'The Clinton team and New Hamburg team are currently tied in points with 52 each, but Clinton has a game in hand if necessary, and would finish second automatically due to their record of wins and losses with New Hamburg. During the six times •the teams met this season, Clinton had three wins one loss and two ties. In last Friday nights game against Walkerton, leading scorers Robbie Heard and Randy Millar set the pace for the Stangs with hat trick performances. Single goals were fired by Don Granstien and Pete Thompson. The teams were tied at one apiece after the first period and again at three goals each after the second period. A major penalty to Walkerton's Tim Moran early in the third period enabled the Stangs to fire three power- play goals early in the period. The Stangs outshot their opponents by a margin of 58- 30 throughout the game. Jurgen Hellman had 27 saves for the victory. On Sunday night, the Hahns came to town to battle the Mustangs for that all im- portant second place.

The Hahns tied the game in the last minute of play in the first period and went ahead early in the second period.
