wea _ guardians cannot be passed ' Haileybury Wins In Best Game of Season Kirkland Lake Go Down to Their Second Straight Defeat Here Last Night Haileybury, 3; Kirkland, 1. And those who missed it are -sorry, because it was the best ex- hibition of hockey which has been given in this town for many long _years. Not because Haileybury happened to win it, but--well ask the man who watched it. After a scoreless first period, which was lightning fast from _gong to gong, and ten minutes of the second frame passed, which was just as speedy, Bill Regan -and Sonny Townsley, of the clan from Kirkland, broke the hearts -of a majority of the fans and fan- nies when they combined to net the lone goal of the session. Then came the blazing third 'period, with Haileybury pouring volley after volley toward the marvellous Ames, and finally get- ting the disc by him to tie it up, sand the crowd went wild. It took eight minutes to do it, and the goal was all that was needed to make the locals swarm like whirlwinds down the ice, fairly smothering the Miners, and three minutes later Bill Bagshaw net- ted another. And pandemonium reigned. Four minutes later the 'crowd was given another oppor- tunity to howl when Nothcott took McKnight's pass and notch- ed the final tally of the encounter. Each succeeding hockey, game here this winter has been better than the last, and last night's had the fans enthused to the highest pitch. It was a treat to watch, and the fact that the home team won added just the necessary touch which made it perfect. From goal out there was nota weak man on either team, and to pick stars would possibly be un- fair. but the work: of the two net u without a few kindly words, is put it mildly. An unbiased spec- tator in the press box kept tally of the shots fired at the guardians of the twine, and his figures show Ames stopping forty-six dead-on drives, while three went in, and Sutherland handling fifty-one in clean style, and fanning on one. To sum.up the game:in a few words, is some task, as there were. plenty of hing to write about, from bell to bell in each session. Kirkland had a slight edge in the first frame, but were held out by the magnificent defence work of Bagshaw and Tupling, with able assistance in the cage by Suther- land. The visitors were held in check well for the first half of the second frame, too, and were out- footed and out-played in the last twenty minutes. ; The first Haileybury tally in the third period was a soft one. Northcott raced down centre and swerved to the left as he reached the defence. While trying to stickhandle around Gagnon, the puck got away from him and slid slowly toward the goalie. As it neared him he prepared to shove it aside, but did not get his stick down to the ice, and the rubber trickled through his feet and nes- tled at the back of the goal. It was a gift. Bagshaw's goal was no soft one, though, Billy slap- ping one past Ames a mile a min- ute from a few feet out. The final ially was the rseult of a beautifully executed play on the part of McKnight and Northcott, the latter netting the disc on Har- ry's perfect pass. The game was handled to per- fection by Ken Buchan, of Kapus- kasing. The players recognize in Buchan an experienced official, and attend to hockey all the time, with the result that the specta- tors get what they came to witness. Five penalties were handed out, and the home crew received four of them. Jimmy Pritchard, returning to the game for the Haileybury team, after being in the woods all summer, drew down the first penalty on a trip, accidental. Stan. Lemon, now a Kirklander, drew the sec- ond for the same offence. Then Hylands drew one and before he returned to play was joined by Tupling. Tup/ also drew a minor penalty in the third period. Lack of space prevents a more detailed account of the game, and press time drawing nigh prohibits 'giving vent to further eulogies of the plays and players. The teams: Haileybury--Sutherland, goal; Tupling and Bagshaw, defence; Northcott, centre; McKnight and Carmody, wings; Hylands, Mc- Fee ard Pritchard, alternates. " Kirkland Lake -- Ames, goal;, Gagnon and Regan, defence; Townsley, centre; Forbes and Woods, wings; S. Lemon, Brad- ley and R. Lemon, alternates.

