frlid atmosphere of an arena would be a deterrent to sleep but not so in the woodville rink while attending ah uhha game there on saturday night both players and spectators were heard to remark on the unusually poor condition of the ice surface finally it was learned that the man in charg of flooding operations on the previous night had fallen asleep at the switch and too much water was pumped through the hose a passerby happened to drop into the arena and awakened the slumbering manager by this time however th damage had ben done when the excess water finally froze it left an ice surface

winning scoring championships is all part of a seasons work for lanky ken sinclair for the past three years and perhaps more the fastskating forwarad has walked off with scoring honours in three separate leagues two winters back while playing with ieaside he topped the group in the goals and aisis department and was part of a combination comprising two other speedsters buss brankston and gord boniface last season sinclair tried out with the clipper but the team here couldnt cope with his desired salary so he moved to his home town of newmarket where he once again paced the club and the

handily 105 stouffville has suffered three straight setbacks and are now behind the eight ball they must now win the next three remaining games in order to pull the series out of the fire and continue on into further playoff competition it would be foolish to say that it cant be done they proved this fact against oakville when down two games to none they rallied to sweep the next three georgetown plays a different type of hockey however although not as smooth as the meteors they are a hard checking club and are backed by good goaltending dusty rhodes like norm stunden can be really tough if his team can give him a two or three goal advantage on tuesday night the clippers dropped an import ant 52 derision a game they should have won the homesters seemed to- lack the drive they showed in
