Stangs undefeated
By Bryan
Marriage
The Clinton Mustangs,
currently the only un-
defeated team in the OHA
Junior "C" Central
Division, narrowly
escaped with a victory
last Friday night in
Goderich. The Stangs
scored a powerplay goal
at 19.26 of the third period
to defeat Arthur Eagles
10-9.
In the opening period,
the Stangs got off to their
best start this season with
five goals in the first
three minutes of play and
one goal in the last
minute of play. Tim
MacLean scored a hat
trick in the first period
and other marksmen for
the Stangs were Gary
Peters, Phil Arthur and
Paul Priestap. Arthur
replied with three goals
of their own in the first
period.

The second period was
very scrambly as Arthur
scored a pair of power-
play goals, to move
within one goal of the
Stangs before Tim
MacLean took the heat
off with a powerplay goal,
his fourth goal of the
night.
Arthur came out flying
in the third period and
scored three fast goals
before the fourth minute
mark to put them ahead
by one. Neil Colquhoun
tied the score, three
minutes later only to
have Arthur go ahead
once again on a power-
play.
John Hart evened the
score at nine goals each
midway through the
period. The teams battled
back and forth for the
balance of the period,
before Arthur took a
tripping penalty in the
last two minutes of the
Lost in the bush! It's a terrible gut sinking
feeling, but it can happen to anyone. For-
tunately, it usually becomes "turned around'
and the victim finds their way out successfully
turning a possible tragedy into simply lost time.
Since I spend a good deal of time in the bush,
it probably happens to me considerably more
often than it does to the average person. Even
well known landmarks, when approached from
the wrong direction, and popping up unex-
pectedly can be totally unrecognizable. It is for
this reason, that I carry a good compass with me
in the bush, and refer to it quite regularly.
It is estimated that the compass was invented
by the Chinese in about 2500 B.C. when they
discovered that when a certain ore (magnetite)
was placed on a sliver of wood and floated in a
bowl of water, one end of the wooden stick would
always point south: From this crude beginning,
the modern day compass was developed into a
reliable accurate and rugged instrument.
When purchasing a compass, it definitely pays
to look around and examine different makes and
varieties before picking one to suit your needs. I
personally have used a Silva Ranger compass
for about 15 years and swear by it. The Ranger is
probably the most popular compass used
professionally by people in the north, as it has
always had a good reputation for reliability and
ruggedness. The major drawback is the price
which runs somewhere in the neighbourhood. of
$30.
For the casual user, this is, of course, quite
expensive; however, there is a broad range of
prices in the Silva line with their pin on model
being an excellent choice at about $10. Whatever
your choice, however, don't buy a cheap com-
pass. A good one will last you a lifetime and
believe me, it's pretty easy to convince yourself
that the compass is wrong when it's a $2. special
and you need it most.

for the winning goal on a
well executed powerplay

date is four wins and two
ties, The Stangs travelled
to Hanover on Tuesday
evening and a victory in
that game would ensure
them of second place and
when they catch up on
their cancelled games,
chances are they could be

they should be.
The Mustangs travel to

night, to battle the
Kinucks at 8:30. This will
undoubtedly be their
toughest challenge to
date, since upsetting the
Kinucks previously 9-5 on

Arena open
Nobody wants to see
the Tiverton arena closed
over the winter months.
This was clearly evident
last week when the
Kincardine News
reported that over 60
local people volunteered
their time and labor to
make the necessary
repairs to the structure.
Repairs totalling $3,000
were made. With this, the
ministry of labor will
allow the arena to be used
over the winter. The
ministry earlier
demanded the repairs be
made to make it safe for
the snow load levels.
With the repairs, the
