He will be much missed in the home where he was always kind and thoughtful. Mrs. W. Winer, a sister survives. The funeral was conduct­ ed Monday by his pastor, Rev. A. Page who paid a warm tribute to his memory. The floral offerings were very beautiful.

Tempers flared up and several times it was close to a free- for-all. As a result of their vict­ ory Hensall is in first place, one point ahead of Crediton. The game opened at a terrific pace. Before Crediton could get settled down Hensall had notched three goals, J, Nicholson grabbed a loose puck from a scramble in front of his own net and stick-handl­ ed beautifully through the opposing team to open the scoring. H. Nicholson made it 2-0 cashing in on Rental’s pass. Hensall never slack­ ened and Hudson’s long drive beat Smith to give them a three goal lead. While J. Nicholson was serv­ ing a penalty Crediton turned on the power which brought success when Haist brothers combining in a nice play clicked for Crediton’s opening counter. Hensall went into the second frame with a two goal lead. Both teams kept up the dizzy .pace, Cred­ iton evening the count when Wally Fahrner scored twice. While H. Wolfe was off Hensail's power play back-fired when Fahrner broke up the play and with an accurate corn­ er shot hit the net just under the cross-bar. Fahrner notched the equalizer, getting the puck from a face-off near the Hensall net, The third period opened with close checking both teams being very cautious. Hensall broke the tie. Crediton tied it up again when Bayn- ham centered the puck to A. Haist. Brown^for Hensall, cinched the vic­ tory with two goals in quick succes­ sion.

The locals had a consider­ able edge on the play throughout but found Goetz in the opposing net their stumbling block on many oc­ casions. The forwards often broke through the defence only to be out­ guessed by the spectacular work of the goalie. Exeter’s defence show­ ed up well breaking up many of Dashwood’s attacks. Exeter made it 2-0 in the opening period although they had many more chances. Moise opened the scoring netting McDon­ ald’s rebound. Exeter extended their lead Creech riding in on Goetz with Beaver’s pass, picking a corn­ el* of the net. Moise, Lutman and McDonald staged tin attack but were outguessed by Goetz, In the second period Dashwood got their only goal of the game from a scramble in front of the net, A. Bossenlberry getting credit for the counter. Beavers swooped id oh Goetz only to be blocked by a sen* sational save. Lutman netted two in quick succession, the first unas* sisted when he skated right in on Goetz giving him no chance. Creech assisted in his second tally.
