Contest Over Port Perry's Junior Flyers 12- 7 The Oshawa "Truckmen" Srs. de- fedted the Port Perry "Flyers" Jrs. 12-7 in a wide open exhibition game played before over 800 fans in Pert Perry on Saturday night. It was a clearly played contest with only-two penalties being handed out, both going to Port Perry. 'Both teams stayed clear of cross- checking, charging and boarding of- fences and while this type of hockey i produced a high score, it was still a welcome sight to see some. fine puck 'munipulation by players of both clubs, . when these ever too-frequent offences were eliminated. Gerry Scott, who is fast rolling up to last year's pace after a slow start, 'was the individual star of the night, racking up a total of eight points, made up of four goals and four assists. Frank Hooper and Bob Holden were two goal men for the "Truckmen," with Harry Sinden, Ernie Dickens, Jed Wilson and Wally Samanski counting single goals. For the Port Perry "Flyers" Gary Copeland, and- Tommy O'Connor each scored two, with single counters go- ing to Neil Attersley, Billy Gibson and Dunc Brodie. -- The Truckmen displayed some fine passing combinations, electing to shoot only when right _in on the doorstep. Both Ross Hawe and Jackie Owen, who shared the goal tending shore for Port Perry, turned in a fine game, with Hawe being particularly brilliant in the first period. "Doc" Dafoe, veteran right winger from Whitby was in the line-up for the "Truckmen'" and may soon ink_a con- tract with the club. ; The Port Perry Flyers are next in action at home on Saturday night when they entertain the second-place Peterboro Jr. Petes.
