Lose to Mustangs, beat Bears Ironmen salvage a split in weekend hockey action By Peter Bauer The Wingham Ironmen salvaged a 'split in their weekend action by rebounding ° defedt' Port Elgin Bears 6-3 on Sunday afternoon after dropping. an important game against the Mustangs at Clinton Friday night by a 7-2 margin. In the game against Clinton, the Ironmen left their Skating legs at home as the Mustangs swarmed around Pat Chambers and the Wingham goal. Before the 'smoke had cleared the Mustangs had fired 55 shots at Chambers, of which he stopped 48. Even though Clinton had a wide edge in shots on goal, the score remained close as the clubs emerged from the •first period tied 1-1 and from the second with Clinton leading by a slim 3-2 margin. The Mustangs scored early , in the third to make it 4-2 and shortly afterward . the Ironmen had a goal taken away as' the referee At first allowed the goal and then changed' his mind after conferring with the linesmen. Late in the period the Mustangs scored three goals within a two -minute span to complete the humiliation. Brad Armstrong scored the only power play marker 4for the Mustangs early in the • first period to give Clinton the lead. Troy Pocaluyko responded for the Ironmen to tie the game after one period of play. sh fth ` and" 'bean Armstrong expanded the Clinton lead to 3-1, but shortly afterward Pocaluyko fired his second goal of the night past Terry . Bean to narrow the margin to 3-2. With less than a minute gone in the third period, Randy Marriage upped the Mustang lead to 4-2. The Ironmen scored shortly thereafter, but the call was changed when one of the linesmen indicated. the puck had been redirected with a high stick. With just over three minutes left to play, the Mustangs connected for three goals, with singles going to Pete Willems, Brad. Armstrong and Tom Smith. IRONMEN 6, BEARS The Ironmen rebounded after their Friday night loss by doubling up 6-3 on the visiting Port Elgin 'Bears Sunday afternoon in front of a very poor crowd. The Ironmen got goals from all three lines in this game, something which has been sadly lacking and is very necessary if the team is to go anywhere this year. Wingham emerged from . the first period with a slim 1- 0 lead on a goal by Pocaluyko, his team -leading llth of the year, as he drilled one past Todd $ererfko from the slot. The Ironmen then took a cOinfnanding. 54 lead in the second period. Jim Dennis scored his second goal of the year, blasting a shot from the left point that found a hole between Serenko's pads. Steve Nicholson potted his second goal in three games, deflecting a Paul Irwin point shot en route to the goal with the goalie partly screened. Mike Chalmers controlled the face-off, setting up Irwin at the point. Brett Cameron made the score 4-0 as Kevin Coultes moved down the left boards, zeroed in on the Port Elgin goal and then passed off to Cameron parked in front of the goalmouth. He made no mistake in . quickly con- verting the pass. Rick Scrimgeour back- handed the puck into the open side of the goal for a 5-0 lead before the Bears got on the scoreboard with just eight seconds remaining in the period, as Mike Chen- nette blasted a hard shot from the right boards that beat Rob Schistad high to the glove side. In the third period, the Bears outscored the Ironmen by a 2-1 margin but fell well short of tying the game. Brian Lush stepped into a Legion Peewee team records a win and a tie The Wingham Legion Pee- Wees won their first game of the regular season by downing Clinton 12-1 and tying Milverton 4-4 in exhibition play last week. The local boys gained sweet revenge over Clinton last Tuesday evening. Last year the Legion squad was unable to stop Clinton's Calhoun, but managed to take those lumps in its stride. However this year the Wingham team is much superior as it _completely devastated Clinton. Wingham continues to play an excellent defensive game and its offensive power is awesome. This year's team has two well-balanced lines and a defensive squad second to none. Jeff McKee and Scott Neil led the Wingham attack with five goals and two assists and two goals and six assists respectively. Steve Michie led several rushes which resulted in a pair of goals and an assist, while Rob Harrison also figured in the scoring with a goal and two assists, as did Don Hein - miller with one goal, David McKee with three assists, Tim Currie and Jason Bloemberg with one assist each and Rob Murray with a goal and two assists. Jeff McKee completely baffled the Clinton defenders throughout the contest with his stickhandling skills as did Neil with his hard work. Currie and Bloemberg nullified several Clinton rushes as they both played an exceptional game. Milverton came to town last week and although they had only a few players, they played their hearts out and really hustled to record the 4- 4 tie, scoring with only 10 seconds