This or- ganization will co-operate close- ly with the Ontario government in its campaign, and should prove an effective ally.

They didn't miss many of the bad ones, though. As a matter of rueful fact, the Braves had every reason to be thankful that they emerged from the two-game ses: Triple Trouble In the first place, rain and high winds didn't tend to attract bum- per crdwds to Wallace park, and the Braves heeded bumper crowds to help pay the operating shot. In the second place, those same winds whipped up the burlap cur- tains on the park fence, tempting scores of people info staying in their cars to watch the pigskin tilting and thus further pare down gate receipts. And in the third place, the boys got away to a bad start against Dundas Monday, and dropped a 17-1 decision--in spite of the fact that they outplayed the visitors for three quarters of the game! "It's definitely a financing rugby," lamented club prexy Sturrup Tuesday. "We took in about $83 for.the two ga- es, ard had to pay out $70 for re- ferees. A mew ball a game costs about $12, so you can see we don't have any margin for travelling ex- penses for away games.

Hook converted both majors, while Kent's boot added the remaining point. Sturdy Defence On Monday, it was something else again--although, as mention- ed previously, the Braves had a distinct edge on the play. Once they got going that is! Unfor- tunately, Dundas took full ad- vantage of their slow breaking rivals to push over all their points in the opening quarter, then con- centrated on defensive football to turn back bid after bid by the smarting local crew. Dick Em- mett and Ron Anderson did yeo- man service in this game, while every man on the roster gave everything he had.
