After winning the first game 9-3 at Clifford, the Flyers turned on the pressure to• edge Brussels 18-7, and Clifford 15-0, before over a thousand empty seats and several screaming fans at the Hensall Arena. The ,final game in the round-robin tourney will be with Brussells, at either Seaforth or Wingham on Saturday night. though it has cost the Flyers $30 (not including sticks and tape) to play the last two home games, they are determined to carry on in the hope that they may bring home the first WOAA trophy ever won by an Intermediate Hockey team in Zurich's hockey • history. FLYERS (BROOMBALL VARIETY) WIN TROPHY The Zurich Flyers broonaball team d'ef'eated the Parr Line and 'Chiselhuirst 3-1 and 4-1 respectively, to win the Hensall and district broomball honours. In the first contest the Flyers rushed to an early 2,0 lead in the first period on goals by Bob "Sockler" Merner and Don O'Brien. A terrific 150 foot shat by an unidentified Flyer ended the scoring for the locals. "Swede" Decker played an out- standing game in the Flyers nets although he lost his shut -out in the diving minutes on a powerful dribbler that rolled between his legs. In the second contest the four goals were divided among, "Jeff" Geoffrey, Gord Hay, Merner and' O'Brien. Decker again held the opposition to only one tally. Other players who performed brilliantly For the champs were Dick Bedard, Junior Merner, and . Wane Willert, Rumour has it that the General Coach crew, the "A" champs, have challenged the Flyers. Both "A" and "B" Division trophies will: be at stake. It is hoped that some of the veteran' stalwarts, including "Mike" Gascho, "Red" Theander, and "Flubug" Suplat will be out to strengthen the team. STANLEY CUP FINALS BEGIN THIS WEEK Unless some unpredicted upsets occur, the Montreal Canadiens, who won the regular season championship quite handily, should go on to be the holders of the Stanley Cup.

This year the Hans should knock off the Red Wings in six games while the Ranger -Bruin series could easily go right down to the wire. .At any rate there promises to be quite a few exciting contests before this years winner is decided. SUFFERS SLIGHT CONCUSSION Jerry Ronnie, starry Flyer rearguard, who suffered a slight concussion a week ago in the final game with Ilderton, has been confined to his bed for two weeks.
