In 1920 Mrs. Goforth wrote and sent to the outer world an appeal for aid for. misisonary work which brought a worldwide response.

In the first game in 'tale double: ]reader in the Toaix Hockey League Tuesday: night the Tigers, by defeat- ing: Gurneys 2-1, held their place at the top o fthe League. They are on- ly one point aheail;,of the Outlaws and will have to step to hold it. The first game was a bang-up af- fair and it was anybody's game until near the end of the third period when Bok put the game 'on ice for the Jungle . crew. The Tigers got the jump in the first period when Smith banged one in for the only counter in this stanza. • The second period was a ding-dong affair with both teams trying hard and finally Griffin scored on a pass from Towne to tie it up. Going into the third period both teams played with determination, but it was not until the peroid was nearly over that Bok put the game on ice for the Tigers. Gurney's pressed hard for the . balance of the game and al- though the play was, kept in the Tig- ers area for several minutes, they just could net score.

The Outlaws played a much improved passing game, While the Mic-Macs depended mostly on indi- vidual rushes. - The first period went scoreless with both teams missing good chances to take the lead. The Outlaws came to life ie the second period with Scott scoring on a combination play with Carter, and Williamson followed a few minutes later with a solo effort that put the Outlaws two up. - The Mic-Macs, despite being clown two goals, started out in the third per- iod trying hard and missed several chances .
