Brooklin Hillcrests clost out their OLA Senior schedule this week-end with a home and home series against the St. Catharines Athletics, beginning Friday night in the Garden City and ending Saturday at Brooklin. According to unofficial statistics (ap- parently the OLA don't believe in keeping up-to-date tab on standings etc, in either Junior or Senior) the Hillcrests with a double win would end the year tied for third position with St. Kitts. Brooklin won a 13-11 on Wednesday night with only eight players, including a goaltender from Hast- ings Legionnaires Junior club. Terry Davis accounted high-scoring outburst in ¥ DAVIS HITS 135 By CLIFF GORDON Whitby Red Wings last night rounded out their schedule with a 147 win over the St. Cath- arines Athletics at the local arena. The win did not help the local team in their team stand- ings but did do a lot for that "little bombshell" Johnny Davis in a scoring way. Johnny broke loose for five goals and seven assists to run his season's total to 92 goals and 43 assists for a total of 135 points. His nearest rival is Johnny Roberts of Fer- gus with 62 goals and 60 assists for 122 points. Therefore Davis has a 13-point lead with Roberts having one game left to play, tonight in Brampton. Other goal scorers for the Wings, hard working captain Kenny Ross had three, Ronnie Moore had two with single coun- ters going to Frank Wilkinson, Mike Gray, Barry Campbell and Elmer Tran. For the losers there was narry a repeat scor- er. Doug Favell, Bill Mallett, Al Doberstein, Pete Berge, Pat Cheevers, Bill Thorne and Jim McGrath were the light blink- ers. Skip Toy played a standout game in goal for the Wings and even gained a well earned as- sist on the final goal of the sec- ond period. The game was a big one for young Johnny Davis as he took the floor as he wanted more than anything in the world to come up wi a big scoring game, He had his folks there watching and they were justly proud of him. St. Catharines, however, were not going to let the star have an easy night and they checked him closely in the first two periods. In fact, so close that Davis could not get the running room he needed. However, the game little fellow that he is, waited his time and got the breaks as they came and went wild in the final frame as he racked up eight points. He said after he would have liked to scored 100 goals for the sea- son. The fans were all listening closely for the announcements of the goals and assists to see if Davis was in on the official scoring. There were only two goals, one by Moore in the sec- ond period and one by Ross on| la pass from Cook in the third | period that Davis did not figure lin.
