Fresh" from their 5-2 win over Winnipeg Jets Thursday night, Wheaties will be gunning for their first win over Blades in Brandon since Nov. 19, 1967, when they posted a 7-4 win. Wheaties will try to continue their "new look." And actually it is nothing really new.

just a few basic fundamentals which, used properly, can produce interesting results like that win over Winnipeg. It is simply a hitting, skating, checking game. It keeps the opposition off balance and provides ample goal-scoring opportunities by forcing the opposition to make mistakes. Coach Ron Maxwell said that the team finally came up with this type of game for one period in Saskatoon recently and it stopped the Blades cold. Thursday night they kept it up for a full game and were never in any serious trouble.

Even manager coach Eddie Dorohoy of the Jets praised Wheaties. "They played a tremendous game and knocked us all over the lot," he said. Maxwell said this is the brand of hockey he's been trying to get his charges to play all season. "It's just a hitting game, nothing more," he said. "After all, it's pretty tough to score if you are.on the seat of, your pants," he smiled.

Wheaties kicked off their big day at 10 a.m. today as two players were at each of Brandon's community clubs instructing at hockey clinics. At 2 p.m., the Wheat Kings Juvenile: team will clash with. Fort Garry and at 6:30 p.m., the LiT Wheat Kings meet the Winnipeg Westridge Warriors. The interesting part of.this game is it will feature what is believed to be Canada's qualified female referee.

She is young and pretty Rhonda-Edmundson of Shoal Lake. The feature, of course, will be the Wheat King-Blades battle at 8 p.m. There will also be a smorgasbord at 5:30 p.m. and a dance later in the evening, both in the Brandon Soccer Club. Everything, except the meals served in the soccer club, will be included in the price of admission.

Even Frank Clisby of the arena is serving free coffee. Fans purchasing a program will have a chance to win one of several prizes. Included in the prize list are a compact car, portable TV, mink stole and a camper trailer. It's the Wheaties' way of thanking the fans for their support through the season. Wheaties final home game of the season will be Thursday when they lock horns with the Jets at 8 p.m.
