It was the first exhibiâ€" tion win in three games for the Hawks while only the first contest of the year for the Warriors. "I‘m not displeased with the final results, but Td naturally have been hapâ€" pier if we‘d won," said Warriors coach Bob Mcâ€" Killop. "I thought we gave up one bad goal that could havemade the difference.‘" McKillop was referring to Laurier‘s second goal by Mike Collins at 5:38 of the second period. Lineâ€" mate Dave Northern dumpâ€" ed the puck off the backâ€" boards and it came out to Collins, who blasted it from a bad angle between the legs of Waterloo goalie Rick Nickelchok. Hawks opened the scorâ€" ing at 5:06 of the first perâ€" iod when Tom Butt tipped in a beautiful goalmouth pass from Collins. ‘‘That was a real nice setâ€"up," said Butt, Hawks rookieâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"year last year. ‘"‘Funny thing was, it wasn‘t even my line. Johnâ€" ny (Baker) short shifted and I got on just in time to score the goal."‘ Laurier goalie Al Macâ€" Sorley preserved the 1â€"0 lead when he made a sparkâ€" ling leg save off a breakâ€" away by Mike Longpre.

Collins® goal was the only one of the second perâ€" liod, a stanza marked by Hawks inability to convert on numerous powerâ€"play opportunties. *‘*We haven‘t practised the powerâ€"play at all this year," said the slick playâ€" maker Butt. "Right now we‘re just working things out to see what combinaâ€" tions work best. It‘ll come though, it‘s only exhibiâ€" tion." "I think our whole deâ€" fense has a lot of depth, said Neal ‘"Guys like Spider (Paul Sanson) are really coming up big, esâ€" Zettel, along with Frankâ€" ie Neal of the Hawks were the two outstanding rearâ€" guards on the ice.

The Laurier defence has to be one of the strongest I‘ve seen, there doesn‘t seem to be a weak spot on it,"" said McKillop. Warriors were only able to hold their lead for less than two minutes in that third. Leftâ€"winger Perry Mark, a secondâ€"year Hawk took ‘a faceâ€"off pass from Darryl Benjamen, faked a Warrior defender to his knees, and then snapped a quick wrist shot past Nickelchok for the game‘s final tally. The closest chance after that point came in the dyâ€" ing seconds. Hawk Jamie Kovarik, a graduate of the Kitchener Ranger Bs rushâ€" ed down the ice with nine seconds to go and blazed a high shot to Nickelchok‘s glove side. The little netâ€" minder came out to cut down the angle and made a brilliant save as the buzzer sounded. ‘"He let in one weak goal, but that stop he (Nickelchok) made at the end of the game you won‘t see anywhere." said Mcâ€" Killop. Each team had seven new faces in the lineup from last year and both squads went with four HARRY HUEHN Service worthy of your confidence â€" a tradition since 1925. lines. McKillop was espeâ€" cially pleased with the play of his defense, a sore spot from last year‘s club. "I knew guys like Randy Neal and Ed Azzola had the capabilities, but I wasn‘t sure how they‘d react under game condiâ€" tions. They showed me they‘re really here to play. I‘m happy with their efâ€" fort."
