game last Fri day was not the highest class hockey youll see and both teams made plenty of mistakes but we cant recall ever seeing one like it in these parts A new record for Aurora arena was established when five goals were sent past Howie in the Aurora nets in a mere matter of sec onds It was While master Walt Fines Aurora fenceman who played a master ful game on defence was in the for a somewhat cheap penalty meted out by referee Leon Smith Aurora of course via Bobs Cook and Grant Winters put two in the net but try as they would they couldnt get the puck out past the blueline and Noel Ash and Bruce Wallace made no mis takes in close The fans were certainly there was more centre ice play than in any game weve seen in a few moons The relereeing wasnt as good as can do but ton plays a rugged brand of hockey and certainly the type of hockey was better to watch than that against and Bol ton It certainly steamed up the fans which makes for a rousing contest and increased gates No one can ever question the fact that Mr Smith knows the rules and is totally impartial Could be we are wrong but we thought he started to blow on some of the plays that deserved a penalty but was too slow and then blew for infractions which while in the book were less noticeable Both players and officials have their bad days and in the east ern junior circuit is well liked and for that matter in the Big Five Incidental items Paul is back in Lindsay and the regu lar for Red Mitchell Seems strange to think the Bears could have kept him here and didnt The misunderstanding might well have been

dis play and worst of all some of the lads were laughing about it all It was Andy playing a great defensive game but as yet unable to himself who pulled the team out of the dol drums as with two men short Aurora scored Andy didnt get the goal but he set up the play and did some swell and That made it and Aurora added a couple more but at the end of the sec ond stanza score looked mighty good for The fans were still bit mif fed bill shaking their heads as they thought of those two gift goals but somewhat satisfied that the team would a a good showing The roof fell in on who played short three players as they nonchalantly watched the Bears draw close and then wilted under a sus tained power drive Bobs Cook got the nicest goal of the night on a breakaway Seven in one period made it 11 at the end and it might have been more Johnny a nice game in the nets for and couldnt be blamed for the loss If Aurora had kept Woods and Noel Ash last season when they had them they would have won the D championship The addition of this trio would be helpful now the club has been rated as junior The Au rora won is no indication the team is by rating Char- He has to have one or two more players if hes

Martin might go to bet ter advantage at centre Don is not backchecking and will have to pull up the slack offensively as well Bob while willing and improv ing Is too slow to leave on de fence when the club is short- handed Elmo Phillips still has that bad habit of ploying the puck too lightly and finding it on the opponents stick He needs to fire from further out so the wings can get in in place of passing just at the The whole team still wastes time going back in their own ter ritory especially carrying around behind the net In answer to what youre thinking never laid an egg but we can tell a

anything else of season The golfer who would rather add than subtract a stroke from his score in case of doubt The good losers The sportsmen These come in all divisions of sport amateur and pro fessional in all games And one of the finest displays of courage and sporting spirit was given two years ago by Bill rated by many the greatest netminder of all time when just after he had completed his sixth Vezina Trophy victory in seven seasons he stepped aside in the midst of the Stanley Cup series to be replaced by a comparative rookie because he convinced his continued stay in the nets was unfair to his own club Never before have we known in a long association with hockey of a topranking player rated the worlds best in his position suddenly deciding that he wasnt good enough to carry on feeling that some greatness some reflex has suddenly failed him and voluntarily stepping down to hand over the job to a comparative neophyte Its an epic of fine sporting spirit of team loyalty And someone of more gifted pen who can analyse and describe such mental torments and conflicts could find here the matrml for a compelling story of conflicting emotions of the hours of troubled thought Durnan must have given to his own problem a problem he had to solve himself with no outside help Because to a man at the top of his pro fession a man with Intense of era it represents tremendous athletic and moral sacrifice that suddenly he most say to the world I think Im through I rant carry on I want a younger man to take my place told coach Dick Im not playing up to the mark Dick My vision hasnt been really good since that accident in Chicago Something has happened to my reflexes to my nerves It isnt fair to the boys that I should carry on Weve losl three straight and I dont feel that my nerves are capable of going in there for a fourth game I was amazed He told to sleep on it think it over But the next morning as the players went out for a light skate prior to the game that night didnt attempt to dress So sat down told young Gerry McNeil exactly what had happened McNeil listened nodded started to dress Then he stopped No he said I cant do this Bill is loo fine a guy to have anyone push him out right in the Cup series I wont do II Hut rose to this problem too team loyally he sold his own job to McNeil settled his own problem What problem someone might enquire That
