a thrilling 10 0 victory over the bhivet here tuesday night in the lait scheduled league game it was actons only loss nt home to date and over 800 fans saw the hornets put on a last period drive that netted them five goals to break up the tighest and most ex citing game seen this senior 0 wilting in the- last few minutes the acton club couldn t match the sustained drive dundn put on to wrap it up score was tied 6all with about six minutes to play the bhives coming from behind twice with brilliant goals to tic it up but when walter main split the acton defense to ram home the tie breaking goal followed by willis with another it was all over but the cheering the last two goals scored were incidental and augured noth ing on the result the loss actons fifth against 15 wins leaves the bhives in n first place tie with the hornets how ever dundas has still one game to play with brantnorfolk mohawks and unless an upset is registered wilt climb into sole possession of first place with a win the bhives will have to settle for second place in their first season of lacrosse a position which means nothing more or less in the play offs first four teams are in the charmed circle and will likely play a round robin to determine which teams will play for intermediate a honors and the same for inter mediate b top two teams in the round robin will playoff for a and trst bottom two for b other two

positions well sticking to their checks like adhesive and giving the bhives very little opportunity to score on the other hand the ac ton club lacked the stnmlnn that has cbrthcteri7ed moit of their gnmes this year they suffered defensive lapses that let hornets right in on norm young in the nets without nny effort nt stopping them per- hnps the club missed the services of townsend brunski and cleave whom work commitments kept from being in uniform in addition bob wilson and zoke mccnndless still nre out with injuries acton finished the first quarter nhend 31 on nent goals by joe ger- rie junior beaumont and krapek with porter scoring the only dun das marker the lead was short lived however as the hornets bur- zed in for three in the second quart er to which acton replied once on a shot by junior benumont tied 44 going into the second hnlf dundas fired the only goal of the third to carry a 54 lead into the final chapter junior beaumont completed a hat trick by potting a brilliant goal early in the final stnnzn from n rink long pass from bill louth to tie it up again but tecchi nullified that with another dundns goal johnny hnines took n short pass from joe gerri and tied it up again but then main broke through for a goal thrit touched off the hornet rally showing all kinds of speed junior beaumont played an outstanding game for acton scoring three goals joe gerrle was powerful on rushes as well as on defense and he racked up a goal and an assist norm young performed miraculous feats in the nets on occasions but he had little chance on the balls that elud ed him willis with thiee goals porter and anderson u ith two paced the well coached hornets to the win on the seasons record between the two chilis each team has won two in four meetings a name at
