millionaires hung up their tack after saturday nights game at oshawa as they lost a heartbreaking 51 decision to peterborough in the 6th game of the sr b playciowns it was tough for markham fans to swallow and they were out in large numbers on the other hand what the sev eral hundred peterborough rooters witnessed was quite pleasing to them however neutral observers have felt since the series swung into action that the legion had just a little more strength and class taking the team all through and their experience as last years on tario champions told the million aires for their part did themselves proud and gave everything they had to stay in the running it was a very fine series and produced two of the largest crowds oshawa arena has enjoyed all winter local skaters compete at

population in the area was decreasing department spokes men said the area would be set aside as a sanctuary during the first year of a closed season of moose there are a few sections of the province where the moose population has increased sufficiently to warrant hunting the dept said it recommended that the closed season be continued for another year and an inventory con tinued the deer population at present was estimated at between 15000 and 20000 another dept recommendation said it was ridiculous to protect indefinitely the deer in southern ontario agricultural areas where they

large crowd of cheering applauding fans the millionaires came from behind to tie the game only to have greenlaw roll the puck over the line for the winner at 1755 of the final period the game was a typical playoff contest ending a great series which had everything spectators could hope to see on the whole the game was cleanly played except for an outbreak in the penalty box between montgomery of the le gions and j watson montgomery lost control of himself and was banished from the ice with a match misconduct xormie stunden who has turned in great performances during the series rose to great freights in the final game and came up with some outstanding saves on one occa sion as the legions broke free on a breakaway the blonde netmin- der turned in the best stop of the series beating the speedy forward single handed at times it seemed as if the markham boys depended too much on their goalie as time and again the opposing players skated in on top of him peterborough started out in great style as coombs netted the puck from parnell and godfrey with the entire markham team caught inside the legions blueline at 1552 crowley fired in goal number two but bell got that one back on a neat play around the peterborough net from singleton and brennan markham seemed particularly weak in getting the puck out of their own end in the first few min utes of the second period and with rochetta vatarelli and crowley working like madmen around the net slapping at rebounds the score was finally upped to 31 for peter borough a couple of penalties later single ton scored from bell on a fine pass ing effort and the markham squad were again back in the thick of it so much so in fact that a mild highsticking scuffle between mont gomery and watson turned into a pleasant brawl as chief offenders the two mentioned were sent to the penalty bench a continuance of hostilities on that bench brought about the mis conduct to watson and the match penalty to montgomery greenlaw blasted home a long screened shot to open the last per iod and the legion were out in front 12 brennan led the mark ham team on a few forays into enemy territory not a minute later and clicked for a 13 goal his next stint on the ice brought about the tying counter on a pass from bell it was a smart goal and had the packed house standing and cheering with just three minutes left in the game the fans were beginning to think of overtime toodie greenlaw had other thoughts and wrestled for the puck to oneside of the markham net a flip shot that the goalie didnt see and the rubber was moving crazily on the edge of the goalline it decided to move over and into the net just as it reached the far side of the twine and it made for the winning marker markham pulled their goalie with 15 seconds left in the game but the extra forward proved no help as the legion team seemed even stronger in these last seconds be fore the siren ended the game mother to montreal over the week end miss marion wannop of
