Combines lead Series 2-1; Return to Hensall Ice Saturday Following a thrilling 7-4 vic- tory on their home ice Tuesday night, the 1-Iensall-Zurich Com- bines took a one -game lead in their best -of -seven series for the Junior D group title. After winning the first game of the series on their own ice, the Combines lost 10-4 in the sec- ond game last Saturday night in Strathroy.

Strathroy 10—Combines 4 Combines suffered a double loss in the Saturday game at Strathroy, 'losing the game and also losing the services of high - scoring forward Bruce Cooper, who suffered a broken arm. Cooper will be out for the bal- ance of the season. Strathroy went into an early first period lead, as they regis- tered four goals before the Combines found the range. Bill Shaddick scored for the Com- bines with less than a minute and a half to go in the first session. In the second period, the Combines outscored Strathroy 3-2, with Bob Livermore, Steve Kyle and Mike Cushmon each blinking the red light once. The big difference in the two teams came in the third session, when Strathroy completely dom- inated the play, and scored four unanswered goals. A total of 25 penalties were handed out in the game, with 13 of them going to the Rockets and 12 to the Combines. Combines 7—Strathroy 4 Playing before a large crowd of hone fans .on Tuesday night, the Combines turned in a real come -from -behind e f f or t, as they skated to 'a 7-4 victory .over their bitter rivals. Even though they were out- scored in the first two periods on Tuesday night, the Combines held a slight edge on the play. At the end of the first period, the Rockets were leading 3-1, and at the end of the second, 4-3. In the third period, how- ever, it was the Combines all. the way, as the scored four un- answered goals. Mike Cushman and Bill Shad - dick were the big guns for the Combines, as they scored two goals each. Bob Livermore, Craig Chapman and Steve Kyle each blinked the red light once. The third period, at times, threatened to break out in a real donnybrook as players on both teams started to rough things up a bit. A total of 23 penalties were handed out by referees Gus Boussey and Lou Heinbuck, with 13 of them go- ing to the Rockets. The game featured plenty, of fast action, as the short-handed Combines turned in one of their best efforts of the season. The forwards skated hard both ways, and the defence cleared the puck well. A number of stiff body -checks were handed out by Russ Klopp and Dale Turvey, on the Combines' defence, and this helped to slow down the Strathroy attack. At the close of the game a number of Strathroy fans milled around the referees' dressing room, in an attempt to take out their vengance on the officials, A couple of policement on the scene, however, squelched any Letter Seaforth, Ontario, March 17, 1964.

Duron County Tax 'ate Will Remain at 14 Mills This Year Goderich — The county tax rate for this year will remain at 14 mills — six for general purposes and eight for roads — if county council adopts the budget presented at the opening of March session by clerk -treasurer John G. Berry. The forecast a year ago was for a rise of one mill to maintain the road and bridge program, but a larger -than -expected year- end surplus was a factor in avoiding the increase. In 1963, there was withdrawn from surplus funds $110,000, and this was expected to pro- duce a year-end surplus of $16,- 899 on a budget of $2,224,334, largest ever for Huron, but at end of the year there was a sur- plus of $95,000. ideas they may have had of harming the officials. Saturday night's game back in Hensall will probably see the bigges crowd of the season on hand, as the rivalry will be get- ting stronger after each game.
