The contest was marred by penalties, with Wingham picking up 52 of 121 minutes called in the game. Three of the five Ironmen goals came on powerplays and both the Fergus scores were a result of Wingham playing a man short. Whitfield opened the scoring at the 1:25 mark of the first period when he converted a centring pass from behind the net. John Canzi tied the score before the end of the period on a powerplay, with the puck trickling across the, red line after Doug Taylor made the initial stop. Gerald Kurtz gave the Green Machine the lead as Fergus scored the only goal of the second period. Whitfield tied the score with his second goal of the afternoon at the 8:10 mark of the third period, letting go a blistering drive from the right faceoff circle and beating the goalie high to his glove side. Twenty-four seconds later Jim Blackwell gave Wingham the lead as he beat Johnson on the short side. With 4:11 remaining Sandy Henry made the count 4-2 when he poked at the puck while being hauled down from behind and was able to push it past Johnson. A minute and seven seconds later Randy Alton put the game out of reach by blasting a 50 footer past Johnson for the insurance goal. The three stars of the game were Dale Whitfield, with two goals and one assist; Jim Black- well,,with a goal and an assist; and Jack Kramer, with one assist.

DEFEAT HARVESTERS Earlier in the week the Iron - men won back to back games with the Grand Valley Har- vesters, picking up four points in their bid to nail down first place. On Tuesday the Ironmen defeated the Harvesters by a 10.2 margin, with Kevin Carter scoring four goals in the romp. Although the Harvesters were outshot 15-2 in the first period the' score at the end of the period was only 1-0 for Wingham:' - Carter drilled a 40 footer past Clayton Pogson for the lone score.

Tom Remington scored at the 5:24 mark in his first game for the Ironmen, poking in a loose puck after Pogson made three consecutive stops. Steve Solomon closed the gap with a shot from the point off a faceoff but just over a minute later Jim McGee got that one back on a powerplay. Sandy Henry fired the puck toward the net and McGee knocked it out of the air from his position at the side of the net. With 4:08 remaining the Ironmen began to pull away as they scored three goals in a two minute span. Randy Alton scored when he moved around a defenceman and, with Larry Milosevic screening, drilled one from the faceoff circle. Pogson had no chance on the play. Remington got his second goal, slapping in the rebound of Henry's point shot, and Carter got his second as he fired a quick shot after playing the puck off the boards. Clayton Calloway scored on a rebound with 55 seconds remaining in the period, but Milosevic got that one back with 17 seconds left. With the goalie down and trying to cover up he poked the puck out from beneath the pads and it had enough more goals in the first seven and a half minutes of play in the third.

In the second contest between the two clubs the Ironmen skated to an easy 15-4 rout led by three goals from Jim McGee. McGee registered the hat trick with 4:58 remaining in the first period. He sat out the two remaining periods with a shoulder injury. Mike Montgomery had a good game, scoring one goal and assisting on four others. At the beginning of the game the Harvesters had but eight players dressed, two of them goaltenders. By the end of the game their numbers grew to 11. The Harvesters are a struggling team with troubles within the club. Most of them are Midgets to begin with and there is a definite air of dissension among the players. However one must give them credit for trying. The Ironmen built up a 7-0 first period lead, with McGee clicking for three and singles going to Alt- on, Scott Wheeler, Jay Mac- Laurin and Dale Whitfield. In the second period Larry Mil- osevic scored on a powerplay, with other singles going to Mont- gomery, MacLaurin and Bernie Haines.
