Arthur Intermediates won their protest and forced a fifth game with the Wingham Mohawks last week, but it didn't do them much good on Monday night when the local sextet flattened, them 9-3 to take the best- of-seven series in five straight games. Wingham will now meet Harriston in the finals—unless Arthur has any more protests up their sleeve. The protest arose over the fact that Johnny Crewson wore an assis­ tant captain’s sweater in a previous game with Arthur when, according to the rule book, a playing coach is allowed to act either as captain or assistant captain. The Wingham club contended that Crewson had never signed as playing coach and that no captain or assistant had been named at any time, but their objection was brushed aside by WOAA officials who decreed that the game would have to be re-played. Adding to the con­ fusion was the fact that although Crewson had previously played in the same sweater, the protest was not entered until Arthur had lost its fourth straight game In the best-of- seven series. In Monday’s game the locals proved that protests notwithstanding they were '•superior to anything Arthur could produce. Bill Hilbert drew first blood in the opening frame, with Neil Stainton getting a pair of beautiful counters within a minute, on assists from Doug Murray. In the second frame Arthur got two but Wingham added three more to their tally, putting the score at 6-2. In the fin^l frame the locals tallied three more to one for Arthur. Top scorers for Wingham were Neil Stainton and Maurice Stainton, with three each. • Hilbert, Ritter and Lloyd got singles. Doug Murray, former juvenile, turned in an out­ standing game' for the Intermediates with four assists, and Gary Storey, juvenile iletminder, did a wonderful chore in goal.
