With the goalie at his mercy Steve% made a perfect move to draw the goalie out of his net and tucked the puck in behind him. It was .a beauty, and a type of goal not seen too often these days. So, after 20 Minutes of good playoff action the Iron nen had a com- manding. 4-i lead. It was only 57 seconds into the second period and Gerry Wheeler's third goal of the game shot the Ironmen ahead 5-1. Then the pace slowed somewhat as the Ironmen went into a defensive game and checked the Bears at every turn. -As the period drew to a close that Big ' Bad Bear, George Schamott, dented the twine to send the teams to the dressing room with the Ironmen ahead 5-2. The third period saw the Bears run out of steam as' the Ironmen cautiously protected their lead. An injury to Rick Foulon made coach George Skinn go with two defensive pairs and that strong blueline brigade gave the Bears problems supreme. At 5:51 Barry MacDonald picked offfa rebound and in a deceiving move flipped the puck high into the net. Port Elgin's Arnie Mittendorf got the final goal of the game at 7:24. • • D • • • • LYCEUM T H >E Anr IFIL SHOWING 7 BIG DAYS! • • • • • WED., MAR. 5 TO TUES., MARS 11th • • DAILY AT 7:00 AND 9:15 P.M. • •• AUDIENCES w • JUST DON'T /ill • SEE IT I •• •• •. • •THEY LOVE ITI •THEY CHEER IT I .

It was good clean hockey witli the Ironmen in more depth wear- ing down the Bears big guns, es- pecially captain Bob McKinnon, who saw a lot of ice time with few rests.

P Port Elgin bombs Ironmen by b-3 count to even series In Sunday •afternoon hockey action at the Port Elgin arena, before a crowd of mainly Iron- men supporters, the Port Elgin Bears evened the • best -of -seven series at three each. They humili- ated the Ironmen, defeating them 6-3. Port Elgin jumped into the lead • as Rick Greig set up linemate Brad Moffat at 3:53. Then . at 15:09, playing a man short, the same duo, Brad Moffat and Rick Greig, did the damage with Rick the marksman. However the Ironmyen finally got on the score sheet at' 16:51 when Murray Black threw a pass through the crease and Steve Caslick fired it home. After the first 20 minutes the Ironmen were very lucky to be down only one with the score 2-1 for the Bears. The second period belonged to the Bears and to the Bears alone. In the first two minutes of the period two quick goals, one by ,Murray Cobean and the other by Rick Johnson, sent the Bears into a 4-1 Lead. At every turn the Bears out - skated, outhit and but -hustled the Ironmen. They had enthusiasm and desire for victory. At the mid mark of the period the Bears add= ed insult to injury as they shamed the Ironmen by scoring two goals in less 'than two minutes. What really hurt was that both of the goals, one by Brad Moffat and the other by Arnie Mittendorf, came while. the Bears were playing a man short and the only power the Ironmen power' play produced added to the Bears' goal total. The only few seconds of Iron - men action in that second period was the solo end-to-end rush made by Murray. McKague at 16:26 to give the Ironmen their only goal of the period. They found themselves on the short end of a 6-2 score at. the end of the second. It was only in the third that the Ironmen played as they can play, but it was too little, too late and Murray Black flipped one in at 3:47 for the final goal of the game. Yes the Bears with this 6-3 win are very much alive. With the MR. AND MRS. JOHN IiALPENNY and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Davis won third place in the Ministry of Natural Resources District Curling Bonspiel Saturday, Mr. Ha'penny is the deputy regional director for the Ministry. series all tied up the best -of -7 now is down to a do-or-die final seventh game. WHISTLE STOPS ...It was a bad Sunday for the Ironmen. The strategy which had won last Sun- day's game was anything but ef- fectivin this 6-3 loss. No one was skatingor hitting. The two Iron - pear to be more liability than asset. The only Ironmen showing any spark was Murray McKague and that solo goal effort was a beauty. It is rather humiliating to have your power play give up three goals to the opposition as happened in this one. Any kind of a power play by the Ironmen could have meant victory, but they just didn't have it. The Bears were certainly hitting. They played it rough and picked up 43 minutes in penalties while Ironmen sat out 21 minutes... The Ironmen kept the big gun, Bears captain Bob McKinnon, in check but it was that pair, Brad Moffat and Rick Greig, who were sharp in this game. Brad picked up two goals and an assist while linemate Rick scored one and as- sisted on two. After six games the series is all tied up at 3 each. The victor in the next game advances against the winner of the Arthur-Wiarton series, which -presently stands at 3 games to 2 for Arthur.
