In the first three minutes of the first; half, Water- loo by a repeated series of rapid rushes scored three goals. They followed these with a fourth game a little liter on, while Brampton, by a swift rush and some hot shots on goal, managed to evade goal-keeper Koehler and tally number one. Waterloo started the second half off witha rush, having a lead of three goals to play on. By dint of some pretty rushes, taken part) in by Sengram, Ethan and Hendry, they added four more to their score before time was called, while Brampton's efforts to pull up a. winning score were only rewarded with one more goal. "Hookey" Dixon's playing was away off color. On accounb of the sticky condition of the ice combination work was almost impossible, but Captain Ei. Seagram, Liffiton and Hendry all did good work and managed to get in effective hurricane rushes.

[‘he fact that there had been a. contin- uous drizzle of rain during the day seemed in no way to put a damper on the ardor of the local hockey enthusi- asts, although it tended to keep away a consxderable number from Elmira,St. Jacobs, Heidelbrrg and other outside points, who had signified their inten- tion of beirg present.

The latter is proving himself a verita- ble stone wall.
