The Black Hawks .scored 12 times compared With the Ironmen's 11 goal output and each game was hockey at its best. It is enjoyable to.watch the calibre of hockey these two clubs displayed. Every game was filled with great inten- sity. That intensity did not deteriorate into bloodbath or vicious stick swinging but featured two determined clubs, each intent on proving itself superior to the other. Should both clubs advance to _ the final's there will be a spectacular finish to deter- mine the overall. group thampions.

Again Don was beaten on his glove side. As a matter Of fact all three goals were to his injured side. He seemed a little slow, a weakness which can be attributed to his in- jury, however, he did make a number of good glove saves and came up big in the last few minutes of the game, stopping Steve Miller who was able to sneak in behind the Ironmen defence. That save may have been the difference; instead of having to come back in the final period the home team was able to go from scratch. Walkerton was again outshot 21 to 16 in the middle frame.
