Sailors trail Mildmay
BY DAVE SYKES
There are only two
goals separating the
Mildmay Monarchs and
Goderich Sailors after
three OHA Intermediate
C playoff games but the
Sailors trail in the series
by one game.
The Monarchs jumped
in front by two games
with a 5-4 double over-
time win here Wednesday
and added victory
number two in the series
with a 6-5 win in
Goderich.
Goderich got back in
the series with a 5-4 win in
Mildmay Sunday on two
third period goals.
The fourth game of the
series was played in
Goderich Wednesday
with the fifth game going
in Mildmay, Friday. If a
sixth game is necessary it
will be played in
(naturally
speaking
Goderich, Sunday at 2
p.m.
The first game of the
series seems to have set
the tone for the best -of -
seven set between the
teams as Mildmay won 5-
4 in the second overtime
period.
There was no scoring in
the first period and the
teams traded two goals
each in the second period
and one in the third. Paul
Kelly and Scott Parks
scored second period
goals for Goderich and
Dan Duncan forced the
overtime with the tying
goal late in the third
period.
Mildmay pulled ahead
in the first overtime but
Duncan again forced an
additional overtime
period scoring with 1.40
remaining in the first
overtime session. '
Mildmay finally
Too many people put a lot of time, effort and
money into choosing what they feel is the perfect
rifle, and then handicap themselves by putting
the wrong scope, or no scope at all on it. I can
never understand why a person would purchase
a .300 Winchester magnum, and use it with open
sights or why anyone would put a six or eight
power scope on a 30-30 lever. action.. There is no
such thing as a perfect all around' rifle -scope
combination, but there are some pretty fair
compromises available.
The choice of your scope will, of course, be
dictated by -the type of hunting you do. There is,
of course, a place and situation for every power
of scope manufactured today but it would be
impossible to cover all of them in this column.
Telescopic sights for rifles that are used for both
big game and varmints; however, must fall
within certain guidelines.
The scope for the dual purpose rifle must:
have a reticle that is easy to see in heavy cover,
uto block out varmints at
but notbe socoarse e as
a s
longer ranges; be light enough to carry easily
when big game hunting; be low enough in
magnification (thus have a wide field of view) to
use in thick brush for big game; and be high
enough in magnification to be effective on
varmints at longer ranges. This may sound like a
lot to ask for, but you must remember that
hunters .have been asking for it for years. The
'result of this pressure is the development of two
scopes that, in my opinion, meet all the,
requirements needed.
In my opinion, the two to seven power variable
is the perfect scope for the varminter that
becdmes a once a year big game rifle. The top
magnification of 7X is an excellent choice for
groundhogs and other pests at the longish ranges
usually encountered, while the bottom end of the
scale provides a wide field of view for use in
thi' kly wooded areas. The Dual X crosshairs are
probably the best choice as the heavy section is
quite easy to pick up even in poor light yet the
thin center portion is fine enough to allow ac-
curate shooting at small targets. I choose the 2X
to 7X over the 3X to 9X, not only for the lower
magnification, but for the significant weight
difference in the two scopes. Those few ounces
may not mean much when strolling across a cow
pasture, but when you're slugging through a
muskeg swamp in search of a big moose for your
freezer, those ounces quickly begin to feel like
pounds.
The big game rifle that serves as an occasional
varminter is a horse of a slightly different
colour. While the average hunter who only gets
to go after ;big game once a year for a week will
put up with a little extra weight, the serious
trophy hunter demands that his rifle be as light
and as easy to handle as possible. This is where
the 1.5X to 4.5X shines. These scopes are short,
light and provide one of the largest fields of view
available. The Dual X reticle is again probably
the best choice. I personally prefer the European
style reticle (same as the Dual X, but minus the
top heavy post), but Leupold is the only company
I know in North America that manufactures it.
The 4.5 power magnification is adequate for any
varmint shooting done with this type of light-
weight rifle.
If you own a rifle without a scope, this is a good
time to think about putting one on. Before you
jump; however, put a little thought into it. If you
choose either the 2X to 7X or the 11AX to 41AX,
you won't go toofar wrong.

