Goalie Louis Moore has had 18 shutouts and had only 98 goals scored on him, while his teammates have garnered 208 goals.

This poses somewhat of a problem, as the weather grows warmer ice time is avail: able at fewer and fewer rinks. Three minutes of the sudden death overtime had gone by when Brown drove a long hard shot from the blueline past the Leaming‘ton goalie to give the Gentlemen hhe semi-final round 4-3. and put them into the finals ag-ainsut London. Leamington stormed back and scored twice to tie the round and send the game into overtime. : That the Country Gentlemen lhad put up a hard battle, which had worn out their opponents, was evidenced when Canning- ton defeated London 4-3 in the next round. Saul-t Ste. Marie was defeated by George Bell of Toronto who in turn lost to Cannington 5-4, giving that small northern town the cham- pionship of the whole tourna- ment. Friday’s games with Leaming- ton were the highlight of the tournament for the local lads, as Leamington had been rated by all the experts as the team to take the tournament. In the morning the Gentle- men suffered their first loss in 21 games when Leamington scored one goal and shut them out.

In the morning Brown scored twice and Dennis Acomb once to give their team a 3-0 victory. Assists were credited to Scott Mabley, Dave Dunkley and Val Steffen. The Gentlemen racked up another shutout to the tune of 4-0 over Barrie Thursday after- noon. Acomb came through with two goals. and Brian Dun- 10p and Brown each scored once. Dunlop.
