Weather Unkind
As far as hockey fans and play
ers are concerned the weatherman
thus far has been very unkind. Sev
eral games have been postponed at
the Arena this season. Minor hockey
especially seems to he getting the
worst' of it. They have had to post
pone several of their home games.
The Juveniles and Midgec» have
been able to worn m something like
four hours, of practicing besides the
games that have been played. It’s
hard to develop) hockey players at
that rate. Outdoor rinks have taken
the worst beating and district teams
in the Cyclone League have had to
make many postponements. Grand
Bend to our knowledge has played
but two games all season.
* x- * *
Imports I
Just what Dashwood’s idea in im
porting several players from London
in their game against the locals last
Thursday night is, we can’t see.
While Exeter protested their doing
.so at the beginning of the game they
’could hardly be backed up since
none of the teams in the league
were signed up 'before the required
date on January 15th. As a matter
of fact we believe some teams
haven’t their player list in yet.
However, that is ibeside the .point
of the sportsmanship angle. That
kind of thing only creates bad feel
ings between the teams and fans
alike.
Another unfortunate incident in
the same game was the injury to
the Dashwood player. We aren’t
sticking up for- the local puck
chaser nor do we know the injured
chap personally. The Dashwood
centre had been playing a robust
sort of game and had clipped iRyck-
man first with his stick. Those who
look foi* trouble usually get it, is
the old saying.
* * * *
Undefeated
The Midgets, Juveniles and Jun
iors up at the 'County Seat certain
ly are riding high this season None
of the three teams has lost a game
this season and according to some
of the scores they have piled up
the total goals scored by all three
teams would he a job* to tally up.
* * * *
Shaw Top Sniper
Scanning over the games played
thus far and tallying up the goals
we find that Harry Shaw leads ’the
pack with thirteen .goals while Art
Trites is next in line with eight.
Joe MacDonald and Wes. Ryckman
have three apiece. The leading
sniper’s big night was in Dash11
wood when he banged in six mark
ers,* . * * *
Sbort er Periods ?
Somebody suggested to us the
other day about .cutting down the
playing time of the doubleheaders.
This fan thought that lS-minute
periods would give the fans plenty
of hockey. As it is now the sessions
are twenty-three minutes straight.
At that rate we would be home a
half hour earlier which in view of
the last doubleheader might be a
heck of a good thing. The game
ended at ten minutes past midnight
fey our Bulova and that’s too much
hockey for anyone in a single eve
ning.
Detroit Parts With Hank
The Detroit Tigers have parted
with one of their idols in selling
Hank Greenberg to the Pittsburg
Pirates. The big boy has turned in
a lot of good baseball for the Tig
ers especially with his booming baj>
The owners made sure that the
the Motor City favorite wouldn’t
return to make them rue the day.
They sold him out of the league al
together. The only way that Hank
can plague his erstwhile owners is
for -both clubs to hook up in the
world series and that does seem a
remote chance.

Takes Top Honors
Canada’s entry in the European
figure skating event, pretty 18-year-
old Barbara Ann Scott, has proudly
■carried off top honors in the 'big
event held in Switzerland last week,
Barbara is now headed for Stock
holm where later in the month she
will vie with other top-notch skaters
for the world championship.
* * * *
Penetang’s Best
The Penetang Legion elected Phi!
■Marchildon as the person to most
publicize that town. We’ll bet that
wasn’t a terrific task for the judges,
Considering the lowly standing of
the Philadelphia Athletics Phil did
a real job for Connie Mack last
season. We see that a baseball fan
has figured up avearges for baseball
pitchers according to the league
standing of their teams, Marchil-
don’s ranking put him among the
top ranking pitchers last season.

