The final, score was 4-2, but the fourth Ripley goal was scored af­ ter time was actually up, the timers being too engrossed in the game to notice a little thing like the time. The Maitlands turned in the best game of their young careers and. only inexper­ ience stands between them and a play-off berth. After spotting the Redmen a thr'ee-goal lead the kids tore in with a vengeance and made it 3-2, but time and a< last-minute pen­ alty- to Jack Bateson thwarted them. Both tearirs started ■ pautiogsly but after about ten mintites McCormick : Opened the scoring' fo,r Ripley with a nice solo effort, The M^its mad* few dangerous sortiqs/Jn.-th;is session, be? ing content tq,-deh Redshirts do the work. A great 'irpprovement in the kids’ defensive play ,..was noticeable. Ripley ni'acfe it 2-D less than two min­ utes after, the start of the second per-1 iod, Bowers ,makiirg-'..a perfect pass •from near- the bluS-Iine to H. Harris, who was totally uncovered in front of the Malts’ net and Harris gave Le- pard no- chance bn a quick’ snap shot.’ To many local fans (the few who were there anyway) it looked as if Bowers had taken the puck into the centre zone before his goal-ward pass but Referee Lockridge thought other­ wise. From there on the locals perked up considerably and made several dang­ erous thrusts on their own account. Bob Rae had 'particularly hard luck when he had Pollock beaten but shot wide. The kid line of Carter, D. Biggs and Murray, made some nice plays but lacked the final punch. Ripley’s third goal, midway through the final canto was a gift from Jack Bateson, who delfected Bell's shot past a helpless Lepard, Bill had al­ ready moved to cover the shot and was beaten cold. Four minutes later Posliff got the Maitlands’ first goal, taking a pass from Baker and going cin to pick a corner. A bare-faced charge of Richardson by Bill Harris went unpenalized and while it didn’t do Rich.-any good, it stirred his mates up considerably, Bak’er bringing the Maitlands right back into the game by sinking Posliff’s nice pass to make it 3-2. With only a few minutes left Coach Somers sent out the fast-skat­ ing Carter for a final drive with only Jack Bateson doing defense duty. The kids had .the Redmen hemmed in practically the balance of the period, till Bateson drew a penalty. Murray, CATHARTICS A BAD HABIT you liave common con­ stipation, due to lack of bulk in the diet, the great objection jo pills and i purgatives is that, they only perpetuate the trouble. Why not encourage elimination with a natural laxative food-with Kel­ logg’s AH-Bran. It absorbs moisture and softens like a sponge. This water-sof­ tened mass aids elimina­ tion. At the same time it improves intestinal tone because Kellogg's All-Bran contains the intestinal tonic vitamin Bj. Eat All-Bran as a cereal or baked in muffins. And drink plenty of water, Made by Kellogg fn Lon­ don, Ontario. XX Biggs, Baker and Carter were kept out in an effort to get the tying goal but with the result as we mentioned before, that Ripley got a very much last second goal when McCormick broke through alone and slid the puck under Lepard, For the locals all the kids played their best hockey. Harry Posliff did a much better job of centre-ice check­ ing than he has hitherto turned in and Carter, Baker and Rae did pretty good jobs, too. Young Darrel Biggs continued to play sweet hockey al­ though badly handicapped by a pair of short legs. Richardson and Bate­ son, on defence, exceeded the manag­ er’s hopes in this department and not a quarter of the nerve-wracking mix-* ups took place this game as compared to some of the other games, Lepard continued to 'do all that was required of him in the net, As for Ripley, the Redmen have a nicely balanced club, heavy enough to take care of themselves and, capable of making some nice plays. McCor­ mick, thq Har.ris.es and Bell perhaps were the best, but Bill Harris spoiled his .performance a lot by charging and other illegal w.o.r'k, but went un­ scathed... -Pollocks did a niqe job of goal-tend! ng. • . * * -t They Fought, Anyway Ripley: - Goal, Pollock; 1. def., Mc­ Cormick.; r. def., Miller; centre, B, Harris; 1. wing, Bowers; r. wing, H.
