge there are few females who go into the locker room, to the next year when there may be several. Many people cover up embarrassment with a relaxed, joking style which to some, in this case the two CBC reporters, may be a cause to yell sexual harassment. Female reporters have every right to be in the dressing room along with their male colleagues. The male reporters are in there asking the questions, geuing the scoop on this and that so the fe- males should be allowed in as well. But there is just one thing I don't understand however? Why are male sports reporters not allowed into female athletes dressing rooms? 1 bet a female sports reporter can get access to a fe- male athletes dressing room. It's a reverse standard. On a weekly newspaper, such as the Times -Advocate, I often go into the Mohawks dressing room and yes, they are naked. Now if there was another newspaper in town with a female sports, reporter and we both wanted to go into the dressing room, would we both be allowed? Obviously the answer is no and therefore the players would have to come out in.the hallway to be interviewed. Just a note here, I in- terview all the players in the hallway. An athlete feels comfortable in their dressing room, becausess mentioned before, that's where they are the most comfortable. But for me, doing the interview in the hallway is just something that has become easier. The two CBC reporters are stating they have been sexual ha- rassed. I don't think they were. If a player had grabbed them, then yes perhaps that is sexual ha- rassment but this is different. Unfortunately male athletes, not all, but some, still feel female sports reporters have no place in this world never mind just a dress- ing room after the game, They feel they ddn't belon* y'y lvt d on the ice for two hou si1h �uann ww.so they i FtlteY�d be imiarviswed by men. Barbarbe riiik Sound, it's true. Lisa Olson of the Boston Herald asked a New England Patriots football player to meet her in the interview room, he refused and asked her to come to the locker mom if she wanted the story. The players made rude gestures to her, she wanted an apology and didn't get one. Olson's life became a nightmare, people sending letters, her tires slashed, spitting on her. Now that's harassment... Yes, we tell our daughters they can grow up and be whatever they want but unfortunately in 1993, there are still limitations and going into a locker room is one of them. For you athletes out there, when a female sports reporter asks you to come out into the hallway or into the media room, say yes, and do it willingly. Remember, compromise is a wonderful. thing. 0c- . -fir- gatlit-g -e - -tc '1 COUNTRT FLOWRS 'I i rain gird f • exater . 2ak• 200 SpringCraft Classes i C iILDRENS CLASSES 4 p.m. p" March 25 - Hair Accessories 41 April 1 - Fresh Bunny Arrangement /it April 15 - Wicker Bow and Cupid April 22 - Grapevine Cluster with Bird ADULT CLASSES 7 p.m. March 22 - Victorian Arrangement ,.�,.,., $45.00 to March 23 - Curly Twig Arch 05.00 March 24 - Triple Heart Valance -$40,00 Sr March 29 - Spring Silk Swag $30.00 March 30 - Silk Green Planter $40.00 March 31 - Raffia Swag $35.00 April 1 - Loop Wreath/Cupid $40.00 April 5 - Twisted Bark Hanger $35.00 April 6 - Fresh Easter Arrangement $35.00 S; April 12 - Double Heart Swag $35,00 April 14 - Victorian Lace Valance $35.00 CApril 15 - Large Arch $50.00 & up April 19 - Grapevine Coil $35.00 ft April 21 - Fresh Ivy in Coil $35.00 .
