With this fourth straight win the Arthur Eagles had rather easily eliminated the Ironmen from further playoff actions. It was a very happy Arthur team and large crowd of sup- porters which hit the ice surface at the final whistle. League convener Tom Shepard from Walkerton was on hand to present the group trophy to Arthur's captain who hoisted it over his head and skated around the ice to the screaming victory cry of the Arthur supporters. WHISTLE STOPS -- Think the Arthur team won this champion- ship when they bowed to the Iron - men in last year's seventh and final game . . . Yes the Eagles were certainly up for every game. They played their hearts out as a team. They checked, checked and checked. They just never stopped skating, and their defence, led by Fred Locking and that little fellow with the smirk- ing smile, John Bell, played superbly . . . It appeared as though Arthur's defence had set up a domain of their own and any Ironmen stepping into that ten - foot circular area around the net was fair game to be taken out and taken out they were . . . The Ironmen goal tending was great but you just don't win games without goals. In the four games Arthur outscored the Ironmen 24- 5. The Ironmen only had five goals in four games, proof that Arthur goalies, both Rick Taylor and Lyle Hamilton, were cer- tainly carrying extra horseshoes and wide goal posts at their sides . . . To the Ironmen we say a "thank you" for the exciting hockey dished up. To the Arthur Screaming Eagles, we will be following your future series and as truly worthy group champions• we know with ^ your good goal tending, solid defence and ever skating forwards; it's going to take a good team to put you down. In the final Ironmen 50-50 draw the winner of the big prize of $150.00 was a regular Ironmen fan, Hap Swatridge. Consolation awards were won by Edna Mae Armstrong and A. Benninger of Formosa. SENIOR LADIES' AFTERNOON LEAGUE Having a great afternoon at Monday's session was Yvonne McPherson who came up with the high single of 209 and high double of 350. Those bowling doubles of 300 or over were M. Hastings 307; A. Cameron 345; W. Kerr 329; E. Williams 312; A. Conn 306; M. McKinney 303; K. Murray 316. Flying ahead by leaps and bounds are the. Canaries who are up to 81 now. Competing for second place are three teams, the Wrens holding it now at 55, the Bluebirds at 52 and the Flamingos at 51. The Nightin- gales have 43 and the Robins 33. Thanks to the spares who help the league each week. Belmore The McIntosh United Church junior choir will take part in the Singtime program on Sunday, March 23. On Fri s' y night the Arthur Screaming Eagles swarmed into town and before the evening was over they had handed the Iron - men a 7-0 loss. With this fourth straight win they flew home with the Tri -County Trophy, em- blematic of group championship. The Eagles came to play and in 22 seconds Wayne Rooney's goal got them on the score sheet. The Ironmen roared back but time and time again they were thrown back at the goal line with some sensational goaltending by Rick Taylor. At 8:21 Arthur went two up when Wayne Rooney caught the Ironmen defence napping. After 20 minutes, despite the fact the Ironmen had carried the play, in fact having held the play in the Arthur end for the most of the period, lady luck was just not on their side. They were on the short end of a 2-0 score at the end of the first. Second period action saw the Ironmen continue to carry the play but a solid Arthur defence and goal posts which rang with regularity lust wouldn't give a goal to get the Hronmen started. With the Ironmen on the of- fensive, Arthur, with goals by Fred Locking, Cal MacDonald and John Weber went ahead 5-0 in the second. In the third Arthur came out with a quick goal by Cal Mac- Donald at 1:52 and that goal seemed to drive the nail in the Ironmen's coffiq. But the boys didn't give up. They continued to skate hard and play the puck which just wouldn't co-operate. At 10:10 Larry Woods dented the twine with the final goal of the game and for the second game in Arthur Eagles edge Ironman on 3-2 count - It was exciting playoff hockey John Henderson and without a in the Arthur arena on Thursday doubt were the best line on the night and despite a good effort ice. They were sent out to check the Ironmen came out on the short end- of a close 3 to 2 score. Wingham jumped into the lead at 6:31 as the power play paid off with a goal by Barry O'Krafka, assists going to Phil Paquette and. Carl Stanley. In th t first period the Ironmen certai carried the play and it looked lik period would end with the Ir en ahead, but such was not t be. With the teams playing five a 'de_ late in the period Arthur's Brian belie played a whale of a game on Halls tied the count at one apiece the Ironmen defence and both with his goal at 18:40. • Ironmen goalie Benny Blackwell The second period was a de- and Arthir's goalie, Lyle Hamil- light for the large crowd on hand. ton were spectacular throughout There were plenty of end-to-end the game ... Ironmen ranks were rushes and goal tending at both further weakened as high -flying ends was just sensational. Nary a Gerry Wheeler. came out of the goal for the first 19 minutes, but game on the limp. with less than a minute to play in the period Arthur's Fred Locking got a big one at 19:08. The teams went to the -dressing rooms with Arthur, although outplayed in those first two periods, still nurs- ing a 2 to 1 lead. The Ironrnen hit the ice in the tteed_on the,.,xnove aed _ obitk4 ued to carry the play but just couldn't put the puck in the net. At -6:47 a bad bounce from the back boards ended up on Brad Rundle's stick and he fired it home to send Arthur ahead 3 to 1. But the local boys didn't give up and kept skat- ing and only some great saves by Arthur's goalie, Lyle Hamilton, kept the Ironmen from closing the gap. At 15:09 the Ironmen made it 3 to 2, It was one of those wierd goals. With the faceoff in the Arthur end to the right of the net, the Arthur centre flipped the puck from the faceoff towards the Arthur net. The puck hit a bump caused by the curling foothold, took a crazy change of direction andended in the^'corner of the net. The goal was credited to Barry MacDonald and with the count 3 to 2 the Ironmen were right back in the game. With just over a minute left in the game, coach George Skinn pulled his goalie and sent out six attackers. They blasted every- thing at that Arthur goal but just couldn't even the count. With this 3 to 2 win Arthur had a commanding 3 to 0 lead in the best of seven series. WHISTLE STOPS—The Iron - men certainly deserved a win in this one but hot goal tending beat them ... The regular ranks were missing four regular performers with Doug Leitch and Steve Cas- lick out because of exams and players Bob Johnston and Steve Ste. Marie in the hospital, coach George Skinn called up from the midget ranks Paul Skinn and Jim McGee. This duo flanked centre Arthur's big line of Cal Mac- Donald, Dave Densmore and Wayne Rooney, and they got the job done. Not only did they keep them off the score sheet but these Ironmen, with any. kind of luck around the net, could have had two or three goals ... The Arthur Eagles tested Jim McGee with a couple of good checks but Jim dished out some rather good checks himself . . .
