The Wingham Advance-Times, 1976-11-25, Page 19Dave Bennett fires hat trick It was a goalie's nightmare and a player's delight as the Ironmen battled the Fergus Green Machine to a high scoring "W tie in Junior "D" action at the Fer- gus Arena last Friday night. The Ironmen jumped into a s to 2 lead in the first on a pair of goals by Dave Bennett and one by Kevin Murray. In second period action the Ironmen raised the count to 7 to 5 on goals by Dwight Leslie, Tom Graham, Kevin Murray and Dave Bennett. Third period started with lots of scoring as Jim McGee cotu ected at 1:50, then the Fergus Green Machine was put into high gear and rammed in three quick goals in less than four minutes to tie the score 8 -all at the 6 -minute mark. Both teams played hard but cautiously trying to get the go- ahead goal but when the final whistle blew it was two tired teams that settled, satisfied with the tie. 0-0-0 WHISTLE STOPS: Hats off to Dave Bennett who came up with the first hat trick of the season. fA*: - err:ff 4W AW W.

Dave has boon hot in the last two games with 5 goals. Kovin Mw - ray had a pair of Soak in the win and Wayne Johnston led the play - makers with three assists while linemate Tom Graham bad a goal and a pair of assists. Coach George Skinn went with Iota of offensive power in this one. He had only four regular defence - men dressed as he experimented with his line formations. Once again it was the "Rookies", Dave Bennett, Tom Graham and Wayne Johnston who packed the scoring punch with four of the eight goals. Tonight, Wednesday, Nov. 24, the Ironmen play host to the Fer- gus Green Machine and after that tie last Friday night, it should be a good one. Game time, 8:45 at the Howick Arena. Next Wednes- day the Ironmen host Markdale at the Howick arena — should be a pair of exciting games. Ted Saunders guest speaker at ball banquet "Sports Writing and the Life of a Sportswriter" was the topic of a talk by Wingham Advance -Times reporter Ted Saunders when the Wingham Brophy PeeWee base- ball team held its banquet at Turnberry Tavern last Thursday evening. The PeeWees are the first Wingham club to win the Western Ontario Athletic Association title and have their names engraved on the trophy. Most of the boys will be back next season to defend the title. Follopving the supper Ted told the boys some of the highlights of his career as a sportswriter over the past 21 years. . "Sports writing can be a very rewarding life," he said. "I started at the' bottom and finally worked my way to being a sports editor. In between I was able to meet a lot of the sports figures who are famous from the past to the future. ".There have been a lot of good times but it has been hard work. There isn't much time left for any social life." He went on to say that "one of the big things- in being a good sports writer is to have a knowl- edge of all sports". In his own career he played most sports but was never good enough to make a career of any one sport. Knowing what you are talking about is one thing necessary so that people, who read the write- ups of games, believe what is written. A sports writer has to give an accurate description of what has gone on. Ted said, "You have to give readers the feeling they were actually at the game." He told the boys that sports writing, and reporting in general, is a good career. However, a good schooling in English and gram- mar is a prime requisite. Read- ers have to understand what is being written. When the guest speaker was finished the boys received their jackets. Elan*'77 from Ski-Dod.

