G. Cochrane and Manager Bruce Biggart said they received an excellent reception at their first meeting-of the provincial organ­ ization and • expressed "complete satisfaction’’ with the decisions made. * The club received approval from O.H.A. officials to use three players about which question had arisen, Bill McDonald, who lives near London, was authorized to play fox' Mohawks and Earl Bar­ ton and Marv Shantz, who signed certificates with Strathroy Rock­ ets as well as Exeter, were clear­ ed for play here. President W. G. Cochrane said officials of other teams in the loop expect Mohawks to be a top contender in their first year in the loop. "They consider us to be a real threat," the prexy said, .Woodstock Athletics, favored to win the league, will find out Saturday night when they meet Mohawks in the opener here. Withdrawal of London .Briggs,, announced at Tuesday’s meeting, shakes, up the league for the second time. . Lyle Mercer, Brigg’s backer, pulled out because of lack of fan support and players. He ac­ cused Strathroy Rockets of raid­ ing Brigg’s territory for players but O.H.A. officials ruled the Rockets had not violated regu- lattons. Three teams are tied for top spot in the league with, eight games played. Sarnia, Strathroy and Wallaceburg have each won two games and lost one. Wood- stock and St, Thomas, who pull­ ed an upset over Woodstock Tuesday night, have one victory each. Mohawk officials expressed pleasant surprise with the meth­ od by which the O.H.A. conduct­ ed its business.
