Native Sons Are Rated Strong Contenders For Memorial Cup
LETHBRIDGE, Alta.— Lethbridge Native Sons, right now leading a best-of-seven series for the Alberta junior championship with Wetaskiwin Canadians, are a team With an unusually impressive record. So impressive, as a matter of fact, that many men who make a business of following hockey consider them the best junior team to come out of southern Alberta in the history of Memorial Cup play and figure they are right up there with the fabulous Port Arthur West End Bruins in the race for Western junior hockey honors. A recent 5-0 whitewash of Moose Jaw Canucks right on Moose Jaw ice was the win which pretty well convinced the sit-on-the-old-fence boys what Lethbridge has what it takes to be a champion. What is the record which so many people call impressive? Well, the Native…
