HOCKEY
Lobo Hands Exeter First Defeat
The clean record of the local
hockey team was broken .last Thurs
day night when they were defeated
in an exhibition game by the classy
Lobo team. Sparked by Wrighton,
their brilliant pivot man the Lobo
boys edged out the home squad 5-4.
Clean hockey and good combination
was the order of both teams and the
fans enjoyed a real fast contest.
Wrighton's great exhibition of stick
handling thrilled the fans on several
occasions and his cleverness around
the net made him especially dang
erous.
Early in the first session Lobo
stole the lead when H. Gorman
notched McLaren's pass on a nice
combination by both players, The
Exeter boy’s couldn’t stand for this
and came right back to score the
equalizer. Creech and Lutman on,
a perfectly executed play rammed the
puck behind Ferguson, Creech get
ting the counter. The inspired
locals came right back and Snell,
Beaver and Dinney rushed in on the
visitors, Dinney netting Snell’s pass-
out. The locals however failed to
hold their lead and Lobo tied up the
score when F. Brown and Wrighton
on a nice passing play scored with
Brown getting the credit.
The second period opened fast and
furious both teams eager to break
the 2-2 deadlock, The Lobo boys
got the opportunity when Wrighton
on a solo effort dipsy-dived around
the defence and shot the puck into
the hemp. Exeter again came right
back on the face-off from centre.
Beaver getting the draw laid down
a pass to Dinney who relayed it
back to him and he whipped in the
tying counter. Creech and MacDon
ald led a desperate ganging attack
and had only the goalie to5 get by
but Ferguson between the posts held
off their bid with a brilliant save.
Lobo followed suit and H. Gorman
beating the defense tested out Ford
who rose to the occasion with a
spectacular save. F. Brown was
penalized and Exeter put on the
pressure and made things exciting
around the net but were unable to
click.
Still tied at 3-3 the teams went in
to the third frame. Wrighton again
brought the crowd to their feet with
his great stickhandling but Ford
kept the puck out. H. Gorman put
the visitors one up flipping the puck
into the cage. Wrighton wound up
again only to have Ford outwit him
once again. 'Reg. McDonald brought
Exeter from behind for the third
time banging the puck into the goalt
for Exeter’s last goal. Wrighton
clinched the game bulging the twine.
All in all it was a real match from
start to finish. The boys are to be
given a great hand for their display
so fax* this year. This was their first
defeat. They have won four games
and tied another counting exhibition
games. In the Cyclone schedule
they have yet to meet their first de-

Last Call for Membership in the
' Exeter Horticultural Society
As the lists must be completed not
later than the first week in March,
don’t wait, check your premium and
hand it in. The enthusiasm of the
canvassers this year combined with
the exceptional value of the premium
not only shows signs of attaining the
objective set for the year, of 130
members, but threatens to attain the
figure set for 1940, of 154, which
would equal the membership of 1929,
the year of prosperity.
The Society want your member
ship. Their objective among other
things, is to encourage interest and
improvement in horticulture, by the
distribution of seeds, plants, bulbs,
flowers, trees, and shrubs and as
two-thirds of the government grant
is based on such expenditure and
one-third on membership, the ex
tent of public improvements, such
as planting of trees on our streets,
which the Society are planning for
this year; is determined largely by
the participation and consideration
of all the citizens in the district.
Fortunately the society in return
for this co-operation can give its
members from $1.50 to $2 of retail
value for their $1 of premium. The
premium list this year is quite var
ied, but in case a member should
want something not listed the can
vassers are supplied with catalogues
from which a choice can be made.

In the first period Crediton had an
