HOCKEY
The first of the home and home
games between Zurich and Hensall
in the play-off for the McDonell cup
was staged on the local rink -en. • "
day evening, when a .capacity. crowd
saw a real exhibition from which
the visitors emerged on top of a
4-2 score. •Theinitial stanza saw
both teams• right up on the bit and
much checking was in evidence, es-
pecially by the local boys • whobot-
tled the puck up at Zurich's end and
kept it there for the greater part of
the period, having five shots to one
on goal. Walper, the visitor's goal-
ie was "right on," however, and be-
sides he had horseshoes all over him
for in the first 20 minutes he at
Ieast stopped 3 that he never saw
till he felt them hit his pads, oh,
he's good, but he's also lucky and
these two qualities combined made
him hard to beat, although the local
boys peppered him consistently in
the first period. Near the close of
this spasm C. Shaddock took a shot
and Walper failed to clear the re-
bound, which Hoggarth batted in,
immediately after. which time Sound-
ed. • At the start of the next frame
Zurich had a piece of luck when
they shot on Webber the Hensall
goalie; from outside the defense and
scored. The puck never left the ice
but took a little hop at the goal
mouth and ; trickled in. During the
remainder of this period play was
very even, but Zurich' ' managed to
notch another when a tussle took
place in front of the Hensall net and
was batted in before:. Webber could
see, a jumble of feet and sticks be-
ing the way. The period ended 2-1
for -Zurich. The last stanza •found
the game .slowing up a little but
Blowes scored shortly after play be-
gan on a beautiful shot from right
wing with a hole of :.about 6 inches
as a target. As in the preceeding
period play was very even but Gascho
got a free shot near the net and
broke the score.. The last goal the
visitors got was not earned. It re-
sulted form a melee staged 20 feet
in front of the Hensall net and as
before a Zurich player took a cut
at the puck which spun towards the
local goal on its edge took a curve.
and 'rolled between Webber's feet.
Although numerous rushes ' were
made by the green -and -whites after
this, Zurich was playingfor time
and whenever the puck came to the
visitors defense, would be shot to
the other end. Thus the fray end-
ed with Zurich two - goals in the.
lead. Blowes on right wing turned
-in a good game, being and expert
checker and a fast mover. Al Bell
also made several rushes but was al-
ways steered towards the corner,
while Chas. Shaddock on defense
gave a good account of himself.
Zurich's defense, O'Brien and Gascho
showed up best for the visitors. The
return game will be played in Zurich
on Thursday evening. The manag-
ing Committee of the Hensall Eiookey
Club wish to thank the many fans
for their liberal patronage and
whole -hearted . support given • the
team this' year. Tuesday evening's.

The first debate under the aus-
pices of the Stephen Township Re-
ligious Education Council which was
scheduled for Tuesday evening at
Crediton United churchhas gone by
default. The Dashwood team, which
was to meet the team from Crediton
United Sunday School: have declin-
ed to act. Messrs Ed. Chambers,
Herb Mitchell and Melvin Lamport
were the chafnpions for Crediton.
The subject was "Resolved that men
are as much called to serve God in
business as in the ministry." It
sounds good and it is to be hoped
that some plan can be devised for
the hearing of this debate later.
At a recent meeting of Huron

pastor of the present Crediton and
Ailsa Craig circuit tendered his rest-•
gnation to take effect at the end of
the Conference, year. The Presby-
tery refused to accept it, and it was
laid on the table until next meeting.
Since then the three congregations
of the new Crediton circuit have got
together and on Sunday last Mr. J.
H. Amos presented Mr. 1VfcTavish
with a resolution signed by each
congregation inviting him to become
the pastor of, Crediton circuit next

Daniel Finkbeiner, born Jan. 20,
1920,died in Victoria Hospital, Lon-
don, on Saturday, February 20th,

unusual case of mastoid, which de-
veloped into cerebral spinal menin-

the dreadful malady could not be de-
fied. Funeral service was held on
Tuesday, February 23rd, interment

ery after which a memorial service
was held, Rev. W. Y. Dreier was in

of the Psalmist 103:15-16 and. from
John's Gospel 13:7.

port that Gordon Charles the 6
months old infant son of Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel Finkbeiner was also op-
erated on In the home for mastoid
and on Monday last he with his
mother went to St. Joseph's Hospital

sorrowing family and friends have
the heartfelt sympathy of the com-
munity whose hope and prayer it is
that he may speedily recover.
