The victory moved Mohawks within one point pf the title the club has sought for four years. The Tribe’s triumph came as the breaking point of. the seven­ game series which has been the tightest in the history of the W.O.A.A. It followed two straight overtime ties, which brought to a total of three the numlber of deadlocks in the series. Monday’s game was the first to end in regulation time. Lanky Larry Heideman, Tribe’s top scorer during the regular season, .paved the way for day’s win by notching the goals Mohawks needed to The stickhandling whizz, scored only twice in the four games, opened up with a brace of counters in 'the first period to give the Tribe a 2-1 lead. He added another in the se­ cond to keep locals ahead 3-2. Don Gravett’s key marker at 11.1'5 broke Sailors’ spirit in the third. The visitors attacked •strongly early in .the frame but the /Gravett goal knocked 'the wind out of their sails. (Bill Wharnsby’s breakaway marker at 18.45 added insult to the victory.

A bad third quarter eliminated the locals from the playoffs, Af­ ter trailing 11-5 in the first quarter, South Huron outscored the Windsor district team 7-4 in the second to cut their deficit to three points. The locals collapsed in .the third quarter, however, and scored only Riverside’s 11. .'South Huron’s handicapped early quarter When ace Allison, left the floor with four fouls.'

Winners Turned On Rower (Riverside fought harder moved faster for the ball in__ third quarter and their aggres­ siveness seemed to disorganize South Huro,n.
