This promised to be a ding dong battle from start to finish and it proved out so. Such stars as John Rutherford, Ken Horton and many others were too much for the over 40 Greats even if they had on their line-up such power­ ful has-beens as Norm Newans, Harry Mulvey, Gordon Inglis and Charles Scott. , The referees were Harley Merkley and Elmer Merkley and when Harley was needed on defence, brother' El­ mer was a little afraid to call the much needed penalties.
