Exeter showed better combination in their attacks as a result of their new coaching. Regulai' players from both teams were missing. Creech, Exeter’s ace defenseman, was out from an injur­ ed knee while Lucan was minus their players from Kirkton due to heavy roads. » Most of the locals figured in the scoring, Moise netted three; Beav­ ers two and Cornish, Dinney, Ryck­ man and Lutman each bulged twine, Zurbrigg and McCarty lied for the losers. , Although the game opened rather slow it livened up towards the last half. Exeter made it 2-0 in the first period. Cornish open­ ed the scoring with a long drive which the goalie deflected off his stick into the net. Moore and Din­ ney combined in the second goal, Moore flipping a pass to Dinney in front of the net. In the second session there were no less than seven goals scored, Exeter getting five of them. Ryck- man got the first on a rebound from Lutman’s long drive. Beavers went on the rampage and netted two in quick succession. The first was a three-way affair, Dinney to Moore to Beavers. Ryckman assisted in the second. Lucan came to life and Zurbrigg taking the puck along the right boards caught the far corner of the net with a long shot. Lutman got Exeter’s sixth goal. England had no chance, unable to see the ! disc as it travelled through a maze i1 of legs. Lutman again was in the | net play centreing the puck from the | corner to Moise who gave England ■ no chance. McCarty got Lucan’s i second and last tally with a long : drive to the far side of the hemp. Moise completed the hat trick in the third semester. Lutman was again the playmaker on both goals. In the first tally Moise drove the disc home after being centred ’by Lutman. McDonald Lutman; and Moise combined to get the final counter. The line-up: Goal, Ford; Cornish and Ryckman; Moise; wings, Lutman and aid; subs. Beavers, Moore, Hockey, Snell and Willard. Lucan: Goal, England; Downing, Chowan, Baynes, McCarty Zurbrigg; subs., Hodgins, Watson, Harvey, Morkin. Officials — L. O’Brien and Wm.

It was a close contest although Crediton had more shots on goal than did the home team but they were unable to click. Crediton took a nearly lead when G. Haist scored. With only a few minutes to play Hudson for Hensall tied it up, both teams exerting themselves to the limit. The game went into overtime and Crediton secured the winning counter. Bob Wolfe netted the puck on a pass from A. Fahrner. $ ❖ & Austin Fahrner Leads Crediton Scorers In the scoring race by the Cred- iton team Austin Fahrnei' is lead­ ing the way.
