The other line was composed of rookie finds of last year. Elmer Lach, Jack Adams and Tony Demers. Dame fitted in well with his old team-mote, Benoit. and his scor- ing punch did much to give the Reds a 5-5 draw with the whites, The line accounted for three goals, with Dame doing the shooting on all of them, Meanwhile, Deniers, who appeal-q headed for a better season than last year with resulting greater strength for the L-ach-AdamsJDe- Dame May Team Up .With :1 Benoit In Place Of Veteran Blake mers line, accounted for two of the White goals and Lach bagged one.
