Camp Borden Champions Camp Borden defeated Di.inda!k three straig-ht games to capture tho Central Ontario Hockey League championship for the second year in succession. The third game was played in Owen Sound on Monday night. Dundalk was outclassed, but I courageously battled to make as ! good a showing as possible, but tho Camp Borden strength with Senior .A. player-calibre was too much. Th.- champions should t>e graded into 0. ll.X. Intenneiliate company, as they are. too gSkd for this league, witi; their packed team. We know that our h*?key is not as fast as some, but it is pleasing hockey and next year we should keep the teams lim- ited to villasre teams.
