The second game of the best of five series was played Friday night in Seaforth. Seaforth outplayed its opponents throughout the first period and outscored them 4-0. A power play gave Seaforth its first goal, as a Seaforth point man took a shot from the blue line. The Six Nations goaltender came up with a save for the initial shot, but lost track of the rebound and Joe Murray ham- mered the loose puck in the net. Assisting on the goal were Wayne Schoonderwoerd and Mike Watt. Mike Devereaux got the next marker for Seaforth as he let go a shot from a bad angle but managed to knock it in off the goaltender's pad, with Boyd Devereaux get- ting the assist. Joe Murray did his best to score the third Seaforth goal, but his shot from point blank range was saved. The re- bound however, was picked up by Dean Fin- nigan who made his shot count. Murray got the assist on the goal. The fourth Seaforth goal was put in the net on a rare type of goal in minor hockey, a deflection. Wayne Schoonderwoerd shot the puck from inside the blueline and as the goalie went down to make the save Boyd Devereaux, who was standing alone in front of the net, got a piece of the puck and tipped it over the goalie's head and into the net. Seaforth had a lot of good scoring chances throughout the first two periods, and con- trolled most of the play. The Siv N'fienS team had only occasional offensive spurts which resulted in few opportunities for them to get back in the game. In the third period the Seaforth club's All Ontario quarter final system started to break down, and Six Na- tions picked up a loose puck in front of the net and caught the Seaforth netminder unaware to break the shutout. But Seaforth was determined to beat Six Nations by that four goal margin and Jason Henderson fed the puck in front of the net to Joe Murray who put away Seaforth's fifth goal and his second of the night. That's the way the score stayed, and aeatorff won me game -1. So Seaforth went back to Oshweken. on Sunday night two games ahead of their Six Nations rivals. On home ice the Six Nations club gave Seaforth a real run for their money, but a 5-4 win in overtime gave Seaforth the series, and moved them a step closer to an All Ontario title. The Seaforth Atom Is will meet Lambeth in the semi- finals. In preparation for that confrontation the Atom Is played an exhibition game against the St. Thomas Major "AA" Atoms. Seaforth came up with a 7-3 victory in that game. Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada LIFE 8 MORTGAGE INSURANCE PLANS DEFERRED ANNUITIES, INCOME TAX DEDUCTIBLE FLEXIBLE NO LOAD R.R.S.P.

Local snowmobile team takes home gold The Winter Olympics wasn't the only sporting event in which a person could win gold medals this winter, and the members of Team Fun -the Seaforth area's oval racing snowmobile team- got its share of recogni- tion this year. Bill Anderson, of Seaforth, and John Munn, of Hensall, are the two drivers for the local snowmobile club. They are helped out by Craig Millar, of Londesborough, who is their mechanic; and George Morrison, of Mt. Bridges, who manages the team and does a lot of the public realtions work. Bill and John drive 19138 Arctic Cats -Bill in the "B" Stock class and John in the "C" Stack class. They are sponsored by Country Corners, an Arctic Cat dealer in Mt. Carmel. In addition Bill is also sponsored by Eastern Market, Canadian distributers of Arctic Cats. For Team Fun the snowmobile season starts long before the snow flies. Test runs were made this year at the grass drags in Seaforth, and following the grass drags Bill took his sled to Eagle River, Wisconsin for oval racing on wood chips. The first oval race on ice was back in Eagle River on December 20. Small things that went wrong with the machines kept Team Fun out of the running, and its drivers didn't do very well. "It was our first year on Arctic Cats," Bill explains. But by the time the first OSRF (Ontario Snowmobile Racing Federation) race of the year came up in Owen Sound they had iron- ed out most of the wrinkles and Bill claimed a second, two thirds, and a fourth. In the club competition Bill, who belongs to the Clinton and District Snowmobile Club, got second; and John, who drives for the Pineridge snowmobile club, placed third. At the World Championship, held in Eagle River on January 17 and 18, Team Fun com- peted against the best drivers in North America. John placed third in the "D" Stock, "and I blew it" adds «ho didn't place at the competition.
