One tag was missing on the cup for the 1938 season. Files of The Times- Advocate for that year were looked up and if they be correct the Mc­ Millan mug is to go to the team finishing at the top of the league at the end of the schedule. The Berger cup donated by Hoff­ man and Son, of Zurich, is claimed by the League championship team. However, it is believed by several local sportsmen from whom we made inquiries that this cup remain per­ manently with the team who holds it three years in a row. If this is correct the Lucan Irish will keep the silver since they won it in 1940, 1941 and 1942. Accordingly the new Traquair trophy and the Mc­ Millan cup are for the same pur­ pose and it seems likely that the new trophey should he changed to the League championship silver­ ware, if the foregoing is correct. Getting back to the history of the McMillan cup we find that it was donated by the late Thomas McMillan, M.P., in 1926. For thir­ teen straight years up to and in­ cluding 1938 the Zurich team won the cup. In 1939 Hensail were the possessors. For the next three years when the Lucan Irish reigned sup­ reme the cup followed them. Since 1942 the league has not been in operation until this season when Exeter won top honors. As far as the championship tro­ phy is concerned whether Lucan possess it permanently or not it will probably stay there anyway as the championship series have been left undecided. As for the new Traquair trophy it will likely he held over until next year when it will be de­ cided for what honor it should be presented.* * * * GODERICH PROTESTS The Goderich Juveniles have hopes of getting back into the juvenile "B” playdowns of the On­ tario Minor Hockey Association, According to the Stratford Beacon Herald the County Seat entry have filed a protest over the Bolton round. Goderich won their home game 8-4 but in Bolton lost to the tune of 20-4. Goderich contends that the markings of the ice in Bol­ ton were improper. The face-off spots at the ends of the rink are directly on the goal line, instead •of the usual fifteen feet out. Add to that fact that Bolton carried several players that did not appear on the lineup for the first game it appears that Goderich has • a go.od case. 'One Goderich official according to "Chick” Appel claims that the Bolton fans did not know (most of their players and were dis­ gusted with the setup. Two officials of the OMHA were on hand, contends a Goderich of­ ficial, but turned a deaf ear to the Goderich complaint. However, the case will come before the OMHA and if the above facts are true we may yet see Goderich in the play- offs. Both the Midgets and Juniors are still in the running. * * * -x- NEW RECORD Bespectacled Gil Dodds, the run­ ning parson from across the border, established a new Canadian Mile record at Hamilton, Saturday night when he clocked at 4:10, six sec­ onds faster than Glen CuniTing- ham’s old record.
