The matches were played at the Madill gymnasium. Against the Panthers, the junior Mustangs won the first game 15-1 and then were forced to come from behind in the next two games as they won 16-14 and 15-13. In the third game, they trailed at one point 11-4. The junior Mustangs easily downed Seaforth in the first two games, 15-1 and 15-2, but were again forced to come from behind in the third game as they posted a 17-15 decision. Junior Mustang coach Audrey Bos said that everyone was able to get into at least one of the games. She added that the rookies are im- proving. The junior Mustangs are paced by hitters Andrew Exel and Mike Nolan and setter Matt Smith. Bos said Smith is a good setter, who sets up the middle and outside hit- ters. The coach noted that setter Ean Moffatt has adjusted well to the position, the first year he has played it. Bos said that South Huron has a lot of potential, and should be the team to beat next season. In the senior matches, the senior Mustangs fell 15-5 to South Huron in the first game.

Ironmen fall to Patriots By JIM BROWN The Advance -Times Wingham Ironmen scored the first and last goal of their Western Junior 'C'• Hockey League game, Sunday afternoon at the Lockridge Memorial Arena. Unfortunately, the Mount For- est Patriots scored seven times in between to post a 7-2 decision over the Ironmen. It was the Iron - men's first loss of the season. The game saw the return of goaltender Steve Schwartzentruber to the Wingham line-up. Schwart- zentruber played the 1994-95 sea- son with the St. Marys Lincolns of the Western Junior 'B' League. His return was less than auspi- cious as he allowed four first peri- od goals and a fifth in the second period before being replaced by Dave Bartman. Schwartzentruber did make some big saves for the Ironmen, but he was not receiving much help from his defence. Just 35 seconds into the game, the Patriots thought they had scored, but referee L.D. Crawford disallowed the goal because Mount Forest's John Kollias was handed a goaltender interference penalty. Chris Buchanan got the Iron - men on the scoreboard, on the power play, at 2:16. Justin Murray and Brett Sangster received the as- sists. The Patriots evened the score on the power play at 4:24 as Jeff Rahn redirected a cross goal - mouth pass from Derek Watson into the net on the short side. Just over three minutes later•, the Patriots took the lead as Rick Ly- tle blasted a shot past Schwartzen- truber from the point. Seconds ear- lier, the Wingham netminder almost got caught out of the net as he scrambled for his stick, but the shot from the Mount Forest for- ward hit the post. • Mount Forest raised the count to 3-1 at 9:34 as Marty McLeod skated in from the point and fired a shot between Schwartzentruber's pads. Pesky Jason Paige gave the Pa- triots a three -goal advantage at 17:24, on the power play, as he fired the puck up over the Wing - ham goalie after Rahn's shot bounced off the glass and ended up on Paige's stick. Rahn's second goal of the game at 6:14 of the second period was scored from a sharp angle, and saw Bartman replace Schwartzen- truber in the Wingham goal. Tempers were getting strained in the physical contest, and after being handed a roughing minor in the second period, Wingham's Bu- chanan after finally going to the penalty bench, jumped out of the berich and started beating on the Patriots' Lytle. Buchanan ended up with 13 minutes in penalties as well as two game misconducts. He will serve a three -game suspen- sion. Mount Forest thought they had taken a five goal lead at the 13 minute mark, but the goal was dis- allowed as Jeff Parker was handed an interference penalty. - ' Bartman stopped the pesky Paige late in the' period after the Mount Forest forward stole the puck from Wingham rearguard Tim Good. The Patriots tallied their power play goal at 4:48 of the third peri- od as Todd Rex poked the shot in on the short side as the Patriots swarmed all around the net. Rahn netted his third goal of the game at 5:01 as he did the wrap- around and tucked the puck past Bartman on the short side. Murray tallied the second, Wingham goal at 14:36 as he ripped a hard shot from the top of the face off circle that eluded Pa- triot goalie Jon Biesenthal. Referee Crawford assessed 19 minors, one fighting major and five misconducts against the Iron - men while handing the Patriots 13 minors and four misconducts. The Ironmen travel to Wiarton on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. game against the Wolves, and then host the Hanover Barons on Sunday, beginning at 2 p.m. at the Lock - ridge Memorial Arena. Umpiring main topic of discussion at WOAA softball wrap-up meeting Western Ontario Athletic Asso- ciation (WOAA) softball chairman John Craddock told the softball - wrap-up meeting that the number of teams were down in the older divisions for 1995, but had in- creased in the younger divisions. Craddock noted that 'good roots' had been established and was hopeful that the numbers will continue to grow. He reported that the season went well with few problems, but there was still room for improve- ment. The main topic of discussion during the meeting was umpiring. Concerns were expressed about the dress of umpires, especially during playdowns, clinics,' and carding. WOAAJOASA liaison Bill De - Haan expressed a concern about the dress of umpires, especially during the final series. He said that teams deserve better than someone who is not dressed professionally. Convenor Dave Millen suggest- ed 'that perhaps umpires be sus- pended or only receive half the pay as a way to encourage them to dress properly. Glenn Hayter of Stanley Town- ship .also suggested. that a list be supplied to the umpires to let them know where to' obtain the proper clothing. He was also concerned about the difficulty 'in finding umpires who are old enough to umpire bantam and midget games. Be- cause some people who are carded have no intentions of umpiring, but attend clinics for information purposes, there should be a pro- cess where these individuals don't end up on the umpire list. The softball committee of the WOAA will establish a committee to look into the possibility of hav-• ing an umpire -in -chief for every centre. The umpires -in -chief would watch the local umpires and help them out when necessary. There would have to be a clinic for the umpires -in -chief. When it came to umpire clinics, there was a concern about senior officials and younger umpires have different time limits. Craddock explained that clinics were not set up this way, because two clinics would then have to be held, which would make thein more costly: He added that the younger um- pires benefit from the senior um- pires. - DeHaan noted that there are dif- ferent clinics for different ages as • well as on -field clinics with Soft- ball Ontario. Hayter asked about the necessi- ty of WOAA umpire cards and crests if people can receive them through Softball Ontario. DeHaan said that with their own cards, the WOAA can control their own umpires with Restricted, Lev- el ,1 or Level II cards. He added that another requirement of the • WOAA is that umpires attend a clinic. Craddock added that with their own umpires association the costs are lower, and they are covered by WOAA insurance.
