Hustle pays dividends for improving Sabres Acton Sabres continued their of Bradford Vaseya the visitors here Friday night in one of the most actionpacked games of the Junior D season Since they absorbed an shellacking at the hands of the Vasey in early November Sabres have bounced back to defeat them three straight was a key one for the two clubs who are battling for a spot in the Centra and both like the Stanley Cup was at stake Sabres carried a lead into the third period but suddenly found themselves in a tie game when connected for Bradford in the first minute of the final frame Keep hustling Superior conditioning and two timely Bradford penalties helped Sabres strike for three quick goats and put the game out of reach Sabres kept up the hustle theyd displayed right from the opening whistle while Bradford wilted under the pressure The line of Gary Dale Fisher and Pete Morrison ac counted for five of the Acton goals Turkosz fired a hat trick and earned one assist Fisher scored one goal and set up four others and Morrison had a goal and an assist Randy George Me- and Bill Field were the other Sabre marksmen Fields goal was his of the season Captain Ray Evans who played his usual outstanding game his leaeue leadino collecting three assists Andy Purmals Don Stevens and Tom Coffey and Adrian scored the other Bradford goals Coffey a tower of strength for the visitors also drew assists on four goals Defence sharp In spite of the impressive of tensive show Sabres got their best performance from rearguard Ted Harmer belted oncoming Bradford forwards with authority and broke up dangerous rushes on several occasions Together with Randy Weldon and Brad Timbers Harmer played almost double his usual time since three regular defencemen Brian Charlie Gldden and Rick Mitchell were absent Weldon OHA JUNIOR D HOCKEY ACTON SABRES ALLISTON HORNETS at the ACTON COMMUNITY CENTRE SUNDAY JAN 16th at 130 PM MM WIN A FREE TRIP FOR TWO to NASSAU TWO GLORIOUS WEEKS

Machine First place teams beware Acton Sabres are out to get you And theyll probably succeed For the fourth time this season Sabres knocked the league leaders in the South Central Junior D league off their pedestal when they whipped the Fergus Green Machine 81 here Sunday afternoon In front of over 500 happy fans the largest crowd since the official opening game Bradford and had previously lost their leads here Sabres fourth conquest of a well league leader was by far the most was so rewarding On the same libelous that goalie Nelson they beat Fergus for the the most recent addition first time halted a nine game to the club scarcely had a shot to Green Machine unbeaten n h streak prolonged an undefeated string of their own and vacated fifth place for the first time since the first week of November In what turned out to be their best GO minute effort yet Sabres made a shambles of the Green Machine power play in a first period in which they were vic timized by completely inconsistent penalty calls by io handle in the first period Our game plan was to them in their own end exactly what we did and the result was that they became confused coach Bill Dawkins said after the game goalie Tom who bent the locals almost in the opening game was not as fortunate this time around Sabres fired four second period goals to up their lead to before Bruce Boyd having to play shorthanded for almost the entire period Sabres came out with a 10 lead Ray Evans got the goal tipping in Randy drive from the point at 14 for the only Fergus goal Pretty goal Ted Harmer and John two standout Sabre performers teamed up on the first one hailed by trainer bonny as the prettiest play he seen this year Harmer carried the puck from behind his own net fed a pass to just outside the Fergus then drove straight for the Green Machine net where he tipped perfect relay between Brockerlck legs Bill Field Ray Evans and Date 1isher netted the other second period Acton goals When the viators staged a brief rally early In the third Barber sent them to the bench shaking their heads with some saves Play well Perhaps the most encouraging part of the victory was the fine play of the third line made up of newcomer Graham John and Wilson The Irio hemmed Fergus in their own end most of the time they were on Ihe Ice and came up with a goal In the final minutes Wilson fired the shot past subgoalie Don Giles and Sheppard assisted on the play Giles replaced Broderick in the Fergus cage after Bill Field scored his second goal of the game on a Ray Evans pass at 10 10 of the third period Pete Morrison Giles for the other Sabre goal Sabres defence corps Ted Randy Brad limbers and Brian Davey gave Barber excellent protection three Fergus played without three of their big guns Brian Walker Handy Fleming and Wayne A fourth Kim was injured in the first period and did not return 1 Ihlnk we would have beaten hem badly with or without those players Dawkins commented John has our guys so well conditioned now we re not running out of steam anymore Sabres played without two Rick Mitchell and Charlie Giddcn After the first period when Sabres took seven of the nine penalties King called only one penalty against sending Fergus players to the sin bin on six occasions Hie loss dropped Fergus out of first place which means Sabres will still be playing the first place club when Hornets come to
