Stratford Burtols, although they are listed at the bottom of • the OHA Junior B's six• team central division, have been making a strong comeback re- cently. In their last four out. ings, they have not lost a game. Their record for •that series was three wins and a tie. Improved performance by Stratford's Junior B club has been attributed, in large meas. ure, to their latest coach, A.L, Murray.

CAMERA CASE 39.00 43.95 s38.�5 PQLAROID SWINGER REG. 24.95 51 9.95 Sports Scene By Sandy MacDonald A highlight of NHI, games. the selection of three stars after each hockey match; has been • introduced at Goderich 'Memorial Arena for Jtniior B hockey. Spectators may, or may not have noticed, that a three -,star selection was made at the last two Junior B games here, just after the final period. A week ago Friday, when the NHL custom of naming the stars of each game was introduced here, two ,Goderich ladies, Mrs. Williamson : and _Mrs. Jim Wilkinson, both enthusiastic Junior B hockey fans, named the stars. They chose two from the Siftos, Mayo Paquette, a forward, and Robbie Kellestine, •the goalie.. From the Leamington Flyers' team, they chose their • goalkeeper. At last Friday night's game between the Siftos and their visitors, the St. Marys Lincolns, Richard Madge, publicity dire ector for .the Goderich Junior B Booster Club, named the three stars. Richard had made his selections and Clem Wolterbeek, who handles the PA system at the Goderich arena, was just about to announce them names when the amplifying system was, shut off from the control room upstairs adjacent to the auditorium. Clem tried desparatelY to signal the operator in the control _room but with no results. The power stayed off. However, most of the fans had already left the arena.• Since then, the names of the three Goderich Junior B players, who were the three stars of Friday night's game with St. Marys, were obtained from Richard Madge. Tom Williams, No, 14, who plays right-wing, was Richard's first choice for an obvious reason. Tom led the Siftos to victory by scoring four of his team's total of eight goals. Cam Colquhoun, No. 9, who handles a left-wing post on a line composed of himself, Hank Scott, No 15, at right wing and centre Owen Freemen, No. 10, was given star rating also. In Choosing Cam,- publicity director' Madge said Colquhoun best exemplified the close -checking of the Siftos. A Sifto defenceman, Jim Gratto, received the third star award. Jtm, No, 4, scored one of Siftos' goals but it was not that alone that entitled him to be chosen as a star. -- "The Sifto defence was solid all the way through," said Madge, "but Jim was really doing an outstanding job of moving that puck out of our end." , Wondering how this three -star selection got started here? Would you believe that the Signal -Star publisher had' a part in it? You will when you hear this announcement at future JuuLul- B hockey matches in the Goderich arena: "The three Signal -Stars of tonight's game, as' chosen by — are: -- , — and --". This is, to use a TV term, "the way it is." Signal_ Star publisher R. G. Shrier, after prolonged badgering from his sports columnist, agreed that outstanding performance by a Goderich Junior B hockey player during a particular game deserved recognition. • "Recognition should not end merely at commending a player," it was pointed out to the Signal -Star publisher, The 'attack was followed up with the suggestion that a reward should accompany the honour of being chosen a 'star. "Yes," another enthusiastic Junior •B fan, obviously spotting a chink opening in the publisher's armour, added, "Each of the. stars chosen should be given a dollar each time he makes the honours list." The author of this suggestion was himself rewarded with a dark, threatening look from the publisher. _ N.OW_ watt a minute! Who do yeti think I am? ... Lord —? R. G. left the rest of the title dangling. • At any rate, his protest came too late. A clamour of voices in -:the editorial department heartily endorsed- a Signal -Star policy of awarding "a dollar per star per game" to the Siftos Publisher Shrier, after 'supporting the idea in principle, could not very well withhold a monetary reward. And so, we are pleased to announce the birth of a system of recognition which, as fans, we also hope will act as a bonus Incentive to faster and better play from the local squad. One more detail about . nue thre.c�--scar award policy:. Sifto players will not receive their awards t ptil thrd!tt ''ortil 1967-68" season. A record of the three star selections for each game will bekept-on file here, At the end of the regularly scheduled--gantes,. the Siftos will, receive their Signal -Star awards by cheque. '''"A crowd of only slightly more than 400 watched Friday night as the Siftos .scored 'an upset victory over the league leading St, Marys Junior B team. This attendance figure compares most unfavourably with the 1,300 fans who were present for the Siftos' out -df -town game With the Sarnia Legionnaires last week. The Sarnia arena'`reg• ularly draws crowds numbering more than 1,500 for their Junior B matches. - It's unfair to contrast attendance figures for Junior B hockey at the local arena _with the number who attend Sarnia Junior B games without reminding ourselves that Goderich is a town whose population numbers only 6,700 as 'compared with Sarnia's which is over 25,000. Yet we must face the reality that the cost of 'maintaining a. Junior W club for centres will run approximately equal. Goderich can, as it has proven in the past, support a Junior B hockey club here. Local and area fans have come to°expect this fast, exciting brand of hockey at the Goderich arena but it's up to them to prove they enjoy it by attending the Siftos' home games whenever possible. This year's edition of the ,Siftos promises to be one of the top contenders in,the 1967-68 OHA Junior B league. They are now in second plae in the central division with five wins and three losses as compared with St. Marys, the first place team, which has six wins, five losses and one tie.

Siftos gained early control of Friday's game against St. Marys by grabbing a strong first.period lead. By 13:33 of the opening stanza, Siftos had tudked away four goals to give them a CQ m. manding lead over theLincolns. Tom Williams, No.14, a right. winger who plays on .a line opposite, • left-winger Ken Mac= Nair, r1tlo..8, and Mayo Pa. quette, No. 7, was the big gun for the Siftos Friday night. The four goals scored byTom accounted for half the team's scoring and brought the former Windsor juvenile star's season ,production to '10. Singles, by MacNair d Pa. quette brought this line's production of goals for Friday night's game to six. MacNair opened the scoring at 1:14 followed by a goal from Paquette only three minutes later.
