AMOCCIATE 511M / 11 North St. EN Allingham M r � Eagles lose r l close game t at Listowel The Wingham Eagles hockey team was much in the news during the winter of 19WN, t especially its hard-fought rivalries with Lucknow and Listowel. The birds usually managed to handle Lucknow, but the Listowel team gave them trouble, often winning by just one goal. The following is a report of i� one of their contests: . The fact that Lorne Zulauf had four stitches alongside his eye from an injury received while i practising Monday night did not hinder him from playing a truly sensational game at Listowel on Tuesday evening. He stopped p them from every angle and t ` deserves much credit for his plucky showing. The game was an overtime affair. Tied 1 -all at the end of regulation time, the fans were kept on their toes for a \ *1 f the overtime. When eight a r minutes had passed Lavery '\ scored on a pass from L. Thompson to put the game on ice. For the last two minutes the r a\ birds pressed very hard and had Listowel on the run, but could not net the old bootheel. Alf Lockridge was in the lineup and the old warhorse played a very \ good game. \The MM first period was scoreless. For Wingham Miller, Cruick- shank, Patterson and Elliott all at the far right and the boy in front of him is Neil Robb. missed good chances to score, as Morris Bosman is third from the left in the second row. did several of the Listowel play - (Photo courtesy of Mrs. Olive Gallaher) ers. This period was fast and three penalties were handed out. The second period had only gotten nicely underway when the Eagles took the lead, Baker netting the,puck with Brown and Elliott in on the play. This was the only goal of the period and as Listowel pressed for the equalizer Zulauf was on the job. n Listowel tied it up in less than one minute of the third period, Spence doing the trick. This was the fastest period. Both teams played hard to take the lead but the goalies held them off. `,. Wingham had three penalties to one by Listowel this period, but when shorthanded travelled at top speed and held the fori. ate: eight minutes of overtime Lavery g of the million dollar goal for :'<" Listowel. The Wingham lineup had Zulauf in goal; Miller and Cruickshank on defence; Elliott at centre, Brown on left wing and Baker on right wing; alternates were Batgpon, Patterson, King, Mitchell and Lockridge.
