McNPILLAIN' CUP HIOCKEY
On Saturday even'in'g, Feb, 20th, the
fans were treated to two more ex'cit-
ing, games of hockeyfor the McMil-
lan Cup. The first game was between
St. 'Coluimb:an and Tucicersmith, St.
Columban was defeated 6-0. The
game 'didn't begin until about 811'5
owing to a little dispute over a cer-
tain player being eligible. When it,
did start there was a whinllw'ind of
sticics and men, Everyone seemed
overflowing with energy. Tucker -
smith, however, settled down to hock_
ey with plenty ofcombination on and
d
scored four goals before Sit •C'dlum-
ban could, get their bearings. E. Ma-
lone was penalized for 'holding the
puck with his hand, making just one
penalty fior .the period. The 'goals
were scored 'by Jim ,Doig, Gord Rey-
n+olds• and 'Wilse 'Mc'Cartney. '(2).
St. Columban settled' • down' to -play`
in the second period but Couldn't

ckersmith

a
defence men Wilfred1
C0 omen shot
a nice goal tfrom the (blue line on a
pass, from 'Blob' Archibald. There
were no penailties, in this period.
In the 't'hird (period Vincent Lane
took a .trip to the penalty box and
Was soon 'followed by Wise Mc-
Cartney, both for .minor offences.
Gord Reynolds tripped 'Joe Malone
and was given a m'inute's rest also.
St. 'Caluntiban tried hard but could
not score and soon Tu'ckersinfth.came
back with their 'Sixth goal; scored by
Gord Relthoi'ds. Tuckersmith won
by their team work and all their
1 goals were scored on passes. St. Col-
umilran put up a good fight and were
not as outclassed as the score might
indicate.
Egmbndville outscored Winthrop
in the sec'on'd game. It 'was a tussle
right to the last minute with 'Eg-
,m'on'dviile•'getting the breaks. There
were more ,penalties in this game due
to the determination of b'o'th teams to
win. There was no Score in the first
period although there were same dan-
gerous attempts on both goals. Pen-
alties were handed out to "Buzz"
Dale, Moody H'allan'ci and Wilson
Wright.
Art Nicholson scored the first
counter for Eginondville and came
back with another three minutes ta-
ter. Bullard was penalized for using
his body, Frank ,Case was given a
resit for getting his stick under some-
body's skate and 'Buzz" fDal,e for giv-
ing Neil Montgomery the boards. If
it hadn't been ,for ,Roy' M'e'Geoch
Winthrop wo'tnld have scored in this
perio'd. He turned away .some hard
shots' that would have fooled anyone
but an old timer at the game of net
minding. Bill Montgomery also
stopped some hard shots and was
only beaten '.on' combination efforts.
The third period opened up with
a bunching of players all trying to
get the puck, Moody 'holland' and
"Buzz" Dale were given penalties for
roughing it. ` 'Neil Montgomery was
sent to the box for hooking, leaving
only a few players on the ice. The
puck rushed from 'end to end like
lightnin'g but no goals were scored
until about ten minutes' of the period
was ;played, .whert"Buzz" Dale scored
on a pass from Rex -McGregor, Ferg
Bullard, came back with one for
Win throp, this being . their only
counter. This seemed to pep up the
boys and some hard playing' was seen
fora few minutes, If Old Man 'W'ea-
ther gives them a chance there ,will
be some more •fniteresting games.
