Beat Gemini Sabres on top of Junior B loop Acton Sabres handed new coach Bruce Chapman his first win as they topped arch rivals Georgetown Gemini 4 3 in a thrilling come from behind game which saw Brian Walker net the winning goal unassisted with only 14 seconds left on the clock The win gave the Sabres the first round in the unofficial championship of Hills as v oil as leaving them on top of the Junior B loop at least for a while The Sabres benefitted from a sterling performance in the nets by Kent Moffott who held the Gems to one goal In the first period and kept the Acton team in the game as they were 10 In the first two frames Six The Sabres comeback began with only six minutes to go in the game The Gems were leading 3 and hopes were beginning to dim for Acton fans when Walker and Dave Chapman scored with fifteen seconds to tie the score Chapman the league s highest scorer last year got the first goal of the season for the Sabres taking a pass from Walker and Bud Buchanan to make the scon 2 in the third period Walker who figured in all four Acton points got his first goal of the game to start the comeback from Scott Malcolm and Chapman Chapman repeated seconds later from Walker setting the stage for Walker last second winner Barnes incident Bruce Chapman new policy of sticking to hockey this season seems to have paid off as the Sabres served only 14 minutes In penalties and took advantage or a third period major to Gem Doug Barnes to manufacture their win Barnes was ejected from the game a slashing attack which broke Mike Schinkel nose in three places The incident has caused some concern in the Sabres camp enough to prompt the executive to send a letter to the OHA asking the organization to take a serious look since there are five games to go between the two teams According to manager secretary Bill the letter recom mends strong action because the attack was provoked There is tolk that Barnes will be charged with assault by s parents but they are In the States at this time and nobody is sure until they come back what will happen According to Campbell what Ihcy do will depend on the action If the Imposes a severe enough penalty according to Campbell then the Schlnkels are less likely to take any action The injury to Schinkel Is not the one that most worries the Sabres right now They ex him to be back in action with a face mask this weekend They arc far more concerned with Mike Major who was struck in the eye by a puck deflected off a goalie stick He has been in Brampton hospital the game with eyes bandaged and the Sabres don t know yet what his condition is Get experience Coach Chapman pulled some of his younger players from the ice in the later going preferring to go with experience players when play get a little roughtcr He emphasized that he is happy with the play of all his players and said It is not fair to put a young guy on and have him get beat again and again and get discouraged He said they are learning by
