Meanwhile Scott Hoegy, who was screening the goaltender, takes a hit from behind. Seaforth won the contest 6-2, and beat them on home ice Sunday 6-4. Corbett photo. Midgets brawl in Six Nations The Seaforth Midgets had to fight their way off the ice in Oshweken on Sunday night, after they took control of their quarter final series against Six Nations on the weekend. After a hard hitting game on Sunday, which Seaforth won 6-4, the two teams lined up to shake hands but the referee, wanting to keep these teams apart, told the teams to go -off the ice. Brad Beuttenmiller got into a "discussion" with one of the Six Nations players, and the conversations turned ugly as the two started swinging. This spark caught and soon almost all of the players were brawling, and parents and spectators were jumping over the boards. There .were no serious injuries resulting from the brawl, although Dwayne Price was knocked unconscious, and some of those spectators who jumped over the boards sound themselves at the mercy of the Six Nations players. The whole arena was in chaos as Seaforth players tried to get to their dressing room, but a mob in front of the door leading off the ice stopped any orderly retreat. Ron Murray helped the team to evacuate the ice, and kept the teams apart as he stood at the door and hauled Seaforth players off the ice and pushed Six Nations players back on. Eventually the players made it off the ice, and the Six Nations players proceeded to beat the green helmets which were left on the ice with their sticks. A mob of local hoods gathered at the arena while the Seaforth team was getting changed, and for a while it looked like the situation could get out of hand again, but the O.P.P. showed up and most of the crowd left. SEAFORTH 6 - SIX NATIONS 2 But the game Friday night showed no signs of the brawl to come on Sunday, although both teams played hard hitting hockey. Seaforth's first goal came as Mike Schoonderwoerd shot the puck just wide of the Six Nations net, and Blair Beuermann got a stick on it and snuck it behind the net - minder. Brad Carter, who led the Seaforth offense with four goals, got the second goal .off a backhand shot assisted by Andy Ball and Brad Beuttenmiller. Brad Beuttenmiller delivered some crushing bodychecks as he stood the Six Na- tions players up at the blueline. He dished out two hits in one shift that must have had the recipients wishing they were someplace else. Brad Carter got his second and third goals in the second period, both unassisted, to give Seaforth a 4-0 lead. Six Nations also put in two goals in the later part of the third period. The first came from a shot at the top of the circles that found the five hole, and the second came when a shot off the crossbar flipped high in the air, and a Six Nations player batted the puck -badminton style- out of the air and down into the net over a horizontal Trevor Fortune. In the third period the midgets took con- trol once again as Brad Carter shot the puck into the Six Nations end. The puck came back off the boards hard and the Six Nations goaltender reached for it but failed to play it, and Ray Murray picked it up and beat the goaltender before he could get himself back in position. And Brad Carter scored the final goal on what was a fine passing play between himself, Andy Ball, and Blair Beuermann. They made three quick passes over the blueline that had the Six Nations defence tied in knots, and finished the play by slipp- ing the puck to Carter in front of the net who drove it home. The final score in the game was 6-2 for Seaforth Tuesday night the Midgets took on Six Na- tions in Seaforth, and some added incentive for them was hat if they won they wouldn't have to return to Oshweken for a fifth garne. The results of that contest were not known in time for publication. Six of the Six Nations players were suspended as a result of the brawl, but what had many Seaforth fans Irina+ was that one player who apparently hit an official twice was given no suspension. Five Seaforth players were suspended in- cluding Brad Beuttenmiller, who got two games, Ray Murray, Don Brown, Scott Hoegy, and Brad Carter. Spectators felt Carter's suspension wasn't justified, because he was one of the Seaforth players who kept out of the brawl. Jr, Belles playoffs forced into third game The Seaforth Jr. Belles were defeated Fri- day when they played Huron Park for the se- cond game of the series in Seaforth. The girls lost by a score of 3-1. Seaforth though it could walk away with the game easily but was soon awakened as Huron Park counted a goal early into the first period. Both teams played fairly even throughout the first period. Seaforth tied the game up as Lisa Henderson scored the one and only goal assisted by Melissa Whitmore. It was an off night for the Seaforth squad as they had numerous shots on net but couldn't seem to get them in. Huron Park's goaltender deserves a lot of credit as she made excellent saves and kept Huron Park on top. In the second period Huron Park counted for two more goals as Seaforth was left scoreless. Seaforth needed this win to advance to the championship round. Due to the loss they were faced with a third and final game against Huron Park last night. Results of that game were unknown at press time. Petites stay in shape The Seaforth Ringette Petites played host to Mitchell for an exhibition game on Sun- day. Again Mitchell overpowered the local girls and ran away with a 7-1 victory. Scoring for Seaforth was Jill Wood, assisted by Kelly Rau. The Petites haven't played in two weeks and needed this game to help stay in shape for the Regional tour- nament in Kitchener the weekend of March 25. Men battling for broomba l l supremacy MEN'S BROOMBALL ROYALS 1- RAIDERS 0 Pete Klaver gleamed as he scored a valuable goal. Helping was Dave Vanneste and Shawn Shea. The Raiders played well considering the amount of