The Mohawks won game three, 7-3. won game three 7-3. Thursday in Dunnville, the Mo- hawks were pushed all over the ice, but on their home turf, they turned the tables. "Even teams that aren't known as physical have to be capable of playing physical, they have to adapt, said Exeter coach Dave Revington after Saturday's game. The Mudcats put a big scare into the very large crowd as they got on the board first when Glen Cze- pek was left alone at the side of the net. But while Bill Glover was tying up two Mudcats' in front of their own net, Arts blasted one from the point to tie the game. Dunnville went back in front on Mike Dun - horn's goal before Exeter scored twice to take the lead. With Scott Allemang off for butt -ending, Tim Fritz tied it up just 12 seconds into the power- play. Exeter knocked on the door and with 6:57 left in the second, Dunnville defenceman Bob Spring- er covered the puck in his own crease setting up a dramatic penalty shot. Tim Shields was given the hon - 'our and he had no problem beating Larry Wolfe to make it 3-2. Shields and the Mohawks contin- ued to dominate in the second as he scored two more and the home team built a 6-2 lead after 40 min- utes. "It's about time," said Shields af- ter the game. "I've been in a slump, 'I got a couple of good chances and made the most of them. For Shields, it was his first hat trick since peewee. Although he wasn't on the receiv- ing end of too many hits by the Mudcats, he said it was a physical Biddulph team tops Middlesex STRATHROY - The boys bas- ketball team of Biddulph Central School which won their area 5 championship a few weeks ago, "' went on to defeat all comers at the Middlesex County championships on Saturday at Southdale School in Strathroy.

"It was typical Dunnville..cheap shots, but we took them out of the game." McCarter, who along with Fritz are known as the Brussels Sprouts, scored in the second period while Bitner answered for the visitors. The only goal in the third period cane when Exeter centre Jeff Shipley muscled his way in and baclOianded it high into the net. Dunnille spent a lot more time in the penalty box than the Mohawks which allowed Exeter to score four powerplay tallies. Big Rob Moore and Dunnville's Allemag wrestled to the ice near the end of the game and McCarter and Dunnville bad boy Gerry McSorley were ejected earlier in the third period. "We expected it to be physical. We knew they'd come out hitting," said Dunnville assistant coach Dave Bowden. "We were missing a few people and that hurt the offense," he said. Exeter had Gord Brooks, Greg Snyder, Wayne Urbshott and Joe Scherer, all big goal scorers out of the . lineup but still managed to score seven times. "If we get our offense in gear, we should be able to score at least five goals each game," said Revington. Game Two The trip to Dunnville was a long one Thursday night as the Mo- hawks lost 5-1 and slipped behind two games to none. Playing in the smaller arena, the host Mudcats played a much more physicalgame then the visitors. They banged on the boards and led 1-0 at the end of the opening peri- od. Dunnville built a 2-0 lead on a second period powerplay before Brooks put Exeter on the board. Brooks was later taken off the ice when he was checked from behind by Dale Booker. The Mudcats con- tinued to dominate and in the third period scored three times. Bitner led the winners scoring at- tack as he netted a hat trick while Robertson and Mike Dunham also got the puck past Rick Pikul. Pikul played well in net but after the fifth goal was replaced by Paul Woolford. The rookie netminder came in and in less than a couple of minutes slashed Bitner. The Mud - cat took offence and both were ejected for fighting. Due to injuries Exeter had only 14 skaters. Of those, Moore was playing with a bad leg and it was the first game back for Richard Hawkins after sitting out a three game suspension. ame: One Dunnville scored four goals in the ten-minute overtime to win the opener 7-3 last Tuesday night at the South Huron Recreation Centre. The week's layoff seemed to be effecting Exeter as they were not their normal offensivley aggressive selves. Czepek and Andy Williams led the Mudcats with two goals each. Czepek's f tally was the nicest goal of the t as he put a big move on Chet outure and then got it past Pikul. But instead of cele- brating with his teammates, he re- trieved the puck out of the net and threw it at the Mohawk fans. He was given a ten-minute miscon- duct. Gerry Gagnon, Tyne and Kelly also scored for Dunnville. Cord Brooks, Greg Snyder and newcom- er Clarke Singer answered for Exet- er. McSorley wielded his stick pretty freely and speared Rick Lambert at ' least twice. Referee Claude Daw failed to call it but he was kept busy giving 67 minutes in penalties to Exeter and 77 to the visitors. The team also won the Parkhill Lions Club Tournament on Febru- ary 23. Their record for the season was 23 wins and no losses. Sunday Now Available Lottery Centre 6/49 6/39 *************** Available Sundays Only $1.25 ,Including G.S.T.

For most people buying a new home is the single biggest purchase they will ever make. And if you're like most of the people I meet, you want to know that your new home will be well constructed to give you years of comfortable, energy efficient living. As a builder, people always ask me, "How do I know my new home will be built to the highest standards?” It's a good question. Because while all homes are built to building code standards, there is only one type of home that's been {+' a a special designation because it exceeds the building code to make it more energy effident. In fact, It's so energy effluent that Ontario Hydro highly recommends it. It's called the R2000 home. Seen from the street it looks like any other home. So what makes it so special? It's the way it's built. For example, R2000 homes are constructed with a greater attention to detail. This creates a more comfortable, even temperature in your home that also eliminates drafts and cold spots. And because of extra insula- tion and good quality doors and windows, R2000 homes reduce noise from neighbours and outside traffic. Is clean, fresh air important to you and your family? The R2000 home lets you control the ventilation in your home. For example, you don't have to open the window for fresh air, the ventilation system will ensure a continuous supply at, all times by exhausting the stale s indoor air and replacing it with fresh outdoor air. ! " But there is one thing you must know. Builders must receive special training to build R2000 homes. And to ensure your home is built to official R2000 standards, it is individ- ually inspected and given its own certificate. So look for the R2000 symbol, it's your way of knowing that the home you buy is a better built home. For more information about R2000 homes, call 'the certified R2000 builder listed below.
