Ironmen lose 10-3
to Kinucks Friday
, By Peter Bauer
The Kincardine Kinucks
had two -goal performances
• by Dick Davidson, Dan
Wilken and Kevin Stewart as
they defeated the visiting
Ironrnaen in a 10-3 rout Friday
night.
It was not so much that the
Kinucks were that awesome:
It was that the Ironmen
came up flat again. With the
exception of a very few
players the team appeared
intimidated.
The only highlight of the
game offensively was the
work of Ken Cousins and
Todd Wheeler. Wheeler
continually entered the
Kinuck zone and attempted
to set up Cousins. In the first
two periods of the game their
efforts were stopped by
Kincardine goalie Ken
Weise. However, in the final
period Cousins registered a
hat trick, producing all three
Ironmen tallies, while
Wheeler did most of the work
setting up assists on all three
goals.
After getting off to a fast
start in the opening two
minutes, the Kinucks turned
things around and bottled up

zone. Don Higgins was
forced to come with a big pad
save on Steve Simpson on a
giveaway and then a good
stop on Rob Tinbell's screen.
shot from the point.
But the screen shot was
going to prove an important
factor before the evening
was over. The Kinucks
began with Kevin Stewart's
first goal, knocking in a
rebound during a scramble
in front of the goal. Higgins
argued that the puck was
kicked in, but referee Garry
Baker ignored the protest
and the goal stood.
Brad Fitzsimmons drilled
a shot from the right point
that found its way 'to the
bottom right-hand corner of
the .. goal. Higgins had no
chance on it as he was
completely screened on the
shot.
Simpson was given a gift
goal as he was untouched
while standing about 15 feet
in front of the goal. He fired
the puck by Higgins, who had
no help on the play. The
period ended with the
Kinucks enjoying a 3-0 lead.
The Kinucks added four
more in the second, in-
cluding a shorthanded goal
as the Ironmen were caught
up ice while on the power
play. Derrick Burrows, Dave
Petteplace, Dick Davidson
and Dan Wilken added to the
Kinuck lead. The Ironmen
fell victim •to a number of
two -on -one and three -on -two
breaks as they attempted to
get back in the game. The
Ironmen threw defensive
play7fo the wind as they were
pounced on by the fast -
breaking Kinuck forwards.
Davidson, Wilken and
Stewart rounded out the
kincariiirie scoring, , while
' Ren Cousins gave the
Ironmen a • glimmer of
respectability in an other-
wise unimpressive outing.

Listowel Midgets skated to a
2-2 tie last week at Listowel.

