?NE c!AMAnTAI ~TAT~MAN. BOWMMqVULN. O?~TAR!O THUR~DAY. MAW 1~l1~ loqe SPIORTropic By Frank Mohun MA 3-7234~ I B. O. C.'s Now that the Bowmanville-Oreno Combines have shunted the Minden Monarchs aside, they will hook up as everyone knows with the Napanee Cornets for the league titie. Last year the Combines swamped Napanee in the opener and then proceed- ed to drop the next four and the Cornets went on ta defeat George- town for the Ontario titie in the next round. Ail of which would tenç¶ to make a person believe that Napanee, with the same lime-up as last season, is the team to beat for ail the marbles. The B.O.C.'s just could do it too. For one thing if's possible that they were a little overconfident after the easy win in last year's opener. This tirne they were playing Napanee in a regular schedule, and know what they are up against. Secondly, the locals appeared to be hitting their stride In the last two games against Minden. Another factor i,; that the Combines, with the addition of Westfall and Germond and the return of Raye West and Robinson, are able to have a couple of good players in reserve. Finally, and rnost important, Manager Frank Jamieson inforrns us that the team is out to avenge last year's loss. It will take an ail out effort, and with this kind of determination, Bowrnanylle-Orono can turn the trick. Athough this reporter does flot mean ta criticize. we do think the defence, although Ross Hawe says they are giving him fine protection, is guilty of being trapped in the opposition end on occasion. We realize that they can*t be perfect, even the pros aren't, but mistakes against Napanee would be costlv. We'1l go out on a limb, and caîl the B.O.C.'s to win in six games, but if it goes ta a seventh game in Napanee, the predie- tion is that Napanee will take it. Now let's get behind aur club and give them the incentive to make winning worthwhile. ti t t t i. HOCKEY FANS Corne playoff Urne, hockey fans are usually loyal ta their ow-n team, particularly it seems, the people who follow the play- ers ta the away from home games. The referees. the opposition and the other team's followers are "for the birds", while the loyal supporter's club can do no wrong. In the heat of exciternent, unfortunately, at tirnes a person's over-exuberance gets the better of thern, and hot words or even insuits may be exchanged. It neyer should get that far, but ,when it cornes ta physical violence ail sense of fair play has been ls.When a Coliingwood fan cut a Bowmanville partisan for six stitches at last week's Juveniile game, it was the worst thing we have ever seen among spectators at a sports attraction. Let us hope that no Bowmanville supporter would ever be so fooiish. ]Hitting another persan over the head with a hockey stick is going a lot toa far to proving your loyalty ta a team. t t t i t LEGIONNAIRES When the Bowmanville Juvenile Legionnaires saw a 3-0 lodgo down the drain, this reporter began ta see the hopes for a championship go toa. But they bounced back tu down Coliing- -ocd 5-3 :ta take the opener of a series which bas been extendedi t') a best of three affair. It was a real crowd-pleaser, although4 the locals have played better. If they corne up with a big effort Tuesda 'y night, by the time this Is being read, Bowmanville will have a team in the Ontario finals. If a third game is necessary it wll i aso be in Collingwood. Whatever the final result, the boys deserve a lot of credit for *the way they play the game, bat-uing bard aIl the way. Considering the fact that the Legion- flaires have beaten out three teams ta reach the semi-finals. the crowd at Friday nigbt's game was a disappointnient. Tickets1 wîlnevertbeiess probably be in great demand for the finals. Abi Mavin told me that the locals will wrap it up ifl the second game.

MIDGETS' Althougb no official word bas been received as yet, It appears almost certain that Collingwood will play Bowmanville in the Ontario Midget Semi-Finals. If we have anything definite before the paper goes ta press, it will appear elsewhere. t t t t1- i B.O.C. - NAPANEE PLAYOFFS The first five games of the scheduled hest-of-seven semi- finals bav-e been agreed on by bath clubs as follows: B.O.C. vs. Napaneo -- Wednosday, March 11 Napanoe vs. B.O.C. Saturday, March 14 B.O.C. vs. Napane - Monday, March 16 Napaneo t-s. B.O.C.

"Wbitey" who was carried off the ice on a stretcher will be lost ta the Biltmores for perhaps the balance of the season. After being deait ta Guelph, Ray has devoloped into the teamn's top defenceman. His loss will not only be a seriaus blow ta the team, but also a disappointment for his many supporters in this area.

As far as we're concerned-the team as a whole was aur collective choice as the Star of the Week.
