The Lmidgefur _of them, have only Midget registration -cards and therefore are not eligible to play on the Juvenile Squad. Harry Scott, local Minor Hock- ey convener, had inquired about cards' for these players earlier, in the season and was led to believe, by the WOAA Conven- er, that they were not neces- sary. Seaforth teams have been using the practice of bringing up players from younger ranks to fill out the other teams for the past few. years. Upon learning of this ruling Mr: Scott phoned' Toronto . to the OHA president and explain- ed the situation of the -Seaforth team. He could get no satisfac- tion regarding the team's posi- tion. • , The Midgets, John McLean, Hank Scott, John Fraser and Glen' Nicholson, have played with the Juvenile squad all year: 'and are registered with the teath for insurance pur- poses but are not registered with the OHA as Juveniles. '-Should Dresden launch a for- mal protest, (It's almost certain they. will), regarding these Midgets, Seaforth will be out of contention because they have only eight eligible Juvenile players., Seaforth 5 - Dresden 2 Seaforth took a commanding lead in the Juvenile "B" Ou- terre quarter finals in Dresden on Sunday. The locals downed Dresden 5-2, in, the first game of a home and home total goals series. Brian Melady put Seaforth on the score board at 14:50 of the first period, deflecting a drive from Hank Scott. In thesecondperiod, Allan Carter made many key saves from close in to keep Seaforth in the genie. Seafortif, who con- trolled the play almost com- pletely in the first period, seem- ed to let up in the second. They were not doing the fierce check- ing that they started out with. Finally at 19:50 mark of the second period, Keith Finnigan cashed in on a long drive from ' outside the blue line. Hank Scott assisted.
