One of his appearances once started a riot, and before it was quelled both his arms were put out of commission, one by a knife stab, the other by a bullet. While he has not yet displayed all of the endurance qualities of Ed "Strangler‘"‘ Lewis, the Ageless Iron man of Wrestling, this redman from North Carolina has shown that he can "take it" as well as "dish it out."

Group Final Second Opens Fast A few minutes into the second period, the prettiest show of combination: of the evening was given by Budzak and Delmonte. Budzak carried the puck to th> ‘blue line and passed to the unâ€" guarded Delmonte who skated well in before shooting into the corner of the net. Richer and Lake nearly pulled a fast one ‘"a little later when Richer stepped out of the penalty box wher: be had been sent for tripping and Gignac again was the scorer for the Falls when he made it look easy by goâ€" ing in alone. Therriault was the first on the honours list for Timmins when he was a party to a ganging act half a minute after the Falls‘® second tally. Gauthisr worked the puck in close to the Falls net a few minutes later but couldn‘t beat Sandrin. After Gauthier‘s attempt there was a penalty faceâ€"off just in front of the crease and nine players made a grand pile as Timmins tried to poke the puck over the line. Delmonte made some nice triss before the period ended. secre in Ten seconds Timmins‘ smartest play of the evenâ€" ing came at the beginning of the third period when in the first ten seconds Therriault and Budzak combined to put the home team one in the lead. They apparently came out on the ice with the idea of getting a goal from the faceâ€" off and holding that lead through the twenty minutes of play. They very nearly succeeded in doing so and had they not been a little more tired at the end of the game than the Falls boys, the ending might have been different. Timmins looked like the better team in the first few minutes of play but when the visitors got the feel of the rink they turned the tables. Budzak and Sarmigcnto made the first real atâ€" tempt at scoring for Timmins and Abâ€" ramson was the pick of the FPalls team at the opening. Just after Richer went to the box for tripping, Gignac went through the weakened Timmins ttam and scored the first goal. Timmins had a chance to even it up when Murtagh took a rest for tripping Budzak but couldn‘t get organized in time. A good crowd turned out to s:te the last Timmins team in playâ€"off compeâ€" tition forced out and they saw a brand of hockey, too. The Falls had the better team in that the talent was more evenly distributed. Neither team played particularly close combination but when they did, it usually turned out to be important. Both goalies were in good form and had plenty of spectacuâ€" lar saving to do. Ten minutes overtime was n in Friday night‘s N.O.SS.A. gro key final to decide that Troquc High School would ropresent t thern section in the playâ€"ofts. Timmins held a lead all the way through the last period until there was just one minute of play left. They strove vainly to hold off th> persistent Falls attack and in the end Abramson went through to foree the overtime session. In the first half of the overtime, Murâ€" tagh and Porter scored goals in quick suce>ssicon, and playing the "offence is the best defence" game held off a series of frenzied Timmins rushes.

Piay Prolonged Defence After Therriault‘s nice goal in the opening of the third, the Timmins team settled back into defence play and beâ€" tween Brown‘s excellent work at the blue line and the long shots up the ice, they managed to break up most of the Falls efforts. Sarmiento did some danâ€" gerous looking work but couldn‘t inâ€" crease the lead. As the end of the period neared, the Falls put on all the pressure they had and finally, with five men up, Abramâ€" son got around the defence and skated in on top of Everard. The Timmins goalie saved once but Abramson took the rebound and th: game went into overtime. In the first minute of overtime it looked as_Timmins might repeat their performance at the opening of the third but they were a tired team and the relentless attack of the visitors soon wore them down.
