They'll have to be in top form to take the measure of the rampaging Lions, who last Saturday trimmed Osh- awa, last year's provincial inter- mediate champs, in an exhibition tilt. The clash has all the ear- marks of a tidy tussle, and merits a full measure of spectator sup- ( 7 all season, juveniles ousted Bud Corbett's the series by a 41 score.
