Trev Baxter finds the scoring to lead St. Andrew's Juveniles It's been a strange sort September even though he schedule, he came out to been playing for both clubs of hockey season so far for had aspirations of catching play in the juvenile house the past couple of weeks. Cobourg's Trev Baxter. a regular berth with the league with St. Andrew's. How long that will last is Trev registered as a junior 'C Cougars. When Cougars then decided to anybody's guess but the juvenile with the Cobourg the Juniors didn't sign him sign him and Baxter general feeling is it's only Church Hockey League in at the outset of their obliged. As a result, Trev's a temporary arrangement. Cobourg Sentinel-Star, Fri., November 12, 1971 CALVIN VADER of Trinity Juveniles was beaten five times Tuesday night as Lloyd's Machine Shop Midgets scored an upset Church Hockey League win. range to win In any event, he didn't set the world on fire at first for either team. But he seems to be coming around now, judging by his best performance yet Tuesday night. Showing more hustle and scoring punch than in previous outings, the 18-year-old Baxter produced 2 goals and an assist to spark St. Andrew's to a 4-2 triumph over St. Michael's in a battle of the juvenile division's undefeated clubs Trev - packing 160 pounds on a 5-foot-10 frame - was the difference in this keenly contested struggle. He poked in Wayne Quigley's passout from a goalmouth melee early in the second period to start the puck rolling for St. Andrew's. After John Bax clicked twice less than three minutes apart to put St. Mikes in the lead, Baxter and Rob Elliott combined to set up Barry Watt for the equalizer. Watt rapped in a low 10-foot backhander for his third goal of the year. "Skates" Elliott popped in the game-deciding tally late in the closing chapter on a perfect relay from Rob "Chopsticks" Fisher before Baxter scored the clincher on a breakaway with iy2 minutes remaining. In the late show, Lloyd's Machine Shop Midgets outlasted Trinity Juveniles, 5-4, in another squeaker. Rob Dunn, Lloyd's newest recruit, bagged the winning goal and also arranged another to share point leadership with Brian Watt who matched his output. Mike Harold, Stan McKnight and Gary Lees were the other snipers for the B's. John Davison collected a pair of goals for Trinity. Doug Benson and Dave Marshall accounted for the rest.

While Roadrunners waited until the dying stages to win, Ingram's used the opposite approach to lose. Oshawa scored on their first four shots on goal in the game and never looked back.

Bruce Sherwin and Vern MacGregor are working hand in hand these days trying to make MacGregor Electric a winner in business and Cobourg Cougars a winner in hockey. Sherwin, the 18-year-old captain of the junior 'C team, was hired by MacGregor, coach of Cougars, just the other day to work for his electrical firm. And if B. decides he likes the job, an apprenticeship is available just for the asking. On the ice, Bruce and Vern's mutual interests revolve around the business of directing the youthful Cougars to a respectable finish in the nobody-can-be-taken-for-granted Central Ontario circuit. Sherwin, one of the only two holdovers on the Cobourg roster, is proving to be a capable leader in that he's gained the respect of the players and established a good rapport between the players and the management. Bruce has been shuffled around in Cougars' first seven games as MacGregor has been juggling personnel, partly because of necessity and partly due to suspensions and injuries, in an effort to come up with the strongest possible lineup and to determine exactly where Sherwin can be of most value to the club. Through it all, Bruce has done whatever's been asked of him without complaint. In over half the team's games so far,- Sherwin has played left defence, a position he normally does not play. But that experiment appears to be over, at least for the time being, as MacGregor plans to restore him to his familiar centre ice slot. Bruce toiled with Terry Lewis on left wing and Bill Whitelaw on the right side in Wednesday night's practice and it's quite possible they'll line up that way when Cougars skate out Sunday night on Bowmanville ice to do battle with Bowmanville Red Eagles. Cougars should have a special incentive in this weekend joust since it was Eagles who handed Cobourg its most humiliating defeat of the season, a 10-2 licking here back on October 25. Cobourg played absymally in that rout and compounded it all by drawing 37 penalties in the foul-filled farce.

To date, Sherwin hasn't exploded in a scoring sense like many imagined he might this year. In 6 games, he has only 2 goals and 7 assists to his credit, modest totals for a player of his proven talent. A slick puck handler with fine hockey sense and plenty of deceptive moves, Bruce really hasn't freewheeled too much, outside of his top performance this year at Keswick against Sutton South Shore Rangers. Packing nearly 160 pounds on a 5-foot-9V2-inch frame, the fair-haired ace has been detected holding the puck a split second too long and not unleashing his acknowledged hard shot often enough. He's due to erupt in a big way one of these nights. And there's no time like the present for the club's defending scoring champion to start filling the net because Cougars have a tough row to hoe in the next ten days with four games and nary a soft touch in sight. Following their initial exposure Sunday in Bowmanville, Cougars are home to meet Sutton Monday. A back-to-back series with Port Hope Panthers looms thereafter. How they fare during this stretch could go a long way towards deciding Cougars' fate or fortune in the standings.
