Bantams Eliminated
Despite Good Play
•
"Stop Mason and you will stop
Seaforth!" was the war cry of the
Port Elgin Bantams as they edged
Seaforth Bantams 6-5 in '.the final
game of their best -of -three W.O.A.
A. Bantam semi-finals. Although
Seaforth was able to carry the bet-
ter part of the play, the powerful
goal -tending of Jim Clyme, in the
Port Elgin fort, was unbeatable.
The theme the Elgin opposition .fol-
lowed was to keep Mason double-
checked, and they had a chance to
win the series. This is just • wthat'
they did, and as a result the Sea -
forth Bantams played their final
game of the season.
Don Mitchell gave Port Elsin a i
strong 2-0 lead in the first period i
before Seaforth could get into the
scoring department. McClinchey
potted a goalmouth pass from Mas-
on to start Seaforth in the scor-
ing. During the final minutes of
the period the local youngsters
swarmed the port fort but weren't
able to tally the equalizer.
Down Three.Goals
In the second 20 minutes, Port
Elgin stretched their lead over Sea -
forth as they were able to outscore
their opponents 3-1. This left Sea -
forth with a three -goal deficit at
the end of 40 minutes of action.
Seaforth was by jar the power-
house in the final frame, but the
final goal allowed to Port Elgin
at the eight -minute mark was the
tale -teller. A drive staged by Sea -
forth in the early minutes of the
period had three goals, going into
the Elgin's goal 'in two minutes.
This left the score tiers 5-5. and it
looked as if Coach Don Morton
and his younger crew might end up-
on top. The fatal shot of Dugen
dashed all hopes and Seaforth will
now sit on the sidelines.
