TORONTO, (CP)— Coach Ken McAuley of Edmonton 011 Kings turned to defensive polish Wednes- day in hopes of providing added punch for victory in the third game of the Memorial Cup hockey final against St. Catherine: Tee- Pees.

The 'I‘eePem, two games ahead in the best-of-seven Canadian jun- ior series. pounced on a weak Ed- monton defence sunday for an easy 8-: win and Tuesday night turned an Oil King defensive lapse into a. 5-3 victory after the West- erners had held their own througn 40 minutes of play.

McAuiey announced he will bench delenceman Gord Strate. probably replacing lilm with Harry Smith for the third game Thursday night. Smith has not seen action in the series so far.

McAuley predicted after the openlng drubbing that Oil Kings would come back strong in the

oetond game. And after the Edmon-

Outside of his defence, Mcauley was pleased with Kings’ second- game performance. though "they can still get better.“