Wingham trails in standings
Mustangs trample
By Peter Bauer
The Clinton Mustangs
registered an 8-4 win over
the Wingham' Ironmen
Sunday afternoon with the
help of a three -goal per-
formance by Brian Horner.
The loss leaves the Iron -
men in last place, one point
back of the Hanover Barons
and at present out of the
playoff picture. The Barons
are a vastly improved club,
winning two games last
week, the most recent a win
over the Mustangs Tuesday
night. Earlier they beat the
Ironmen 5-2.
The Ironmen now have 11
games remaining to improve
their standing and hopefully
qualify for the playoffs.
The Mustangs took an
early lead and never trailed
in the game, holding a 2-1
first -period lead and a 5-2
lead after ' two periods of
play.
Brian Horner potted the
first Clinton goal, converting
the rebound of a Dave Smith
shot. Darrin Watts 'evened
the count 17 seconds later
following a scramble to the
right of Jim MacDonald.
Larry Daer put the
Mustangs' back on top,
deflecting Brent Daw's point
shot at the 5:27 mark. There
was no further scoring in the
period.
Horner made it 3-1 just
over a minute into the second
period, poking in the rebound
after his backhand attempt
was stopped by Don Higgins.
Doug Cousins converted a
s from behind the Clinton
g al by Scott Wheeler,
directing the puck to the far
corner of the goal.
Mike Hodge regained the
two -goal bulge two minutes
later, flipping a rebound
over Higgins, who was down
after blocking a shot by Bill
Peters. That goal, came on a
power play.
Horner finished off the hat
trick, deflecting a shot past
Higgins with just, under a
minute remaining in the
period to give the Mustangs
a comfortable 5-2 lead after
Ironmen
40 minutes of play.
Scott Wheeler drilled a
shot from a sharp angle deep
in Mustang territory which
found its way to the far side
of •the goal, bringing the
Ironmen to within two. The
Mustangs then scored three
consecutive goals during the
next 15 minutes to put the
game out of reach. Brad
Armstrong and Peters added
singles, while Hodge potted
his second of the afternoon.
In the dying seconds, Ken
Cousins fired a shot that
went through the pads of
MacDonald, making the
final score 8-4.
Brian Hornerwas, the first
star with three goals in the
match. Larry Daer was the
second star with one goal for
the . Mustangs. 'Rick
Scrimgeour • was, the third
star, playing a steady game
defensively while moving the
puck with good control.
Joe White won $24.50 in the
50-50 draw. Pete Bauer won
the pizza fromPizza Train.
oyalsknock �ff,
oderich Sailors
Last Friday night the
Wingham Royals upset the
Goderich Sailors 4-1 in a
game in Goderich which
erupted into a fist fight in the
second period.
Goderich opened the
scoring at 7:27 as Steve
Merian picked off a bad
clearing pass in the Royals
end. •
The Royals pressed back
with intensity and at 10:31,
Dave Stephenson rang one
off the post and Rick Jacklin
was johnny-on-the-spot to°
.put it home. At 19:37, the
Royals got a big powerplay
goal as Jacklin flipped it
from behind the net into the
slot to Stephenson and the
:Royals had a 2-1 lead after 20
minutes of play,.
The second period was one
of those long, drawn-out
periods incorporating
everything from good end-to-
end excitement, some good
saves and the eruption of a
brawl in the dying seconds.
The Royals got their third
goal at 3:09 as Paul Cej•son
won the draw back to Dennis
Knox at the point and
although the Goderich goalie
got a piece of the puck Randy
Clark pounced on the
rebound and flipped it into
the net as he was hit with a
solid check.
At 17:30 the Royals went
ahead as the Sailors' Paul
Kelly watched from the
penalty box on a shot from
the point by Ron Bennett of
the Royals. The puck zoomed
through no less than three
pairs of legs before bulging
the twine behind a helpless
Goderich goalie.
Then at 18:18 it happened.
The spark that ignited the
fireworks was Sailor Dale
Duncan's glove towards
Eddie Haines' head and it
was very bad timing on
Duncan's part as he was on
the receiving end of rapid
punches from , both the
Haines boys.
Goderich's spare„ goalie
carne off the bench, followed
by his coach and mayhem
reigned supreme.
To g top off the action,
Duncan turned on linesman
Pete Chikl%im as he at-
tempted to evict him from
the game. Chisholm ended
up on the wrong end of a
punch and had his sweater
ripped from neck to waist.
When the smoke • cleared,
Sailors Duncan,. Fowles and.
Reynolds were evicted from
the game as were Royals
Bernie Haines, Knox and
Murray_Black.
The third period saw both
teams with their rosters
reduced and they settled
down to play hockey with
only one • nalty in the
period . A`': �' o scoring.
It was two tired teams
which shook hands at the end
of the game with the Royals
very happy to pick up this
big 4-1 win.
WHISTLE STOPS—A
surprise in this game was the
return of Bernie Haines for
the Royals and his leader-
ship in the early part of the
game played a key part in
the win. Murray Black was
taken by complete surprise
when he was thrown out of
the game as he attempted to
act as peacemaker while
teammate Ed Haines, who
was in the midst of the
brawl, escaped penalty -free.
Coach Kerr, realizing he
was going to be short of
skaters in the third, was seen
soliciting Ma Bell's help with
a call to the "FARM”
system for help from Ed

*SCOUTING NEWS
By A. J. Kaufman
This week we worked on
our semaphore and Morse
code , Some , more. We
practiced sending and
receiving both of these. We
also found out how hard it
was to recognize the signs we.
had tried to learn.
We also had our Christmas
party. We had many a cookie
over many a tale. This was
our last meeting before
Christmas. Our Scout leader,
Marty Cretier, paid for all
the food and we thank him
very much. This is all until
Christmas.
