Marlboros, Oil Kings Headed For National Title Showdown
TORONTO, Ont. The Toronto Marlboros — the g team to be M feared for the Memorial Cup this year —were as good as in as Ontario Junior Hotkey Association champions and were pointing towards the coveted national title with their major opposition likely to come from the Edmonton Oil Kings.
