By Doug Glyna Coach Jim "Ticker" Crombie of the Bowmanville-Orono Combnesand Billy Reay of the Toronto Maple Leafs seem to have a problemn in common. Neither of their clubs can win a game when they have to.# Leafs' 5-4 loss to New York on Saturday night has probabiy cost themn any chance of reaching the Stanley Cup playoffs. But nothing so drastie for "Ticker's" Kiadiators. Alter Saturday's and Monday's exhibitions they could stili wlnd up-the series Tuesday. We hope they were able to do that. LOOKED POOR If they do - the fans, who cast doubts alter Saturday night's haphazard exhibition, will likely jump right back on the band- wagon. We agree the B.O.C.'s looked like a lot of bewildered juveniles (flot meaning our own Legionnaires) on Saturday. But, may we point out one thlng. We're glad it.was while they were ahead that they hadl a badl one. Think what rnight have happened if that bail been the deciding gamne. You think about it, we prefer flot to. THE ASSET One thing that was ascertained by the game. That was1 just how big a factor goalie Ross Hawe is on the Combines' squad. Even though he wasn't in the game Ross starred by grabbin ga stray puck that fiew into the stands where he was sitting. Natural instinct, we presume. We don't however, share the opinion of many that the loss was because of sub-goalie Johnny McGregor. If he had been given the support of his defencernen and forwards on several occasions, Rockets would neyer have zoomned into the big Iead they had. Nor ivould they have scored two of their overtime goals. It was just a case of some of the staff being a bit lakadais- ical about their duties. This is something, we're sure, "Tieker" can help them overcome, even if it should mean having some of the laddies warmn the bench for awhile. A GOOD EFFORT Bowmanville Midget Ail-Stars fell to the mighty Hunts-. ville Midgcts in the final game of their home and home series' over the weekend, but not before they provided local fans with one of the best exhibitions by a local club this season. We think last Wednesday's game was tops. This department wouid like to thank A. E. 'Sammy" *Cole for sponsoring our Ail-Stars. Another step in the right 'direction by a local business mai in helping develop future hockey talent for Bowmanville, and what we think was a fine community gesture. t. t t t t i AROUND THE TOWN. ..
