It was a hum-dinger with both teams giving all they had, Mild weather last week made it impossible for either outfit to get a practice, i" with the result that when the play- ' ers went on to the ice, many of them were making their initial appearance of the season, However, conditions did not overly hinder the speed of the contest. 7 The first period was productive of 'a number of heavy rushes by both teams, with little compination ia evi- dence.

Last night there was quite a num- ber of members out and inter- club games featured. " Now that the skips and vice skips are elect- ed, schedules will be arranged and games will be on in full force within a week. The ice at the rink was quite soft last week, due to the mild weather, but the cold spell over the holiday tightened things up splendidly with the re- sult that the sheet is quite keen. PORT PERRY-WHITBY GAME POSTPONED Whitby, Jan. 4.--The Intermedi- ate O.H.A, game scheduled for this place last night between the local club and Port Perry had to be postponed yesterday due to the fact that the ice at the local rink disappeared over the mild spell and it was necessary for the ice makers to get down to business over the holiday on the formation of another sheet. However, it is expected that there will be a game here Friday night when the Sham- rock Juniors of Oshawa are sched- uled against Whitby. TORONTO BROKE TIE New Haven, Jan. 4--Staging a last-minute rally, Toronto broke a tie which had stood almost throughost the period of its hackey game with Yale here last might, and won, 4 to 3. The Canadians kept Yale on the defensive most of the time, ing Warner, the Eli goal guardian, to stop mearly twice.as many drives as Sayder, his Toronto colleague, was able to kick away. Stewarts ill-round game baffled the Yale see- ondary line, while Kilpatrick's de- fensive game halted the lightweight Eli attack. LINDSAY JUNIORS UP Lindsay, Jan. 2---Lindsay juniors were victorious over Peterboro in a fast game tonight at the local rink by 9-2. In every department of the game the wyictors were away ahead. Peterboro scored its second goal af- ter the timekeeper's bell had rung but before the referee's bell mas put mto action. Needless to say, this counts a lot in a ue where goals, not games. are considered. At the Regent "NEVADA" ZANE GREY STORY AT THE REGENT A gripping story of the western frontier written by a descendent of real frontiersmen--that's Zane Grey's latest, which has been picturized in stirring fashion by Paramount. It is scheduled to open at the Regent theatre tomorrow af- ternoon, where it will be shown each afternoon and evening for the bal- ance of the week, with the excep- tion of Friday matinee, which has been taken over by the General Motors of Canada for special film presentations. "Nevada" from all reports, the strength, heroism and romance of the Zane Grey standard and also contains many novel wists and dram- atic situations of which Director John Waters has taken full advantage, Followers of red-blooded western screen stories, which includes ninety nine per cent of all picturegoers, will be pleased to know that Gary Coop- | er, rangy young star, plays the here role. Cooper is the daring horseman, under contract to Paramount who has been gaining tremendous popularity in the last few months, Opposite him in the play is Thelma Todd, blonde heroine of exceptional beauty who js looked upon as one of the most promising young act- resses on the screen. The menace of the story is supplied largely by that admirable yillian, William Powel! The comedy element rests in the hands of Ernie S. Adams. Philip Strange, a capable young actor, has an important role. The story transpires in the South- west cattle country at the time when the citizenry was solidly rising up te put an end to the reign of terror spread by two-gun men and cattle rustlers. It is replete with fast rid- -| ing, quick gun play, moments of dramatic and broad humor. A splendid love story winds through the action. On the same program there will be a very laughable comedy {film en titled "What Every Ice-Man Knows" as well as an interesting scenic and mews recl Jack Watson and his Regent orchestra will round out the week end bill with a selected prograw of good music. ne rn NEW YEAR'S NIGHT MURDER IN BRITISH COLUMBIA TOWN Victoria, B.C., Jan 3~--~Word of a New Year's night murder iu Stewart, B.C., where William Ritch- ie was shot to death, and the arrest |! of his suspected slayer, Henry Riv- ard, has been received here.

RAVINAS IN HARD | LUCK LOSE3TO2 TO WINDSOR TEAM Toronto, an. 4--~Toronto Ravinas lost a heartbreaking hockey game to Windsor in a Capadian Professional League fixture at Ravina Rink last night by 3 to 2, The full sixty mingtes ended with the teams deadlocked, both having registered twice, but fifteen seconds after the overtime commenced, Belle- mer, who starred throughout, stick handled his way to Ravina's blue line and made a long pass to Palangic, whose bulletlike shot slipped through Faught's legs for the winning coun ter. The Toronto team, which has drop- ped its last three games, deserved a better fate. Time and again the Blue Shirts were right in on top of Reid, only to be outlucked or outguessed. In the last period the Border City's uct-minder stopped more shots (han the Toronto goal-keeper was called upon to save during the whole game, out Reid was equal to the taiz stop ping everything c¢xcept Corbeau's fluky counter, when the blond Ravina defense man teed-off from centre ice and the rolling puck came to rest be hind Reid, 21 NATIONS ENIER OLYMFIC GAMES St. Moritz, Switzerland, Jan. 4 --Twenty-one nations will com- pete in the second Olympic games winter sports, entries tor which closed Jan. 1, The nations to be represented are: Canada, England, !

WIN GAMES Toronto, Jan, 4.--It was a great night for the, paddlers at Arena Gardens last night. Parkdale Canoe Club and Toronto Canoe Club teams both emerged victorious. Parkdale handed University of To- ropto a trimming by 4 tao 2, while the Red Wing boys hroke Marlboros' winning streak and gave the Dukes their rirst ceating of the group season by a 5 to 4 count. The second game was ihe better of the two, The first was a list- less affair, Parkdale getting a lead in the first period that the stu- dents could not overhaul. The con- test was featured with some heavy hody-checking on the part of both teams, and the rough work marred to some extent the attempts of both to settlel down and play good hockey. | Skat'ng Ton'ght U. S. HOCKEY TEAM NOT LIKELY TO ENTER OLYMPICS Pittsburg, Jan. 4 --The United Sta- tes, in all probability, will not be re- presented by a hockey team in the Olympic competition this year. William S. Haddock of Pittsburg, Chairman of the AAU. Hockey Commission, said last night that he had about abandoned hope of get- ting a team together to represent this country in the puck-chasing Olympic games. Haddock said he had but one hope --Eveleth, Minn. He added that he had wired hockey enthusiasts at Eve- leth asking if they could get a team together, and to date had received no reply. Haddock met many setbacks in his efforts to get a club. He scoured the country for eligible players, and some teams, after accepting, later recalled their acceptance, saying it would not be possible for the players to make the trip. He negotiated with clubs in Boston, New York and some Western cities, without success, and he says that the reply from Eveleth would decide whether the United States would he represented in the Olympic hockey competition.
