Deaths BURR, John H.--At the Oshawa Gen- period oy 2 Avply Legionnaires Eke Out 5-4 Win At Port Hope Whitby Legionnaires made it| two wins in as many nights last night in Port Hope whe. they downed the Radium lads by a close 5-4 score. It was a fast clean hard fought game with both teams giving everything they could to get the extra marker. This is Whitby's. third win of the season all of them are against the 'B' group teams in the league in which Whitby is a member. Port Hope started off very fast and banged their first marker past Prillips in the local net in the first minute of play, it ssem- ed ag if the Port lads were all out to revenge the 6-0 defeat they had suffered at the hands of the lo- cals in their previous engagement. Whitby came to life mid-way through the frame and tied the score up at one all and went out in front to stay, Heard and Bragg being the marksmen, Whitby increased their lead to two goals as Heard scored his sec. ond goal of the game as B, Doug- lag was sitting out a minor pen- alty. Port Hope got one goal back in this frame as Dilling was ban- ished for chargi ng and the locals were short handed, McCloskey put the Legionnaires two out in front as he combined with Heard who set him up very well in front of the Port Hope goal. Ports Make Bid Port Hope made a last period bid to tie it up but fell on. short of the Whitby lads who were play- ing heads up hockey, especially Phillips who was subbing in the absence of P, Burkhart and did a grand job of puck blocking. Kel- ler opened the scoring for the Ports on a pass from Kelly, Brown followed with the best goal of the game as he let go one of those bullet like shots he is known to pack. Dilling passed the puck behind the Port net to Bragg who in turn shot it out to Brown just inside the blue line and made no mistakes in racking 3p the Whitby team's fifth tally of the game, Port made another bid in the last couple of minutes to tie it . » but their efforts were to little success. This was one of the best games Whitby have played this season and it appears as if the local club are well organized now and should really go places. Whitby will play their next home game on Monday Jan. 27, whea they tangle with Peterborough Legion so be on hand and support the local lads, Line Ups PORT HOPE--Goa), Ander- son; Defence, B.
