last years championship team back plus several new faces and a couple of games under their belts to boot the tanners have been practicing for the past three weeks wiih freshman coach fred kentner havlnga problem more coaches wish they could face so many good players to choose from its hard to say who to pick for the opening game hell likely use the formula most coaches do when this problem occurs play the veterans hes sure of use the others alternately until hes able to assess them in a game friday nights game will answer a lot of questions for both coach and manager by the time orangcvllle comes back here a week from friday theyll have a better idea of which players will see continuous action the success of coixingwoods entry in the ohas senior a scries with players who toiled in intermediate ranks for many seasons fortified with a few former pros illustrates how much the gap- has narrowed between the better intermedi and the- seniors in the seasons first eight games the georgian chinas as the collingwood crew is now called have never tasted defeat theyve scored 43 goals and had 21 pucks in ihcir own net for a far better record than any other team in the 10 team league its not likely chinas record will remain unbroken hov ever with teams like gait woodstock guelph and kingston in the league competition will get much keener as the season pro gresses teams with the big bankrolls attract top talent and lake over from those with limited means then guelph regafls for instance are aputcd to have started the season with something like 10 grand in the kitty last year rcgals were in the red for thai amount at the end of the season and guelph went all the way to the eastern finals with sherbrooke beavers a town collinpwoods size despite a fast start which will undoubtedly earn a playoff position hasnt got that kind of money to spend unless the china crew has a daddy in a sugar bowl set theyll have to rely on what they take in at the gate to tide them over the season even if home appearances attracted fans from the highest crag of the blue mountains collingwood cant pack any more than a couple of thousand into their rink a trip to kingston can eat into those profits like a dinosaur at a lunch for the ladles aid it the plight of the two tailend teams in the league orrllia and barrie is a good example of how badly a club can fare if they havent got the resources or the players orillia had one win to show lor seven games at this writing cellardwelling barrie had a record exactly the opposite of collingwoods no wins and eight losses when youre