Coaches Rick Deichert and Des Brophy are in rear. The Peewees won the Western Ontario Athletic Association title to become the first Wingham club to have its name engraved on the trophy. Ironmen are edged 5-3 by the Arthur Eagles In a rough and rugged game played last Wednesday night at the Howick arena the Arthur Screaming Eag with a strong third period, nded the Ironmen their first loss of the season, a 5-3 setback. It was a rough first period with a lot of chipiness, a round of wrestling and a lot of penalties. Arthur went ahead at the seven - minute mark on Bill Kalapaca's power play goal. At 9:27 Dave Bennett evened the count with a quick shot from ten feet out, beating Arthur goalie high on the glove side. In the dying minute of the period the Ironmen went ahead 2-1 as Dave Bennett picked up his second goal of the period, this one a deflection of Dave MacDonald's blast from the point. The second period saw the teams settle down to play hockey at least for the first 15 minutes of the period, and it was a pleasure to watch. Then a skirmish at the 15 -minute mark and when the fists stopped flying Arthur's Kimball Foord failed to stop scuffling and he was gone for the game. The lone goal of the period was a power play goal by Ar- thur's Gary Fletcher and it was a 2 -all tie at the end of the second. In the third, Arthur's Earl Rhame put Arthur ahead at the eight minute mark with a screen- ed shot from the point. A penalty to Russel Jones at the 10 -minute mark put the Ironmen in trouble, but, playing a man short the Iron - men evened the score when Wayne Johnston caught the Arthur defenceman napping, stole the puck at centre and broke Lalone and fired it home to tie game and put the Ironmen right back in the game. That is, until they picked up another pen- alty and playing two men short just weren't able to ward off the Arthur attackers. John Bell's power play goal at 11:07 made it 4 to 3 arld Arthur's Ewald Lam- mording got the insurance goal at 14:13 to give Arthur this 5 to 3 win. WHISTLE STOPS: It was the usual game when Arthur hits the New Horizons grant received by lawn bowlers A New Horizons grant awarded by Health and Welfare Minister Marc Lalonde recently to the Wingham Lawn Bowling Club will allow them to do some reno- vations to the clubhouse. The $7,076 grant will put in a new floor in the clubhouse which needs repairing. The beams under the wooden floor are collapsing and the club has de- cided to put in a cement floor with carpeting over it. Some of the money will also be used to enclose the clubhouse porch. Windows with screens will be installed so that members can sit out during the summer. Siding is to be installed on the clubhouse and a new storage shed will be built. It is hoped the new work will begin to increase the membership. Since the golf course has been in Wingham, the membership in we Lawn Bowling Club has dwindled. American's are the world's heaviest smokers at 4,148 per capita per year, the British are second at over 3,000 and Canada ranks third at 2,R27. It's a ranking of no pride to the Christmas Seal people at your Huron -Perth Lung Association who through re- search and education are fighting to stamp out smoking. ice, penalties galore with Arthur picking up no less than 53 minutes in penalties and the Ironmen getting 31 minutes in penalties. It's hard to understand why a team like Arthur, a good skating team, cannot control their chip - on -the -shoulder attitude and those uncalled for after -the - whistle cheap shots. Three stars were Arthur's Earl Rhame and Wayne Rooney, with the third Wingham's lone bright star with a pair of goals, Dave Bennett. Despite the loss, this game served as a good initiation for the Ironmen's young defence crew — sure they made mistakes but I'm sure they learned a lot in this loss. Brian Wall was in the net for the Ironmen and came up with a lot of spectacular saves and more than one goal was caused by poor clearing by the young defence crew. Hats off to Arthur's coach Bruce Weber. He showed the mark of a good coach when, with less than three minutes to go in the game, and playing a man short, got a one minute breather for his overworked penalty killers when he changed his goalies. Yes, the minute it took to warm up his goalie gave his penalty killers a needed breather and the replacement goalie was in the net for no more than 15 seconds. Third period action saw coach George Skinn do some shuffling of his lines and his switching of Tom Graham from the wing, back to his regular centre spot, made for improvement: A new recruit at the blueline, Ron Riley, a rearguard with size, should prove a real plus for the Ironmen as the season advances. Better be ready, Arthur, be- cause on Boxing Day things will be different! Kinsmen Bantams lose opener 7-1 The Wingham Kinsmen Ban- tams dropped the first game of the -season to Palmerston by a score of 7-1. Scott McGregor was the lone Wingham marksman. Although outclassed Saturday night, the team has a mixture of experience, depth and a strong desire to play well. With only one practice thus far, they played reasonably well. Coach and manager, Doug Neil and Ted Ahara are looking for- ward to a much improved team effort as the season progresses. The team played in Palmerston on Tuesday night and they were hopeful of narrowing the margin considerably. Come on over to the Lucknow arena and give some encourage- ment to our local boys. Home games will be played at 8 p.m. on Saturday nights until the Wing - ham arena resumes operation. Hunter safety Beginning in January, 1977, all hunter safety examination cen- tres will be held at the Hullett Wildlife Management Area Maintenance Building. There will be a centre on the third Tuesday of each month. However, if we receive a large number of applications, usually during the fall months, additional centres will be scheduled at the same location. Applicants are reminded to send in their applications to our Wingham Office at least two weeks prior to the examination centre in order that they may be processed in time.
