Lacrosse Tilt Rescheduled To Tonight | By CLIFF GORDON WHITBY :-- For the second) time in a row the weather man| played havoc with the Brooklin| Sr. lacrosse team and the St.) Catharines Athletics. The Brooklin team was as in St.! called off due to the weather conditions. | The first game of the sched-| ule on the road for the Brook-) lin team was also against the Garden City team who play outdoors, and it had to be caa- celled. The Ontario Lacrosse direc- tors have ruled that the game that was to have been played last night (Wednesday night)' will be rescheduled for tonight, | (weather permitting). The oth-| er game will have to be sched-| uled at a later date. We understand from the} Brooklin club's president Wm. Vipond that manager Bob Laid-} ley, coach Jim Cherry and train-| er Art Morton made a fast trip} to Peterborough last night after) |they found the game was can- celled. } We suspect after talking with) coach Cherry the other night! that he has his eye on a couple more players for his team. It is the feeling of the coach and management along with} the executive that they need at least two or three more top notch players to have a reall first-place contender, Also the local club would like! nothing better than to win the Eastern Canada championship and get that big trip out west this fall. In the meantime we will have to wait and see what the wea- ther man brings us_ tonight, |whether or not the game will go at the St. Catharines bowi as scheduled. { the many Ontario police officers! who attended the 10-week course. stavice CLEANERS ond LAUNDERERS OSHAWA - PORT HOPE WHITBY - COBOURG BOWMANVILLE - SCARBORO Curtains, Drapes, Blankets, Rugs OSHAWA'S ONLY UNIONIZED SHOP 723-4631 50 MILL | Tod | | BRAMPTON The Flower Town of Canada invites you to attend the first annual JUNE 28-29-30 AND JULY Ist.
