In this series the Macs exâ€" pect much stiffer competition than they have had with Hollinger. Urquhart, who has been playing this season for Dome, made his first apâ€" péarance with the Mac Miners playing at centre half. He was signed by the Macs about a week previous to the game on Tuesday. Urquhart has not played for several games but the Mac management expect he will capably fill the centre half position, which has been weak since the readjustment which shifted Mair to the half line. It was decided, at the beginning of the game, to cut the regulation 45â€"minâ€" ute periods down to 35. McIntyre scored all three goals in the first half of the game. In the latter half their halfâ€"hearted efforts, coupled with Lang‘s good work in goal, made the only goal scored ‘a Hollinger one. Coasting on their sevenâ€"goal lead acâ€" quired in the first game, McIntyre‘s soccer team on Tuesday night eliminâ€" ated Hollinger from Further Byrne Cup play.
