There was much joy in the local way.'' Many things concerning .the
camp of hockey players Monday night
when the Exeter team trimmed the
li.ns,t11 septette in the first of the
bonne and home series by n score of
5 to :l. The dlensall players were
tate in arriving and it was nearly
nine o'clock when the game got star-
ted. Exeter started on the offensive
and in a few minutes scored their
firs: goal. At half time the score
stool three to one in favor of Exeter.
although the Henault referee claimed
only two for Exeter. wishing to dis-
allow it goal that h:tdibeen announced
by the goal umpire. in the second
half each side scored two goals by
some excellent playing. The game
was not as rough as was anticipated,
there being considerable rivalry be-
tween the two teams. owing perhaps
to the fact that this is the first sea-
son in years that Exeter has been
able to put a team on the ice that
can trim the puck chasers from the
northern village. Referee W. J.
Perkins kept the players tvell in
hand and only on one occasion was
he compelled to send one of them to
the side lines. Following was the line
up of the two teams. Ilensnll. Goal,
