demonstrated conclu sively on saturday that they can win when they have a full team on hand and the desire al though it was only the first game of what could be a long series there was no indication that the indians have any surprises in store for the acton crew when they resume on saturday at caledonia reluctance of the iroquois leave the reservation on saturday nights was evident in their poor following they fielded only nine men against an acton team at full strength for the first time months why didnt the indians have full team on hand especially for the play offst well we discussed that with an old fellow name of long boat one night in caledonia when acton played there he had seen a lot of lacrosse in his day played when he was younger and now has two sons on the ohswekcn team he was typical of the elderly men who watched the game they sat silently now and again making ob servations but showing no emotion or excitability this particular longboat waa a blood relation of tom longboat the great indian runner who carried canada s colors into the olympics and had the eyes of the world on him with his track and field exploits tom longboat was conside one of if not the be i nmnerjuoilijjv american scene mb longboat was full of stories about his distinguished relation he knew him well but that is another story what the venerable old man said in effect was that the good days are gone for the indian he remembers when every lad on the reservation aspired to play for the lacrosse team we had some good teams in those days he said and we played the best there was now the young men don t seem to care whether they play or not was his complaint we used to nave two teams on the reservation one on the far end and another here in the lower end there s only one now and ft has to draw from both ends of the reserve the tall handsome indians from the far end of the reserve are the mohawks descendants of joseph brants warlike tribe who played a big part in the war of 1812 between the states and canada the lower end is the fade ration of tribes known as the iroquois or the six nations the mohawks although a part of the confederacy stick closer together and relatively few live on the lower end of the reservation tribes on the lower end are the oneideas onondigas cayugas tus caroros and the scnecas they are of smaller stature which makes the mohiwks a race apart we bent the mohawks in three straight game last year said mr longboat and since that time they hivtn i had a iicrossc team we ve umalgamited this year that s why thty re called the iroquois the six nation we ve only r a young team now he observed but they ought to be pretty good in two or three years beat bits acton juveniles bowed out of the baseball race on tuesday night when they lost their second straight game to port credit by a 4 3 score the port boys had just a bit more on the ball than the acton lads and managed to scrip through for a win it was a wik of elimination for acton teams

had no trouble dlspos ing of ohswekcn iroquois in the first game of a best of seven play off scries hen last saturday night he rnms walloped thc shorthand d indians is 4 in a game that was so ont sided it was dull most of the way for the 500 fans who sat in to watch appearing with only enough men to field a team the indians asked for clemency wanting to play sfx man lacrosse until reinforcements arrived from the reservation they were granted their request and thc entire game was played thc six man variety although ohsweken had ample men to staff a team by the end of the first period acton had a 40 lead at the end of the first quarter a 6 2 edge at thc half led 9 2 at the end of the third quarter and rapped in six more in the final chapter to a pair by the visitors the rams could have increased the score by at least five more with better shooting but a combination of thomas in the in dmn nets and erratic shots kept the scort in respectable figures ken woods in particular was the victim of daylight robbery at thc hands of thomas he was in on at least four occasions eluding the en tire iroquois team with some clever stick work and feinting only to be beaten by the indian net minder right on his doorstep the iroquois had a few good chances when the acton defense went to sleep but norm young came up with some fine save t kept them off the sheet comparatively quiet in the first two quarters the game livened up in the third stoma when both teams started to use some uncalled for tac tics the officials called eight pen alties six of them double sentences for fighting little ken watklns was the pick of the acton crew as he rapped in three goals and assisted on four more to lead the scoring his line- mate jack mann pumped fa three markers his last the prettiest of the night on a three way play and earned an assist while lloyd smith got two goals and as many assists as did rcvis bennett who heralded his return to uniform with a fine performance johnny krapek sniped two goals and an assist doug smith got one f each and fred kentner and gor dk burl n inch collected a goal bennett and ken woods both picked up an assist for thc iroquois c jacobs
