and burrows pace midgets milkmen dazzle crowd easter came early for the beckers milk midgets on monday night their sink ing fortunes at an all time ebb with two straight losses were resurrected with a dazzling display of hockey that had their quarterfinal opponents gananoque out classed and outplayed in all three periods adding to gananoques misery were the duo of mike feasby and ken burrows both were outstanding with feasby scoring all four goals and burrows getting in on three assists they dominated the game with fine passing plays and a turn of speed that the visi tors simply couldnt counter the milkmen who seem to take a peverse delight in keeping their fans in sus pense were a completely different team to the one that took a 40 thrashing at gananoque on sunday net- minder joe risk despite an injured knee was unpass- able while brent brown and bill hutchison worked hard to collect assists burrows paid heavily for his role as feasbys sha dow a marked man from the outset of the game he was hammered into the ice in an unprovoked attack not just by one but two gananoque players in the closing minutes of play necessitating nine stiches to close an ugly gash over his left eye fortunately there was no permanent damage and he will be in the lineup for tonights game at gana noque friday nights opening game of the series should have been a runaway win for the clippers leading 74 near the end of the second period they blew it as only they can getting edged 87 feasby set the pace with a hat trick while shawn mcquigge burrows brent brown and darryl brown collected

trio scored all four goals in their 40 shutout over gananoque in my opinion by jim holt team loyalty a problem not unexpectedly rumblings of discontent emanate from the ahl at this time of the year the reason of course is the absence of senior key players of whom a num ber are off at an oldtim- er tournament when their expertise can make or break a teams chances of capturing the league championship the championship is and rightly so the ulti mate goal for most ahl members the playoffs are fun for all but has no relationship to a teams consistency the fact that the playoff cham pions have never won the league crown bears out the fact this annual bone of discontent is forever with the league and this year more than any other probably due to the closeness of the standings it has become more pronounced to lose a crucial game be cause key players are doing their own thing at an oldtimer tournament is a downer it affects players to a greater de gree than one would suspect i would not normally mention such a minor matter however when a player tells me that next year he will do his utmost to steer clear from a team that has oldtimers on it then i feel the league has a problem one that should be attended to by the executive at their annual general meeting the player in question is not alone a number of members have express ed disappointment on finding their teams be low strength at one time or another this season to be fair to the old- timer squads they real ly cant be blamed most are founder or very senior members of the amateur hockey league and their dedication to the ahl goes without saying their expertise forms the foundation for many a teams success and lets face it the league would be less col ourful organization without them frankly i think the problem is unsolvable you cant draft the old- timers into one or two teams because the league would be lopsided with talent yet to con tinue the present formu la of seeding them in in dividual teams is obviously unsatisfac tory to many allstar register for softball final date for allstar soft- ball registration will be held this saturday march 10 at latcham hall from 1 to 4 pm providing
