Last' year's most productive right winger, Bill Lindsay, will not• be • back, as he is also too old for junior hockey. The other right wingers on this year's team will be Jerry Watt, "Skip" pagsai, who both played for Stratford last season, and Doug Fitzgecige, who saw lim- ited action last year. Coach. Bill Hartburg, no doubt is ex- pecting greater things from Watt and Pogson, since they both have a year's experience under their belts. Neither had outstanding records last season. There are a lot of "Ifs" on the team, but from what was observed during the pre -season exhibition games, the Braves could be the team to win all the marbles this ,season. Stratford incidentally won their first game last Friday night , a' ainst ._Kitchener —ley ---a 4-C1—shutout. One might say that this is an awful lot about Stratford but- what about our local team? Bill Wilkinson—Left Wing Well, the Stratford scribe who wrote the above had the ad: vantage of seeing the boys in action in several exhibition games and this, after all, is the only _way a person can give= an authoritative report on what the team in question looks like. Stratford played some six or seven exhibition ge mes and our boys have hardly had seven practice, so yours truly is not 'going to say one word about how the boys look. One thing ,we can.. say for •certain is that the boys will hustle and give ht everything they've got which is more than we can say for the prima don- nas of last year. Another thing we , know for certain is that you will see a 'good hockey game on Friday night We don't expect the Siftos to come out on top in this one and neither should you. We .ask local sport fans for one small favor—to turn out - on li5day night, watch the boys and_ assess thedr capabi�iti�s: Il` you do come out we know you will be impressed if you bear in mind the 'short time they have been together.
