"Springhill," a 90 -minute - drama which was written, pro- d'aced and directed by Kelly, was shown on the CBC television net - 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.

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. • THUR. - FRI.

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 AIS -Stems win and tie games The All -Stars from the Wing - ham Novice House League de- ` 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. 4 MEMBERS OF THE Gravenhurst Braves are served doughnuts by Karen Smith, one of the girls helping serve food after each game. —Staff Photo. i 311HE ALM" 31:111 3IC Phone 291-3070 LISTOWEL, ONTARIO DOORS OPEN AT 7 pan.- SHO r NG ,DAILY AT 7:15 p.m. AND 9:15 p.m. 0 Saturday Matin..
