WIN 4 STRAIGHT MOVE INTO FINALS WITH ELMIRA Last Saturday night, Brooklin, using | ¥ Port Perry Memorial Gardens as their home ice, overcame a 6-0 lead, to edge Gananoque 7-6 and take the best of seven semi-finals in four straight games, . At the beginning it looked as though the series was going to be extended to at least one more game, as Gana- noque looked véry strong in the first period, (even scoring when they were short: handed), awhile, Brooklin had trouble untracking themselves. When the first frame was but half over Gan- anoque led the Brooklinites 5-0; Jim Lee and Chas. Lee, each notching two counters and Adair potting one in short order to give the Gananoque squad a commanding 5-0 lead. For the remainder of the 1st period Brook. lin managed to hold firm and this session ended without further scoring. In the second period Brooklin began to look more like the team they really are and it wasn't very old before they L notched their first goal, and before many more minutes had passed, two more counters were notclied, putting them right back in the game 65-3, but still two goals down. Pascoe with one and Gibson with two were the scorers for Brooklin in the second period, In the third frame Cornish caught fire in a scoring way, completing the hat-trick by notching three goals, with Carnegie counting one. It was unbe- lievable how a team that was five goals down could now be ahead 7-5. But there it was and Gananoque were through for this season. Owen in the Brooklin cage, along with his defense were outstanding in holding Ganapo- que scoreless from the Middle of the first period on. All in all it was a thrilling contest and it will be interesting to see just how the powerful Brooklin squad will stack up against Elmira in the Finals. First home game is scheduled for this Saturday, March 31st in Memoriul Gardens, Port Perry. You. shoudn't miss any of the games in this series.
