Intermediate puck loop in this district got under way last Thursday night with the London squad entertaining Tayistock in the curtain raiser at the local arena. We were attending a hockey meet ing at Wingham that evening and so the following write-up is by Jack Bark of the /London Free Press. A soft goal, with only five sec onds of play remaining, gave Tavis tock a 5-4 decision over London Majors in the opening'game of th© Intermediate O.H.A. “B” schedule played here tonight before 700 fans. A tiring London club, trying des perately to hang on, were more out- lucked than outplayed as Norm Carnegie's shot, which never left the ice, slid between the skates of Goalie Phil Fitzmaurice to^decide the hard-played struggle. ' Carnegie was the man of the hour for the gritty Tavistock squad. With "his team trailing by 4-3 ‘ and less than eight minutes left to play, he banged in the tying counter while one of his mates was in the penalty box. His photo finish counter in the dying seconds capped a fine performance. Impressive Start y London started off in impressive fashion as they opened up a two- goal lead early in the opening frame, Billy Legg scoring both counters, Tavistock whittled down the margin‘ before the frame ended and took an edge in the middle ses sion to even the score on the game at 3-3.' ' It was rugged hockey all the way and both clubs lacked condition. ' The younger Tavistock squad seem ed to stand the pace better, for Majors were barely in there at the closing gong. While fooled on a softie in the final seconds. Fitzmaurice played a standout game in the London net. Fink and Barrett were the pick of the defence, with Legg, Robert son and Clarke the top front liners.

Becunie Suspicious “It was about 5.30 and a goipg down th© street woke dis til© car I..... ... me up,” said Holt who lives next to th© post office. J looked, out and saw the car ©top in front of the post office. It was a strange car, and, I got suspicious right away. "I just hauled my pants on over my night clothes and went to the phone, I gave the long ring that we give here for an emergency and I got my neighbor, Lawrence Mason, He said he would come right away in his car. If there was anything going on in the Post office, we in tended to catch whoever was doing it, "I then phoned police in the vil lage and Exeter, Mason came over and just as we were leaving the house two young men ran from the post office into this strange car. Mason ran' to his car and tried to head them off when they started to turn around in the street. In doing so he hit the back of their car hard enough to knock a small piece off the rear end, But we didn’t have a chance to chase them. They left town b/y a sideroad in a hurry.” Holt explained. "There may have been more tthan two on the job but that is all I saw. They must have got fright ened when they heard Mason’s car pull up in front of my place, al though Mason did it quietly and had his lights off,” he said. 1 I CONTEST CONCLUDED The Christmas meeting of the Women’s Association of Centralia United Church was held recently in the basement.
