Ls i i . Mls PRG 5 by Bill Fitsell "Af = ] y - re a Aa PA hah 3 PE: AAY-OFF REVIEW-- When 'Cannington's' bustling Bluéshirts: invade the Memorial Garden to-morrow (Friday) night local fans could be getting a pre view peak of ORHA senior playdowns. The Nicholson clan and imports, who have 'been: leading the TrjsCounty loop most of the way, have, according to reports, been re-classified -as senior dfter Spvorting as intermediate for several seasons." This mesns that Sutton eenshirts, Haliburton Huskies, 'the local Ports and the C's C's will clash" in the play-offs to decide thé league's entry in' the ORHA playdawns. Cannington and Sutton are fighting it out for top spot while Haliburton and Port Perry are well down the standing of the nine team loop. However, there's not much between either of the squads as Haliburton'has taken the locals who in turn have edged Sutton who hold victories over Cannington and the latter have at least one victory over the Huskies. All of which points to some spirited playdowns ahcad. Cannington could be on the Port's list so coach Abe Cawker should have his Redmen going all out to-morrow eve, This task may be tougher than their opening game in Canning- ton as the Brock Township club have added several players including J. Quinlan, a former St. Michael's Buzzer and Dugey Brandon and Jack 'Anderson of Sunderland. The Redmeén have improved, too, since their 9-6 loss in overtime, by adding Glen VanCamp on defense and Bob Galpin and Les Clarke. -The Ports have shown they can step with the best of them, especially on fast ice, and should they get over that one bad ried jinx' they could be the dark-horse threat in the playdowns. They might even throw a scare into Cannington here on the morrow for the locals would like nothing better than to- Sar w= whip hustling D' Arey Drury and his mates. : « MINOR ENTRIES SHOW SPIRIT-- (Stem Congrats are due to coach Ron Gohl and his, juvenile club, although outclassed by Stouffville, went down fighting in their best displays of the year. After thumping losses in league play the boys came back to battle Stouffville 3-0 at home and continued to improve as they lost 8-5-here Monday night . . One reason for thé team's: improvement may be their quick 'swing-shift' that coach Gohl had the boys doing, He had the forward: lines and defense changing on nearly every whistle and the short trips seem to give them that extra spurt. This is' recommended by Turk Broda wha told us he gives his Weston Dukes turns of 90 seconds and makes them go.all out for that minute and a half. .,.. Jack Owen came up with some fine goal- tending against Stouffville and OMHA representative 2 -------Jim-Austin-of- Stouffville was praising-the-kid's work. -- Incidentally -- 'Jack may get a drill with Weston Dukes, thanks to Broda . . .. Bantams and Midgets start OMHA competition tonight against Can- nington with the return game on Friday Night. This is a- tough opening round for the boys of Joc Fowler and Jack Starkey, but at least one team should pull out a win after their exhibition series with Sunder- land. Cannington will be showing some of the players that "went to the OMHA Bantam "C" finals against Elmira last season so fans should be due for some good hockey. ...,. 'Shep' of the Suttoii "Reporter comments on the Ports recent trip there:- "Catching the eye of the fans as well as the Sutton forwards was the fine work of Glen Till and Ron Wallace with the lanky Till being particularly "prominent. that, Port Perry and Sutton-arénas combined could't hold the crowds. n It is sincerely hped that they meet. again in the playoffs." Moana AN "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING" Dr. R. S. Irwin, president of Port Perry Hockey Club was quite upset over the jword 'businessmen' as used in last week's story on Turk Broda, Apparently that is the wrong word to use to explain the donors for this fine program although on a previous write-up on the same subject no objection was raised. Contrary to President Irwin's opinion we don't care personally who donated the nioney that made this project possible but we think that whoever they are, businessmen, doctors, lawyers, Indians, thieves or retired gentlemen, Basketball playoffs are HoArin: - PPHS sefilors walloped Whitby but "the juniors were nosed out and older lads now meet St Peter's School of Peterborough in the first playdown. . .

The Cawkermen | broke their five game losing streak with a 5-4 victory ovér Keswick Com- 'l ets here Friday, dropped a close 8-7 decision in Woodville , Saturday and roared back with 11-6 victory over Little 'Britain at Memorial Gardens Tuesday night. Playing » without sentisnian Don Mark, the Ports used a reshuffled line-up to gain their first victory of the year against I'Britain and the largest crowd "of the sdéason seemed to enjoy despite the absence of the visitor's regular netminder. The lo- cals took full advantage of Britain's late arrival and the second-string goaltending to rack up a 5-1 lead in the, first, gain a 4-3 edge in the second and split four goals in the third, The homesters showed their best marksmanship of the year in routing the LB's but it took defenseman Mac Christie to break the ice around the six minute mark in the first. The rushing red-head soloed for the initial counter and added another all alone after the other leading marksmen, Glen Till and Ken Mark clicked. Mere- dith-McKee completed the first period scoring. * Lew McTaggart, the rangy centre- man, who paced the visitors attack along with Sandy Ferguson and Jum- bo Jenkins, scored his team's opening > goal late in the first on a'blazing long shot that just nicked the inside of the post. In the second Port con- tinued their sniping with Glen Van Camp, Gerry Hunter, Ron Wallace Ferguson turned the hat- trick for the losers. The shifty Till notched hi§ second of the night from Ken: Mark to open the third and the latter completed his three-goal effort on a three way pass. ing play seconds later. ~ Little Britain took. ovér the attack and gave the Ports some anxious moments the rest of the night as goalie Keith Sweetman had to he on the job. McTaggart made it 11-5 and then passed to Jen- kins for the final counter just before the half-way. mark of the period but the Ports held the fort the rest of the way. ; Crowder, in filling in:between the pipes for Britain's missing goaltender, came up with a good effort despite being strange to the héavy equipment. Only some poor clearing early in the game by his mates and some sharp shooting by the winners made the dif- ference. Port Perry's roster, top heavy with out. Bud Heard played a strong game on the blue-line as did -Howey and (two-goal) Christie" while Van Camp worked well on the wing and young Pat. Hayes, who made his debut in 'anid Ken "Mark wdding tallies "while | tions: defensemen, came up with -a good 3 team effort with everyone going all' Woodville, turned in a real effort. The pairing of Ron Wallace with Till gave the. Ports a strong line along with Ken Mark and McKee worked hard in filling in Don Mark's centre posi. In Woqgville Saturday the Ports came through with 'a sustained last minute drive after trailing 8-2 early inthe third but their five goal splurge fell one shorts The Woods took a 4-1 lead in the first and led 6-2 after two.
