Far from being outclassed by their bigger, faster, more experienced opposi- tion, the local squad came with- in a single hoop of winning Sat- urday's tilt, being shaded by a 44-42 count. Switch Tactics With Al Nicholl, Bill Currie and Ron Anderson setting the pace, the Grads swung over from their customary zone defensive system to adopt a man-to-man checking stint. The switch paid off, and only the sharp sniping of the Brampton crew prevented Bill Hughes' first year squad from romping off with a game victory. The first game margin had a ter- rific psychological effect on Grad talwarts, however, as total points on the round counted. The locals missed Dunc Me- Tavish, star of the first contest, the stork intervening to prevent his making the trip to Brampton, A Good Effort "Naturally, the lads are dis- appointed at being knocked out of the provincial playdowns in the first round, but for a newly organized club playing a team that has been working as a unit for several years, I feel we came through with a good effort," Bill Hughes commented Monday. "We will be in there plugging again next season, if all goes well." Play Exhibitions Grads are not finished for the season as yet, however. Friday night, following the Appleby- Oakville H.S. game, they will meet an all-star team from the York Township league in the new O.THS. gym, while other exhib- ition games are being arranged to provide further experience before the lads stow away their gear for the year. Benefit Game Dixie intermediates, who suf- fered a rather rough season in first winter of O.H.A. competition and recently bowed out of the "B" series after dropping three straight to Georgetown Raiders, are stag- ing a benefit show at Dixie arena Wednesday ovening, March 8, to raise funds with which to foot hospital bills for three injured players. The show gets under way at 7 p.m. with a pair of minor playoff games, followed at 830 by pleasure skating and lucky draws. Ads is 50c. 1 that gives your skin the "mat" finish (L. B.

However, his mates were right in there plugging all the way, with Bruce Thomas, Carl Patterson, Denny Camm Red- shaw, and Goalie Chuck Terry all having their moments. For a club that was still find- ing its. ice legs as it entered the playoffs, due to lack of a regular schedule or even a practice sur- face, these youngsters showed particularly well, Their efforts against the Ports were all the more noteworthy in that the young Lions had played a com- plete Junior "C" schedule in pen- ninsula competition, and were therefore a much better condit- ioned club. Tn spite of that, the winners, as Bud Corbett put it, "knew darn well they had been in a playoff series." Lakeshores Edged In First OHA Group Playdown At Milton Although they came through with a driving finish that barely fell short, Oakville Lakeshores dropped the first game of their group final series to Milton by a 4-3 count Friday night. Breaking fast from the open- ing bell, the speedy Milton puck- sters slammed a trio of coun- ters past beleaguered Gary Le- gear before the period ended. This concentrated early thrust put the ve strictly up to Lakeshore, and the plucky - Peermen were quick to swing to the attack as the season stanza opened. A brace of tallies from the stick of Jack Davison, a prolific scorer of late, and a dazzling stick handling effort by Keith Speck put the locals right back in the hunt. But a final period Milton goal wiped out any chance Lak- ies had to force overtime play. It was an outstanding tilt from a spectator viewpoint, with sensational blocking turned in his best effort in some time. Junior Humane Notes Slowly but surely the pile of cement blocks of the Junior Hu- mane Society is growing. Six more were brought in by mem- bers last week, and by the time the men are ready to start work on the new Humane Society shelter, the youngsters should have a goodly number of blocks to contribute to the building. The next meeting of the Jun- ior society will be in Lusk Hall at 10 a.m. Saturday morning, March 11, and all those who want to at- tend the surprise party must be there. Members are asked to bring their scrap-books to be judged, and prizes will be presented for Grand Master Urges (Continued from Page 1) lodge and presented in the Cen- tury theatre.

By JIM HARRISON TEACHERS ARE ALL ALIKE Jack Carson heard this while some high school youngsters were working as extras in "Bright Leaf" at Warners: "The teacher asked," said one, bitter- ly, "that we write our term themes on a typewriter so he could read them. So I asked him to write his comments on a type- writer so we could read them!" CHUCKLE OF THE WEEK Gordon MacRae's 4-year-old jen was taking a message for papa over the phone with the con- tion going like this: "Could you please take a mes- sage?" asked the caller. "Of course," replied "Who is it?" "Mr. Jones," said the caller. 'How do you spell it?" "J-o-n-es," said the caller, There was a moment of silence then from junior plaintively: "Say, how do you make a J?" Junior. GUEST OF THE WEEK Ir H. J. J.
