Terrace Timbermen
almoat did Sunday what two
weeku ago most people
would have thought im-

the Prince Rupert Kings.

afterward. The second
perlod was not a good one for
the Timbermen, who had
almost four consecutive
minutes of powerplay at the
end of the period. The Kings
took two bad penalties, one a
useless tri
bermen's blue line at 14:55
and a dumb holding penaity
at the Rupert blue ne at:
17:24 which alowed the
Timbermen @ two-man
advantage for 29 seconds,
Failure to capitalize on these
Advantages nearly cost the
Timbermen the game.

The third period was a
rougher period than elther of
the other two, and featured
almost a8 much fast skating
aa the first. An exciting
period of hockey, the play of
the two teams had the until-
then quiet crowd making a
Surprising amount of noise.

Lee Marleau. made the
score 4-3 on a thret-on-two
Play when he tsed the
defenceman as a screen and
blasted a slapshot past
Clifford. Poulson and Doug
MeVey got aasista on the
Goal, which came early at
57.

The Timbermen again
found themeelves under a lot
of pressure in the firat half of
the third period, and had
trouble clearing the puck
again. The defence was
backing in, instead of taking
the man, and very few hits
were made iby. Timbermen
defencemen in the open ice
away from the boards.
Veaudry hit the post at. the
seven-minute mark, and at
9:38 Rupert got what ap
peared at the time to be the
insurance marker, mal
the score 53, Again the
Timbermen were caught on
a3on-1, with a nice two-man
passing play between
Stephens and Gordie Coons
resulting .in a Coons, goal
froma right in frant of the net, ;

The Timberinen refused to
cave in, though, and came
back to apply pressure on the
Kings. The fans began to
razz the Kings, and as the
action got rougher and
faster, the arena became
noticeably noisier, The

Caledonia Senior Secon:
dary in Terrace hosted a
soccer playday Saturday,
which saw Prince Rupert
Senior Secondary flex its
muscles and bounce both Cal
and Mount Elizabeth
Secondary from Kitimat, 7-8
and &1 reapectively.

In the Cal-PRSS game
Saturday morning, Simon
Dodd, Martin Sterner and
Joe Pitzoff scored for Cal in
a losing cause. Doug Inglis,
who co-coaches the Cal
squad with He Dreger,
sald “We had all kinds of
excuses, but they just
whipped us."

“PRSS gets full marks for
‘both games," Inglis said, He
said the key to the Rupert
school’s team is Arnie
Meers, a grade 11 student
who scored five goals in each

game,
“Meers has all the right
moves, everything just

worked for him today,” .

according to Inglis, Meera
comes from a good soccer
family, as his older brother
who graduated from PRSS
last year waa a star with the
team, and his younger
brother is a fullback with the
team, and is their best
defensive player.

But if everyone enjoys these rights, they must also share the responsibilities.
That's why the new FA.LR. program includes a Driver Accident Premium.
The implementation of the Accident Premium will place the principal
