town fans at tbe Gordon Alcotf Memorial Arena the Geminls turned tbe tables to easily squash any hopes Milton Continental Flyers had had of being league a dark horse entry Georgetown easily handed the last place Flyers an win What a difference a day makes What a difference a goalie makes I Rick Tomkinson got the nod Within the first Ave minutes of Saturday a game the Flyers peppered the Georgetown nets with some hard shots all of which Tomkinson pulled in or blocked with bis pads or stick Of tbe shots that he would have to make during the first minutes of play made at least eight during the first series of plays In the game Tbe Gems seeing the kind of support they were receiving behind them decided to open their game up a bit and from midway point of the opening fray majority of action on those infrequent momenta when both teams were either at strength or close to it centred In the Milton end The referee was to say tbe least overly diligent Which in simpler terms means he made good use of the new whistle he got as an early Christmas present Following a wide open first 10 minutes of play the frequent calls for in fractions slowed the play down to a crawl particularly during the second set At one point the Flyers from scoring The Milton crew scored first late In tbe first period but that t Indicate that the Georgetown squad had its chances Craig Milton goalie had a lot of

Chris Milne managed to come up with the puck passed back to the point and Larry Peterson Showing the form that has scored on a goalmouth shot set up by Peterson and Rick Becker At that point he game ex paneled to a 13man game as the referee played a role that was only outdone by In the Gems net Despite playing short far a large part of the game and despite calling upon Tomkinson to make an astounding saves In he middle minutes the Geminls managed to come out of Ihe with a lead Peterson made It on another hard shot that managed to block with his shoulder but couldn stop trickling over his shoulder into the goal Late in the period Doug on a play set up by Becker and Milne made It 52 but Milton edged slightly back into contention with seconds left to play but that was as close they were going to come At the SB mark of the third Milne who played one of his best games of the year Saturday caught by draw and flipped the puck back to Charlie Knoepfli who had himself per In the slot
