Muskies and Cougars by John B. McClelland With solid weekend vic- tories over Lindsay and Cobourg, the Port Perry MoJacks moved into sole possession of third place an appear to be hitting a peak form just in time for the first round of the Junior C hockey playoffs. The two wins give Mo- Jacks 34 points in the stand- ings, two more than Cobourg and Lindsay. However, MoJacks have four games remaining, while Cobourg has two and Lindsay one. The Port Perry squad got the weekend off to a good start Friday night in Lindsay when they whipped the Muskies 6-3 (see story on page 21 for details) and then returned to the Scugog Arena Sunday night to completely dominate Co- bourg Cougars to the tune of 8-2. The game Sunday night was probably the best all- round performance the team has turned in on home ice this season, sparked by the four-point performance of right winger Bill Bridge who fired two goals and set up two others, and linemate Phil Cochrane who also had two goals and two assists. Bridge opened the scoring at 3:21 of the first on a good three way passing play from Cochrane and Rob Greiner. That line clicked again less than a minute later when Greiner found the mark with a shot along the ice, and MoJacks were ahead to stay. Gord Sharp got one back for the Cougars at the seven minute mark. Cochrane got his first of the night at 12:28 taking passes from Bridge and Colin Wackett, and then at 17:05 he scored the pret- tiest goal of the evening, outracing two Cobourg defenders for a loose puck and batting it into the net as he fell to the ice. While Port took a 4-1 lead into the dressing room after 20 minutes of play, the first period might have had a different outcome as GMC JIMMY PHIL WHEN THE BACK a ROADS BECKON, JIMMY! j 150 Water St. - 985-7309 Cobourg hit three goal-posts in the first seven minutes, and MoJack goalie Charlie Durward had to be sharp on several occasions. At the 13-minute mark forward Darrin Jobb was thrown out of the game and assessed nine minutes in penalties. Jobb caught a high stick from a Cobourg forward. He retaliated and then dropped his gloves and landed a couple of punches. Jobb. wound up out of the game and with two minutes for slashing, and five min- utes for being the aggressor in a fight which automatical- ly means an additional two minute minor. However; just two minutes later the Cougars found themselves short a player after Wayne Rurabeck took a five minute major for high-sticking Mark Jobb. He caught Jobb in the throat with the stick and the high scoring MoJack forward had to be helped from the ice. The injury was not serious and Jobb returned to play in the second period. The Cougars looked _ like they might still make a game of it at the five minute mark of the second when Rick Tryon drifted a long shot from centre that seemed to catch Durward off guard. But Mark Jobb clicked with a good back-hand along the ice at 13:36, and three minutes later Brad Nichol- son upped the lead to four goalS'gs he took a centering pass from Gord Hintze and made no mistake with a 20-foot blast from the slot. Early in the third MoJacks could have found themselves in trouble when Bill Owen took a questionable five minute slashing major. However, Port Perry had little difficulty keeping Cougars off the score sheet and Brad Nicholson added insult to injury when he scoerd a short-handed goal on a breakaway at 7:27. That made it 7-2 and for the rest of the period Mo- Jacks completely dominated play and only some clever work by Cougar goalie Glen Davis kept the score from going into double digits. Bill Bridge rounded out the scoring late in the third on a set-up from Greiner and defenséman Bob Kemp. MoJacks got solid perfor- mance from all three lines, and the defensive corps provided good protection for Durward. When he was tested in the first period, Durward held his ground and made several key stops. Defenseman Bill Owen had one of his best games as a MoJack, controlling the puck in his own end and feeding clearing passes to his for- (Turn to page 21) PeeWees win, lose and tie by Len Franssen On-Thursday,- Stone Real" Estate Pee Wees hosted the Oshawa Red Wings.

Five minutes later Jeff Wallace scored to tie the game, with assists going to Trevor Kennedy and Kevin Fowler. Port tried to get the winner but the Oshawa goalie and defence managed to hold out until the final whistle. On Friday Port enter- tained a very strong team from Markham. The lop- sided score did not reflect the true play as Port failed to capitalize on about 5 excel- The final score being 8-1 for Markham. Port's goal was scored by Pete Revoire assisted by Fred Cockerton. Stone's Real Estate Pee Wee's are to be congratu- lated for their "never say die' attitude. On Saturday, Stone Real Estate travelled to the Old Arena for a return game against the Oshawa Red Wings. This time it was Port who jumped into a 3-0 lead on goals by Mike Fluke, Jeff Wallace and Dean Haugen with assists going to Dean Haugen, Fred Cockerton and Trevor Kennedy. It was Oshawa's turn to recover from a 3 goal deficit. They tried hard scoring twice within a minute in period two while the Port team seemed content with their lead. However, this seemed to shake the local boys and they were soon on track with a goal by Trevor Kennedy assisted by Mark McConnell. The Red Wings managed to get back in the game late in the third period when they fired one home. Stone's Real Estate held on to win 4-3.
