Uxbridge scored the first tally of the game but the Wings came back very strong to overwhelm the home town club and go on to win in an easy manner. L. Yuill and McClos- key paced the winners with four apiece to boost their scoring aver- | ages. Uxbridge scored the first tally before the game was two minutes old Tipper being the marksman, They held the "Wings" at bay until shortly after the 12 minute mark when Williams rapped one past Monkman to tie the score. Lintner on a pass from Williams put the Whitby club out in front to stay. The second period saw Whitby turn on the steam and score no less than eight goals as against 1 by the home sextet, Uxbridge just couldn't stay with the Whitby fellows who skated past them as if they were at a standstill. McCloskey bagged three goals in this period of wild goal getting as did L. Yuill who got 3 in a row. Moore and Williams were the other Whitby snipers. Bradbury was the only goal getter for the home squad. Moore sat out the only penalty of this frame for tripping, there was no damage done while he was repenting his sins in the cooler. In the third and final frame it appeared as if the local crew were out to see if they could make it a dozen in which they succeeded. Lintner put the Wings out in front 11 to 2 on a neat backhand shot that caught the top corner and dropped in behind goalie Monkman who had very little chance of play- ing. The Uxbridge team seemed to be somewhat revived as they came back strong to score two more goals before. they could be held back in check by the local sextet who were fighting on steadily. McCloskey and L. Yuill added one goal each as the period ended to rack up a total of 13 goals with only four being rapped past McEwen, This was Whitby's 10th win In as many league games. They have also won three exhibition games row tonight with Port Perry.

There was a large crowd of spectators on hand : | and cheers rose from every corner 3) the Whitby cheer leaders gave boys plenty of support. The Whitby teams broke even on the games, the Seniors nipping the Ports, 14-11, while the Port Juniors 23-10. Both games were rough and many fouls were handed out as referee Dell kept things in check. The Senior game was the best of the evening as jt was nip-and-tuck all the way with Whitby finally coming out on top by a 14-11 mar- gin. From the opening whistle Whitby lads carried the play and Bracey sank three baskets to put the Seniors out in front, 6-0, by the end of the 1st quarter. Reva sed However, by half-time, the Port lads found their footing and Lane collected two baskets and Christie collected 3 points to put Port ahead, 7-6, at half-time. Toss-Up As the teams emerged in the sec- ond half it was a toss-up as to * | which team would come out victor the excellent accomplish- ments of the ploneers ag his sub- Sin Bugh, nd A ey the hostess, to which she graciously fH Mrs. J. A. Pugh visited in Toronto on Saturday with her daughter Irene. x Mrs, A. E. Fleming was a guest in Toronto on Saturday of Miss Josn Fleming and Miss Myrtle Gor- ious. Whitby led 13-9 at three- quarter time and the final score being 14-11. In this half the whole Whitby team worked very hard and de- served their win, Gaine collected a basket in this half and Bracey added another 3 points to his total. Richardson also made 3 points and it was his basket from the ten sec- ond line that gave Whitby their win. Christie and Lane again did all Ports' scoring. The entire Whitby team deserves credit but Bracey, Richardson and Gledhill sparked the others. For the Ports Christie and Lane werg always dangerous around the bas- ket, A total of twelve foul shots were awarded, six to each squad. Junior Game In the Junior classic the Whitby team tried hard but were outclass- ed by the Port squad, 23-10. The Port team played a tight sone de- fence and our lads couldn't get in close for shots which: hampered them a great deal, The game was rugged as Whit- by battled for possession of the ball every time they could and as a re- sult 10 fouls were called against Them. The Ports only received 4 By half-time Ports led 9-4 on bas- kets by Foster, Baird and Lee. Pur- dy got both the Whitby baskets, Play Dwindled In the second half, although it started very fast, play was falling away and Whitby especially seemed bo loaf about. In this half the Port Perry team showed plenty of fast breaking speed as Lee led the parade with 7 points and Foster next with six and Bell collected a foul shot, finishing off the scoring. McLeod, Purdy and McKay split Whitby's six points in the second half between them, Althoogh Port Perry definitely looked better than our Juniors it would not be a surprise to see our Juniors whip Ports when. they play | to on Whitby's floor. Foster, Lee and Baird gave Port Perry their win on some fine pass- ing plays. Purdy, Williams and Mc- Leod were spearheading the Whit- by attack. The Whitby Seniors are first in their group now and the way they are playing they should stay there and win thelr group honors. ---------- BLOOD-LETTING SIGN The fillet around the barber's pole signifies the ribbon which was wound around the arm before the barber bled the patient.
