in the first game of the best of

• The first period saw lots of good
playoff hockey with good goal
tending at both ends. Port Elgin,
with the power play moving the
puck well in the Ironmen end, hit
the score sheet at 16:07 with
Arnie Mittendorf the marksman
and the assist going to Murray
Cobeane Then a little over a
minute later it was a two goal
lead for Port with Jim Shrider
shovelling one into the corner of
the net.
The Ironmen hit the ice -in the
second, down two, and time and
time again they were sent backfin
utter frustration by superb goal

Once again it was a power play
effort as the Ironmen moved the
puck into the Bears' end. On
quick passes, Gerry Wheeler to
Graham Hamilton to Doug
Leitch, and Doug who was just
inside the blueline, directly in
front of the net drilled one '
through leggy galore into the
corner of the net. Those Bears
kept skating and as the period
was drawing to a close got a big
goal at 18:57. It was the result of a
fine rush fern end to end by their
"Little Bear", George Schmott,
who despite being upended with
all the appearance of a ton of
bricks hitting the ice, managed to
thread the puck to Rick Greig
who flipped tit into the upper
corner of the net to sena the
teams into the dressing room
after two periods with a ;-3 tie.

to be applying full pressure. At
3:13 (there's that 13 again) the'
Ironmen got what proved to be
the winner when Steve Caslick
fed the pUck to Mark Chisholin at
the point and Mark let one go at

standing on the edge of the crease
deflectedit into the net to give the
Ironman a 4-3 lead. Doug Deitch
with a g000back-hand shot from

ance marker and Barry O'Krafka
added a little frosting to the
victory cake with a power play
goal as the clock read 13 minutes
(there's that 13 again).
And it was a very weary pack
of Bears from Port Elgin that
skated from the ice having blown
a two -goal lead and losing this
first game of the playoffs 6-3 to
the local Ironmen.
WHISTLE STOPS — There's
nothing like playoff hockey to
bring out full effort from both
teams as was seen in this game.
The goal tending was terrific with
Port's Brian Dunlop looking
rather outstanding, especially in
the early stages of the game.
Ironmen goalie Bennie Blackwell
made several big key saves,
especially in the middle period...
Three officials on hand for this
game which was kept under strict
control although the referee was

Thirty-six entries
Four groups over two weekends
for Midget hockey tourney here
The 11th annual Wingham Mid-
get Hockey Tournament, featur-‘
ing one U.S. and 35 Ontario
teams, will be held over two four-
day weekends in March this year
with champions to be decided in
"AAA",1,At,, ''B" and "CT, cat-
egories.
One of the premiere Midget
hockey tournaments held in On-
tario, the Wingham event kicks
off March 14 through 17, with
eight entries in both categories
"A" and "C". The final weekend,
March 20 to 23, features eight
"B" entries and ten "AMC
clubs, including Detroit, the lone
U.S. entry.
The radio and television town
oaf Canada, home of Station
CKNX, comes alive each March
during the annual tournament.
The winter tranquility of a town
of 3,000 changes- drastically as
local residents gear up to host an
influx of approximately 400 play-
ers, coaches, managers, officials,
parents, and their fans each
weekend.
While the town council, mer-
chants and residents combine ef-
forts to provide a continuing pro-
gram of activities for the visiting
players between games, the
tournament committee has been
hard at work since the closing
days of last year's effort.
Increased sanction fees impos-
ed by the OMHA in 1974 virtually
eliminated U.S. entries, and is
the case again this year. Despite
the blow, the Wingham tourney
has nailed down top flight "AAA"
entries'"from London, Kitchener,
Owen Sound, Orillia, "Oshawa,
Richmond Hill, Barrie, Waterloo,
Leamington and Detroit. •
Comprising the "A" category
are teams from Merriton, Salt -
fleet, Oakville, Elmira, Alliston,
Orangeville, Hespel,er (Cam-
bridge) and Kitchener. "B" en-
tries are from Meaford, Walker-
ton, Kincardine, Amherstburg,
Exeter, Niagara -on -the -Lake, St.
Marys and Strathroy. Headlining
the "C" category are Dresden,
Clinton, Lucan, Belle River, Bel-
mont, Howick, Harriston, and
Wingham.
Tournament Chairman Allan
Harrison, a Wingham town coun-
cillor, and his committee of more
than 15 persons are confident this
year's event will produce more
excellent calibre hockey as was
the case last year. Some mem-
bers of this year's Wrigley's Na-
tional Midget Championship Bar-
rie Co-op team performed in the
Wingham tournament last year,
and more than ten 1974 grads of
the Wingham tourney are now
playing OHA Jr. B hockey.
While negotiations are still well
underway for additional ac-
tivities for the visiting players
between games, some of the
HOWICK TYKE CHAMPS—Ho'wick East won their Tyke League championship this
season, winning all of their eight games. Team members from left to right are: front row -

Wayne Mann; second row - Greg Gibson, Jeff Wilson, Jeff Robinson, Jeff Sanburn, Mark
Armstrong, Andrew Martin, Dean Sanburn; back - Jack Ruttan, manager; John Arm-
strong, coach. ( Staff Photo)
items being worked on are tours
through industries of the town,
and a drop-in centre at the Wing -
ham Armouries.
Dozens of Wingham families
will open their homes to billet
players and a hearty full course
ineal will be served all players
each day at noon.
Wingham is easily reached
from major centres via -High-
ways 21 and 4 from the south,
Highways 401 and 86 from the
southeast, and Highways 9 and 89
from the east. It is 70 miles north
of London and about 55 miles
northwest of Kitchener.
Hospitality for
visiting players
Through the excellento-
operation of the Wingham Senior
Citizens, the Armouries will be
open during the afternoons and
early evenings as a hospitality
centre for dozens of visiting hoc-
key players during the 11th -an-
nual Wingham Midget Hockey
Tournament in March.
Many of the entries inthis
year's tournament will be from
distant Ontario communities and
the boys will be billetted in local
homes overnight. In an effort to
provide some additional hos-
pitality, the Midget „ Hockey
Tournament Committee has been
fortunate to obtain the Armouries
through the co-operation of
Senior Citizens' President Reu-
ben Appleby and his executive.
Both visiting players and team
officials will be able to visit the
Armouries between games for
refreshments and to play pool,
shuffleboard, cards, etc.
The Armouries will be staffed
and supervised at all times by a
number of local Secondary
School teachers and members of
Brophy's °Slow Pitch ball team.
The tournament committee is
most appreciative of the recep-
tion and co-operation afforded
them by the Senior Citizens and
feels the hospitality centre will be
an excellent addition to this
year's Midget Hockey Tourna-
ment.
COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
Isabel Burke bowled the high
single of 244 at last week's ses-
sion; Shirley Zimmer chalked up
the high triple, a 572. For the
guys, it was Lou Readman who
came up with a nice 308 single
and Rod Hickeycharging
through with a 683 triple.
Hickey's Hyenas need to be put
in their place; they're up to 106
and still going strong. In second
place are Readman's Rhinos with
92 and they are followed by three
teams fighting a battle of their
own, Taylor's Tigers at 62;
Pegg's Possums at 61 and
Burke's Bears 60. Hatt's Otters
have 33, as O'Hagan and his bud-
dy otters seem ' to have floated
south until spring.
Thanks to spares, Connie Iiiick-
ey, Stephen Burke and Barry
