The large number of fans that turned out for this game were shown the type of good hockey this team is capable of playing.. However the "next three games displayed the type of hockey that belongs in the bush league. . On Sunday, February 12th, the Lancers visited Port Elgin and once again came home with their tails between their legs. The score was 11-4 for Port Elgin.-. The Lancers went by bus to Fergus on Tuesday, February 14th' and suffered defeat again .to the tune of '12 to 7' for Fergus. Sunday, February 17th the Lancers hosted Wingham Royals, losing 5 to 4. The belief seemed to be .that Wingham would be a pushover because of the sound defeat the Lancers had previously given them and also because Wingham. is presently at the bottom of the league; Lucknow stands in second place for the time being. If the Lancers continue losing they can say goodbye to second place and hello to first round of playoffs with Port Elgin. In order to maintain second spot, the team has to pull up its socks and start to display the type of hockey they are capable of. The remaining three games of the regular season will be played on the road, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank the fans for their loyal support.. A team could. not ask for more. Of all the towns the team has visited this year, there ,has been no comparison to Lucknow and °area fans.
