Gavin recalls his 19th year when he

brother had continued on to Baylfield

Two thrilling games of hockey were
played on Saturday,' Feb. 6th, in t'he'
McMillan Cup series. There wars an
unusually large crowd for the opening:
game. None of the teams have had'
any practise this winter due to lack
of ice. However, some good hockey
was ,handed nut at times and the fans
received their money's worth. Every
player tried hard to hold up his end.
of the ,play.
Egmondville 5, Winthrop 1. •
F n the first game,Egmondville
came out best in their game with
Winthrop, the score being 5-1. Ref-
eree Allan Reid dropped the puck for
the face-off' at 7.40 pan, and the con -
tett was on. ,Everyone was on .their
toes and away. They fought back
and forth for an hour and although
Egmondville tallied the most 'number
of«, times, Winthrop was by ,no means
outclassed. They proved they were
fighters -by storming Egmondville's
quarters at every opportunity.

game was real fast and.enjoyed by alt
The ,play never Tagged at any time,and
the interest of the crowd was kept till
the final- minute was up. The score
indicates how evenly matched these
two teams are. Tuckersmith surpris-
ed the crdwd .with their cotulbina'ti'on
and team -work. If they keep up their
brand of hockey they will snake the'

limit to hold the trophy.

Tuckersmith vs. Winthrop.
Two more games of McMillan Cup Seattle, six` weeks •where she under -
hockey were played on Tuesday even-
ing, Feb. 9. The first game was play-
ed between Tuckersmith and Win-
throp, Tuckersmith came out best,
3-2. The score indicates 'how even the
contest 'was.
Alvin Dales a new man on Win-
throp's line-up opened the scoring.
Larky Coleman soon came back with
a counter to even things up. B'o'th
teams tried their best to break- the
tie but the -first period ended 14,
•Tuckersmith scored two in the sec-
ond frame and 'Winthrop scored, one
in the third. Wilson McCartney and
Larky Coleman. scoring Tucker -
smith's goals, and "Tim" Eaton Win-
throp's second goal.
Winthrop has some' fast skaters
and stick handlers but Tuckersmith
had the most team work.. The bell
was handled by Toe Bart.
Egmondville vs. St. Columban.
The second • game was played be-
tween ` the boys from E'gmondvil'1'e
and ,the St. Columban Greenshirts,
St. Colum/ban 'were defeated 2-9.
The first period started with both-
teams racing from end to end trying
hard to scare. Soon Wilson Wright
caught his stride and s'cored on a
lone rush from end to end. Although
they tried hard St. 'Columban, could
not score and the period ended 1-0
for Egm'ondville..,
in the second period . there were
th'ri'lls and spills aplenty. Stick
slashing and poke checking seemed
t0 start them going. Soon, 'hohyever,
both teams got their second wind
and some good hockey was seen for
a few minutes.
The third stanza wa's an exciting as
the second. Vincent Lane made some.
desperate efforts but to no avail Roy
