Brooklin Evens Series, Then Drops Fifth Game in Parry Brooklin's 4-2 victory in Parry Sound on Tuesday night plus their Saturday win in Port Perry vaulted " their championship hopes on a par with the northern team. Over 1750 fans poured into the Port Perry Arena on Saturday night to witness one of the greatest and most spectacular games of the entire season as the com- bines dumped the Shamrocks, 7-4. Parry Sound, 'after figuring on sweeping thé series four straight, have had their eyes opened considerably by the high flying Brooklin team who have the undying will of never giv- ing up until the final bell. On Tuesday night Brooklin travel- led to Parry Sound for the fifth game, and although they had considerible home town support, it was proven that it just wasn't their night, as they lost the game to the tune of 11-2, Parry Sound started to rough the game up' from the first whistle and = Brooklin who are not used to this type of hockey could not seem to click. The northern réferees seem to enjoy groveh hockey as all northern ganies "¥seem to be this way, ant as usual the home team gets away with it. The series now stands at 3 games -to 2 for Parry Sound. © The sixth game will be played in Port Perry on Thursday (to-night). ~_ This could be the championship game 0 [ should be well worth seeing. After watching Brooklin all season we know that they will be out there to force| a seventh and deciding game. If a seventh game is necessary it will pro- bably be played in Port Perry. NOTE--Will all the Brooklin fans please read this carefully. There is to be absolutely no smoking in the Arena. The Parry Sound team have complained of the smoke. There are new NO SMOKING signs all over the arena. If the fans do not obey these signs and there is to be a seventh game the Parry Sound crew have re- fused to play this game in Port Perry. If the fans continue to smoke in the arena the seventh game will probably be played in Newmarket. So FANS let's obey these signs so we can have the seventh game (if it is necessary) played here in Port Perry. Catholic Women's League MRS.
