By Kevin Gillies Contributing Writer The Indians took the first game of the series before losing 10-7 last Friday night at the Lonsdale Arena. The following night they were beaten 13-8 in Burnaby. Last night’s fourth-game score was unavailable at press time. “We took too many penalties and took ourselves out of the game,’ Indians coach Lance Baker said of Friday night’s game. “Burnaby’s taking us away from our game plan -— we’re more of a finesse team — and that’s causing the penalties.”’ Baker added that the Indians came out flat in the last two games and that had to change. Friday’s game saw the Indians falt behind 2-0 in the first two minutes before storming back to make it 6-5 for Burnaby after two periods. In the third period, however, the Indians were outscored 4-2. Saturday’s game saw the In- dians and Lakers score the same amount of goals in both the first . and third periods. The difference was the second frame, where the Lakers scored five to the Indians’ one. rasa Ne NEWS photo Pau!
