For six sol- id minutes this chant roared ov- er Maple Leaf Gardens and then settled down to a steady murmur. which rose during moments of stress to its original excitement. If anyone had glanced up to the West Greys. he would have seen upwards of 100 Boy Scouts and Cubs of the First Beverley Acres group squirming, yelling, duck- ing and in all other possible ways helping their team_to score. r The noise started as soon as the puck was first dropped and never really stopped until the period was over.

Have a short talk with your boy's Scouter or Cubmaster and he will have someone contact you, or. call any member of the committee. Your boy knows us and he will be pleased to have you volunteer. ’ Pulford! Bower!” Each boy seem- ed to have his own particular favorite. And Yes! at least two were rooting for the Rangers, not counting a couple of fathers who took their lives in their own hands in the midst of such rabid fans as sat there that night.
