In the past few seasons with

been declared. With the new set
up in the W.O.A.A., two teams

So as to give
more hockey, ithe other top four

These two winners will meet the A
and B winners, drawing for oppo
nents, in a second semi-final series
and the winners will then play for
the Cyclone trophey.

Feeling that the games were too
late in getting started last sea
son and lasting too late in the
evening, the representatives voted
■to start the first game at 7:30 and
the periods to last 22 minutes
straight time. In order to insure
early starting, the teams are to
deposit $10.00 with the convenor,
Benson Tuckey. and will forfeit
this if not ready to play at 7:30.
If any team has to forfeit this ten
dollars they must again deposit a
further $10.00 before they play
the next game.

The Exeter entry is this year be
ing handled by Reg. MacDonald and
Don Hughes. Reg, who was one of
the standout puckchasers with the
team last year but unable to play
this season, will manage the squad
while Don Hughes is coaching the
team. During Monday night’s pract
ice Wes Ryckman was tlie popular
choice to be this year’s captain
while Harold Shaw was appointed
assistant captain.
