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 tending by Port Elgin's litte red- head, Brian Dunlop.

Then at 11:45 the fans went wild as the Ironnmen tied it up. It was one of those pretty goals as Bob Johnston blasted one from the.point and an alert Steve Caslick picked the, re- bound out of the air and rifled it into the net. At 13:13, yes lucky. old 13, the Ironmen took the lead. 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.

Marie, standing on the edge of the crease deflectedit into the net to give the Ironman a 4-3 lead.

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 tuned in more than once by a fan from the heated corner of the rink. In that first period Port Elgin gained their lead by out -hustling and out skating the Ironmen .. .

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 - Bradley Armstrong, David Harding, Brent Lockie, Kevin Armstrong, Kevin Ruttan, 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.