On the form dis- played last night, the Haileybury crew will give the Eskies lots of worry. ee Dropped the Opener In Junior Group Cobalt is Too Fast) for Locals When Teams Open Season at Silver Town In the opening Central Group Junior N.O.H.A. game Monday evening in Cobalt, the home crew defeated Haileybury, 3-1, before a large New Year's Eve crowd. Cobalt scored two 'counters in the initial twenty minutes, the first by Carl Hutt, who grabbed the rebound from Max Bennett's shot to beat Fitzsimmons three minutes after the opening bell. Roy Bennett got Watts' rebound half-way through the period for the second tally. No further scoring resulted in the last half of the canto, although Hailey- bury missed several good chances when right inside. Watts was badly winded by a stiff bodycheck from Jack Hennessy, who bounc- ed everyone who tried to come in on his side of the defence. Jack also drew the only penalty of the session. Cobalt added their final tally midway in the second stanza, R. Bennett getting Cuth. Dixon's re- bound and shoving it around the prostrate Haileybury goalie. The Cobalters drew four penalties in this period, two of them for body- ing in the mid-ice area. Cobalt had a tough time holding Hailey- bury cut during the time they were short-handed, and only lack of finish near the nets kept the visitors off the score sheet. L--Right-from the-face-off in the final spasm, Cooper, Haileybury centre was in on top of the Co- balt goalie and missed the net. Shortly afterwards Jack Hennes- sy tore in and let go a drive that stagegred Smith, and Martin O'Grady pounced on the rebound but the Cobalt cage-tender made a wonderful save. The Miners then pressed for a time and had some bad luck in their shooting. Finally ,after thirteen minutes of play, Adamson notched Hailey- bury's counter on a pass from Cooper. This gave the County Seaters new vim, and they storm- ed the Cobalt citadel in droves, but could not beat Smith, and at the final gong, eighteen weary young athletes trooped off the ice after a real tidy and strenu- ous battle. . e For the winners, the two Ben- nett boys, Hutt, Watts and Smith were best. Cuthbert Dixon also played a good game at centre. The alternates, W. Dixon, Maher and Kostiuk were not up to the mark set by the regulars. The winners showed nice combination considering the amount, of prac- tice they have had. Cooper was probably the best man on the ice, and he received goéd support from Adamson, O'Grady and Fitzsimmons. while Godin, McGinley and _ Boisson- nault also played well. Larouche was strong on his skates, but refused to pass the puck to his mates at any time. With regular practices and a few more games under their belts, the youngsters will delight the fans who like the Junior brand of game, as they always give their best. Haileybury returns to Cobalt for another struggle on Friday evening, and the Cobalters play here next Monday night. Fred "Tuffy" Austin handled the game well_on Monday even- ing, keeping the rules enforced impartially, and keeping the lads playing hockey. The line-ups: Cobalt--Smith, goal, Watts and Hutt, defence; C. Dixon, centre; Max Bennett and Roy Bennett, wings; W. Dixon, Kostiuk, and Maher, alternates. Haileybury--Fitzsimmons, goal Adamson and Hennessy, defence; Cooper, centre; S. Godin and O'Grady, wings; McGinley, Bois- sonnault, Larouche, alternates; 'Villeneuve, siib-goal. : lwas good. Fell, all elbows Turned Their Guns on Old Mentor Saturday ---> -- Coach Jamieson's Champions of Last Season Not Easy on His Present Team "Jimmy" Jamieson's last year's hockey team, the South Porcu- pine champions, turned their guns on their old mentor last Saturday evening, and, under the guidance of Stan. Burgoyne and inspira- tion of Lou Hudson, defeated the Haileybury sextette, after sixty thrilling minutes, 6 to 5. It was a real hard, close-check- ing battle all the way and any- body's game to the final bell, and was thoroughly enjoyed by a big crowd. i Haileybury had an edge in the play in the first period, which ended l-all. The Porkys held scoring honors in the second, which ended 3-2 in their favor, and at one time in the third they had the score 6-3, but the home- sters' spurt in the final stages brouglit it to 6-5, and the visitors were greatly relieved when the final gong sounded, as the locals had them on the run. The home crew were without