DRILLERS '9VII,L SEEK
:OIL ON`.HULGETT
i011iNSH1F BOUNDARY
Drilling Rights Over Large
Area Are Leased by
Promoters.
EXPECT START SOON
Immediate steps are being taken to
seek oil in Huron, an. area on the
Hullett-Goderich boundary linea short
distance northwest of Clinton having
been leased by the promoters. As
early as 1866 drillers sought oil in
Huron and instead found salt, thus
laying the foundation of what at one
time, was the county's largest indus-
8ry.
A group of business men, said to be
headed by W. L. Forest, dredge opera-
tor, Goderich, has already leased 4,-
000
;000 acres in Hullett and Goderich
Townships and it is expected' drilling
'will start within a month on the farth
of Howard Trewartha, just north of
Clintop, on the Hullett-Goderich town-
ship„lioundary.
For weeks past two experts with ap-
paratus have been busy tracing the
"oil vein" across Huron County _to a
point -where it strikes the Blue Wa-
ter Highway between Goderioh and
Bayfield. The leases are said to be
for $1 per year' and one barrel of oil
in eight..as royalty.
'Some $15„000.• in private capital is
already said to have been put up. A
company charter is shortly to be tak-
en out,
Overa period of many years geo-
logists have visited Huron County and
reports ,ozi the pressure of oil depos-
its have always been favorable.

Duncan Cup Play
Offs Continue
(By Donald Scott)
The Rangers received' an unpleas-
ant surprise when the Beavers hand-
ed them a 2-0 defeat on Sat-
urday g.
mornin,•-in the first per-
iod there was, no score, but in the
second period the Beavers really went
to town by scoring two goals. T. Mc-
Iver and Harry Earle were the goal-
getters. Penalties were given to Mc-
Iver and Bannon:" The game was fast
and well played -
In the second game the mighty Red-
wings trimmed the Bruins 4-3. In the
first period both teen's countered
twice. Woods and Smith were the
snipers for the Redwings, while,.
Coutts and Dale countered: for the
Bruins. At the end of the second per-
iod the Bruins' had a one goal lead
after Doig scored, but igr the third
period the Redwings rallied and tal-
lied twice. Elliott and Woods ac-
counted for these goals. This was a
close game and it appeared all the
way through that it was anybody's
game.
In the third encounter the lowly
• lJanadiens sunk lower when the high-
flying Maroons shellacked them 6-1.
The Maroons outskated and outplayed
the Canadiens. In the first period
Powell and Habkirk scored. In the
second Phillips, MacLean and Case
metered. The Canadians' only goal was
made by Coutts in the third period.
„Lase countered for Maroon in the
third giso. This game wesvery clean
but to& one-sided for the Maroons.
The B;ackhawkspulled a big sur-
prise by 'defeating the mighty' Tigers.
' iO'Reilly drew the first blood for the
'Tigers, but however, Doig scored for
Blaokhawks to make it 1-1. In the
second period "Hank" Scott shot from
the blue line to put it past Messen-
ger to win the game for the Black -
hawks. Praiser, Barry and, De Caro
were the bad men of the -game.
Midget Hockey
The •Midgets continued their win-
ing streak when they defeated the
Cubs 6-4, giving them a 5 goal lead
on the round,. Goals were scored by
Doig (5) and Ryan (1) for the Mid-
gets, while Beaton (2) and Riley (2)
were the goal -getters for the Cubs.
There is one more game to play.