remaining in the game. Milverton jumped into an early 2-0 lead in the first period before Jeff McKee evened the score for Wing - ham at 2-2 after two periods. Early in the third, David McKee and Rob MacKay tallied to put Wingham ahead by two. However Milverton refused to quit and scored twice to even the score at the end of regulation time. Andrew Mann played an excellent game in the net and assists went to Harrison, Michie, Jeff McKee, Neil and Heinmiller. bullet shot just after crossing the blueline, again beating Sthistad 'sigh to the glove side. ' Trwin gat that - one back with his second goal of the year, drilling a shot past Serenko from the top of the left face-off circle on a power play with 2:45 remaining in the game. Before time expired, the Bears scored once more as Lush was set up on the left side of the goal after Schistad had blocked the first attempt by Chennette, who jumped on the rebound and fed Lush who was all alone to Schistad's right. The Ironmen will play one game , this weekend, traveling to Walkerton Friday night for an 8:30 start. 'There will be no Sunday afternoon contest. Jack Tervit won $30 in the 50-50 draw. Blues tie first match By Jane Vath The Wingham Inter- mediate Ladies' team tied its first game of the season 2-2 with the Belmore Sugar Cuties last Saturday at the Lockridge Memorial Arena. Donna Fischer started the season off right for Wingham when she put one into the net just minutes into the first period, assisted by Dianne Golley. Belmore tied it up in the second, but not for long as Nancy Bieman's shot from the point was deflected past the Belmore goalie by Golley and Kathleen O'Donoghue. Wingham played well in the third period, holding onto its lead until just two minutes were left in the game when Belmore came back to leave the final count at2-2. The Blues' next home game is next Saturday, Nov. 24, when they host Tiverton at 8 p.m. BLUE LINES—Kathleen O'Donoghue looked im- pressive moving up from defence to forward -and scoring one goal. Coach Neil Bieman was pleased with his team's first performance and expects it to have a successful season in the WOAA league. Rockers split weekend action By Fraser Strong Wingham's old,timer's hockey team, the Rockers, _saw action in two weekend matches, winning one and losing one. Last Saturday evening Ripley supplied the •op- position and were perfect hosts, allowing Wingham to return home with a 4-0 victory taped to their sticks. The first period was scoreless with both teams having few scoring chances. The Rockers set the tone for the remaining periods by continually forcing the play into Ripley's zone. John Fryfogle finished off a pretty three-way passing play that started when Bill Tolton hit Wayne Brown breaking in across the blue - line. Brown spotted Fryfogle in the clear and dropped a pass onto his blade. With Tolton screening the goalie, Fryfogle drilled a low shot by him on his glove side. Less than one minute later Brown banked a shot off a Ripley defender and past the startled goaltender. Still in. the second period, Len Houghton and Ron Beecroft penned the "No Stars" in their zone for a lengthy period. Only superior stops by the Ripley goalie prevented Wingham from increasing its lead. Eight minutes into the third period, persistent forechecking paid off again for the Rockers. Fryfogle created a loose puck, dropped it to Fraser Strong at the point and he deposited it into the corner- of the net. With three minutes remaining in the game, Rol Laurie shovelled home a pass from Jim English to make the final score 4-0. George Skinn drew an assist on the goal. The Clinton Colts arrived in Blyth Sunday and gave the Rockers a lesson on hustle and hard work. Although Wingham played well, once again they failed to capitalize on their op- portunities. Clinton led 2-1 after one period. Gerry Hiltz nailed both goals for Clinton before Wingham's Skinn broke loose on a breakaway, deked the goalie out, but un- fortunately he still managed to block Skinn's shot with a pad. Fortunately for the Rockers, "garbage man" Strong followed up the play and poked home the loose puck in the crease. With five minutes gone in the second periad, Strong once again was the recipient of some hard work -by his linemates. Skinn and Ross Davies drew the goalie out to his left to stop them and when a rebound fell behind the goalie, Strong banged home- the loose puck. Although the referee credited Strong with the goal, two Wingham sticks had slapped at the puck` simultaneously as Davies also worked his way past the goalie. Clinton scored the last two goals ofthe game to give them a 4-2 win.

Lavish sets and cos- tumes designed especially for this tour will set the scene for one of the greatest love stories in opera.

Boheme" tells the story of the bohemian artists, musicians, poets and philo- sophers who filled their lives with gaiety, song, dance and romance.
