The game was less than two minutes old when Lind- say captain Dave Meehan popped in a power play goal with Port Perry's Mark Jobb in the penalty box. Lindsay went on to build a comfort- able 4 to 1 lead by the end of the first 20 minutes, and were never seriously threat- ened by the Port Perry squad. The Muskies deserved full credit for their win, as strong fore-checking kept Port Perry bottled in its own end, and caused the defenders to cough up the puck on nume- rous occasions.

With Lindsay ahead 2-0, Brad Nicholson got Port Perry on the board at the 15-minute mark of the first period with a quick back- hand shot to the short side. Lindsay quickly took over control of the game with two late period goals by John Lucas and Dan Kish. By the mid-point of the second period, Lindsay had Rob Evans Defenseman Scott Speer moved in to lend a hand. MoJacks open league season with loss taken advantage of Port Perry penalties to build a 7 to 2 lead and the MoJacks appeared to be completely out of the contest. But a goal by winger Keith Holten on a neat two-way passing play at 11:47 and another one by Bill Bridge less than a minute later from a scramble in front of the Lindsay net put some spark back in the Port Perry attack.

Ro SA AS AF rg Rs to Bowmanville by Bob Storry Grant Menzies Motors Midget 1 team played home and home exhibition games with Bowmanville 1 Minor Midgets this past week-end and came out both times on theshortendof 4to 1 and 2 to 1 scores. Port's attack was some- what scrambly at times as the team was experimenting with various line combina- tions, and had several differ- ent boys in the line-up for each game. Penalties were Port's ulti- "mate downfall as Bowman- ville scored 4 of their 6 goals while one or more of our players looked on from the penalty box. The goal-tending chored for Port were split between 'Archibald, Franssen and Nicholishen. There is a definite shortage of Midget goal tenders in P.P.M.H.A. to date and it appears these three boys are going to have a busy winter guarding the nets for Port's two Midget All-Star teams. The only two scoring plays for Port were Cannon from "Johnson and Storry on Fri- day night at home and Andrews from Storry and Heard, back in Bowmanville on Saturday. night. Port hit a couple of good goal posts Saturday night and in- both games were unable to finish off their plays on several good scor- ing opportunities. One goal a game isn't going to win many hockey games, but undoubtedly there will be a marked improvement in this depart- ment once the lines are set and the boys have a few good practices and get to know each others' moves. After only three exhibition games, it's maybe a little early to draw any conclu- sions; however the real strength of this team ap- pears to be in the overall balance. We may not haveany 4 or 5 goal-a-game shooters, but we have 15 guys who are going to play exciting, hard hitting, good two-way hockey. Those 15 guys at present are: Goal - R. Franssen, and G. Archilbald. Defence - C. Brown and M. Tobin, H. Storry and S. Heard. For- wards - C. Menzies, M. Andrews and D. Potts, T. Wilbur, D. Alexander and B. Barr, P. Johnson, R. Cannon and G. Kroonenberg. Decide to seek appeal The Ontario Human Rights v Commission announced October 2 its decision to seek an appeal from the judgment of the Supreme Court of Ontario in the cases of Gail Cummings and the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and Brent Bannerman and the Ontario Rural Softball Association. The Supreme Court ruled that Section 2 of the Ontario Human Rights Code, which prohibits discrimination in access to accommodation services and facilities avail- able in a placeawhich the public is customarily admit- ted because of sex, dges not apply in the case of a young girl who is denied member- ship on a boys' minor hockey or softbal) team. Boards quiry held last year under the Code decided in the Bannerman case that girls aged up to 11 should be admitted to any softball team for which they are qualified to play, in the Cummings case, and, that minor hockey teams should be integrated at all age levels. The Commission will apply for leave to appeal the rul- ings before the Ontario Court of Appeal on October 16. ---- -- -- I Basement Floors Garage Floors Patios - Sidewalks Concrete Steps Pe » DON'S CUSTOM CONCRETE FINISHING a -------- dhe el Free Estimates WW WW WW WET p -- a -- -- -- -- -- C--O -- - 985. 2588 | One Day Tours Saturday, November 4th ICE CAPADES At Maple Leaf Gardens Thursday, November 16th ROYAL WINTER FAIR & HORSE SHOW INFORMATION & RESERVATIONS: SWEETMAN'S TAXI 985-7365 - Midgets dropgames . |. + A » 4 kJ &
