There was no food obtainâ€" able, not even a drink of water either at the station or elsewhere. The station was beastly cold., the heating system core might indicote. The Porcupin: 'boys had a number of serious handiâ€" caps, among these being an "offâ€"side" ,type of play by the Liskeard lads. Anâ€" ‘other was the poor lighting of the rink and its general lack of upâ€"toâ€"date style. One Timmins wag kept referring at the time to the "small halfâ€"round, square, triâ€"angleâ€"cornered rink at Liskeard." Still another drawback for the Timmins team was that they had to get on their uniform on the train and arriving at New Liskeard at 9.55, were started in the game at 10.25. After the wearying journey on the train no team could do its best. The longer the Timmins lads were on the ice the better they showed up, the last periocd being 1â€"1.
