The four points they picked up in the three encounters kept them in third place in Division Two of. the Central Junior "C" league. Despite their loss to the division leading Halms, the team is playing quite well of late and supporters are. hoping for a strong finish in the final three weeks of scheduled play. Clinton —4 Owen Sound —2 Last Tuesday, the Centennial Mustangs travelled north to meet the Owen Sound Salvagemen in what turned out to be a close -checking game. The Salvagemen used the same game -plan they have, tried against the Mustangs all year, which was to try to slow the pace of the match and force the Clinton players into mistakes. Clinton started slowly, and allowed the Owen Sound team -to score the fifst goal at 14:00 minutes of that period. It was the Salvagemen's captain, Doug McCloud who banged in the puck from a goal -mouth scramble in front of Clinton goalkeeper, Dean Ryan. . The Mustangs picked up the pace in the second frame and tallied three times, outshooting their opponents 21 to 8. Clinton hung on to their lead in the third and counted again on an unassisted effort by Randy Millar who was the outstanding player of the game. Newcomer, Henry Olechowski, replaced Dean Ryan in goal for the Mustangs in the final period and was very effective in stopping any Owen Sound at- tempt to stage a comeback. * • Clinton —8, Brantford — 4 11. 'was, another long road trip in' bad weather ler the Juniors to Brantford on Thursday evening for an 8 p.m. game. The team however, gave a fine account of themselves, playing their brand of fast moving hockey. Their play evoked praise and ad- miration from the Brantford players and fans. The. . Mustangs consistantly beat their opponents to the puck and their passing game was sharp from start to. finish. Clinton fore -checked the Brantford club into making several costly errors and even seemed to carry the play when shorthanded. Neil Colquhoun was the big gun for Clinton, with three goals and one asist. Brian Lane added two goals in what was an out- standing effort. Lane led the team in checking and playmaking and was an ef- fective hitter throughout the affair. Singles for the Mustangs were added by Jamie Thomp- son, Randy Millar, and Paul Kelly. New Hamburg — 5) Clinton —4 At home on Sunday evening last, it was again a small Clinton crowd that turned out to support the Mustangs. It was a strange sort of game with the two teams moving the -puck well, but making errors from time to time which caused the scoring plays for either side. Clinton started fast and led after the first'period by a score of 2-1 on goals by Barry Lane and Neil Colquhoun. However, in the second, the bv , defensive style which as it turned out, was their fatal error. The New. Hamburg team counted four unanswered goals in that period and led after two by- a score In the final period, Brian "Sly" - Kennedy subbing for ailing coach Bill Weber, rallied the Mustangs to a valiant comeback attempt. Clinton counted twice. in the third and fell short by only one goal in an exciting finish. Scoring for. the Mustangs in the last period were John lylommersteeg and Randy Millar. Playing a very steady game on defense for Clinton was John artiliti'm of Bayfield, who in his first year of Junior hockey has proved to be a welcome addition to the team. The Mustangs travel to Listowel for a game on Friday night- and this 'coming Sunday, the Listowel club will be here for a game at the Clinton Arena at 7:30 p.m. These two games will decide third place in the division and the team hopes to have some good fan support for Sunday's game. It would be a welcome change. JUNIOR HOCKEY QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Sure, I got lot,s of moves; I just can't remember where I left them" Randy Millar, (right. wing) — January 17, 75.
