Roy Smith, secring 4 of the 5 goals, played a lovely game for the Scouts, as did McLeod and V. Jessup.

Score for the first part was 2 to 1 for the C.Y.0, _ The second period found V. Jessup in place of E. Goodman in the Scouts net. McLeod drew a penalty for being a litile rough. In this part of the game McDonald scored for the C.YÂ¥.0., with his neat stick handling. R. Smith came out and again scored for his teaim, picking up a pass from Charron. Cybulski wert a long way into the opposing team‘s section and missed a good many near scores. G,. Columbus scored for C.Y.O. near the end of the second, to be followed bya long shot from McDonald, making the score at the end of the second period 5 to 3# for the C.Y.O. McDonald also received a penalty in this period. The third period started out fast, with the Scouts determired to still win, in spite of the 3â€"goal lead. McLeod on a lone run, getting through the full lineâ€"up of the C.Y.O0. team, netted a lovely goal for the Scouts, Laroque was put off fcr tripping in this period.
