of the Intermediate A League the comeback is in full bloom The Raiders travelled lo Thorold Monday night or the fourth game in their best of series with the hometown Athletics and the Journey home was that much shorter on the heels of Georgetown victory sadly lacking any semblance of the protection and Georgetown romped lo a with as they lost the first game of the home then fell two garni behind the first time they Invaded the Athletics anna Last Friday night before a partisan at Gordon Memorial Arena they stomped the A s and were given fresh life Monday nights llnlder win in means that the fifth final scries match will be this in Georgetown A combination of offensive punch coupled with some tine by Raider netminder Keith can be credited for Monday night win The Raiders were one step ahead of throughout the game and dldn I let up through the full minutes The gome was deadlocked twice but the constant Raider pressure gave them the edge Junior Doug Barnes opened the Georgetown scoring at 16 of the first frame but Thorold tied it up less than two later on a Fred La a In the dying seconds of the opening period Tommy Gilbert counted his first of two to give the Haiders a 1 lead after minutes Thorold came right back In the opening minutes of the second on a pool Bill McNann once again tie the game The turning point in the game came about midway through the second when Tommy Gilbert and Nell Cotton scored to open up a two- goal gap For the Raiders Thorold counted once more In the second period Gerry Money got credit for the marker but the Raiders led after minutes of play Doug Barnes scored the winner for Georgetown at the 1 mark of the third and although narrowed the margin to one goal on Fred Loselva second red lighter this was as close as they got Again the play of Keith Pallet must be mentioned He faced drives to for Thorold s Rick Upper and it was his performance that spelled the difference The game this Friday at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena gets underway at An instant Raiders have a lark at Athletics expense kill er by Colin Gibson Herald Sports Editor Regardless or what one thinks spring Is just around the corner and a new recreation season lies waiting In the wings The vagaries of Mother Nature notwithstanding fishing junkets are being planned camping gear is being refurbished and the old standby the knapsack is being yanked pitilessly from its winter hibernation hole In the closet in readlnew for it misters Spring weather at beat can be termed unpredictable and many uninitiated have met with tragic ends simply because they I appreciate this fact It great being out in the boondocks or silently guiding a canoe through what you facetiously think uncharted waters but a change in the weather or an unforeseen accident could find a person courting disaster Too often throughout the spring months one hears reports of death through exposure or shock The medical term used in describing these fatalities is hypothermia The term describes the lowering of the body inner heat the core heat This condition occurs the moment the body begins losing heat faster than it produces It The frightening thing about this condition is that it can happen anywhere In the water In a boat on a wind swept lake to a car that runs out of gas in a house without heat and even in the woods where one would think that ample protection Is available The main cause of hypothermia plainly speaking is that people foolishly prepare properly for outdoor conditions and suffered the A man all day suddenly feels the temperature drop and his fatigue coupled with the weather change affects him dangerously A fisherman without adequate clothing finds himself capsized and at the mercy of the elements The examples can go on and on but the crux of the matter is the lowering of heat There Is hypothermia danger even In mild weather Thirty to 50 degrees Fahrenheit might seem but throw in precipitation and a wind factor and the results could be fatal There are ways to combat hypothermia and the best way Is to realize when it occurs Hypothermia victims have been known to die within half an hour and similarly unless the condition Is treated death will surely occur three hours The temperature of the hands and feet can drop to and even degrees below their normal temperature without aov lasting harm but could succumb if his body temperature dropped as little as six The speed at which hypothermia develops depends on the amount of energy a person has available when struck by the condition but warning signs arc apparent Intense shivering heralds the start of danger and from here unless treated it ail downhill Poor coordination stumbling thickness of speech and loss of memory follow in rapid succession and in the latter stages the victim will not even attempt to help If a victim has a mild case of hypothermia get him to shelter make him warm and feed him quarts of hot sugared water or beef broth If the victim is to the field however and has a severe case of hypothermia he be moved and the ministrations should be per formed on the spot cannot be emphasized enough that moat cases hypothermia can be avoided if the clothing is worn Jeans are poor for outdoor trekking as Ihey afford little or no protection at all In a similar sense duck down whle good for stopping wind The should be dressed In layers and the old standard wool still affords the best If one t have the proper apparel and Is In danger of developing hypothermia dry grass mosa cattail down and milkweed afford some relief Dry clothing and adequate shelter are the keys to survival It a a joy to take In the splendours of our outdoors but one must be aware that dangers are perhaps surprisingly close Statistics mean little to anyone and provide little relief to a bereaved family If taking to the woods don end up as a statistic use common sense and be prepared The hometown supporters were restless prior to last Friday night game between the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders and the Athletics They had a right to be not only restless but somewhat disconcerted as The Raiders were embroiled In first round playoff action with and airnay were being threatened with elimination Thorold had stunned the Raiders and their supporters by taking a decision away from the hometown favourites the previous Friday and had followed this up with a 4 I win back

saying In that When the going gets tough the tough get going and lost the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders got going and going and going id Infinitum to paste the to the tune of 14 It was a game in which the locals could do no wrong and the Athletics bless their hearts had a tougl time even getting the seating arrangement on their bench right The Holders displayed an offensive attack with a bone defense that completely demoralized Thorold The Raider forwards forechecked with a vengeance and their efforts were equally as tenacious and this allowed the Red and White defensive stalwarts to meet the Thorold attackers headon at the blue line and snuff out potential scoring drives Keith Pallet in the Raider nets had one of his better A league of champions girls enter East York League Of
