from centre ice after receiving a pass from mooney and stickhandled his way through the whole milton team to put acton two up this line could only score one goal although they had several royal chances but luck favored the milton team anderson waterhouse and dawkins came on again and anderson accounted for one of the strangest goals ever seen scored here he shot the puck from centre ice and itappeared as if it was going right over the screen at the end of the rink however one of the milton defence men got his- head in the way and the flying pellet lifted his hat m right off and after

notched two goals but anderson came back and scored his third goal of the evening to give acton a two goal lead he should have had another one as his shpt from the wing hit the inside of the set and bounced out again the- red light flash ed but referee salmon did not allow the goal the first jine seems stronger than the second although the youngsters have more teamnplay and combination the milton team showed the lack of practise and did not have the speed of the locals russ salmon was the referee the hockey notes event arranged for tomorrow man came back gibbons of acton drew a trip to the cooler with both sides at full strength again ritchie for george town made a solo rush and e marzo on the defence gave him a very stiff body check knocking him to the ice this enraged ritchie and he
