(In the Jersey-Johnstown, and Nashville-Knoxville sets, each club lost at least one game while Charlotte beat Greensboro three straight. It looks like a good year for the Comets of Pat Kelly. When they whipped Long Island, 6-1, in the opener, it marked their first opening playoff triumph in five years. In fact, in three of their past four years, they dropped their first two contests. But this is 1967 and it could be the start of the club’s resurgence. Kelly knew the Comets…
