VAGI TWELVE TEE CAIIADIAN STATESMAN. EOWMANVILtZ. ONTARIO THURSDAY, MAR. 2Oth, 115U SPORT NOTES Dy Doug Glynn "Lack cf ffre no deire, and tac much Individuallsm," said Coach Jim I'Ticker" Crombie in summing up Bowmanville-Orono Combines' loas ta Lindsay here Wednesday of last week. Ticker stili clung to bis story despite a bit of sock pulling by the squad over the weekend. Oniy three or four members of the team are utill playlng heads up hockey. The rest seem to have lait the wifl to win. WHO KNOWS? Wby, we know not. Maybe they have had toc much hockey this year? Possibly the rough tactics of Lindsay are a bit too xnuch? Certainly rough hockey is something Çombines don't like. They show a much better class when the game is kept wide open, as was the Cobourg series. Perhaps age is catching some of our veterans. But if Maxie Yourth is any exampie, then that rules this thougbt out immed- lately. Ted DeGray bas shown remarkably weil during the play- offs, and Gary Copeland has added spark to tbe club during the past few weeks. Syd Arnold bas been himacîf and is consistent, but the players wbo were doing sa weli during the season seem ta have lost something. Whatever it la - "fire" maybe, as Crombie says, or just the will ta win - let's hope they get it back soan. AN EXAMPLE 0F GUTS One place Combines could pick up a few pointers on spirit, if that ia what they are lacking, is froin aur Legionnaires. These lads did what we think was a tremendaus job during their play- offs. Under the keen guidance of Jed Wilson, the Legion boys pulled an unpredictable upset in their own division ta win the Eastern Ontaria Juvenile Crown, then gave a good showing of theinselves in the Ontario semi-final playoffs. That they were eliminated by Barrie was no disgrace. Our lads went the full distance with just two lines. Some- thing other clubs would neyer have even attempted. Toward the last their hearts were in the gaine and the wiil ta win was in each and every one of thein. Sa how can we be anything but proud of thein? t t i. t t AROUND THE TOWN .. Bowmanville High School's Bantam basketball squad won their home and home total points round froin Peterborough 50-31, ta capture the COSSA Trophy aver the weekend. Greg Cooper and Johnny James shared a 27-point pread as they paced the locals. Tbey meet Belleville next for the oastern Ontario crown. Nice gain' gang ....

