with orillia was switched on and off so many times last weekend that by the time saturday night arrived many fans didnt know whether the affair was really going ahead or not with the result that instead of the expected thirteen or fourteen hundred fans under a thousand were on hand tonights wednesdays game is expected to see a full house as this third game was definitely advertised in time toronto meteors were chiefly responsible for the tieup they insisted on playing a final scheduled game with midland although fol lowing their defeat by markham on thursday the game could not alter their fourthplace position this game was at one time slated to go on in stouffville and was later switched to midland thus the start of the markhammeeor series was held up until tuesday of this week the late start of this series has also upset plans for meteors to come here for their home games this week whether or not- ar rangements will be made foj- them to play markham here next week is not known at the moment toronto meteors have certainly been the bad boys of the local hockey group in more ways thanj one in addition to running hither and yon all over tile map to play their games theyve

referees in the local senior series can get away with charging the outrageous fi gure of 40 for handling a single game however thats the amount the two officials carried away from the saturday night orilliacipper game in stouffville ordinarily in league games where one referee and a linesman are used the charge amounts to 25 in saturday nights affair two re ferees were sent by the oha and it was expected the job would cost 30 which is nice picking for a couple of hours work but no such luck the officials claimed the price had been upped for the playoffs 5 apiece making a neat lake of 10 in addition the oha cut a 5 slice out of the gross gate for their share oh to run a hockey team incidentally the 20 each charged by these referees is only 10 less than the rate charged for the j tin- for a playoffs at the gardens but here trie gate receipts of fifteen to twenty thousand dollars a game can afford such a juicy cut a lot of people think that play ers have caught the high salary fever to the extent that sooner or later theyll kill the game 1 would appear that the officials too are doing their share of grabbing clippers pick up 29 scoring points in final league game clipper scorers cut

semifinals with 83 win over orillia after coming out of the first per iod trailing 31 stouffville clippers bounced right back to hand orillia bombers an s3 setback in the first round of their current three-out-of- five semi final round the two leading scorers during the season don couch and gord lewis really went all out firing four of the teams 8 markers gord lead with three goals and two assists while his speedy linemate picked up two goals and as manv assists hoch berg who has snown steadily to be one of the most consistent defence- men in the league turned in a strong game noth offensively and defensively ross set the visitors back on their neels with the tying goal and assisted on one other his marker was scored on a solo breakaway which proved to be the turning point in the game as the locals blinked the light on five successive occasions without reply from the enemy goalie harper turned in another steady game in the nets as did ross of the bom bers although he could not stop the blueshirts once they started to roll couch started the scoring in the somewhat scramblv first period from lewis but orillia struck back two minutes later when varty blinked the light from d bowen the bowen brothers by far the best for the visitors swooped in again with al beating harper from close in while brother doug set up scott for the bombers third goal the period ended with the ioeals down 31 after getting a bad first period out of their systems the clippers hit the ice with a determination to get back in the game and their guns trained on the enemy net sayliss opened the second period scoring from hopper to give the home town boys new hope at 1s28 hochberg stepped from the penalty box and picked up a pass at the blue line to skate in alone for the tying goal both teams skated into the final frame deadlocked at three goals a- piece but before seven minutes had ticked by lewis always johnny on the spot had poked three markers by goalie ross at 1310 with whitney of orillia serv ing time lewis again set up couch who skated in alone to outguess ross with a perfect shot bradbury ended the scoring parade for the night as he flipped in mintons re bound after clarke had set up the play although the homesters have the first all important game tucked under their belts no doubt the visi tors will settle down to turn the series into a close battle it wasa determined bunch of puck- chasers that faced the clippers when they lined up on orillia ice for the second game of their senior playoff series on monday night for two periods the bombers outeheck- ed and outskated the local blue shirts and piled up a five goal margin then the clippers came to life for fifteen minutes of the last per iod orillia just couldnt cope with the speed and passing formations that swept in over their blue line hopper lewis couch and drum mond banged home four goals in thatfifeen and were closing in for the tying counter when scott broke loose at centre and speeded in on the unprotected harper to sink the clincher for orillia from then on stouffville drew back and turned off their sizzling attack as if a tap had been turned off orillia once more gained the initiative and antonia and a bowen scored another pair in the dying moments brown got three for the bombers scott two and varty payne and antonia singles stouffville had six penalties most of them of a very foolish nature orillia players were banished from the ice on five occasions the orillia win tied the round and the crucial third game was slated for stouffville this wednes day night with the fourth game back in orillia saturday night the series has been reduced from fouroutofseven to threeoutoffive so that all could be over this week if a fifth game is necessary it will be played back in
