The Jinx has done if again to the Raiders It the Dundu Jinx or Jutt one of those games for the Raiders Either way the Raiders blew it badly Friday night at the Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena letting he Merchants rob the Georgetown Intermediates with a overtime victory For fear having a Dundu Merchant plant a stick soundly between our lets be truthful Theres no way the Merchants warrant the win They were outnumbered out played for the first half and outclassed But on the other hand the Raiders were outscored Not during the first half hough Georgetown showed the stuff that first place teams are made of They well ever better and scored After the first minutes of play the Raiders were leading and deser vedly so The first Raiders score was a effort With a two- man advantage the Georgetown squad moved Into the Dundu end and set up a beautiful passing play that eventually Rick Schurr pass to Pat who without a second to consider flipped the puck between the posts At the lSmlnute mark Gerry presented the Raiders with an early Christmas gift which unfortunately the Raiders would eventually return Nell Cotton and Ray Peacock set up John Boyce for a hard shot from the point which managed to get his glove on but forgot to hold onto The puck dropped nicely Into the goal That waa one of the few mistakes was going to make About the only hot spot In the Gordon Alcott on that cold cold Friday night was the hot of Aussem Normally a consistently adept netmtnder he seems to really turn on when hes facing a bunch of upset Raiders Mind you be was getting a lot of help from a group of Raiders who seemed to need a road map to find their way to the net With the shots ringing time and again three feet wide of the mark Aussem really didnt need to be all that slurp Even when the Raiders did manage to get their aim a little more exact and on the general range of the net the majority of the shots were fired right at his pads One of the few shots that a Raider actually took bis time in setting up and firing to a corner proved to be the Raiders last goal That came late in the third period after had battled back to a Tate playing his first game In a Raiders uniform since returning to In termediate action after a stint with the Whitby Senior As more about Tate later did a tremendous Job in carrying the puck Into the end Despite having two Merchants applying a bit of subtle pressure on him Tate coolly kept digging to come no with the puck Spying Tom moving Into the slot Tata passed It back Polonic picked a comer and easily fired the puck borne That lead had a life span of about two minutes Then Georgetowns goalie Keith was caught flat on a play that could be called a forward Ross let an easy shot go from the point It didnt have any speed at all on it There werent any players possibly Interfering with either vision or the flight of the puck It was an easy shot that appeared to be making his standard com petent save on In fact he did make the stop but the puck somehow managed to find Its way over his shoulder end down Into the net The game went Into over time the details of which would better be left unssld At the 1 mark Merchant Larry Wilson set up Joe Donald for a hard shot from the left side Penaltywise the game did have its moments A rough start did however cool things THE HERALD Tuesday Facts and figures for goallenders saves really point out where the tide turned against the Raiders In the first period made IT saves to total of five In the second had the period off making only five saves to Palletts lo Both goalies took It relatively easy In the third as Pallet made eight saves One of the bright spots In the Raiders game analysis besides the fine playing of Pat Maloney bod to be the Introduction Doug Tate in the lineup His first time out showed that hes got the ability to break any game wide open when he almost scored on a oneman drive- He almost did it again eight minutes Into the second period when be whistled a hard shot off the posts When the December shuffling of lines by coach Junior Tibbetts slows down somewhat the Raider are no doubt going to find themselves with some extremely dangerous lines The Raiders coming off that one week rest are facing a busy week ahead On Friday they host the Port Coflxane Sauors at the Gordon Alcott then they move to to face the Isagues number one but faltering squad on Sun day Next Tuesday they move to Port Colborna for a return match against the Sailors The final word about Fridays game came from a rink side pundit who after seeing Raiders Mike skate to the bench with skate
