Roaring Lions Defeat Bruising Fireme Tuesday evening was a busy tin at the rink with three games of ho key. All the matches were excitin but the final game when: the Lion Club took the Firemen into camp b the score of 1-0, provided the mos thrills. The game was the result of a chal lenge from the members of th Fire Department and the teams line up as follows: Firemen: Goal, Kel, Streets; de fence, Bill Mcclinchey and Sam Cas tle; centre, Gordy Lawson; wing Frank Dixon, Ross Forrester; sub Bill Mutch, Cap. Cook. Lions: Goal, "Shut -out" Lavelle defence, Doc. .McIntyre and Do Oakes; centre, Tubby Lawson; wings Ken Waters and Bill Ball; subs, Al ex. Haddy, Del. Maltby, Len Mc Knight and Monty 'Monteith. The game was a close checking of fair and ' many heavy body check were handed out, but the referee kep it well in hand giving'numerous pen alties. Doc. McIntyre received th first penalty but the Lions manage to hold the Firemen for the time. little later Gordy Lawson was give a penalty, then Manager Frank Ping land and Coach Art. Knight of th Lions went into a huddle, and decid ed to throw five forwards over th boards with the instructions to pu on the power play. The strateg worked to perfection. Bill Ball star ed the play and after some fine pas sing .plays from Del Maltby to Ken Waters to Monty Monteith, the lat ter managed to put the rubber pas Goalie Streets. After this the power play was tried continually by bot teams but the goalers were unbeat able. The game was featured by, end t end rushes by Doc. Oakes and Doc McIntyre' for the Lions and by Bil McClinchey, Frank Dixon 'and San Castle, for the Firemen. In the last period, Manager Geo Hanley for the Firemen, threw can tion to the wind and sent out si forwards, including the gooier, bu in desperation the •roaring Lions hel them off until the final gong. Since the game we understand the drug stores are doing a rushing busi ness selling liniment. It is. rumoured that the Firemen will ,demand a return game and this maybe arranged' on Tuesday even- ing next,• if the: ice holds out.
