Championship Master Feeds "Taleo's" Pee Wee's again showed predominant strength in skating and stick handling as they captured the Peterboro District Cham- pionship in Peterboro on Saturday last. The "Taleo's" went through the three game schedule in pro style, scor- ing thirteen goals and only having four scored against them! After the first game of the day® wag played be- tween Peterboro and Havelock, Port found that Peterboro was to be their rivals for. the second game. beaten Peterbovo in Lindsay a week or two before they had no fear of what they could do if they worked hard.

At the final whistle the score board read Port Perry b, Peterhoro 1. After a short rest the local lads took on. Lindsay for their second game of the day. Although the score was not as high as the first game, we feel that they had more opposition in the first with Peterborugh. The Port lads looked like veal champions in this game as'they did in all three contests. They took command from the first whistle and by the final gong Lind- say knew that they had been in a game of hockey and I must say that they were not very good losers. ) rion managed to score two goals during the three periods but the Port champs put on a display that managed to go them two better and "counted four.