The Goat
It seems that when a hockey
team hits the skids the goalie usu
ally is the goat. Already there is
talk of Paul Bibeault being replac
ed in Chicago nets by Amile (the
cat) Francis from Regina Capit
ols. He may play this Bunday night.
Now they are beginning to start on
Turk Broda. It’s hardly fair after
the way Broda has played this sea
son. It was the Leaf netminder who
had a lot to do with the Toronto
team’s early successes. Maybe the
Turk has lost those toenails we
heard so much about lately.
* * * *
Remember Bucko?
Bucko MacDonald, who left the
ranks of pro hockey and became a
member of parliament is currently
the big attraction in the .North Bay
and District Hockey League. Sun-
dridge, the team with which he got
his start and is now finishing his
career on the blades, is leading the
league. They say Bucko isn’t get
ting any thinner and finds it more
difficult to get in front of the more
agile opponents 'but it’s tough for
those who do. To top it all off he |
i hasn’t had a trip to the “sin bin”
so far this year.

League Leaders Shoved Around
The league leaders have been
shoved around in their last two
starts at the Arena. Two weeks ago
Hensail edged Lucan while Zurich
tied Exeter. This past week Dash
wood tied Exeter while Zurich took
Lucan’s measure. Exeter, however,
has a comfortable six point margin
while the rest are closely grouped.
Lucan and Hensall are still tied at
four points in second place with
Dashwood and Zurich close behind.

Dashwood Ties
Exeter Squad
In the closest and hardest fought
contest of the season Dashwood and
Exeter played to a 4-4 draw at the
Arena Thursday night.
At no point in the game did
either team enjoy more than a sin
gle .goal lead. Dashwood jumped in
front early in the game only to have
Exeter' tie it and take the lead.
Dashwood then knotted the count
again and grabbed the lead Exeter
came from behind the second time
and went ahead 4-3 'but before the
final whistle blew Dashjwood had
squared the count.
The game was delayed due to the
protest that the locals put u.p over
the outside help the visitors brought
in but since none of the teams in
the league had submitted player
lists before the deadline and some
teams have failed to as yet it was
hardly possible to take any action.
Although Exeter predominated
the play Dashwood had theii* mom
ents and at times had the locals
pressed in. their own end. Both
goalies came up With some nice
saves especially" Berl-y who had a
tougher workout than his rival.
Philp, on the other hand, made
some clever stops as the Dashwood
puckchasers broke away when the
Exetdr squad were playing well up:
The close play kept tempers on
the alert and near the end of the
first period Ryckman slipped a- fist
on .Schroeder’s eye that required
three stitches .and brought a majol*
.penalty to Ryckman and a two min
ute one to Schroeder. Musser sat
the penalty out for the injured
player.
Smith’s second goal in the third
period Was a hotly disputed affair,
No one apparently realized that he
had scored and play continued un
til the goal judge called referee
Manore back and claimed the puck
had gone in the net. Although the
Exeter side put up an argument the
refei’ee had no choice but to take
the goal judge’s word for it.
Hat Trick for Shaw
The first line of Shaw, MacDon
ald and Trites continued to carry
the mail for the Legion entry.
Shaw tabbed three goals with
Trites the other while the hard
working MacDonald played ap ex
ceptionally fine game with his play
making and checking.
The outside help Dashwood
brought in accounted for all of their
goals. Smith equalled Shaw’s hat
trick feat with MacDonald netting
the other tally. ,

Lucan Drops
Tilt to Zurich
■Following the pattern of the
first game the Lucan-Zurich effort
was a close one "with Zurich coming
out on top after a tough battle on
■the soft ice. The final score read
3-2.
It was the second straight loss
for the Irish who ..still remain tied
in second place with Hensall who
remained inactive last week Zurich
on the other hand have won three
■ out of four points in their last two
starts. Last week they held the un
defeated Exeter squad to a tie.
A lot of credit for the Zurich
win goes to 'Gib 'Stade’s untiring
work at the blueline. Time after
time he broke up the rushes of the
Lucan forwards and being a fair
sort of a goaltender aided that de
partment no little bit as well.
Zurich’s two-goal lead in the
first period put them off on the
right foot. O’Brien and O’Dwyer
were the marksmen. In the middle
canto Fired Revington scored a
smart goal after Hindmarsh had set
him up. It was the only tally of
the period. Each team garnered 1
in the final period. Bedard scored
for Zurich while Stretton was the
Lucan Marksman.
