Evan Kitamura, although not overly tested ini this contest, made a terrific breakaway save with Whlitby clinging te a 1-0 lead. Oct. 16 saw a less-than-stellar performance against a beatable Peterborough club -- Whitby lost 4-1. Playing very tentatively through two periods Whitby fell behind 3-0 despite three or four excellent saves on the part of Phil Greenen. From some diligent work in the offensive corner by Longo and Shannon, Feret was able te intercept the puck behind the net and- tuck it in the stick side corner. Wildcats played an even more disappointing game, effort-wise, on Oct. 22 against Central and felI by a 5-1 score. With only a haîf dozen shots on net for the entire game, it was fortunate that Whitby wasn't blanked.