players. Hopefully they will be fully recruited next week. DUMPERS 2- GRADS 1 Dale Kennedy got a rebound ball off the boards and drilled it through the opposing goalie's feet. Help came from Jim Finlayson and John Cairns. The goal which pulled the Dumpers into the lead came from Bill Dale who scored with a flip shot. Help came from Rick Archambault and Jim Nash. For the Grads Adrian Wydeven scored with a turbulent shot on net. Partners were John McLagan and Hugh Crawford. RUSTLERS 1- PARR LINE 2 Len Vanwanderen polished a blazing shot by the goalie with the aid of Don Wise and Roy Fisher. Don Wise got the second goal when he banked the ball off the goal post. Roy Fisher was by his side. Red Rustlers were running out of time when Tony VanMiltenburg shot from the face off and scored a goal. Help came from Art Veenstra. CH[SELHURST 1- KNIGHTS 5 All Knights' goals were accumulated in the first period with Lawrence Vink gobbl- ing up a couple of points. Thanks to brilliant passing from .Mark Louwagie, Larry Baer and Joe Dorssers. Jim Nyenhuis, on his belly, shot and scored an unbelievable goal. Help came from Ron Jamnaat and Paul Nyenhuis. Larry Bertens stepped in and also achieved a sound goal, help from competent Jerry Zwep. Chiselhurst's Don Nicholson scored with help from Dan Maloney and Blain Marks. WINTHROP 0 - RATS 3 Steve Haggitt was thrilled he hit the net to achieve the first goal for the Rats. Help came from Robert MacGregor and Robert Hunking. Brian Wilson shot from the blue line having the ball skim along the ice directly into the net unassisted. Steve Eckert Jr. dropped to his knees and with a follow through swing scored. Passing came from Ed VanMiltenburg.

First, last and only adult volleyball report. Spectacular, outstanding, sizzling, crepitating ... none of these superlatives adequately describes the action that takes place when the Wednesday group of super volleyballers takes to the court. Each week an assorted group of teachers, farmers, shop owners, domestic engineers, construction and dairy tycoons drag themselves out of warm, comfortable homes and brave the stormy weather for the sake of winning every volleyballer's dream. "THE GAME OF ALL GAMES", introduc- ed each and every week by the fearless leader Terri. They are a competitive: non- competitive league (they do count points and unfortunately there is always a winner and a loser) but because there are no set teams the coveted championship crown is continually on the move and everyone manages to go home a champion at least once during the season unless of course they happen to be unlucky enough to choose the losing team every week. This has seldom been the case. The thundering horde arrives between 8 and 8:15 p.m. - except that Dave and then it is sometimes a little later. Rushing into the gym they shuck street shoes, don runners, strap on the knee pads (to protect the old patellas), do, some forced warm-ups and head for the court to do battle. Since there are so many of the super fit, athletic type people who indulge in this fascinating sport Zone finalists advance to regional finals it would be impossible to give a blow by blow description of the games and do justice to the many giants of the league. Suffice it to say the action is a fast and furious jumble of bumps, sets, spikes, fist shots, wrist shots and some - yes they admit it - illegal volleys and net hangers. They never said they were perfect. This intense activity continued for approximately two hours and during that time the tnesion is steadily building towards that final moment in time when Terri an- nounces the "The Game of,All Games". They are poised on the edge eady to begin the GOAG but before they can start this all important game Terri must give her now famous weekly speech which goes something like this: "This is the GOAG and wnoever wins this game will go home a champion for a whole week. It does not mat- ter if you have lost every game to this point because ff you win the GOAG you are the champions. Now give me the ball. My team serves." (You will have to search long and hard to find a finer example of good sport- smanship and the democratic ideal.) If you thought the pace was fast in the earlier games it becomes positively frantic during the GOAG's swan dives onto the floor to save a point and mile high jumps to block a spike (nothing is too good for this game). However in the end one team reins vic- torious and goes home feeling like champs while the rest just go home and wait for next week and their turn at possible glory. Over the course of the season which begins in late September, a number of on court traits have emerged. Below are some of the more noticeable traits and a list of names. Can you match the name to the trait? To protect the innocent last names will not be used... they know who they are. Anna - hates to lose her serve; Rudy - Tur- bo serve; Laverne - dynamo on the court; Dave - on the floor again; Terri, volleys while protecting nose; Donna, devious one finger semi -spikes; Judy, straight arm smashes; Joanne, that couldn't have been a lift; Doug, unusual backhand wrist shot; Dawn, honest my foot never touched it; James, squishy ankles; Gail, are sure that was four times; Carol, Beware the net; Nan- cy, deadly spike; Doug, leaves early to prepare lessons; Janet, super-scooper; Gerry, a brick of a player; Rita, screams to distract others (oh shissh); Jim, side arm serves; Dianne, very competitive; Al, sacrifices the body; Mary Lou, intimidated by wife's threats; Susan, soars above all of us. If you can figure that out you are definite- ly genius material. A precautionary note: Beware when leaving the school, small white objects have been known to drop mysteriously from the sky adding confusion to already confused minds. Cheryl Ann if you read this please send a special hello from all of us to James. We miss you and wish you were here.
