SPITFIRES TRIM
LUCKNOW SEPOYS
Continuing their winning ways the
Stainton Spitfires downed the Luck-
now Sepoys here Saturday night 8-5.
The game was a typical Lucknow-
Wingham affair, plenty of close check-.
ing, considerable heavy body check-
ing and the usual banter from the fol-
lowers of both teams. Without the ser-
vices of Goalie Ritchie, the Sepoys
with England in the nets put up a
good show and held their own until
the third period, when the Spitfires
rammed home three goals to take a
decided edge in the play. The' Spit-
fires were minus the services of John-
ny Crewson and McDonald in Satur-
day night's fixture.
Lucknow took an early lead in the
game when Vaughan on a solo effort
scored at the 4.10 mark and a minute
later made it 2-0, when MacLelland
on a pass front Hall again bulged the
twine. Down two the Spitfires pressed
