Yep, it seems that Ilderton produces better speakers and politicians, in a committee room, at -any rate. When Lucan beat Ildei’ton, in their first meeting of • this young hockey season, 5-4, Ilder ton had the better supply of home brew, so Ilderton grabbed the opportunity to-slip in the back entrance of the committee room, to- protest and win the game. Jack Ready, Lucan president, got a little too close to Alerv Horde, of Ilderton, in the. prom enade of the Arena, during the hockey gafne. The- conversation was rather on- the rapid and heated side, to say the least, portending a rough time for Il derton, come F.riday, .Dec.. .28.
