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.
