Club connecting game was scheduled for last day at the Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena with Georgetown Sunny Acre Farms major midgets taking on Milton in the third game of a five first to six points AA series The series was tied at 1 so the Tuesday clash was expected to be of the barn burning variety Unfortunately three interlopers dressed as hockey officials were also invited to take part in the con test and their performance proved a bane on both teams who skated to a overtime stalemate If there had been an organist at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena and a rendition of Three Blind Mice had been offered any self respecting blind mouse m the place would have packed up his whiskers and headed elsewhere rather than be associated with this trio The game was taken away from the players by the horrendous of floating that had both players and Tans shaking their heads in amaze ment and disbelief Blatant offsides and icings were missed and at one point one of the linesmen waved ol an icing and the other linesman blew his whis tle stopping play Minor infractions were called while more obvious penalties were ignored by the referee As one fan wryly commented These clowns should have their stripes removed one by one A furious Sunny Acre Farm coach Charlie Hanman called the officiating a disgrace to minor Between periods Milton coach Peter McDuffe was overheard say They must have sent in the second team in reference to the officials but he refused further comment in a postgame conversa The fourth game in the five was played Thursday evening in Milton at press tune Excess baggage sinks Georgetown By COLIN GIBSON Herald Sports Editor To much excess baggage In a nutshell that was how coach Peter Sturgeon explained the Georgetown Raiders loss to Streetsville in the opening game of the Central Ontario Junior Hockey League West Division best of seven first round playoff series played Tuesday in Streetsville An exasperated and disap pointed Sturgeon vowed that changes will be made We were In the game in the third period then some guys gave up and Streetsville ran away with the game There will be at least six changes made I want character players fumed Sturgeon Guys that show up to play the whole minutes The Raiders played host to the Thursday and Friday even at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena at press time the results were not available The fourth game the bestof seven series is scheduled for tomorrow Sunday If the series is extended past four games the fifth game will be played in Streetsville this day the sixth game this Friday pin at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena and the seventh game Feb 25 in Streetsville Despite the shellacking Sturgeon had praise for Raider Curtis Green He kept us in the game said the coach The game was scoreless through the first with Streetsville enjoying a advantage heading into the final period of play The Streetsville fourth goal was a shorthanded effort and it herald the Raider collapse To add injury to insult three Raider stalwarts suffered injuries and will be sidelined for the balance of the Streetsville series Brown suffered a recur rence of the groin injury that has plagued him all season Davin Ciglen injured his wrist and Andy Hockeing is nursing a leg from Erroi Smith and Ryan evening in ai press nor The fifth game which will now be necessary will be plaved tomorrow Sunday a Gor don Alcott Memorial Arena The poor officiating prevented either team from getting a flow go ing to their game and both teams dominated in spurts throughout the contest Milton counted the game s first two goals but two Sunny Acre Farms markers near the end of the period tied the game at 2 heading into the second The teams traded single counters in the second to head into the final frame tied at 33 For some reason the referee put away his whistle for most of the third period and the best hockey of the game was displayed Neither team was able to score in the third penod as both Sunny Acre Farms netminder Paul St Pierre and his counterpart the Milton goal Ryan Peddle made a number of brilliant saves St Pierres snake like glove hand lashed out time and again to foil a number of Milton scoring chances Sunny Acre Farms drew first blood just 41 seconds into the 10 minute overtime penod when with his team harassing Milton in their own end Cooper deposited a nifty shot into the top right hand corner of the Milton net From here fawny Acre Farms were guilty of wrong strategy In stead of slowing down the pace of the game Georgetown picked it up and with 3 40 left in the game Milton s Ian Ellis took full ad vantage when four Sunny Acre Farms players were trapped in the Milton zone Ellis Sunny Farms Rob Lang to the pick the Georgetown end then slid it St Pierre for the unassisted game tying marker Mark Ken Kosziwka
