EXETER WINS FIRST GAME OF
THE PLAY-OFF
.On Monday night the Zurich
hockey team were defeated by the
fast Exeter team on the former’s
rink by a score of 2 to 1, in the first
of the home and home games to de
cide the winners of the Cyclone
Hockey League. The game without
an exception was the fastest seen in
the Cyclone League foi’ some time.
A few minor penalties were handed
out, but on the whole, play was very
clean. Mr. Em. Shaddock, of Hen
sail handled the game very capably.
The first period opened with both
teams trying hard to score but their
efforts were not fulfilled and the
period ended with no scoring on
eithex* side. Both teams checked
hard. During this period Medd hurt
his ankel when he and Youngblut
colided. Medical aid was rendered
and he was able to finish the game.
The Zurich "boys found it quite hard
to penetrate Exeter’s new..defence of
Hind and Tuckey and when they did
get through they were stopped by
Moir in goal. The second period
found both teams trying hard to
score and finally Exeter did -get a
goal when Hind shot from outside
the defence. It did not take Zurich
long, to tie it up, when Leunis
O’Brien grabbed the puck from the
face-off, took a long shot and scored
the puck hitting Moir’s pads and
bounded in. Only a few minutes
had elapsed wheh Pollen got the best
of the face-off and shot from outside
the defence, scoring the winning
goal. This ended the scoring of this
period and the entire game. This
period both goal-tenders were called
upon to make some clever saves.
The third period ■found the Zurich
boys trying hard to regain the lost
goal but then’ efforts were of no
avail. This period found the Exeter
boys checking hard and using lots of
speed, while the Zurich boys seemed
to lag a little. During this period
the boys were inclined to rough it
but were stopped by tbe referee and
the final bell rang with Exeter lead
ing by a one-goal margin. Zurich
plays, in Exeter on Friday night for
the final and deciding game with a
one goal lead to battle against.
Come out and cheer the boys. A
large number of fans from Exeter ac
companied the boys. The line-ups:
Exeter, Goal, Moir; I. d., Tuckey; r.
