After considera- the ap’peal the Court was Bad Luck Dogs Zurich Team A correspondent to the Zurich Herald writes: “This item is not an alibi for our local hockey- team, of which we are so justly proud, but rather a resume of happenings from the time the first play-off game started up to the time the Zurich club was eliminated by that fine team from Gorrie. In the first game of the play-offs with Dashwood our goalie Billie Merner was accidently struck in the face with the >puck, breaking his cheek bones and side-lining him for the season. The second game found ,us without the ser­ vices of defenceman Bob Mc­ Kinley, who was knocked out by old man flu. The third game Glen Weido was .out with the flu, and Harold Stade our de­ fence star and team captain suf­ fered a broken bone in his ankle near the end of the game, which put him out for the remainder of the play-offs. The fourth game was no different from the pro­ ceeding ones for who should come up with a broken bone in his leg but Marcel Quesnel, which of course finished him. At this point the series with Dashwood was finished with Zurich taking the honors 3 to .1. In the first game with Gorrie, with a team greatly weakened by broken bones and flu. defenceman Bill O’Brien cracked a rib which ren­ dered him incapable of further service. Then to top everything off and make the list complete, winger Doug O’Brien .suffered a torn ligament and eracked knee­ cap in the last game with Gor­ rie at Clifford. To show just what these boys are made of you can take Roger (Al) Deslaures one of the big scorers on the wing, who has been playing the last five games with a chipped bone in his foot and whin h should have been in a cast. Al wood not stand for having this I done, but tightly bound the foot ,and continued playing liis usual fine game.
