Four minutes later Lamport went on the war path and after being stopped at the defence, he unexpect- edly caught a loose puck on the end of his stick and hoisted it on a beau- tiful shot into the net. Lamport's rushes all through the game were dangerous but this proved to be his only counter. he second quarter was unprodue- tive of any thing in a scoring way but nevertheless was decidedly ex- citing and in the opinion of som the best period of the three, Osh- awa tried for the entire twenty minutes to get through the West Toronto defence to pay Geddes a visit in this frame but every time they tried, Bignell and Hearn said no with emphasis and with shots from outside the deefnding area not being worth a nickel a bushel, the reen shirts were forced tn go score- ess, Burr turned in a sterling ex- hibition for Oshawa in this period and was responsible for the 2-0 score which was hung up in the first stan- 2 Jontinuing unbroken into the third, The last period was fast and fur- ious with Oshawa making their last big push in an attempt to grah off the decision, Gunn, Art Black and Doc Rowden rushed time and again, with a combined attack by Gunn, Drinkle and Arundel interspersing the solo attempts. All. went for nothing however until Doc Rowden made his successful plunge down the ice to score the last goal of the game and to save the name of Oshawa from whitewash. Before Rowden could enter his in- out, Only in the second period, when no goals were scored by either team, did the Shamrocks show to advan- tage, it being only tough luck, com- bined with some ineffectiveness, which denied them at least three goals, In the first and third periods, the red shirted West Toronto aggre- gation just a trifle outsmarted the hamrocks and in the first period they counted two goals while in the third session they slipped three past Vic Burr, Doc Rowden, fresh from hectic gridiron contests, scored the Sham- rock's only goal with about 6 minu- tes left to play in the last quarter when he staged a solo effort from the defence and after plunging dog- gedly through first the West Tor- onto forward line and then the de- or a dentation however West Toronto had notched three counters to put them in good shagie for a prospective vie. tory.

All three attempts were unexpected in their result but were nevertheless not to be denied. Doc Rowden and Art Black were outstanding for Oshawa last night and in fact, this pair seem to be in for a glorious season under the green and white of the Oshawa Shamrocks. Besides making brilliant and fast breaking rushes down the ice both played excellent games on defence and stalled effectively many a West Toronto attack. The Shamrocks' forward line of Drinkle, Guan and Sleighton lacks experience, and although aggressive, unn was the only man of the trio who was by any means effective. Gunn packs a wicked shot which he uses often and seemingly from any- where on the ice. He is also a nice stick handler, Another boy who made a good impression last night was Rene Lortie, who showed, if nothing else, that he has been on skates before, He is a good rusher and quite aggressive, filling in nice- ly as a relief man on the defence and showing possibilities of forward line ability if given a chance, Bill Arundle showed lack of speed, owing probably to incondition, in the game last night but used his head and kept the West Toronto forwards continually bothered with some nice back checking. As soon as he gets in shape, Bill should turn in a good season this year, Smith and Hugar, although in uni- form, weren't used to any extent while Eddie Leveque who was the sentry of the nets in the Shamrocks first game of the series against U.T.S,, wasn't in uniform, The line ups were: Oshawa -- Goal, Burr; defence, Rowden and Black; centre, Drinkle; wings, Gunn and Sleighton; subs, Lortie, Arundle, Smith and Hugar, West Toronto--Goal, Geedes, de- fence, Bignell and Hearn; centre, Ewen; wings, Thorne and Kress- ler; subs, Lamport, Morrison, Doran and Phillips, Referee--F, Sullivan, eo Sum! 1--West Toronto, .

Doc Rowden was on skates at the Arena Gardens for the first time last night, but, nevertheless, showed plenty of stuff. He was in good con- dition--rugby with the General Motors Blue Devils attended to that--and make him faster and more effective Doc has been moved back to defence this year where his weight and clean-cut checking stands him in good last night's game, West Toronto gave him plenty attention when he came stead. He rushes often, and in Art Black uncorked some heautiful speed last night, but his shot was going to the boards for the most part, instead of to the net, If his pellets had been in the right place they'd have done a lot of damage. Vic Burr was used in goal in the second period and especially worked like a charm, It was no great fault of his that the counters sifted past. Gunn, a newcomer to the team, was one of the most aggressive men on the ice last night. He shot hard and often and was right on the tail of the puck all the time. He's good for a regular berth on the forward line, Eddie Drinkle worked hard but seems to require a few more games with fast company before he develops into a first class centre--which he Drinkle fell down on his back checking particularly, which substan: tiates our opinion that he needs some more experience, aggressive man in last night's melee. est Toronto men in no uncertain manner while he also showed some nice stick handling in his rushes down number ten on this year's uniform, is e has speed but can't use it to best ad- vantage. .Give him time and he'll make the grade nicely, Bill Arundel was far from being in mid-season form last night and seemed to lack effectiveness, His back checking was good but eed was lacking, which however is nothing against him at this stage of is usual The Oshawa City Industrial Softball banquet went over with a bang With this season brought to such a successful clogs, the activities of the league is certain to meet with popularity in the 1 to see the number of Oshawa people at the Arena campaign, large number must have been aueh » and it was no boys out on the ice, to lose, Bloor Colleglase Defeats U.T.S to Enter Finals Toronto, Nov. 29.--Beating down University of Toronto Schools' for- midable offensive, Bloor Collegiate, champions of the High School Lea- gue, came from behind to tle the score and then to win in overtime in the O.R.P.U, Interscholastic sud- den-desth semi-final yesterday at Varsity Stadium.
