in acton tomorrow night goals will count on the two- game round in the first period we would have hailed acton to win handily but after the staling speed and avalanche of pucks burled at goaler woods in the second period we gave georgetown even odds er the veterans for taking the aeries only sheer luck in this frame saved the tanners ironabelng swamped as they were skated to a standstill and bewildered as the flying bed shirts hit them from all direc tions the third period evened up again and acton pressed hard m the dying moments of play to get an edge for the return game on home ice in the initial period acton took the first shot on the net from the face off and rushed the puck in the local end with only three minutes played evans fanned on a cripple and towns ley put acton one up on morton s pass things continued to look doubtful as mooney and i marzo combined for a second counter to put acton two up going into the second period georgetown certainly turned on the pressure in the sandwich reel and scored three goals in quick succession they had the tanners spellbound as with amazing speed they swooped in on the goal mouth time and time again only to be ouuucked or by woods making some brilliant saves kemshead led the parade with two goals followed by beaumont the session ended however tdndsay netted another for the visitors on long shot to keep the secore even as the
