Siskins, with 11 faces gone from the club that last year brought this city its first Junior B title in four years, have taken up residence atop the loop again this year and presently sport a reâ€" cord (1652) that six of the other seven clubs would dearly love to have That‘s the good news The bad news is, for some inexplicable reaâ€" son, Siskins have ceased to do in recent contests that which they do best, play disciplined, funâ€" damentally sound hockâ€" ey.

The meet saw a record set for the 200â€"metre backstroke by Rick Carey of the New York Badgers swim club with a world record time of 1:59:67, even though it will be unofficial beâ€" cause it was not set at regulation pool length.

But several more turned in efforts rivallâ€" ing their worst, and that‘s the catch. As a unâ€" ified force, Siskins are unquestionably the class of the league. But when the efforts of a few are being dragged down by the nonâ€"efforts of many, Siskins are no better than an average hockey club, and therefore are susceptible to defeat each and every time they hit the ice. **I tell you, if we keep playing like this, we won‘t be in first place for long,"" said Siskin coach Jack Egers Sunâ€" day after Hahns fired four thirdâ€"period goals to tre Waterloo 6â€"6.
