I ZURICH WINS TROPHIES In the final deciding game of the Cyclone League the Zurich, boys for the third coneeciitivc. year carried oil the laurels by defeating the Exeter Hockey team by a score of 2 to u on Friday night, last. At the finish of the game the McMillan and McDon- ell trophies were presented to the Zurich team by Mr. W. G. Mcdd, M. P.P.,.who made a short speech but owing to the noise of the victorious fans could scarcely be heard. This is the third year Zurich has captured the M'eDonell tropluy and it now become.-; their permanent prop­ erty. It is also the second year they have won the McMillan trophy. When the final bell sounded sticks and caps went into the air and the noise of the rooters Vibrated from 1 wall to wall. The game throughout was very fast and a good brand of hockey shown. A few minor penal­ ties were handed out by referee Shaddock of Hensall who handled the game very capably as both teams were determined to win, During the first two periods neither team scored while both goal-tenders were called upon to make some clever saves, During the first period Zurich had the better of the play and only by the good work of Moir in goal for the locals the score might have been different. The start of the second period found the Zurich boys trying hard to score but their efforts were of no- avail. During this period Moil’ made some spectac­ ular saves and stopped nearly three times as many shots as Badour. Some splendid rushes were made during this period by Gascho, O’Brien and Tuckey. Exeter found’it quite hard to get through the Zurich de­ fense during this period and most of their shots were from outside the defense. In period both strength into ors towered fense only to be stopped by Moir in goal. However, the spell was broken when Leroy O’Brien went through the entire team to shoot from close in giving Moir no chance to save. A few ‘ minutes later Rau scored the winning goal when he brought the puck from behind and slipped it in from the corner of the net. Exeter tried hard to score during the re­ maining minutes but did not succeed. After securing a one goal lead Zurich played a defensive game and began to shoot the puck up the ice and the final bell sounded with Zurich lead­ ing 2 to 0, thus winning the round by a score* of J to 2. The Zurich boys played a better brand of hockey than was displayed on the Monday night previous. They outskated and outshot the local boys in every period and only by the good work of Moir in goal for the locals, was the score kept down. The rink was fill­ ed to capacity with approximately eight hundred people witnessing the game. The gate receipts were 3238. Excitement ran high at times and the old rink vibrated with the cheering.
