Busy week for MoJacks Win two of four road games by Danny Millar The Port Perry MoJacks completed their most ard- uous test so far this season when they played five games in eight nights, along with two practices. They did quite well as they won two of four road games last week. Their most recent outing was a close 5-4 loss Sunday to Bowmanville Eagles in the rink of the defending all- Ontario Jr. C. champs. Eagles eked out a 54 win on two goals in the last five minutes of thé game. Defenceman Steve Jones gave the puck away at the Eagles blue line and was caught up the ice on a two on one break, as Eagles got the tying goal. Carl Chambers scored it from Don Farrow and Randy MacDonald. Far- row and MacDonald also were given assists on Tom Dwyer's second period goals and MacDonald added another goal and an assist. The winning goal was also scored on a Port Perry error, when they attempted to clear the puck out of their own end and had it redirected onto the stick of defenceman Mark Berney who rifled a perfect low slap shot into the net behind Merle Schewaga. It was Schewaga's third game in goal for the Mo- Jacks and he was a standout in all of them. Twice during the game he stopped Farrow on clear breaks. '"Merle has been playing rather well," said MoJacks coach Doug Scott. Schewaga and Ray- mond Gibson have been giv- en equal playing time be- tween the pipes and so far Schewaga has been more consistent. A second period fight erupted as Darrin Jobb and Bowmanville center Jerry Johnson began slashing at each other beside the Port Perry goal. It evolved into fisticuffs when Johnson tripped Jobb and began pummelling him. Jobb end- ed up with a severe welt and a cut under his eye. After Johnson got up he put on an act that came out of the movie "Slapshot". He raised both arms in the champion's salute and threw his torn jersey high into the air. After the penalties were an- nounced he let out another cheer.' Charles Tyson, who had been playing along the blue- line, attempted to help Jobb and was given a game mis- conduct penalty. He is also suspended for two games. Later in the game another Port defender Rob Kemp, was felled by a shot off his ankle, and did not return. Kemp and Jobb 'should be okay by Friday," stated Scott. The MoJacks visit Uxbridge on that occasion. Earlier in the season Jobb had been playing as a for- ward and Rob Garrow as a defender. Now those roles have been switched. FRG 7 hen % PO OR NII VT SE PRBS STK: x 2 25 Darrin's going to play de- fence. He's played well back there, " according to coach Scott. Phil Cochrane with two, Stu Cochrane, and Steve Geer were the MoJacks marksmen. Clark Menzies, who plays center wing played his strongest game of the year as he got two assists. After the game a visibly frustrated Port Perry skipp- er showed a lot of class by giving commentary on his team's performances through the week. Scott felt that his team had played well "considering we used all the boys and gave everybody a chance to make the team. The defence is improving but they're still making mistakes that are costly." Scott pointed out that they are carrying a couple of players over the limit and that with fewer games and more practices in November the axe is about to fall. The other MoJack loss was another one point difference, this time 6-5 to Stouffville, on Wednesday, October 17. The MoJacks were miss- ing superb forward Bill Bridge for the match and at times the abscence of his two way style was evident. The Clippers scored a goal in the first period and anoth- er in the second when de- fenceman John Robertson (Turn to page 25) WW The following ladies were amon Ladies Curling Club in 1954. Front { Clara Martyn. Second row: Rebec Jean Gray and Marie Snooks. by Phyllis Geer Port Perry Curling Club, Lady Curlers held their annual Pot luck supper on October 17th, 1979. This year was more than just a get- together to begin a new season. It was a re-union of 25 years of Curlers. Upon entering the Curling Club, a guest book was sign- ed and a display of pictures of "by-gone" years were viewed. Clara Martyn and Marie Snooks, being the only two active original members, did a splendid job of organizing the evening. Seated at the head table, were the Past Presidents which included the first President, Mrs. Marjorie Burnett. There were fifteen Past Presidents in attend- ance and they were present- ed with corsages. The Past Presidents each read "perils of wisdom", which was handed to them impromptu from Clara. This created much laughter from their large audience. After a delicious supper, the lounge area became a relaxed atmosphere, with several past members rem- iniscing. This was a very enjoyable time of the even- ing, when we heard of many past experiences. We learn- ed the footwear has changed somewhat. Our earlier members have taught us through their experiences "you don't wear rubber boots to a Toronto Curling g the first charter members of the Port Perry rom left: Jeanette Hutchinson, Marj Burnett, ca Bruton, Alma Cox, Verna Griffen. At back Club, nor a high healed pair of boots to curl in; a Curling broom works a little better than a house broom, and that it doesn't hurt to carry an extra pair of slacks to a bonspiel." The curling days in the old arena created a great deal of amusement. It was said by a member, 'to become a skip, it wasn't the skill of curling that got you there, it was whether you had enough strength to get the rock to the house." Going down Memory Lane we learned that the condi- tions of curling have certain- ly changed over-the years, but the social end has remained the same. June Crosier, who travelled from Huntsville for the occasion 'gave new members some good advice, "Winning a game is really not important as long as you have fun, because after all 90 percent of the time you don't win." Helen Parish, this year's President, and her executive have a busy year -ahead. Many anniversary events have been planned. A fash- ion show at the club on October 23rd and 24th, is the next event. There are sever- al 25th anniversary souven- iers, including pins, stick pins, and mugs, which can be purchased at the club, for anyone wishing to have one. It is hoped that many people will join us to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our club. ®
