GORRIE TEAM LEADS LEAGUE Gorrie 4 — Blyth 2 z The local hockey boys feel they are going places after having won their third home game on Monday night from Blyth 4-2. It was the best con test ever staged here and the crowd saw their money’s worth. Blyth has a fast team and were previously un defeated. They play their home gam es on Wingham ice, having no rink of their own. . Gorrie was strengthened by the pre sence of McKee Davidson, of Ford wich, and Wes. Paulin, of Wroxeter, The former, along with Bob. Gibson and Clayton Edwards, arc bolters from the Howick League. All three played a star game. “Mickey” is a defence man but scored two Gorrie goals. Leland Ashton and Paulin scored the other pair. The count by periods was 1*0, 2-1, 4*2, with the homesters always leading. Harry Brown; repeated his long motor trip through the storm and played his usual strong game, Ken.

Gorrie 8 — Brussels 4 Making a fighting finish to score five\goals in the 3rd period, Gorrie’s stalwart Black and Whites turned back the invading Brussels Hockey team by the tune of 8-4. Led by the indomitable Harry Brown, the gal lant Gorrie forward line made thrust after thrust in that final stanza and completely out-played and out-lasted the visitors’ veteran defence-men. The Gorrie players played an all- star game. They had to be good and they were good. The huskier Brus sels crew were leading 2-1 at the close of the first period and 4-3 at the end of the second, but the locals had a scoring spree in the nightcap and all was well. Highlights of the game were the fine defence work of Steurnol, and Harry Brown, who motored 70 miles from Heathcote to participate, was a 60-minute man .and a fine play-mak er. After the game he made a mid night return drive to his seat of learn ing. The other forwards, Higgins, MacTavish, Leland Ashton, Bob Gib- Son and Leggett, were like hornets buzzing round the enemy goal. For Brussels, the veteran “Biddy” Bell, showed flashes of war-time form at centre, while Bert McIntyre, D. Warwick and Ken Ashton played a nice defence game Until the last ses sion. Stratton was the best of the forwards. The g.ame was kept clean by referee Kirslake, of Seaforth, and it was no ticeable that both teams adopted ganging tactics to score goals suc cessfully, while their opponents were a man short. The attendance was gratifying con sidering the weather, and the fans realize that some good hockey games will be played this winter. WROXETER dan-Mr. and Mrs. J.