COACH'S JOB MOOTED
FOR i i. ` Y WEILAND
„Stratford TY riter Forsces
Futuro' For Boston"
Bruin's Captain.
A suggestion that a coaching job
awaits Cooney Weiland is adbanced
by Milt Donnell in:his column of com-
ment in the Stratford Beacon -Herald.
"The typewriter jockeys' who follow
the National Iseague hockey teams
are calling the veteran, Cooney Wei-
land, Seaforth's gift to pro hockey,
for a coaching berth after he finishes
whipping pucks .past rival goalies. In.
Montreal the other night, they noted
that Weiland was doing double duty.
After taking his turn on the ice, he
was helping .Art Rose handle the
Bruins' subs. Seaforth's Cooney is
one of thool�ee players who seems to
keep a constant lead over Father
Time. As a member of Boston's one-
time' mighty Dynamite Trio, he help-
ed make hockey history in the Hub.
He slipped and was sent down the
river to Detroit. The Beantown boss-
es must have regretted ,the deal, for
they brought -him back, at the price
of Marty Barry: With the'Red Wings
Barry became one of the big reasons
why Jack Adams was able to knock
off the Stanley Cup two years in suc-
cession. Weiland, back in the Hub,
seems to improve with the years. And
he must like responsibility. They made
-frim captain of the club this season.
After a slow start; Weiland did so
much gunning tbat some of the writ-
ers started to tab him fort the. All-
Star team. What he's done to the
Maple Leafs alone has been enough
to -earn his salary at Boston. Little
Corporal Conny Smythe would have
made 'a good investment if he had
paid Weilund, just to sit on the
bench."

Dublin and Kinburn Tie in
First of Series ; Winthrop
Has One Goal Lead Over
Egmondville. .
RETURN GAMES ON
SATURDAY NIGHT
Interest in the rural loop seems to
be keener than ever this year as the
best crowd of the season was on :hand
to witness the ,first game in the semi-
finals for the McMillan Trophy on
Tuesday evening. With, the teams as
evenly matched as they are, theme is
every indication of a bumper crowd
on Saturday evening when they meet
again. Winthrop was the only team
to gain an edge in the series when
they gave the Egmondville squad' a
2 to 1 defeat. In 'the second game
Kinburn forced the Dublin team into
a one all tie. Both games were ex-
citing with plenty of action every
minute, but very little rough stuff in
ev'dence.
The four teams, Winthrop, Egmond-
ville, leinburn and Dublin, are about
as evenly ,matoh.ed as the soores re-
veal and it's about a toss-up which
one will eventually win the honours:
With -one cup already ,to their credit,
Dublin will be trying to make it a
double victory and the rest of the
teams are out to say it can't be done,
so don't miss Saturday's games.
The final standing of the league left,
Kinburn and Egmondville tied for
third and fourth positions with seven
posits each. Art Nicholson won the
toss and elected to play their old riv-
als. Winthrop. At a meeting on Sat-
urday evening last, the play off dates
users arranged. The winners of the
semi-finals will meet in the first game
of the finals the following Saturday
night.
Winthrop 2, Egm$ndviile 1
Two veteran net minders, Roy 'Mun'
McGeoch and Bill Montgomery, were
instrumental in keeping the score
down in the first game on Tuesday
evening. Setting a fast clip at the
opening of the game, neither team let
it slacken for a moment. Egmond-
vine's first string line. of Gemmell,
Flanrery and McLean„ accounted for
the first tally, the, latter shooting the
goal. C. Rintoul was chased to the
pen and was followed by Bill Farqu-
harson shortly after, but nothing
Happened while they o. cre off. One
minute before the pe •'cd was over
'Buzz' Dale made a ,rice: length rush,
and drawing 'McGeoch out of the net,
tallied to tie the score at 1-1.
Half way through the second per-
iod Bill Farquharson took the puck
from a face-off near the Egmondville
goal and shot .home the winning goal
to put his team up in the driver's
seat. ' Mae Rintoul took a long shot
on the Winthrop net and there was
a, dispute as to whether it was a goal
or not., The referee, Cyril Flannery,
did not allow' it, but the goal umpire
was changed and play continued. Far-
quharson was chased for tripping and
then Andy Steiss, of the Winthrop
team, was given the gate and Win-
throp, played two men short, while
the Egmondville team pepperbd Mont-
gomery with shots from every angle,
but he held his ground and staved
them off.
The third period was scoreless but
it was no fault of either team that
several goals were not chalked up.
The ice was getting rather sticky due
to the mild weather and the going be-
came heavy. Jack Nicholson, defence
player for Egmondville, was badly
missed as it broke up their second
string forwards.
