the Brucefield forward line, overcome
with a -fierce outburst of speed, again
took the Klippen goal by surprise and
scored twice on him. The last score
was an excellent lone rush by the able

HOCKEY NOTES.
Though the Collegiate Wossa 'team
met decfat at the ii'ands of London
Central, sextet they are to be highly
com'pl'imented on the form they 'have
shown this season. They have Gude
ricl, Clinton and Stratford strung' in
their belt. Much credit is due to
their coach, Mr. R. N. Bissonnette,
for the splendid 'management of the
best hockey team the Collegiate has
had in years. A noteworthy fact of
this year's •olWssa hockey is the re-
quirement of good standing in term
exams by each.R'layer. This team has
taken shape as a result of the last two
years of .Duncan Cup hockey reward-
ing the efforts, money and time of
'
the gentlemen generous enough to
organize and back it.

between 4 and :6 o'clock '1'B defeated

The London 'Central C. I. dropped
a well-balanced team over the boards
here last Thursday evening before a
very large crowd. The forward line
travelled at top - speed throughout,
netting three in the opener, four in
the second, and one in the third per-
iod. The first period opened with
the London tea'nt completely outplay-
ing the locals, the Seaforth 'defense
being helpless against their brilliant
combination. The second period was
almost a repetition of the first, but
for the London goal umpire 'handing
his own team a goal, making The
score 7-0.
The locals, however, mune to life
in the third period, and outplayed the
London boys, Muir driving the puck
behind (Edwards twice, while the
London team 'made' it, 8-2,
The work of Wong and 'Grainger
stood out throughout the game, and
as 'a whole, the London team showed
the result of good coaching and
generalship. Muir was at his best
for Seaforth and 'deserved greater
results, but the persistent poke -check-
ing of the London team broke up any
semblance of combination by the
local team. Line-up:

Referee :Dot Reid, Seaforth,
The Free Press .has the following
account of Monday's game at 'Lon-
don. London Central Collegiate -de-
feated Seaforth C. I. by the score of
2 to 0 at the London arena Monday
afternoon, consequently winning the
senior 'Wossa second round hockey
series by the count of 10 to 2.
The Londoners, after scoring two
goals in the opening period, fell, back
and played a defensive game for sh
remaining two stanzas. Seaforth
forwards seldom broke - through the
London defense. The visitors tried
long shots, but failed to beat Goalie
Erie Edwards.
Victor Wong scored Central's first
goal after a fewminutes of play and
Sammy Grainger scored a few min-
utes later on a pass 'from Gene O'-
Donnell. Central ,displayed a super -
tor brand of teamwork and threaten-
ed to
hreaten-ed-!to score several times, but it was
the stellar work of .Brownlee in the
rets for Seaforth that saved his club.
