Page 1.) guardian, was the hero of the sec­ ond game. Not for quite some time had we seen anything to equal the sensational display of puck stopping as was shown Friday night. While Ryckman was serving time jn the penalty box in the middle pf the third. Ford’s work in the nets was nothing short of spectacular, as the Irish pressed hard, raining rubber from all directions. As in the first game, each team opened cautiously, each player keeping good tab on his rival. Ham­ mond and- Lucan’s revised second line pf Chown,' Hodgins and Wat­ son, were the first to raise excite­ ment on a four-man attack, Ford made a dive for the loose puck be­ fore any real damage could be done. Lucan took an early lead in an ef­ fort by the second line, Ford block­ ed Chown’s drive nicely only to have Hodgins pot the rebound. G. Paul roared in on the Exeter cage as thev were shorthanded with Ryckman off. Ford sprawled to smother the attempt. While still short-handed, G. Paul caught the far corner of the net with a low drive on, another at­ tack. Moore missed the net en­ tirely as he skated in on Hudson all alone with Lawson’s pass. Chown gave IF'ord considerable trouble in the early middle session, but the local goalie rose to the oc­ casion with some great goaling. Creech got the first goal for the homesters on a beautiful solo ef­ fort. Outguessing the opposing forwards with some really clever stickhandling, he . rounded Ham­ mond and beat Hudson with a low drive. It was a typical end-to-end rush by the local captain. Chown made it 3-1. Grabbing the puck at the centre, his clever stickhand­ ling outmanoeuvred Ryckman and beat Ford with a shot to the far corner. Ryckman took the pupk on an end-to-end sortie but failed to get a shot away as Hudson slid out to block him, . 'Beaver aided the local cause with a marker early in the final canto. Macdonald set him up in front with a slick pass which Bea­ ver batted into the hemp. Hudson just managed to get his stick on the puck as Beaver again roused the hopes of the local supporters. Stire revived the local hopes by scoring the equalizer. Ryckman drew the assist, setting the puck up to Stire who camped in front of the net. Ryckman was banished and the crowd were treated with Ford's ex­ cellent display of goaling. At least half a dozen dead-on shots were peppered at him. Reg. Paul, with onlv three minutes left, potted the goal that was to* spell doom for the ' local cause. LUCAN TAKES' FINALS IN 2-0 DECISION Some 8-00 spectators saw the Lu­ can squad take the deciding game 2-0. Despite the draggy ice both teams maintained a fast clip all through the three periods. The lo­ cals bowed out the hard way, after taking the Irish into camp in the first game they lost the second by a one-goal margin that was only de­ cided in the final minutes and drop­ ped the final game 2-0 in a really hard-fought game. They were beat­ en by a team that showed more finish around the net. It was a very impressive sight to see these two teams who were so evenly matched in a hard-fought series line up af­ ter the game and exchange hand­ shakes. It was a real test of sports­ manship, especially for our boys who lost. Merv Tieman of Dash­ wood, (president of the Cycolne exe­ cutive presented the Berger Cup donated by Hoffman & Sons, Zurich, for the championship and the Mc­ Millan Cup for the team leading the league, Won by Hensail last season. Bill Chown, the cham­ pions’ captain, received the awards. Captain Gets “Big” Goal Captain Chown got the goal that was to be Exeter’s Waterloo. From a scramble in front of the’ net, after “Bunny” Ford had twice kicked out shots, Chown banged the rubber in. The goal came late in the first period. Previous to this it had been a see-saw affair. First it would be the Exeter forwards breaking on an attack, then the Irish ’would quickly retaliate. Creech and Moore broke away on a dangerous rush, “Cy” grabbed the puck at the blueline and slipped a neat pass to Moore who returned it at the defence. The play just failed)to click as the two got right in attack late in the period, man and side, the Cluff and Hammond who weijsi watching Ryckman. He roared in alone on. Hudson, driving the puck into his pads. Neither team scored in the middle session, Exeter pressing the play most of the way, trying desperate­ ly to knot the count. However, lady luck frowned on them got inside the defence, couldn’t pot the . old save their necks. Ford his knees to save on Hammond’s •drive, Lytman let drive with a hi**11 shot late in the second that Hudson just gazed on in time. The Ryckman and Moore sparked an Ryck- checked a Lucan puck-carrier broke fast with Moore at. his MOore caught his pass at defence, completely fooling homesters played four men up most of the period, but were held off by some nice defensive work and bqckchecking. In the third Exeter put every­ thing into the game as a last effort to blast the Lucan lead. Manager Joe Creech sent his charges on a wild offensive but the five-man attacks were unable to solve the Lucan puzzle. Late in the game, while Dinney was warming his pants for tripping the „ champions blasted in another goal to make sure of the issue. It was the Faul brothers who did the heartbreaking. Reg. skated in alone on the unprotected Ford with brother Gerry’s pass. He raged in on Bunny’s right who slid out, Reg. then drew the puck to the other side and calmly as you please disposed of the .disc into the cage with a backhand Line-ups for the games follows: Exeter—-Goal, Ford; Creech and Ryckman; centre, Mac­ donald; wings, Lutman, Beaver; subs, Stire, Lawson, Moore, Fer­ guson, Willard. Lucan—'Goal, Hudson; defence, Hammond, Cluff; centre, R. Paul; wings, Chown, G. Paul; subs, Wat­ son, Howe, Hodgins, Baynes. In the second and third games ^Lucan revised their forward lines. *Reg. Paul centred brother Gerry and Howe for the first line, Wat­ son and Hodgins flanked captain ‘Chown for theii’ second line. Baynes was the extra forward.
