Senior Redmen win again Wrestlers fifth BY NOLA LEE On Friday, Feb. 11. the C.H.S.S. wrestling team finished fifth out of 10 schools in the Huron-Perth finals. Exeter placed first in the tournament. Rick Shropshall placed first in the 157 lb, class. Tom Archibald, Kevin Swan and Brenton Craig finished third in their weight divisions, while Digby Howse and Paul Wheeler placed fourth, BY NOLA LEE The Senior team played. Listowel two weeks ago, and dumped them 70 to 51. Clinton had the lead right from the beginning, giving Central six wins and one BY BERT CLIFFORD A solid defensive effort earned he Mustangs a big win over Exeter Hawks last Sunday night. the win evened the series (a best if seven affair) at one game each, Clinton's big line of Stu Mustard, Bill Stirling and Ron lraham returned to their early season form when they lead the eague in points, Mustard was set up beautifully iy Ron Graham after only one ninute and two seconds of play in he first period to put the Mustangs on the scoreboard. Chen it was Graham's turn to ;core on a powerplay with two Exeter men in the penalty box. rust before his shot went in, Bustard and Stirling had had :lear shots but John Hayter had :icked them aside. At 10:47 of the opening period, :oath Bill Weber threw out his ower line when Perry Stover milt off for hooking. Less than a ninute later Stirling hustled the lick into the Exeter end, passed iver to Mustard who then relayed perfect pass across in front of layter to Ron Graham who was lying in from the side and lammed the puck under Hayter nto the net. The goal proved to be he winner. Clinton had the edge in play 'ver the opening period and goalie 'red German came up with some reat saves. Exeter picked up six enalties in the first period ncluding a five-minute major to 3rian Bestard at 19:39. After tilling off the major penalty, Exeter came to life and took advantage of two Clinton penalties o close the score to 3-2. With defenceman Gary 3ummings off for high sticking at i:21, Exeter's Ron Lindenfield 'inished off a nice passing play by 3rian Campbell and Pete Glover with a wicket shot into the far -ight side of the net. Again at 15:18 the Exeter mwerplay produced a goal this. ime Steve Murley.... caught. linton's defence up the ice and roke in for a shot from two feet ut. The referees called three penalties in the period, all to Clinton. Throughout the period Exeter bembarded German with 18 shots to only six for the Clinton shooters at the other end. Goalie German made the first of three clear breakaway saves of big Bob Rowe, Rowe had two more breakaways in the third but found German unbeatable. The Mustangs reached down and gave a little extra in the third as Exeter tried everything to pull out a tie. Rowe came out of the penalty box and slipped behind Jim Cameron and Bill McDougall but German stopped him again. Big John McKinley helped to take off the pressure midway through the third when he picked up a loose puck in back of Hayter and with his long reach the Exeter defencedidn't know which way to chase him. He tried to jam the puck in but Hayter kicked it out. On the play. defenceman Jim Cameron had moved into the slot and he stole the puck from an Exeter stick and passed to Paul Johnson. Johnson banged the puck along the ice into the net for a big insurance goal It was the first goal of Johnson's playoff' action. The big crowd had a taste of playoff fever from that point on. Exeter picked up four penalties in three minutes and Clinton on. The two goalies made some unbelievable stops. First German turned aside three straight breakaways, then Hayter, lying flat on the ice, raised his stick enough to block a sure goal by Gary Cummings. Cummings, who had sat out for six weeks because of a broken jaw and Bill McDougall helped kill three back-to-back penalties from 14:23 to 16:25. Coach Weber alternated Stirling and Mustard and Gord Riley up front and used Zeke Fremlin to give the defensive pair a breather. With the return of Cummings, to the lineup, Weber has juggled his defence and now has Cummings and Fremlin with Jervis alternating with Fremlin ,and two rock and sock boys,, Bill McDougall and Jim Cameron. Even though these combinations are extremely young in age, they played like veterans on Sunday night. The defensive work and German's hot goaltending was the difference between the 4-2 win and the 9-6 losS on Friday night in Exeter. Exeter outmusclecl the Mustangs and outscored them by one extra goal in each of the periods. Assistant captain Stu Mustard hit for four goals but it was not enough. Linemate Ron Graham assisted on four of the six goals and scored one himself in the second period. Winger Bill Stirling scored the opening goal in the first period and assisted on one of Mustard's goals. Clinton was down 5-3 going into the third period when Mustard wrapped in two goals to tie the score. Exeter went ahead on a fluke goal which bounced off Greg Jervis when he tried to clear it away. Brian Bestard also scored four goals in the game including the winner and the first insurance goal. The Mustangs could have pulled the game out but lack of playoff experience really showed late in the game and early nervousness by most of the team members helped Exeter buildup a lead. MANAGER'S NOTES BY BERT: I must say I was proud of the turnout at our first playoff game on Sunday night. A good half of the crowd was from Exeter but with all the activities of the Winter Carnival, I am sure many of our potential fanS were just too tired to come out Sunday. If the series continues with the tempo of the first two games, I expect to see over 1000 fans at Our next games, Let's get behind these boys and give them your support. This year the club is being operated by the Minor Hockey Association and is run completely separate financially from the miner teams. Something which will come is the cheering on the team. Exeter fans are pros. They have had great successes in the past five years with their juniors and have built up quite a following. This Friday night bring out the cow bell8 and noise makers and let's hear you.