the services of théir regular net- minder, Freddie Clark, who -- has an injured foot, and Earl Suther- land, of last \year's squad, was taken from a sick-bed to don thé pads. "Tub" also had the mis- fortune to have a gash opened over his right eye in practice prior to the game, and was_al- ready sporting a cut over his left eye, sustained earlier in the week, all of which did not help any. He allowed a couple of long ones to drift through for tallies, shots which are usually "pie" for him, but his team-mates have no complaints to make and are more determined than ever to prove their class in future tilts. The game started with a rush, with both teams feeling each other out, and the goalies were being tested with long shots. Seventeen minutes went by with- out.a score, and then Eddie Car- mody bulged the twine behind Baxter from close in. A minute later Jemmett sneaked one pagt Sutherland from close range. In the second frame, Jemme, again 'scored in four minuteJ, wher he shoved goalie and pvi into the net. He and Gordie Spence combined to get the next eight minutes later from close ity Just a minute before the rest per: iod "Baldy" Northcott sailed in alone and beat Baxter. ' The third period had barely started when Mill, Porcupine de- fence man, snapped one from the blue line which Sutherland never glimpsed until it was back in the fish-cord. As the result of a Carmody-Tupling rush, the elus- ive Eddie circled the net and scored the neatest goal of the night, six minutes later. Half- way through the stanza, Proulx, Porcupine sub right winger, got in for a shot, and Bill Gagnon grabbed the rebound. A minute later, Proulx hoisted a long one from the blue line and it nestled in a corner of the net. Harry McKnight counted a minute later on a speedy drive from just in- side the colored strip. Hailey- bury was now playing a five-man up game and Porcupine hoisted the disc to the other end as often as. they could. Carmody and Northcott combined, with the former taking' the final pass and notching with only a minute or, so to go. Jemmett, Gagnon and Spence, with Dr. Lou Hudson, were best for the visitors, with Mill playing a strong 'defensive game. Proulx was also prominent while on. Hudson's presence was an inspir- ation for the other South Enders and he used his knowledge of de- laying tactics to good effect. He did not take any chances on try- ing conclusions with the local de- fence pair. Baxter, in the nets, and knees, on the defence, got away with quite a bit of sly stuff, but did not shine on the offensive. Cook worked tirelessly while on. Jemmett's sweep-check worked wonderfully and he teamed 'up well with Spence and Gagnon. For the locals, Northcott and Carmody were best on the night's play. Harry McKnight and Pap Hylands are coming along, get- ting better every game, and are due to break the hearts of a few goalies before the season is much older. Bagshaw's rushes were timely, but he spoiled' his effect- iveness by drawing down two penalties for slashing, and the op- position got goals as a result. Fred Austin, making his first appearance in a game this season FRANK FREDERICKSON Former star of the Winnipeg Falcons, and later with the Bos- ton Bruins in the N.H.L., who is now playing centre for the Pitts- burg Pirates subbed acceptably both on the de- fence and. front line. McFee flashed nice hockey at times, but needed frequent relief. Tupling rushed and blocked well, but was inclined to play to the gallery a bit, and his penalty for kicking the puck after losing his stick in| centre ice resulted in a goal for the South Enders. Fred. "Speck" Baillie, handled the game and was boss at all stages. He missed some things, but they all do. Seven penalties were dealt out, and Haileybury drew five of them, which just a- bout tells the story. The teams: South Porcupine--Baxter, goal Fell and Mill, defence; Jemmett, centre; Lou Hudson and Spence, wings; Proulx, Gagnon, Cook, alternates; Lawn, sub-goal. Haileybury--Sutherland, goal; Bagshaw and Tupling, defence; Northcott, centre; McFee and Carmody, wings; Hylands, Aus- tin'and McKnight, alternates; F. Clark, sub-goal. Iroquois Falls put on a last per- iod rally to count a pair of goals and defeat South Porcupine, 2-1, right in Porcupine last night. It was at first reported that the South Enders had won, 1-0, but final messages give the battle to the Falls.