Bowmanville MA 3-3321 e Legionnaires Beafen ln Semi -Final Opener By Barrie Flyers 7-4 Barrie Juveniles clung ta an early three goal iead to defeat Bowmranville Legionnaires 7-4, at Memorial Arena, Tbursday of last week, ta give them a one gaine lead in their best-of- three Ontario Juvenile "C" semi-final playoffs. Legionnaires were caugbt un- prepared as Barrie swarmed in ta click for two goals, 13 sec- onds apart, in the second Mill- utes of the opening period. Bill Burtch's bard drive from the left circle was too bot for goal- ie Curt Vanstane and he drap- ped it, while trying ta tass it aside. Ai Smithb býasted their second goal at 1.49, after taking Cam- eron's pass from the face-off. Bryan Keast put Barrie in front 3-0 at 13.07. with a clear shat on the open corner, whiie Vanstone was trying ta block Neal at the far side. Archie Crossey took a drop pass from Eric Carleton juat inside the blueline and wbip- ped it into the right corner te put Legiannaires on the score sheet at 5.07 of the mid- dle frame. Bryan Keast got his second goal of the night at 13.46 when Barrie sprang a tbree man attaclc. He convertcd Bur- tch's pass into the short side. Corbett Adams moved Barrie abead 5-1 less than four min- utes later wben he found a bale at the corner dring a serambie in front of tb?àcge. Eric Carleton sparked Uleon- naires in the third as be fired a backhander inta the corner at the 47 second mark. Jerry Murphy equalled it at 6-16 with a screen sbat from the face-off circle. George Boornan used a de- fenceman ta screen bis 10 foot drive an the rlgbt' corner at 9.12 as Barrie went ahead 7-2. Bob Marjerrison lifted a shot into the corner at 13.56. and it proved too hot for the Barrie net minder, who let it fali. Don Prout fired tbe final Legion- naires tally at 17.46, wbile two Barrie players were sitting in the sin bin. j Men ps Major Bowling I Jim Levett had the chance of a lifetime to beat Pat Yeo's hlgh single gaine of 374 on Wed- nesday night. Levett started off on seven straight strikes and then fell apart at the seams. and wound up with a 329 game high for the week. Bill Bates was second with 307 and Frank Lindsay* Take Lead Wîns 3rd Lindsay Muskies moved into a 2-1 lead in the Lakeshore In- termediate "A" Hockey play- offs Wednesday of last week by defeating Bowmanviile-Or- ono Combines 7-4, before some 600 fans at Memorial Arena. Muskies surged into an early tbree goal lead as they bit Com- bines with an effective check- ing style that had the locais be- wildered. Combines were in a lapse during the first two frames ana showed littie of their usuai skill with the excep- tion of a brief five minutes of heads-up hockey in the first period. Checking Pays Off B.O.C.'s came to life at the five minute mark of the final stanza and it looked like an- other of their last, period ral- lies. However, Lindsay kept pounding away at them and breaking up their passing plays until the final buzzer. Orlie Crawford's fluke shot from behind the nets at 5.53 put Muskies in front. Larry Bal converted Dîck Finlay's reiay from the circle into the left corner just 17 seconds later. Before Combines could guess what had bappened Bob Grow- den fired bis own rebound past the outstretched Ross Hawe at 7.20. to make it 3-0. Brief Showing fCombines revived at 11.37 jwhen Dean West tipped Syd IArnold's pass into the corner. Grant Green fired a drive froin the blue-line at 1.53 af the mid- dle frame and it put Lindsay ahead 4-1 as it defiected in off a defenceman at the right cor- ner. Jack Graham fired what proved ta be the winning goal at 5.59. His long drive frain the tcircle caught the short ide. Keith West sparked the B. O.C.'s at 4.49 of the final stan- za when he banged bis own rebound into the corner. Gary Copeland stuck out bis stick and dcflected Don Mercer's drive frain the blue-line into the nets at 9.36. Hope Sizzles Dick Finlay backhanded a drive froin the circle at 10.07. ta keep Lindsay in front 6-3. Frank Hoaper fired a bard shot froin the boards just 22 seconds later ta mave Combines within two goals of the Muakies and it gave the fanasainme hope. The roar of "go, go, go" began ta echo througb the ink, but it was just about 40 minutes toô late for B.O.C.'s ta start going. Bud McDougall led the three man attack for Muakies as they caught onl *v ane defenceman back. He took a pass froin Grant Green in front of the nets and blasted bis shot into the corner using the defence- mnan as a screen. JUST NOTES-Lindsay aut- shot Combines 46 ta 35. In the first frame thcy led 18 ta 10 ini shots on goal. Only two af the B.O.C. squad seemed ta be aware that it takes 60 minutes of effort during a hockey game. They were goalie Ross Hawe and Gary Copeland. The rest of the teain seemed ta be re!y- iniz on what thev thought %vould be their Iast pcrind drive. Onlv trouble wvas thev didn't bave it when the third came. Hooper bad 304. Bill Bates bad gaines of 307, 214, 271 for a total af 792 pins ta win bigh triple. President Jack Lander finisbed witb 769.

More than 700 fans watcbed Combines blow an early two goal lead then bounce back in their stop and start style ta win the important game. Lind- say almost outshot B.O.C.'s 21 to 1, as they poured 40 shots at the aiert Ross Hawe, compared ta 24 by Combines. It was veteran defencerxan Ted DeGray who sparked the win as he fired the winning and insurance goals. Larry Bal put Muskies in front at 4.23 of the first period wben be bang- ed Dick Finlay's rebound into the rigbt corner. B.O.C.'s Take Lead Less than a minute later Lloyd Hamilton tied the score with a five foot drive fromn in front.

He was wearing the face mask discarded by goalie Ross Hawe the night before. Hawe was tbere as usual, when Combines had their lapses, and the young star seemed to be back at his peak. Gary Copeland was one of the few members of the for- ward divisions that kept going the full 60 minutes.
