Playoff predictions
What started out to be an excellent season
for the accuracy of my CFL predictions has
turned into one of mediocrity. At one point in
the season, Rod's Report on Sports was 10
games above .500 but now my record stands
at 34-30, only four games above water!
Calgary blows playoff bid
"We've been unpredictable all year. The
games we should win, we lose, and games
we should lose, we win. I don't know what
the answer is. I've got seven months to
figure it out." The words of Calgary
defensive lineman James West summed up
his team's performance after they were
beaten 27-23 by Saskatchewan Roughriders
last weekend.
Does anyone remember that lousy third
down snap to Mike McTague by the Calgary
centre Ted Milian that cost the Stampeders
the game and the final playoff position in the
west? There's no excuse for a play like that
with less than a minute left in a game of
such importance. Calgary will indeed have
seven months to lick their wounds and ask
themselves what went wrong.
Ruoff puts boot to Cords
Momentum was definitely against
Hamilton going into Montreal last weekend.
In all sincerity, the Tabbies deserved to lose
it. Fortunately all Hamilton needed was a
tie - and they got it.
Dieter Brock didn't not stand out in the
game as the outstanding player, in fact
throughout the game he could be seen
scrambling for his life from the Concorde
defenders. Hamilton's offensive line was
weak and could hurt their chances of going
anywhere in the playoffs. Once again
veteran kicker Bernie Ruoff proved to be the
hero for Hamilton, booting a 39 -yard field
goal with 45 seconds left to play.
Playoff Preview
Hamilton at Ottawa
This is a match -up that could be decided
yRod Hilts
by the physical condition of Ottawa quar-
terback J.C. Watts. Watts, who has been out
of action since Oct. 23 with ligament damage
to his left thumb, is expected to ready for
Sunday's game.
If Watts isn't 100 per cent for the game,
Hamilton stands a good chance at pulling an
upset.
Another question that comes to mind is,
Can the Hamilton offensive line stop
Ottawa's strong front four? This could be
the difference in the ball game depending on
Watt's status.
Ottawa wanted to face the Cords and not
the Ticats in the semi-final game. I look for
an upset!

Edmonton at Winnipeg
Edmonton is in the playoffs by the skin of
their teeth. Now it's time to watch out for.the
Eskies! Remember they're the team with
experience.
After the beating Toronto handed the Blue
Bombers last week, it's surprising to see
that Winnipeg finished second in the west.
Clements is far from being at his best as he's
recovering from an injury. Hufnagel is a
back up quarterback at best. Edmonton's
experience alone should be enough for
victory.

Prior to Clinton Mustang's game last
Sunday against the Hanover Barons, goal
tending and team defense had been a
problem area. The team had given up 76
goals in nine games. On Sunday Jim Terry,
a former goal tender with the Tilsonburg
Junior C's, was in goal for Clinton and he
sparkled. Terry faced 52 shots as the
Mustangs and the Barons skated to a 4-4 tie.
According to Mustang Manager Wayne
Wiggins, Clinton is protesting the game
because they feel Hanover goal tender Tim
Peart was ineligible to play. The league's
ruling on the protest should be available
near the end of the week.
In Hanover, the Barons scored a goal with
one minute and 44 seconds remaining in the
third period to salvage a 4-4 tie.
Hanover scored 1:43 seconds into the
game when Gary Rouw won a draw deep in
Clinton territory. Rouw skated around
centreman Randy Marriage and blasted a
shot past Terry.
The Mustangs tied the score four minutes
later when Tom Smith skated In alone on
Peart and beat him between the pads. Brad
Hymers and Jim Mathers assisted on the
play.
In the second period, the Barons
capitalized early on a powerplay op-
portunity. With Darryl Madge in the penalty
box serving a delay -of -game penalty,
Murray Robinson skated the length of the
ice and unleashed a slapshot past Terry.
Clinton rebounded with 16 seconds
remaining in the period when Grant Garrow
scored on a powerplay. Garrow snared a
rebound from a Tony Gibbings' shot and
shuffled it over Peart, who went down to
stop the initial drive.
Manager Wiggins said that there was a lot
of good hitting by both clubs in the period
and that Clinton outskated Hanover.
Clinton took the lead for the first time in
the game when Dean Armstrong scored
three minutes and 14 seconds into the third
period. The goal was on the weak side as
Armstrong directed a wrist shot toward the
net, beating Peart along the ice.
The Barons tied the score, two minutes
later when Murray Robinson scored his
second of the game on a powerplay.
Robinson snapped a wrist shot through
Terry's pads with Hymers in the penalty box
for tripping.
At 15:15, the Mustangs charged into the
lead once again as Dean Armstrong scored
on a play from Brad Armstrong and Tom
Smith. Dean scooped up a rebound over

