Maritime will lock horns with Aurora Bears on Friday night and al though the contest is billed as an exhibition game it will see both teams going all out The Bears have been winners at home most of the time to the de light of the fans and theyll try to repeat The Collegians who hope to win the Prep School crown this season are no strangers to Au rora ice and will be hoping to throw an advance scare into St Andrews College by a win over the Bears Both teams have condition aplenty now and these Town vs Gown series have al ways produced good hockey in the past It was in that Aurora Ti gers and Upper Canada clashed in a three game junior B semi final series with Aurora taking the deciding one in Maple Leaf Gardens That remains a blot on the escutcheon and the blue and white will try to erase it The Bears were decked by Owen Sound on Tuesday night and kept their winless road record intact Somehow the kids cant themselves away from home Walt Fines Bob and Pepper Martin were absentees Walt Fines tricky defenceman of the Bears and Bob rugged winger of Midland Sham rocks have drawn indefinite suspensions from the for their stick swinging noggin- crashing performance last Fri day Quinn started the matter and Fines retaliated and both boys are lucky to emerge with little or no alter effects The incident is of the type the A will not tolerate and the cool ing out process should do them some good Fines in our books has never played dirty hockey but he is quite capable of looking after himself and needs no stick to do so Both boys will likely be re instated soon and we know they both regret it The games with Midland since last year have been leading up to just this sort of Incident and earlier in the year we warned that some sort of discipline had to be imposed by Coach Con- and the Midland executive on their proteges The Aurora kids are no angels but the record speaks for itself against Midland alt the clubs ore draw ing increased penalties and Mid land starts the procedure every time The fault lies equally with the Midland bench as with the players The OHA should issue a stern ultimatum before its too late Tuesday night is hockey night and we suggest you take a trip over the hills of King one of these nights to see the smart little team that Rose find Fergus have assembled for as they figure the group the one to beat incidentally are un beaten and they sent two play ers to junior A replaced by and some of the boys Fergus lost only Jack Mann and Bob from last years club Rex their good goalie of last year who hailed from had to move to Fergus this year with ville entering a team are returning to junior hockey after an absence of most years since they won the junior championship in over Aurora juniors Junior grouping has its biggest entry in years and should be the one series in the to enlarge in the future with the proper encouragement Inciden tally there are more players junior A this year who came up from clubs than graduates from the ranks You make your own explanation of the fact Tatter Irvine who has been coaching Owen Sound Greys as well as looking after all minor hockey in the Sound has depart ed the Georgian Bay city for Parry Sound where he will man age the arena and coach the in termediate and junior clubs Irvine certainly made an im provement with the Greys this year and while hes getting a late start at Parry Sound the clubs from that area always start late Come playoff time theyll be ready to do battle Joyce Parsons of former Aurora high school stud ent is playing basketball in Tor onto with of the sen
