the past three years and theyre gunning for their fourth straight tltlo theres no doubt theyve got a strong club a woll balanced attack and speed to burn its a treat to watch them play even when theyre taking your homo town team to the cleaners friday night hero they meet a toam which up to this writing hasnt won a game but we predict theyll have their hands full if the tanners can field their full uneup theyve been improving every time out last friday for instance the strong durham hus kies really had to hustle to take homo a win they got some sur prisingly good goalkeeping that gave them the edge whon tho tanners sharpshoot ers start hitting tho net moro regularly you can depend on it thoyll come up with more than their share of victories tho lato start is a big factor in the acton clubs slow start but theres also a problonf with get ting players to report regularly to practices and games hardly a game goes by that the uneup doesnt change radically making it virtually impossible for coach max stafford to regulate unas evenly there were signs last friday that the team in spite of all the drawbacks is starting to jell there is still some experiment ing to be done some weaknesses to plug but theyre showing pot ential of being the best balanced club to wear acton livery todate theres no doubt about it the tanners could use the three local players who are playing junior c hockey in milton but they dont want to spoil the hockey picture there kevin hall jan riddall and gary talllefer have easily fitted into the fast company in that league and could certainly help the tanners out crowds here have been as good or better as any in the league but probably the biggest crowd of the season will be on hand this fri day night to watch the tanners take a whack at
