Lucan Repeats History
iWith Win Over Zurich
i History repeated itself almost
to the letter Friday night when
Lucan Irish ran roughshod over
Zurich Flyers in the final game
of ano t h e r spectacular seven
game Cyclone “C” playoff series,
The Irish, who could do little
wrong, rolled up a 13-5 knockout
over the Flyers, who couldn’t go
right. Over 1,700 fans, some of
whom came by horse and cutter,
witnessed the high-scoring, fiery
and, at times, colorful tilt.
Ironically, the score was exact
ly the same as the 1953 final
when Lucan ousted Zurich in the
crucial match. And the Trish
posted this year’s victory exactly
the same way they did it last
year—-by scoring seven goals in
the first period.
Power Attack
The powerful opening at
tack of Harvey Langford’s team
drove Zurich out of the picture.
Before the Flyers could slow
down their opponents, Lucan had
a 7-2 lead in the first period.
The rest of the tilt was fairly
even, although the Irish out-
scored Zurich in every frame.
Outstanding performer of the
night, Len Gaudette, fired four
goals and collected two assists
for the winners. The hard-batt-
was

Rowett, who performed a

Although Roger Fortier

Me-
was below expectations, it was
good considering the condition
of the roads. The main highways
were dangerously icy and many
of the township roads were
blocked. Out Zurich way, rural
fans came over the drifts by
team and sleigh, horse and cut
ter or walked through the fields
to get to the highway.
Plugged roads caused a long-
delay in the game when two
Stratford referees couldn’t get to
Exeter. It was after nine before
two London officials, George
Robertson and Mush Higgins, ar
rived to handle the tilt. Some
spectators, who came before se
ven o’clock, waited two hours
before they saw action. But as
soon as’the opening whistle blew,

McKinley and Junior Barash
failed to click with a Zurich rush
but Ed Rowett and Leroy Rev
ington found the mark at 10.53.
Rowett, whose ability to draw
opponents to one side and leave
a winger in the clear helped win
the scoring title, set Gaudette up
for another counter at 12.12.
Fortier, Hesse and Maisonville
combined to score for Zurich at
12.56 and Gaudette ended the
first peried counting at 13.54

punches and a small brawl broke
out. Fred Revington and Gignae,
who jumped out of the penalty
box, provided another duel. All
four received match-misconducts.
An unexpected flurry of
salaams and bows amused the
crowd. Gaudette started it in the
second period after he had scored
his fourth goal. Fortier mimick
