Crediton led the scoring all the way to near the end of the game. An overtime period failed to break the tie. Smi .x in the Creation nets was spectacular especially during Lucan’s overtime drive. Crediton opened the scoring thirty seconds after the face-off when A. Fahrner netted the pack and then came back later to make it two in succession, both of them from two accurate angle shots. Crediton forc ed the pace most of the period and i had an edge on the Irish six. B. Wolfe made it 3-0 beating Downing from the side. Lucan scored their first goal when G. Paul beat the goalie from a scramble in front of the net. In the middle from Mc Donald for Lucan opened the scor ing making it 3-2. The Paul bro thers combining in a nice play slip ped through the Crediton defence but Smith made a spectacular save. Bowden made it 4-2 on an unassist ed play. Lucan came right back on Hammond’s shot from the blue line which' caught the upper corner of the cage. Reg. Paul opened the scoring in the third session combin ing with his brother on a nice piece of work. The two Fahrner’s and B. Wolfe broke away and Wolfe scored after a nice piece of com bination work. Lucan applied the pressure with four men up and G. Paul tied the score. In the overtime period neither team scored. Lucan put up a terrif- ric battle, but were held scoreless, Smith being sensational in. the nets, The line-up: Crediton: Goal, .Smith; defense, Bowden and H. Wolfe; centre, W. Fahrner; wings, A.
