Junior 'B' round-robin tpiaydown
series in London Tuesday night as
they drew a 2-2 tie with the Lou
Balls, after 70 minutes of close and
hard -checking hockey.
The tie gave the locals the one
point needed to pull out of a first'

Local Fans Turned Away
Some 200 fans, including about
50 from Seaforth; were turned away
from London's inadequatg arena
Tuesday night. The 1600 who did,
get in before fire regulations clos-
ed the doors, saw a hard -checking
match run into an overtime period
which failed 'to produce a victor.
Seaforth maintained a scoring lead
practically throughout the game.
Less then two minutes of regula-
tion time were left when the tying
puck was fired by London.
In the first two periods, t"he rock
defence of Aitcheson, Shorey and
Jack Muir foiled London's offen•
sive forays. When this failed Gar
Barker's netminding wizardy stym-
ied the opposition.;•
Meanwhile "Farmer" McFadden's
offensive strength weren't picking
daisies. At 11:32' of the first third,
Ron Muir fired a screened low'
one past London's Jerry Wilson. In
the remainder of the period Lon-
don attempted a steamy drive
which failed to register, even with
Seaforth's one-man handicap after
Broome took active exception to a
London player and went to the
penalty box for his efforts.
Lead Until Third '
Stanza two found London getting
desperate and 'Gar Baker- kicking
aside all the pucks the Lou Balis
could manage to fire his way. Lon-
don got nowhere in the second per-
iod.'
At 5:19 of the third, with Sea-
forth's Pike in the sin bin, the com-
bination of Church and Thompson
worked the goal to tie the contest.
But not tied for Tong. Sixty sec-
onds later Elliott steamedinto the
London end, fired a high sizzler
and 'the score was 2-1 for Sea -
forth. Play see -sawed for the re-
mainder of the period. At 18:20,
London's Tommy Wilson found
aker's measure with a backhand -
'Cr and gained the equalizer.
Through the overtime frame both
sides missed scoring chances, with
London making the play, particu-
larly in the last five minutes. The
withdrawal of London. goalie Wil-
son and the addition of another for-
ward failed to net a ,hat -trick for
the Lou Balls in the dying min-
utes. Game over and the score
was 2-2 for Seaforth.
