consolation title winners will be dinner guests for the closing banquet NEED FOR CHANGE Luck shouldnt figure in the winning of Ontario or championships From our observa tions over several decades more Ontario titles arc won on the flip of a coin than on the ice We think this practice should be eliminated In both OHA and the site of the odd game in any series is decided on the call of the coin Isnt it about time they ditched this archaic way of operating hockey playoffs Titles should be won on the ice A team should have to ram the right to have the third or odd game in a scries on their home ice How could this be accomplished Simply by giving the odd game in any series to the team that scores the most goals in the series opening games For instance in the present Aurora Tigers Parry Sound scries the Sounders get the odd game via a coin toss We dont believe this is right We think they should have to earn the rijrht to the odd game on the ice where hockey games are won and lost Since Aurora outscored the Sounders in the first two games we think the Tigers should have the odd or extra game in the series if it goes the limit While on the executive for a number years tried to pet this motion approved but it never did come to a convention vote We hope someone take up the and Binions Down Can Tire Continued Pace I The legion Centennial Tour nament gets underway March at pm The
