drama which was written, pro-

Work last Wednesday evening.
Ypu couldn't call it entertain-
ment, and perhaps the story
could have been told just as effec-
tively in 60 minutes; it seemed to
be just too much.for the average
mind to tolerate.
But if 90 minutes of it 'seemed
long to us, how much longer must
nine days have been for the men
and the families waiting outside
who lived through this horror?
Kelly deals primarily with the
men, the courage' they must
maintain, the despair that so
many times drives them to sheer
panic, to tearful resignation, tc
drunken -like stupors and hys-
teria, then to quiet acceptance
when they look back over their
lives and examine, their feelings
and beliefs as never before. When

If you were one of the many
who watched "Chariots of the
Gods" on Sunday evening, the
12th, you will be interested in
learning that it has prompted the
largest favorable response of any
television program in the history
of the CBC. As of March 16, more
than 3,300 calls to the CBC, about
200 to the sponsor, Shell Oil, and
several letters have praised the
special which was based on a
book of the same name. The CBC
received about 20 calls that found
fault with the show ; most of these
because the production was tele-
vised on a Sunday. Because of
such a response, chances are
high that the show will be repeat-
ed.

WINNERS OF THE "AAA." consolation trophy, Ottawa !. omstocks pose with the trophy after defeating
Buffalo 2-1
Waterloo, OriI1ia,M�aford, Durham
win tournament championship awards
Teams from the United States
and from the more.distant-points
of Ontario entered in the Lock -
ridge Memorial Midget Tourna-
ment held at the Wingham arena
Tuesday to Sunday enjoyed their
stay here but went home empty-
handed, as far as the major tro-
phies were concerned.
Detroit, considered by many as
the favorite for the "Triple A"
championship, showed signs of
repeating past successes when
they defeated Ottawa -6-2 and
London 5-1 to reach the final
game Sunday afternoon.
When they met Waterloo at that
time it was the end of the road as
Waterloo won 4-2. In fairness to
the Detroit team it should be
mentioned they were short-
handed for the final due to sus-
pensions picked up in the game
with London.
The Ontario team instituted a
program of harassment, illegal
checking and boarding to spark a
fight which developed into a mild
free-for-all, resulting in London
and Detroit players being ousted.
Waterloo became stronger as
the game progressed and in the
last 10 minutes Detroit tired
badly, enabling Waterloo to score
goals at 16:50; -and ..1.8:30,;give
'them sufficient margin
Detroit opened the scoring at
1:05 of thefirst then Waterloo tied
it.at 8:57, then Detroit came back
with another goal a minute later
with Waterloo bringing the teams -
on even terms at 15:29.
This garzie produced much fast
.hockey, excellent goalkeeping
and up to the last three minutes
was a clean game. Detroit, tired
and frustrated, lost their desire to
plays' hockey and as ti result
picked up a succession of penal-
ties.
Waterloo had no trouble with
the Toronto, team in theirfirst

` feated Lucknow 7-2 then entered
the house league tournament at
St. Marys where'they were elimi-
nated 3-2 by . Listowel, Ricky
MacLennan scored both goals fbr
Wingham.
When Durhatn failed to appear
for the next game against Mount
Forest, the Winghatn team re-
turned to the ice for an exhibition
game with Mount Forest to help
fill the schedule. The game ended
in a 1-1 tie. The All -Stars were
coached by Doug Foxton.
game, shutting out the small -
built team 12-0, then dumped
Stratford 6-2.
Orillia Wins
Orillia doubled the score on the
entry from Chicago, winning the
"A" series championship by a
score of 8-4. ,The boys from Illi-
nois showed definite strength in
their first two games, defeating
Etobicoke 7-2 and the strong
Barrie club 8-5; but were not as
effective in the final;
Orilla led 3-0 at the end of the
first period, 4-2 at the end of the
second and scored three more in
the third with Chicago only able
to count twice.
Oritlia outscored Dunnville 6-1
and Owen Sound 8-5 on their way
into the final Sunday afternoon.
Meaford defeated Niagara -on -
the -Lake 3-2 to capture the "B"
championship. Each team scored
once in the first period then Nia-
gara scored in the second to take
the lead, but Meaford had much
the better of the play in the third
and counted twice.
The Niagara -on -the -Lake team
defeated a strong Clinton club 6-5
and shut -out Wingham 6-0
earlier, and Meaford had the
better of the play against New
Hamburg, ,winning 6-4 and out-
scored Listowel 6-5 to progress
into the final game.
"C" Champions
Durham had a relatively easy
path into the "C" championship
game, getting the decision by de-
fault against Point Edward who
failed to show, then defeating
Watford 7-4 to put them in the
mood for a 4-2 win against Forest.
Forest defeated Harriston 8-1
in their first game but had
trouble with Kincardine before
managing to eke out a win by a 2-.
1 margin.
The Wingham entry defeated
Brussels 6-4 in their first game
Tuesday night then were shut -out
by Niagara -on -the -Lake 6-0 early
Thursday afternoon. Brussels
should be commended for coming
into the tournament at the last
moment as a replacement for
Walkerton who reneged on their
agreement.
Consolation finals provide
four exciting hockey games
Lucknow Midget Hockey Club
was the only area aggregation
able to collect one of the trophies
at the Lockridge Memorial'
Tournament, • winning • the
consolation award.
They defeated Harriston 8-6 in
the final Thursday night in a
game which provided flashes of
good hockey and• lots of -excite-I
ment. Supporters from the re-
spective towns helped build up
the -,Spirit ofrivalry.
Lucknow defeated Lucan 5-3
and Harriston shut -out Milverton
4-0 to reOch the top- bracket.
In the "B" division Graven-
hurst and Clinton staged a real
cliff-hanger Saturday night with
the,game ending in a 6-6 tie after
10 minutes of overtime.
The teams were tied 3-3 at the
end of the second period then the
Muskoka squad moved ahead 5-3
only to have Clinton surge back
with three to hold a one -goal mar-
gin until Gravenhurst tied the
game 6-6 with 92 seconds of play-
ing time remaining.
Under tournament rules, shots
on goal during the overtime had
to decide the outcome and judges
Bill Lockridge and Roger West
gave Gravenhurst the nod on the
basis of a record of 9 shots as
against 6 credited to Clinton.
Gravenhurst lost 6-4.to Listowel
then defeated New Hamburg 5-2
and Clinton overcame Brussels
10-2 then lost to Niagara -on -the -
Lake 6-5 to qualify for the conso-
lation °final. •
Dunnville proved a popular
winner of the't`A" series consola-
tion trophy; defeating Wilton
Grove 7-2 Saturday night,
The Lakeshore town team out-
classed Elmira in their first
game to win 6-2 then ran into
serious trouble with Orillia who
outscored them 6-1. Wilton Grove
defeated Etobicoke 8-1 and were
edged 2-1 by Barrie in their sec-
ond game.
The "Triple A". division
brought together the so-called top
teams in the tournament and
Ottawa and Buffalo served up. a
good game Saturday. night which
included hard' checking to have
Ottawa win 2-1.
The team from the nation's
capital lost' to Detroit 6-2 then de-
feated Brampton 4-3 to reach the
final while Buffalo were out-
classed by Stratford and lost 6-2
then, came back to ease out the
rather small Toronto entry 4-3.
Attendance at the final games
Saturday could only be classed as
fair, certainly far short of the
Saturday night game last year
when Wingham were in the
running.
