London play- ers were heavier and showed more experience around the nets, and were given to taking advantage of the breaks, scoring 3 goals in the first period. From there on however, the play was much closer, :each team scoring- one coringone goal in the second period; Mur- ray 'Rae, on a pass from Jack Brack- enbui•y, doing the honors for the lo- cal team. The third period was score- less. The brand of hockey was the best shown here this year and the fans who missed the game have reason for regret, London had much the best of the first period but after that the local lads got down to business and did everything but put the rubber in the twine. The Junior forward line of Rae, 13rackenbury and Fox inject- ed plenty of pep into the game and held their own aiainst the older and more seasoned players from London. The other forward line of McDonald, Brown, Gurney, worked hard while on the ice but could not register. The defense played a good steady game giving Brown, in goal, excel- lent coverage. With more practice theseboys could give an even better showing, but lack of practice has to be laid at Old Man Weather's door. Ed. Nash, who was goal . umpire, was hit above the right eye and three stitches were necessary to close the wound. As the game drew to a- close, How- ard, ,the London goalie, was hit by the puck, but continued after a brief rest: Ken, Somers collided with a London player just after, and had to be helped off the ice. . The Band was in attendance, and rendered several numbers.
