Then the esters started to skate, hit, game. It was a 4-4 stalemate at the end of two periods but it was all Oshawa in the final, and how the crowd loved it. ACTUALLY THE fans had much to do with the win. They indicated to the club that they were solidly behind them, when there was hardly a mur- mur in the building as St. Kitts counted twice. Everybody was for the Generals and no cheers were accorded the visi- tors' tallies. But as the Motor City squad started to skate and score the enthusiasm was great. This spurred the kids to greater effort. They knew they were finally home to stay, and this meant something to this club who had played out of town for over two years.

We felt Mr. Adams summed it up magnificently when he said "We know the fine sports fans of this city will give this team time to get adjusted. The boys on your Oshawa team are as fine a group of young gentlemen as I've had the pleasure of meeting, and I'm sure they'll de you proud before they're done, God bless them."
