The tie gave the locals the one point needed to pull out of a first' place deadlock with Sarnia. The .one point for London wasn't en- ough to take them out of cellar spot, After Tuesday's game, the last of the round-robin schedule, Seaforth sits on top with nine pointe Sarnia, who play here Thursday of this week in the first of a best -three -in -five playoff series, owns eight points in • the middle, and London, the eliminated 'club, finish with seven. 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.
