seventysecond year of publication wednesday evening february 8th 1939 150 per annum in advance 200 to usa can georgetown hoekeyists win from brampton to night a w is locals only chance for playoff berth 5- now league leaders bolton bolton victors on monday night by g mac mcgttvxay georgetown 8 intermediate b boc- joey team has only one alternative in order to set into the group playoffs and that is to defeat the brampton dim when they tangle at the arena f here tonight it will be he game of games even greater than the monday night affair with bolton and that game drew the seasons record crowd and gave the spectators the thrill of their life it means to do or die for the georgetown club and you can bet they will be in there fighting every i of the way not giving up untn the final gong is sounded no gamer lot of hoekeyists ever took the ice under georgetown colors and every game this year hw had its thrills the brampton team seem to have gamed renewed strength since their last game with georgetown and de feated the league leading boltonites i twice in a row in the first game the bcore was 73 and in the second 397 however this is no barometer for the game tonight and it should see our tricolor squad easy winners and ready for a group playoff but dont take our word for it come out and see just what can be done iffbrampton should win and we donl think there is a chance they wttlnlnd themselves in second place in the league and will playoff with bolton for group honors if georgetown wins then brampton and georgetown will have to battle it out second pl al jiver ag bolton 4 georgetown 2 now let us get back to the game here on monday night when some too fans filed past the wicket and were thrilled by the hockey of two very evenly matched teams bolton however had the edge on the nights play and the score no doubt was about the right average it was an off night for the geo club nd they failed to look in shape after a weeks layoff without any games on the other band bolton was smart ing from the defeats given them by the brampton crew and were out to win at almost any cost the win put the boltonites in first place position in the league the ice proved to be rather sticky due to the mild weather and a roll ing puck slowed down what might otherwise have been a fast game while the game was exciting at times only a fair brand of hockey was played with very little combin ation play by either team the smart team work displayed by the george town dub up in bolton a week ago jwbs lacking and even individual plays were easily broken up when the play ers seemed overanxious to score the first period opened with both teams playing rather cautiously and iffrg sure neither got a break however the bolton team finally got the edge and crocker intercepted harris pass and bulged the twine for the first counter this made the going tough for georgetown but it j ws not for long as w richardson banged in the puck from a scramble to tie up the score penatlles were meted out to barney rohoe and hall going into the second nrriod with the score tied 1 1 play was more open and each team was out to add goals for their side bolton were the first to score and break the tie when stubbs scored on a nice effort ward was serving a penalty when barney added another counter for bolton when ward again took the ice it was not jong before he secured george towns second and final goal other players penalized in this period were stockford and an crooked twice georgetown pressed hard in the final stage of the game but were out- lucked when they had the bolton team scrambling all over the ice hi front of their own net to save over- arpdousness seemed to be their great est drawback as they missed the net on more than one occasion when close in with only onehalf minute of the game left to play chapman secured a break and went in on al- cott to make the score 42 for bol ton norton received the only penal ty of the third period- there were really no standout play ers on either team all gave of their best and for bolton it was a good win for georgetown not so good if anyone earned greater honors than the rest it was hall in the bolton net who stopped some almost impossible shots in the last period however we hope to meet this team again be fore the group honors are settled georgetown goal alcott defence hall dewhurst centre g

public school the boys of this patrol are on duty daily and are doing their bit toward making the school safety conscious the lions club have gone still further to promote safety and on tuesday afternoon brought a speaker from toronto to address the school children through the kind permission of general draper torontos chief constable the club secured the ser vices of inspector dunne who com mands the traffic squad of the to ronto police and who is directly re sponsible for the safety and smooth operation of traffic in the city in spector dunne has been hi this posi tion for many years

portaylng safe driving reckless driving and safe pedestrian traffic with these pictures as a basis he then spoke to the children draw ing their attention to accidents and showing how they could have been avoided after his talk the inspector asked the school two questions one for the girls and one for the boys regarding the best way to avoid ac cidents tne answers to the ques tions had been embodied in his talk and he offered a prize to the first boy and girl who gave the correct answer- he gave a prize also to the boy who would volunteer to read a poem on safety before the assembled school the great variety of answers given the questions proved that the children had paid close attention to the in spectors talk and that they had ab sorbed the important points for safe ty inspector