Keith Lerch scored in the
second overtime to boost
the Monarchs into a one -
game lead. -
The Monarchs came
from behind in the second
game scoring three goals
in the final period, to
erase a 4-3 Goderich lead
after two periods, and
win 6-5.
The Sailors got a first
period goal from Duncan
and second period goals
from Dirk Wolterbeeck,
Paul Kelly and Paul Rau,
to hold a 4-3 lead after two
periods. But the
Monarchs outscored the
Sailors 3-1 in the final 20
minutes to claim a two -
game lead in the series.
Ken Meriam scored the
lone third period goal for
Goderich.
The Sailors got back in
the series in a must win
situation in the ' third
game scoring two goals in
the final period to win 5-4.
The game started out
as an offensive contest
with each team scoring
three goals in the first
priod. Rick Fremlin
scored two first period
goals for Goderich and
Paul Kelly added the
other.
Mildmay took the lead
for the first time in the
game in the second°
period with Jim Wendt
scoring on a power play.
The Sailors avenged the
Monarch's third period
comeback in the second
game, scoring two goals
in the span of two minutes
to clinch the win. Kelly
tied the game midway
through the final period
after converting a pass
from team-mate Jim
Hayter and Murray
Henderson scored the
winning goal just two
minutes later.
Jim Fr and Dennis

have been
alternating in goal for the
Sailors during the
series.
There were plenty of handshakes last Sunday af-
ternoon, as the Clinton pee wees ended their hockey
season with a 3-0 loss to the Wingham team,
eliminating them from any further playoff action.
Clinton lost the best -of -three WOAA semi-final
series two games straight to a strong and talented
Wingham team. (News -Record photo)

Ramblings from the races
By Lois Gibbings
Dapper Dillon, owned
by Doreen Rowcliffe of
Hensall and Barry Elliott
of Kitchener, is off to an
excellent start again this
season.
The speedy eight-year-
old gelding has earnings
already this year of
$26,750 from eight starts,
including one win, two
seconds, twice fourth and
fifth. In his last start, he
finished fifth in an Open
Trot for a purse of $30,000
at Roosevelt Raceway
with John Chapman.
Last year, Dapper
Dillon- started 26 times
with seven wins, three
seconds and four thirds
for $76,750 and his best
time was 2:01.1. Lifetime
he has total purse money
of $259,660 and a record of
2:00.2. George F. Elliott
of Clinton must be very
proud of this fine trotter
by Dapper Hill and his
broodmare Ann Key as
well as Dillon Song that
he also raised.
While trotting, Dillon
Song, the gelded son of
Josies Victory -Ann Key,
had earnings of $148,221
and a `record best of
2:03.1. Last summer he
started a new career as a
pacer with five wins and
a third from nine starts,
including a mark of p,
2:07.2 for George's son
Barry, his present owner.
Dillon Song is now 14 -
years -old ears -old and will be
forced to retire at the end
of this year, but he
proved he is not finished
yet when he won the
unions plan reunion
The, Clinton Junior "C"
hockey team are plan-
ning a reunion for March
24, when the "oldtimers"
will take on this year's
team, followed by a
dance. '
Planned by the.
executive, the event,
which they hope will
become an annual affair,
starts at 7 p.m. when the
graduates take on the
Mustangs in what has
been call the "Team
Series".
According to Club
member Robin Thom-
pson, who is trying to
round up old players
since the team went
Junior "C" in the fall of
1974, 36 have graduated,
and so many are wanting
to return to play that
guide lines will have to be
established for another
year.
' "It may be 'necessary
to restrict the alumni to
those who have played a
minimum of one year, or
perhaps impose a waiting
period of one or two years
before a graduate can
return or do like the big
time and have the fans
select the first six players
that they want to see, and
have the coach select the
rest, or draw names out
of a hat for the first six
defence and first nine
forwards etc.," said Mr.
Thompson.
The former Clinton
players are spread out
from coast to coast, said
Mr. Thompson.
"Remember six-foot,
five -inch, 240 pound Dave
Watt? He's now in
Toronto working for
Endolux Industries. Or
how about Barry Lane?
He's working in
Edmonton," said Mr.
Thompson.
But other stars in-
cluding Bill Irwin from
Essex, Robert Heard
from Hamilton, Ken
Robinson from Stratford,
and many, many more '
are returning, and it is
hoped that Frank Slota
can be persuaded to
referee.
