The locals gave their poorest display on home ice this season, while the Lucan squad were in top form. Exeter badly missed the services of their captain and star defenceman, Creech. The defence was very wob bly at times and the L.ucan forwards continually gave Ford considerable trouble, Lucan were minus their speedy winger, Chowen. McGregor was the leading scorer with four goals. Shier notched three for the hat trick. If Hensail wins the next two games with Dashwood it would . put them in a tie with Exeter, The locals have one game to play and that is with Hensall. This game will probably decide the second- place team. First Period Watson caused the first excite ment on opening the scoring early in the period to send the Irish into the lepd. Reg. Paul engineered the puck up the left boards and dumped a pass to Watson inside the blue line, Watson's shot caught the far corner of the cage. Exeter copied the play to tie the score. Lutinan, taking the puck along the right rail sent Macdonald around the defence to heat Hudson. Ford came up with a nice save as R. Paul split the de fence on a nice stickhanding effort. Shier broke the deadlock on a solo effort. Stickhandling to the de fence, he let drive and the puck carromed off one of the locals’ legs into the net. McGregor skated in on Ford all alone but was robbed, by a sensational save. While Bea vers was serving time Lucan made ■it 3-1. Cluff’-s long shoMrom.' centre eluded Ford as the Irish ganged up on a power play. McGregor ended the “period with a- spectacular end- to-end rush. Reaching the defence, «he swung clear of them and then sped in on Ford, drawing him out nicely and flipping the puck .into the cage. Second Period Stire closed the gap between the two teams early in the second. Cluff partially checked a local attack by Moore and ‘Stire. The puck slid out to Stire who sent it flying be hind Hudson. Ferguson had a nice chance with nobody back to pro tect Hudson. The puck upended and got away from him before he could get a shot away. O’Brien signalled for a Lucan power play when he thumbed Ferguson to the cooler for tripping. The Irish capitalized on the chance. G. Paul got the goal, Reg. put his brother in scoring position with a blueline pass. Gerry skated in on the unprotected Ford and blasted a shot into the rigging. Shier picked off his second goal on a play from Howe. Howe sent him. goalward with a pass in the centre zone. Shier outmanoeuvred the de fence and beat Ford from close range. Beavers got the third tally for Exeter, picking up a loose puck on the left boards, he beat Hudson with a nice drive. Late in the per iod Howe shifted in front of the Exeter net to catch a pass from Shier range. Lucan. and beat Ford from, close The period ended 7-3 for Third Period Andrew, of .

G. Paul made it 8-3. Taking the puck doWn the right boards, he feinted a pass to his brother and then swung into the local goal to beat Ford from close range. Exeter’s best goal' came on a nice combination by the kid line. Stire sent Lawson clear of the defence with a rink-wide pass, Lawson dumped a pass to Moore as he came skating in toward the net and the centre fired It behind Hud son. Lucan then got five goals without any reply from the locals. McGregor got the first: on a nice play with Shier. Reg. Paul made it Ki-4 when his brother batted the puck out to him from behind the cage. Shier again sent M.cGregor on the way for another goal. With no one back McGregor rode In on Ford, drawing him out and backhanding the puck across the line, Shier, who played smart hockey all night, then collected his third eonnter, Cluff took the pnek down the ice, circled the local cage and skated out to (Continued on Page Four> 9 a
