Many supporters followed the Eag
les to Palmerston Tuesday night to
cheer them on. They had plenty of
opportunity to make a noise even if
the Birds did lose 2-0, *The ice was
not in good shape having been skat
ed on the night before. The result
was the first period was slow in com
parison to the other two stanzas, at
that both teams lost chances to
score. The game was cleanly played,
four penalties were handed out, all for
minor infractions of the rules.
In the second period the Birds dom
inated the play but could not put one
past Strucke. Palmerston had two
penalties but their strong defensive
play held the flying Birds off.
The third period was the most ex
citing. Both teams were playing
cautiously but ■ skating fast and it
looked as if the team that got a goal
would be the winner. Half-way
through this period Palmerston got
that goal and it looked like a million
dollars to them. This was a signal
for the Birds to break loose and they
threw caution to the winds, using five
forwards, stormed the Palmerston
goal but could not get the equalizer.
Palmerston broke away in the clear
several times but the boys got back
or Zulauf saved the day. With three
minutes to go, Bridgeford put the
game on ice for Palmerston, b-ut the
Palmerston goalie had to be good to
stop the Birds.
For Palmerston, English, Goettler
and Barton were best, and the bou
quets for Wingham go to Zulauf, Pat
terson and Cruickshanks, but this
does not take away the much deserv
ing credit that belongs to the other
members of the team,
