Clintonis Junior "C"
centennial Mustangs won
both ganaea in a weekend
home ,and home series with
.the tough Listowel Cyclones.
The teams entered the series
tied for third place in the
Central Junior "C" league,
division two, but as a result
of the brilliant team effort
displayed by the Mustangs
• they are now alone in third
and a mere five points out of
first.
Clinton's successful
weekend tightens 'the race
for position in the league as
the season draws to a close..
There, are five games left in
the regular season and it
looks as though Clinton will
be in fine shape when the
playoffs begin in three
weeks.

Listowel only nine shots, on
net in the ,last 40 mih'itc s
while checking closely and,'
waiting ter a break to add to
their scoring total. There
were approximately 500
boisterous Listowel fans
crowded into their small
arena and to see their jaws
drop to the floor at the end
of the game made victory
that much sweete,.
Scoring the other two goals
for 'the Mustangs were Mike
Anstett and Dan Colquhoun.
The nod for .game must go to
the entire Clinton defense. J.
C. Graham, Jamie Thom-
pson, Zeke Fremlin and Bill
Irwin all played steady,
heads -up hockey throughout
the game and their per-
formance complimented the
forwards in a well -executed
team effort.
Clinton - 5,
Listowel - 3
The Mustangs travelled to
Listowel on Friday night to
begin the eight points series
that would pretty well decide
position in the league near
the end of the regular
season. As usual, the
Cyclones came out hitting,
roughing it up and trying to
intimidate the faster Clinton
players. But the Mustangs
had come to win and clicked
at the 5:37 mark of the first
period on a goal by Randy
Millar from Steve Cook and
Jamie Thompson. Paul Kelly
made it 2-0 for Clinton three
minutes later set up by Mike
Anstett and Brian Kennedy.
The teams traded goals late
in the period, Millar scoring
again for the Mustangs and
Dave Dubrick tallying for
Listowel.
The next two periods
featured a brilliant display
of defensive hockey by the
Clinton Club. They allowed
a5
Listowel began to settle
do*n in the second and
bombarded Clinton
goalkeeper Dean Ryan with
17 shots in that frame. Dean,
however, was equal to the
task allowing only one goal
in the second while making
somne excellent saves.
The final period belonged
to the Mustangs " as they
scored four - times to only
once for Listowel. They
checked and skated, well,
putting together another fine
team effort, completely
outclassing the Cyclones and
taking all four points in this
important series.
Other Clinton goals were
scored by Dan Colquhoun,
Randy Millar, Bill Irwin and
Brian Lane who counted
twice in an excellent effort.
The way the Mustangs are
playing together as a team is
showing in their record.
They have won six out of
their last seven games and
have the best goals against
average in their division,
that being 3.68 goals per
game, which is very
respectable in any Junior
league.
The Mustangs next home
game is ori Friday, Feb, 7 at
8:30 p.m. See you there.

Clinton - 6,
Listowel - 2
On Sunday evening,
Listowel entered the Clinton
Community Arena with.
revenge in their eyes, for
they are rarely beaten at
home the way the Mustangs
beat them in the first game
of the home and home
series. It had to be one of the
best crowds of the year who
cheered the Clinton team in
a fast and exciting game. It
was certainly very nice to
see such a good turnout at
the game and the team
sends out their appreciation
to those who attended.
Clinton again refused to be
intimidated by the rough
tactics of the Cyclones and
struck quickly with Brian
Kennedy. scoring at :21
seconds, of the first period,
assisted b' Paul Kelly. They
added another goal a • minute
later and then checked the
Listowel club effectively for
the remainder of the first.

"Old timers" are ready
The Town of Clinton will

Goderich Signal -Star "Paper

Thursday night during

judging by the sparkling

Last Thursday January 23,
the Stratford Northwestern
.Huskies handed the Senia
Redmen their first lost in
league action, by downing
the Redmen by a score of 63=
46,,, This victory boosted
Northwestern's record to 3-0,
while the Redmen slipped to
a 3-1 mark.
The Huskies demonstrated
a sharp shooting offence, led
by Doug Schippling, who
almost sank every shot he
attempted. They also shov ed
the Redmen a zone defence
which completely frustrated
the Redmen offensive at-
tack, as they blocked shot
after shot and forced the
Redmen into making bad
plays.
But the Redmen squad
never lacked hustle the
entire game, but the breaks
never appeared to go their
way. Shots would hit the rim
and then bounce back out,
and rebounds seemed tc go
right over their heads when
they had good position. Even
when they did get an of-
fensive rebound, the Huskies
with their intimidation,
forced them into missing the
easy ,baskets.
Jim Jewson led the Cen-
tral Huron scoring attack by
Scoring 21 points. Larry
Carter also added 14 points.
Doug Schippling with 27
points provided most X°of the
offensive punch for the
Huskies, while Nathan Carey
scored. 10 points.

William Cox in goal; a man
with proven speed.
Also on the star-studded
Clinton roster are such fear
invoking names such as
Wayne '`Torch" McFadden,
Jimmy "the Hammer"
Strong, Danny Colquhoun,
Dori Bartliff, Bruce "the
line" Schoenhals, and Jim
"Scoop" Fitzgerald, who
once scared off a fly.
The action in this mighty
contest gets underway at
7:30 p.m. next Thursday
night at the Clinton arena,
. and may only last for a few
minutes, depending on how
sadistic the referee is.
