dead- locked 3 3 and they went into the final on even terms with the excep tion of fergus having the advantage of being on home ice atf the drop of the puck georgetown was out for goals which they failed to get while fergus were inclined to lay back and wait for the breaks this they seemed to handle very efficient lyfor as dick carroll sajd it was nice to win both teams set a dazzling pace in the ant period with the thistles going into he lead early in the game the cxst goal which meant so much to both teams was scored by bltnco on a pass from l brown when georgetown were late in clearing

middle stanza was a heart- breaker fergus had the luck to be warded a goal when bui anthony in order to stemoff an attack threw in stick in front of the puckcarrier this made the score 3 0 at the end

of six to three it is hard u believe that inter- mediate hockey is over for another season in oeorgetown especially after carrying such- high hopes that fergus would be easy to knockoff in the playoffs r the georgetown team won the group title last year so we still have those memories to look back on and in the meantime good luck fergus in your quest for further hon ors honey kuntz referred a good game in fergus monday night and it nearly broke his heart to have to award a goal against georgetown when anthony threw his stick it is rumoured that we may yet see our intermediates in action be fore the ice is gone an exhibition game with the rjcaj team from camp borden is trying to be arrang ed if this is the case the rx3af will run a special train from camp and we can expect some 400 to 600 flyers to accompany the team local sportsdom regrets to learn of the serious accident in which ro- bert moose bcclestone of swan sea was badly injured moose ec- clestone popular manager of toronto goooyears a year or two ago has been a popular oha referee here on many occasions this winter early reports this morning say he is still unconscious in the toronto western hospital the accident occurred on front street toronto on tuesday morn when his car became involv ed with another he had refereed a hockey game in collingwood the night previous we hope the moose may have a speedy recovery his services in the ojla will be missed during the playoffs not since january 1937 has there been such a crowd of spectators at a hockey game in georgetown arena as there was on thursday night to see georgetown and fergus tangle in their first playoff game on janu ary 33rd 1937 oeorgetown and acton clashed at the arena in an intermedi ate fixture and 1193 paid admission to see uils gams last thursday night 1137 paid admission a few more gates like that would soon put the arena company on their feet bo say nothing of the hockey dub the intermediates seem to be jknxed this year when it comes to scoring goals that are not allowed two games that stand out more than others are the ouelph league game and the fergus playoff game in both these games goals were scored by the local team which could not be count ed for some reason or another and if we remember correctly mike rodden refereed both of these games on thursday an argument arose over a penalty which cost georgetown a goal in the fergus game no doubt mike rodden has been a good referee in his day but to our mind his day is long since passed he should now be on the oha retirement list sport s by sldelmer its with real regret that we say goodbye to the georgetown interme diates as they fade out of the hockey picture this year it was a great sea son and we saw some grand hockey played there cant be any kicks about i the decision and fergus have proved themselves worthy of the brilliant re- card they made in the schedule this year well be watching them go on to further glory albeit with a sigh that we cant be rooting for a victori ous georgetown team i officials of the hockey club and the arena board were beaming last thurs day night as they saw the biggest crowd in three years clicking through the turnstiles for the fergus game here it was heartbreaking to see a twogoal lead slide away in a few seconds of slackening and we cant help thing it might have been a differ ent story monday night if the locals had been carrying a twogoal lead on to strange ice as it was fergus seemed to have what it takes right from the starting whistle and this spectator hada sink ing feeling an the time that george town was not going to win this time which doesnt explain a rash bet made with a mr lovell at the end of the first period which took a five- spot out of the herald treasury it was a great gang some three hundred and fifty strong that des cended on fergus by special tram everyone seemed to be having a whale of a time with unprompwsuiceongs et al wonder why the railways dent go in for sponsoring that sort of thing it might whack a few dollars off the onxt deficit referee honey runts was plenty sore at the expectorating spectator who landed an oyster square in his eye aant say we blame him asking the long arm of the law to eject the of fender georgetown commanded the play for two period penal ties costly fergus finish strong score 2all thursday night was certainly hoo key night in georgetown when some 1200 enthuisestlc hockey fans crowded the local arena ajmost to capacity cheering continuously the crowd in the main seemed to be bacx of the georgetown club although the fergus team had a goodly number of suppor ters but m some respects it was a hostile crowd for the decisions of referee mike rodden of toronto were questioned on many occasions with boos and hisses not that bis decisions were favoring one team or the other but that they were unfair in the light of good hockey- it was the first game in the inter mediate b group 3 finals between fergus and georgetown having de feated elora five times this season and earned the tight to meet the league- leading fergus thistles the george town boys were out 9 give their best for the hometown in an endeavour to annex

fergus coming from behind a 3 0 score to even the count and tie the score for the return game of the series at fergus monday night while the game was fast and furious at times the local club had in a sense an off night the papermakeis were not up to par although they did command the greater part of the play for the first two periods fergus seem- to be doing their beat although vou in the net was not so hot as he was rated tops by coach dick carroll this nervousness was noted when one glanced at the cool way burrows handled the rubber in the georgeto net on the whole the game gave the georgetown fans an even greater hope of group honors the result and story of the final game will be found in another column the oeorgetown forward lines were the mainstay of the club in this game the defensive tactics of the club did npt measure up so well and when playing two men short due to penal ties were unable to staveoff the bard- presnhg visitors had a strictly de fensive game been adhered

team to embarrass vou and blink the red light only six minutes later dude lindsay drove one home to send the crowd cheering to their feet it look ed good k was good for the balance of the period they continued to press the visitors into their own end but some fine plays failed to click and there was no further bookkeeping ne cessary except for a penalty to joe murphy for tripping the second frame

took advantage to even the score halfway through the period l brown soloed for the first goal and chapman and chambers combined for the other tally this ended the scor ing and the teams were
