GOING INTO this year’s senior B
lacrosse season, North Shore In-
dians president Frank Baker had
one guarantee — his team would
be playing in the President's Cup,
the Canadian Senior Lacrosse
Championships.

As hosts of the annual tourna-
ment, the Indians automatically
qualified to be one of the six
teams competing for the ‘Stanley

’ Cup” of lacrosse.

After winning the West Coast
senior B title in a thrilling series
against the Burnaby Lakers, the
Indians got down to the real prize
they have played for all season.

In their opening round-robin
game last Thursday night at the
Lonsdale Arena, the Indians took
another step up the ladder with a
decisive, focused 8-5 effort over
New York State’s Tuscarora
Thunderhawks,

Despite the aquisition of a
number of WLA all-stars at the
beginning of the season — in-
cluding league MVP Dwight
Maetche — it was an Indians
veteran, captain Wayne Baker,
who fed the way.

One of two players from the
1985 President’s Cup champion-
ship indians team stil! with the
club — goalie Dennis Joseph is
the other — Baker scored three
goals and added two assists on the
way to an impressive five-point
debut.

Tuscarora, the CanAim league
champions, never had a lead in a
game that was marked by solid
goalteading at both ends.
