Port Perry LG.A.'s Down Toronto 3 ; Last Saturday night, Nov. "13th, sed seeing the best game so far this season as Port IGA's bested the Tor- onto team 7 to 3 in the Memorial Gar- dens. But those that were on hand to sup- port the locals were pleased with what they saw and are still talking about the coming Intermediate series. For after witnessing the boys in action they are sure Port IGA's will be in the top brackets this year. Don Mark scored first at 10 minutes twine. Glen Till netted the next coun- ter at 18.50. Gord Hall for Toronto slapped the first one past Keith Sweetman in Port net at 18.10, ending the first period 2 to 1 in Port's favor.

Second period ended 3-2 still in fa- or of Port Perry. In the third period Toronto scored count to tie the score at 3 all. and at 3.30 Till, assisted by Wallace and Cochrane put Port ahead again. Glen Till apparently was not satisfied with just one goal lead for at 7.86 he sailed in and beat Toronto's goalie to count his 4th goal of the night. Myles assisted by McKee scored at 13.12 and Christie assisted by Myles sank the last counter at 16.01 to make the final score 7 to 3 for Port.

These boys are 'sure to give you a game worth watching so make it a date the next time they play, and you won't have to be sorry you didn't at- tend.
