The win put Goderich back in the series, trailing 2-1 in the best -off -five playoff, but Saturday, in Strathroy, the Legionnaires ran out of gas in the third period and lost the deciding game of the series, 5-3.

The Legionnaires were outscored 3-1 in that period, finding the effects of the gruelling backPto-back games and some questionable refereeing a little more than they could handle. There was Tattle doubt here Friday as to which was the better team that night. The Legionnaires played inspired hockey and pressured Strathroy into mistakes in both ends of the rink. "Everybody did his job," said coach Dick Madge, who handled the team in the absence of Larry Jeffrey, "Every line we put out there checked well and carried the play. The defence was outstanding and goalie Te. Bean was as 3te a as..a rock. The kids were really up for this one The Legionnaires drew first blood when defenceman Scott Stokes moved is slow caught the far. d e of the left boards and , ,.�.rn..r the net with: his shot. Brent Williamson and Chris Sideris who was up from the Ban- tams and played a strong game, drew assists on the play. Goderieh grabbed a 2.0 lead with less than two minutes left in the period when winger Doug Smith scored on a play with Daryl Madge and Brent Williamson. Strathroy got one back just 37 seconds into the second period off the stick of Jim Vanderheyden, but the Goderich boys delighted the large hometown crowd on hand by scoring three more before the period ended. Trevor Erb, in his first game back since a knee injury, pulled the trigger on both of them. Daryl Madge and Peter Willems assisted on the first one and Willems and John Thompson helped set up the other. The action was fast and furious in the scoreless third period as both teams ran into a rash of minor penalties, but Goderich was able to check the usually potent Strathroy attack to a standstill.
