HELENS The Indians took the scalp of the Goderich Sailors to the tune of 8-2 Tuesday evening at the Arena. At no time during the play did the Sailors have a chance and only the high class work of Doak in goal stopped the Ind­ ians from piling them in. Goderich, when they have more practice, will be a- dangerous outfit, but this does not take any of the credit away from the Indians for their splendid win. Three of the local club were cut. Near the end of the first period Fro­ manger received a gash on the eye which took two stitches to close. Dan Procter was clipped on the forehead by O.wens, in the third, and had to re­ tire for repairs. Some sewing was ne­ cessary to close this wound. Foster was cut on the head in the third per­ iod also but finished the game. The game did not get under way until 9.00 as no referee showed up. Ken Somers stepped into the breach and did a good job. Late games seem to be a habit here. Doak in goal was the saving grace for the Goderich team in the first per­ iod. He stopped them from all angles. Procter bagged two goals in this canto —one on a pass from Nichol and the other from brother Dan, The forwards are developing nice passing plays and neighbors, j the club should do well. O'Brien got the only Goderich goal of the period. He shot from inside the blue line, the puck caromed off English into the net. The Sailors were scoreless the sec­ ond period but the Indians sunk three behind Doak. Cy. Procter in less than five minutes made two lovely passes on which Foster and English scored. George Johnson as the period ended made a nice play to beat Doak from behind the net. With the third period half way over Young scored for Goderich. The Ind­ ians missed plenty and had plenty stopped by Doak for nearly three- quarters of the period but in the final five minutes scored three beautiful goals. Cy. Procter got two, one from Fromanger, and Nichol got the other. The fans are in for some high class hockey when the Indians get more practice. The game was fairly stren­ uous, 14 penalties being handed out by Referee Somers. Goderich: Goal, Doak; defense, Mc­ Kay, Young; centre, S. Doak; wings, Scrimegeottr, Patterson; alternates, Owens.
