Also missing were Dan Chisholm, Rick Leroux and Ron Mohan which left them with 15 players dressed. After shifting their players around so they could field a team, the Bulls thought they might have everything under control but Bill Hackney got injured early in the game. That meant Midland had to play the rest of the game one man short. With one man short and a makeshift team of men out of position, the Bulls tackled a tough situation, giving it all they could. The Bulls were behind 9-0 halfway through the first half when John Nix was awarded a penalty kick on an offside call to the Lindsay squad. Midland's attack fell off shortly into the second half, Lindsay © capitalizing on their play by scoring 20 points in a. 15 minute time period. Despite the score, Midland's'_ offense played well with Richard Thomas and Al MacDonald both putting in excellent _per- formances.
