A failure io head a man the puck to breaking wingers and some problems clearing the puck in thelr owt end were two factors contributing lo their 7-1 defeal. Althaugh the two leams were deadlacked 1-1 after. tha first period, the Cenis had had an edge in play but weren't getting the shots on.goal.

Individual Cents played a good all-out game but a lack of yeam work and the faet that Ihe puck just wouldn't bounce for them, cost the locals the badly needed (wo points. ° As it stands now, the Cents are In need of something ap- proaching & miracle ,. to take over the fourth and final play- - off spol. They'll have to win their remaining four games while the Cohoes are held winless.

The Cents could doit. If they play the hockey they played here two weeks ago they should - take Vanderhoof andhave a fair ‘chance against: the Spruce Kings fram Prince George. As for the Halibut Kings, the Cents have only beat them ange, but in decisive fashion, by an 11-4 count. Mathematically it's still possible.
