Lloyd In the fastest junior hockey game to be seen here in many a moon, the Dunnville Mudkittens de- feated Grimsby Junior Indepen- dents, last Friday night by a 2 to 1 score. Plenty of excitement and >thrills packed this gaine and the (win for Dunnville put that team in ls, league leadership by one point. hs, Mudkittens are a far heavier team than the Grimsby boys, and the result was plenty of bumping all around. In the opening frame Dyck scored on a pass from Mason, at 1:30. The second period wal, only 30 seconds old when Jacobs netted the puck to tie the count. At 7rtty in the third, Jacob again scored on a pass from Fry for the winning goal of the game. Eight penalties were handed out, with Dunnville serving six of these. Fry and Hilts drew majors for mixingl it up in the second canto. V hludkittens, Defeat Indepen- dents by Close Score of 2 to, 1 -...- Plenty of Fast Hockey. Dunnville Take Second Game That a strong team can be represented is the fact that four local boys who tried out with the Junior "Independents" will be available, including Normie Warner, Guy Winters, Reg Ferris and Guy Bernardo. Johnny Farrell will likely get the goal assignment, and several other likely prospects will try out for positions on the team. t Certainly the Lions Club have received many favorable comments for their initiative this winter in sponsoring hoe- key for the boys of the town and district. _ While three weeks, remain to complete the midget schedules, it has been decided to pick a team of juveniles to begin Elle play-off series which starts on February 10th. Referee-Roy Farrell, Grimsby, When the Grimsby Lions Club sponsored the midget and juvenile hockey league, the intention was to enter a team in the O.J.H.A. playdowns at the end of the season.

The front line of Dyck, Smith and Reid is going places these days and sure put up a smooth brand of Junior hockey. The second line of Miller, Blanchard and Taylor is a1- BO accounting for plenty of action, while the addition of Juhlke on the rear guard has meant a tower of strength to the defense. Be on hand Friday night to help cheer the local kids into first place in group 12. Hagersville juniors will be the Independent opponents on Friday night at the local arena. This will :be the fourth and last time that :these two teams meet in the regu lar schedule. In the first game at Hagersvillc the. "Indes" pulled cm 1a 4 to 3 win and then took the Hagersville lads into camp by 9 to 1 at Grimsby. The third game, played at Hagersville was also a win for Grimsby by a 2 to 1 count. The Hagersville boys-are a real heavy aggregation and do some pretty nifty body checking, so even if the "Indes" have taken this team three times, it does y not say that the game on Friday night is "in the bag".
