Fire Chief Len Scott, left, Harold Rutherford and deputy chief Charlie Miller were on hand most of the day at the Caesarea Fire Hall as they explained the use of equipment to those who came to their annual Port Perry Baptists by David Bruce The first exhibition game of the new Kawartha Baptist Hockey League season was played in Little Britain Sat- urday night, with Port Perry edging Peterborough 54 in exhibition play. Both teams, who met in last years final, played well considering the poor conditions of the arena, with its soft ice and mist- enshrouded surface. The first period belonged to Peterborough, who opéned -the scoring with Wayne Sambles weaving through a crowd to catch netminder Rob Michel off guard at 6:30. Paul Burkett added to that total as he was fed in the slot from the corner to slip one past a sprawling Port goalie. Sloppy passing and some careless defence put Port Perry in the hole early. The momentum shifted early in the second frame with Port captain John Michel stealing the puck in the offensive zone, sliding a twenty foot wrist shot past Peterborough goalie John Bourgeois. At 12:36, assist- ant captain Dave Morris, who manages to control the play whenever he is on the ice, danced and twisted his way through the Peterbor- ough defence to find himself alone against the goaltender. Last year's scoring champ- ion made no mistake beating Bourgeois low on the stick hand side. The third period saw five goals scored and hard skat- ing, end to end play. After Carl Tupler had blown past the Port defence and beaten Michel for the go ahead goal, Port Perry's Harry Michel made one of his patented end to end rushes, beating Bour- geois on a screen shot to tie G.

The two teams again trad- ed tallies with Port Perry's Dave Michel pouncing on a rebound from a Sandy Kieze- brink shot, and Joe Lonsber- ry taking a centering pass from Peterborough captain and Pastor David Payne, and simply depositing it in the open side of the goal. With the game tied at four, and a minute and a half remaining, the stage was set for the heroics of Bert Michel. Michel broke in alone, faked a shot which forced the Peterborough dE baer JE Open House. Although there was not a large crowd out to the event, those who did venture forth during the wet, cold afternoon were treated to a hot coffee and light refreshments. edge Peterborough goaltender to his knees, and lifted the puck over him to win the game. An exciting game in which four established players shone. - A relatively cool- headed John Bourgeois and a sharp Carl Tupler for Peter- borough, and big John Mich- el and a fleet-footed Dave Marris for Port Perry. One thing is clear, how- ever. Port will not waltz to the league championship as they have done in the past. They were fortunate to come out with a win against Peter- borough, who probably will remember this defeat in pre- paration for the rematch. Fenelon Falls is also a perr- ennial contender and will add to the competition. A good balance of youth and experience makes this fast, clean hockey both a refreshing and enjoyable alternative to the television professionals. Port Perry's first regular season game will be at Little Britain against Fenelon Falls at 6:00 on Saturday, October 27. Raiders defeat Redmen by Danny Millar For the third time in five football games the Port Perry High School Varsity Redmen were shut out, this time by the Raiders of And- erson at Civic Fields Oshawa on Thursday, October 18. Final score was 20-0. The Redmen played their best game of the year, des- pite the score. The first quarter was an even one with no score. Anderson gained the upper hand in the second with a converted touchdown. Dave Maw set up the score with a reception from quart- erback Tony Pittens on the Redmen 12 yard line. A swing pass to John Fusco did the damage. Fusco crossed the goal line with 24 seconds left in the half. The first half was not an entertaining one. Both offen- ces were ineffective, and each team got over the mid: field stripe only once. The Raiders converted their opp- ortunity while the Redmen were stopped. With just over four min- utes to go in the third period Pittens dropped back into the pocket and hit Maw with a pass on the Port 35 yard line. Lorne Briscoe scored the major on a draw play. Anderson missed a two-point conversion attempt, and had to settle for a 13-0 lead. After the second Raider score, the momentum seem- ed to shift for them. Port Perry, playing with less players than usual, seemed to tire. Steven McIntyre played well for the Redmen as he saw duty on defence as well as his usual running back spot. Fusco plunged over from the eight yard mark to give the Raiders a 19-0 lead with 9:28 remaining. Tony Borg's convert attempt was good. The Raiders evened their record at two wins and two losses. They had to win the game to make the playoffs. Port Perry plays host to the powerful Henry Street Hawks of Whitby on Friday October 26, in the last game of the season. Whitby, one of the top teams in LOSSA competition, trounced Port in the season opener 39-0.
