send Midland to overtime in the third game the folks up north say its a good job the series ended there Like you we have our ideas about rating for the especially seven players who were on the team that defeated a Hawks Messrs Fryer Wnlmsley Morrill Dance Bar rett and Meek and won title Add to that savin Hudson and Walker from the champions nnd you have experienced play era while Collins Leonard and Smith who are either imports or juvenile promotions fit in with the rest like veterans A the above called for promotion to junior B despite any population ruling junior teams have been beaten this year by the Shirt two in regular competition termediato experience as well as junior and show it in their play Master for instance in games this season has bagged HO goals and assists for a point total That speaks for Dance and Morrill are in the over class and so is young Collins Walker is also near the leaders That means a goalies nightmare in anybodys language The Bears will give their best Wi point out the above just to remind the funs who like to join the anvil chorus what our kids are up against The series is not hopeless and one thing we can be thankful for Is that most of the drop out of junior this season unless the raises the ago limit Charlie in progame strategy was planning to use seven forwards in plate of three lines for the first game Without singling out players theres no denying the fact that the size and inexperience of or two doesnt give three bal anced lines and a poor line at best can only act as a time spell er and against you wont bo able to for a mo- merit The Bears hove played plenty of games to put the seven in condition A fourman defence will bo toeed with Andy Class doubting In brass up front as well It may be different on Friday but that was pitch for Wednes day So far as the defence is concerned they can either moke or break the club especially the performances of Fines and who have been going off the beam so far as puck control and clearing