Peart.
Murray Robinson scored his third goal of
the game at 18:16 to tie the score. Robinson
took the puck at his own blueline and blasted
a shot from the circle, beating Terry high to
the stick side.
Manager Wiggins said the team came up
with a good effort and Terry proved to be the
difference between the pipes as Clinton was
outshot 52-33.
Kincardine 10 Clinton 3
ratis is one road game the Mustangs would
er forget. Last Friday night, Clinton
was outplayed in every department by the
Kinucks as indicated by the score.
Kincardine opened up a 3-0 lead after one
period as they dominated play. Mike Zuzek
s tie Han
scored at 9:55 on a weak wrist shot from the
blueline that fooled Terry Bean.
Five Minutes later Bruce Murray scored
when he picked up a rebound and shot it =,st
Bean, who was caught out of position after
making the initial save.
Kincardine made it 3-0 on a powerplay
when Larry McPherson was set up perfectly
by Mich Landry. McPherson took a pass in
the slot and drilled a shot into the net.
Clinton's best chance of the period came
with two minutes remaining when Kevin
Lee picked up a loose puck and skated in
alone on Brian Boileau. Boileau stuck out his
pad and made the save.
In the second period it appeared that
Kincardine was on a 20 -minute powerplay.
They skated the Mustangs into the ice.

Forty-nine seconds into the period, the
Kinucks struck again with Landry scoring
on the powerplay.
Landry scored his second goal of the game
at the 12:06 mark when he blasted a 15 -foot
slapshot off the post past Bean.
With three minutes left in the period, the
Clinton defense was no where to be found as
Dave Petteplace skated in home -free and
deked Bean to the ice.
Larry McPherson scored his second goal
of the game at 16:33 when he was allowed to
cruise into the slot and unleash a booming
slapshot.
Dave Gamble made the score 8-0 early
into the gird period when his slapshot from
the point made it through heavyMraffic past
Bean.
The Clinton offense finally came to life in
the period as Shawn Van Dongen scored on a
powerplay. Seconds after Randy Marriage
was stopped by Boileau, Van Dongen hopped
on the rebound beating the fallen goal
tender.
The Mustangs made it 8-2 two minutes
later when Brent Daw pounced on a loose
puck at the Kinuck blueline. Daw then
stepped into a slapshot that made its way
into the corner past a startled Boileau.
Just as Lee had stepped on the ice after
serving a tripping penalty, Brad Armstrong
intercepted a puck near centre ice and
skated in alone beating the Kincardine
goalie on an excellent deke.
Brian Catto and Landry with his third of
the game, rounded out the scoring for
Kincardine.
Following the game Mustang's Head
Coach Bob Zimmer was disappointed with
his club's performance.
"We didn't come to play as a team. We
have to be ready to play 60 minutes of
hockey. We let them score a couple of weak
goals and as a result we lost our confidence
and the floodgates opened," Zimmer said.

How to Grow Crystals
\nu that winter is coming, many people hate
rock salt nn hand to melt the ice on driveways
and sidewalks A small handful of this rock salt
dissolved in a cup of hotting water makes a per
feet solution for growing crystals
To grow crystals, you need
• a handful of rock salt
• one cup of honing water
• a shallow howl
• a piece of string
• a magnifying glass optional
I !tree 1 inns
I Dissolve a handful of rrx•k salt in a cup of
boiling water
2 Pour the solution into a shallow howl
I Put a piece of string into the howl and dangle
one end over the edge
4 Place the howl in a Bunn} spot for a few
days
:Iter the solution has evaporated gnu will see
many crystals nn the string and on the sides of
the howl If you look at these crystals through a
magnifying glass you II see that they are perfect
euhes
Sou can grow crystals from other minerals that
dissolve in water sugar horas and alum make
interesting shapes The shapes for each type of
crystal will always he the same hut the size may
he different t rs.tals formed in cold places like
in the refrigcr,itnr are .mailer than those formed
in hot place. F:rperiment and see'
