MARATHON DROPS SUPERIORS Marathon Mercuries, with only ten men in uniform, played inspired hockey in the first game of the North Shore Intermediate finals, dropping Terrace Bay Superiors on their home ice by a 5 = 3 score. Except for the closing minutes, when Superiors tried despar- ately to tie the score, Marathon was in complete charge of the game. Their close checking broke up the potent Supe attack and they took full advan- tage of the breaks that came their way. Maurice Osmar, Pytyck and Whalen scored for the Supes.
