game Friday against the Greys the Raiders came back from if tie mid way through the third two goals in the last three minutes to edge Owen Sound Right winger Bill Hamilton scored the tie breaker during a power on a pass from Sine Lyons and 1ord Hon Twiss netted the ance goal his second of the night to tnd Ihe scoring The game was played according to Raider Coach Gerry which might have explained why tempers flared at the end of the game Visiting team coach John Lumley grabbed a slick from one of his players and threat several the Raiders after the game was over Raider general manager Dave said afterwards that conduct was inercd and that he was incensed by the whole Gerry Inglis was happy at the way his defence moved puck from their own zone although he said the forwards ire a step on skating Very often the forwards were caught standing still whtn passing the puck across the rink That gave Owen Sound chance Inglts The coach mentioned that Haider goalie Peter McDuffc set up sonic good chances- for the dtfence He says that with a goalie like who can pass the puck out well to his teammates he Is really like a third In the first period George town took eight penalties to the two Owen Sound capitalized on a play effort late in the period v Ron in the box to go ahead Inghs was not happy with the referee calls during the game which tended to the Georgetown team -He- ald body checks and boarding were called by the referee as interference or unsportsman like conduct penalties The coach remembers when Joe Ens stick broke across an Owen Sound player but the referee call the Thecroischeckingstart alter Georgetown became frustrated on being called on the body checks The irony was the referee was slow to call any crosschecking calls the coach said Colin Gordon opened the scoring for the Raiders in the game during the mid way point o th second period Haj and Joe Ens A later Ron netted a goal on passes from Rick and Joe Ens With two minutes left in the game Bill Hamilton and Ron Twlss put two goals in the net to end the scoring at for Georgetown Norman was surrounded by admiring fans after his standout performance for the Georgetown against the Gems last Saturday night Here Colleen Murphy and Alison Morgan 10 give Norman a few hugs When If anyone on the Gems him trouble during the games Norm replied only the ones that scared on Honest Ma no Geritol needed in 63 romp over Gems Mayor Ieler exhibits his skills Ihr game In which the won fi1 after the game with a grin these guts arent In stupe Those shifty Georgetown I One of their secret weapons besides Norman Kent Gentle Ben Robinson was their shadow play as they entertained their way to a victory over the Junior Geminis It was obvious from the he had been practis ing for weeks for theirexhibi- tlon game last Saturday against the Gems One of heir more monumental plays was perhaps the shadow play Such a closely guarded secret the shadow ploy Isnt known by name to some of Oldtimer play Coach Doug Richardson calls the shadow play he one basic play It Is our secret weapon We only had 10 minutes to work on it between the second and third periods The shadow play is a team effort and it worked tremendously said It was designed around Ken Morrow and has never been used In the NHL before the coach revealed Editors note After the shadow play was initiated the team failed to score Another productive play the coach utilized In the closing minutes of the game was the fast shift Thefast shift consists of all IS Old- timers on the ice at once versus the six defenders FAST SHIFT Asked how the play works he coach said It started when the guys that were on wouldnt come off and when the guys who were off wanted There were many favorites on the ice from he Oldtimer team Kent Gentle Ben Robinson didnt let his fans down as he was constantly in hot water with the referees Celebrity referee John of the NHL Robinson an assist on the first Gemini goal Then McCnuley gave Gentle Ben 30sccond penalty for never having a penalty in Gordon arena before But referee McCauley wasnt finished yet His last call against Robinson was In announcing that he had scored a goal which he of course didnt score but was awarded to him anyway for coming as close as hell ever get A doctor came by later to assist Robinson on ice equipped with his stetho scope black bag The chance to win perhaps hinged on Gentle Bens nolsoearly recovery but Robinson was soon on his again A Herald microphone strategically placed near the timekeepers box picked up candid remarks from the Oldtimers such as keep that bloody clock running were beat or hey can you keep clock running Our candid microphone near the bench heard Geminis coach Tom Daley mutter I was going to rush up the ice then I checked my oxygen count STORM IN NORMAN Standout goalie for the Oldtimers Norman of past Raider fame thought the Geminis were holding back on their offensive power They could have scored more but I think they were saving up for Acton tomorrow When asked if any Geminis players gave him more trouble than others said only the ones who sewed on me Lockhurst had words of praise for teammates Tom Daley and Phil La veil who he thought played well Tom Daley thought the entire game was enjoyable Daley would like to sec a charity benefit game each Mayor Peter Puck said It has been eight or nine years since he enjoyed playing against such fierce competition With a devilish smile the mayor said Ihese young guys just t In shape Captain of the Gems Bob McCandless countered with an equally dubious comment when he said with a grin I thought the game was dominated by opposition In a game where It was hard to tell between scores and scores fantasy and reality truth versus truth at least main object of the game was never lost for placers on both teams The teams come to play after it was learned that a fellow Junior hockey player In bad been partially paralyzed All proceeds from the game were donated to the Dave Hawkins fund lo help in the renovations required so that Dave can move around his house with ease The wish to thank the three referees who donated their time free of charge John his nephew Richard and Ray Pasma All player Sabres nip Georgetown In what Acton coach Jules Russian called not the most thrilling game the Junior Sabres defeated the George town Geminis I lust Sunday night The Georgetown squad perhaps gave Acton a belter run for their money than they had expected as the Gems played their best game In weeks coming up with some good scoring chances But the fourth place Sabres were suffering from a mental break down of sorts alter they were edged against Oak Ridges last Friday Oak Ridges took a lot out of them coach said The same referee who played tonight missed an Icing and offside call that both resulted goals for Oak Ridges Although the Gems were definitely up for the game the Sabres were perhaps a little down for the match It was an evenly matched game for most of the three periods Hustle as they did the George town squad missed some good opportunities even the scoring We couldnt put the puck In the net Georgetown coach Tom Daley said In the first period the Acton Sabres opened scoring with just seconds into game Steve Milter was the sharp shooter for Sabres Both teams then settled down to a wide open and fast skating period The were able to find a few good scoring opportunities they defended poorly against the fast skating Acton forwards as came at he defence on iwoononesnnd twos A few defensive lapses near ly cost the Georgetown squad more goals than the score board registered the mid way markIn the period Barry Trood scored for Acton to make Ihe score During the remainder of the period each team had the opportunity to score on the numerous power play chances but both teams defended well as penalty killers Coach Russian had some words of praise Tor his penalty killers Steve Miller played well Him and Pat Fung are probably best set of penal ly In the league In the second period Gemini Bill Taylor put his team on the scoreboard on a neatly execut ed play with the help of John Barnes who Initiated rush the goal both teams played tough hockey with some stiff body- checks being given out by both With six minutes left In the A period fi I enn Murray scored j on booming slap shot from outside slot to increase the Acton lead to 31 The extra effort of be Pal Fung line paid off for Acton when Steve Miller scored his second goal of the night assisted by Fung It was mother hard slap shot from just outside the slot area The Acton Sabre hustle and second kept them strong throughout period although Georgetown them 97 in tlte period Jim for the Georgetown for the puck In front of the Gemini net scored one goal help his teammates to an entertaining victory Blair
