stand ab bowen is technically not eligible to be playing with the shipbuilders bowen hooked up with them at the beginning of the season and has been a big help to them it is already rumored the oha bosses are taking a dim view of the collingwood teams signing of bowen buck forslund has returned to owen sound to play for the mer- curys the 23yearold left winger stirred up a bristling hockey feud between owen sound and sarnia this winter when he joined the camp of the sarnia sailors instead of reporting to the mercurys as the controversy grew more heated the case was referred to the ontario hockey association execu tive who ruled forslund the pro perty of the owen sound club he was suspended from further hockey action in sarnia following his suspension forslund vowed he would stay out of hockey rather than return to owen sound how ever after liberating a couple of weeks forslund decided to return to owen sound and the mercurys forslund went to owen sound to play hockey two years ago

fifteen scheduled games they were the highest scoring line in the league stouffville and markham are expected to draw another bumper crowd at the local arena when they clash for the second scheduled meeting this saturday night the game is a very important one with first place at stake the clippers dunked the millionaires in their first meeting and if they can do so again will increase their first

newmarket for the first time collingwood alliston and midland continue to be mired in the league cellar with little hope of pulling out newmarket despite their injury list have been doing well and are right on the heels of the league leaders fiery wire conversation threatens revenge tn owen sounders defeat does not rest lightly on the shoulders of lloyd kewley fiery manager of the alliston royals thats the impression one gained listening in on the owen sound end of a telephone conver sation between the owen sound mercurys manager charlie black- well and claude kewley who was unable to make the trip to owen sound last week the conversation took place fol lowing a 193 drubbing the mer curys administered the royals in a scheduled big seven senior hockey game there kewley fairly melted the wires as he swors hed send a team to owen sound who would smear the mercurys all over the ice going farther kewley promised black- well hed give him a personal goingover the original phone call to the alliston manager was made by netminder vern buffey who told the royals boss the score of the game and also announced he was leaving the club the humiliation is just too great i quit the 20- yearold goalie stated bluntly this another with the fact that there already was some dissension in the oiub seemed to be too much for the alliston chief who asked to speak to blackwell and then pro ceeded to blow his top completely bill bradburys injury is slowly on the mend and recent xrays show that satisfactory recovery is being made which should allow bill to get back into action early in the new year alliston only had eight men dressed for their game the other night with owen sound and in addition their coach joe cleary played in goal in place of buffy who quit the club at least tempor arily following a 193 snillacking in owen sound however despite the shortage in manpower the best the sounders could do was come out with a g3 win unionville curling club reorganized for another season on

growing thing in the community clippers outshot hand 3 to 1 to dump flyers 71 in the first game played at mid land on thursday night the clip pers completely overpowered their lighter rivals and only for the great work of gagnon in the flyers net the locals might have doubled the score in the cmesided contest the hardworking net- minder had to handle 49 shots while rhodes had a comparatively easy time with only 16 stops to his credit with bradbury and minton out with injuries and clarke fail ing to make the trip coach bangay had to fall back to two attacking forward lines which proved all the strength necessary for the easy win only for a last minute goal in the third period spoiled the shut out chances for rhodes as the puck slid in during a wild scramble around the net sayliss was the only two goal man for the clippers with the other tallies being divid ed between couch lewis stark bangay and hopper in the first period the flyers started out fast and looked as if they might give the local boys a real battle but they could not keep ui to the faster skating homesters and within a matter of minutes the play began to swing into the flyers and with gagnon putting on a great display before letting the first goal slip through on the first tally couch and hopper set lewis up for a perfect three way goal the flyers held on until mid way through the period when say liss went in to score the first of his two goals on passes from stark i and hochberg at 1507 bangay i picked up a loose puck in front of the midland goal and promptly fired it home for goal number three couch and lewis were credited with assists on the play only a little more than a minute had passed in the second period when hopper set sayliss up for his second marker and the speedy winger fired goal number five unassisted to end the period in the second twenty minutes gagnon had twenty saves to make while rhodes was called to the rescue on only five occasions in the final period the clippers

her first time at a hockey game the court noted that pro hockey no longer is played in washington and that the attempt at its estab lishment was unsuccessful and shortlived it was not shown to have achieved like baseball either a local or a nationwide acceptance the court said under such cir cumstances we believe that it is a jury question whether the dan gers inherent in sitting in an
