Burprising Strength of K.O.1. ~~ Team Feature of Last 2 Night's Battle. "2 Local hockey fans, Queen's and With very little doubt K.C.I. them: Selves got a surprise last night when © 4#he junior Intercollegiate clash . Which brought Queen's and X.C.1 together for the first meeting of the Season ended in a 3-3 tie after sixty minutes of the most exciting hockey | that has been seen fn the junior Tn- _ fercollégiate series here in some time. At the end of the first perfod Queen's led the parade by a 3-0 Score and at the end of the second by 3-2 but the K.C.I lads chirked through in the last period and made the game safe temporarily at least. What this K.C.I. outfit didn't show fast night wasn't worth seeing--fhat Is, for a junior team. ' They had barrels of" 'speed, back-checked Queen's to a standstill and wherever | 2£° when Be went into the danger they got it, condition enough for|*® Iwo teams.

"Red" McDowell, {'@ib" McKelvey and Baldwin were the chief puck carriers of the Tri- color although "Bud" Macpherson 2150 missed some wonderful chances, He would have been = better off hy shooting through the defence in- stead of trying to go through him- self with the puck or going around them, He was given ng mean pas, ne. Play had elapsed about - fifteén minutes when: K.C.I. landed the third and tlelng score and from then on it was a case of go and go and both teams let the fans see some neat work. "Gibson and Orford both had busfness to attend to and though Queén's assumed the offen- sivé towards the close of the game and crowded in on Gibson he was equal to all calls and kept the puck out of his net, the game ending up With each team sporting three goals.

' (Special to the Whig.) Brockville, Jan. 26.---Brock¥ille intermediates walked away with Helleville here last night and won by six"goals to three in the most ex- citing and best played match of the yéar.. The win for the locals gave them the lead in the O.H.A. group anda well deserved victdry. The play was very evenbin the first two periods the, score being tied 1-1 in the first and 3-2 for Brockville in the second. Though strenuous at all times the play was fairly clean but Referee Farlow, Toronto, ruled with an' fron hand and dealt out several penalties, Kennedy, "Red" Garand and Hamelin, three of the Brockville juniors were stars of the &' wonderful 'exhibition. Frank Goyer was the best of the Belleville outfit, o The teams were: Sides : BROCKVILLE. Murrey Hamelin i b THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG _ 3 | SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT The accident to "Chicks" Mundell last night was most unfortunate, shortly. % . water with two or three of his Queen's brethren on different occasions, all the time. "Red" still refgns favorite for his pluck with the local fans. The Brockville Juniors will close their group engagement here on representatives. The Brockville squad are coming up here determined to set a dizzy pase for the benefit of the local fans. Jack Powell handled the bell well last night in the senior game and kept order throughout the contest. When things started to get a bit rpugh, "Senator" laid on the firm hand and let the boys know he was the boss. * Joe Smith had a mighty hard game to handle last night and he sure did the job up well. With the score 3-2 for Queen's and. only & few dlinutes to go, things were in some pretty tight corners and had to be watched 'mighty carefully. - Joe Smith did some of his best work -last night in the close junior contest. Two games ended 3-3 on the same night on the same rink. Odd, ish't it? Just where -"Dunc" Boucher gets the reputation of being a rough player among a certain element of fans, is hard to understand. In the games played to date, the Queen's wing star had turned in remarkably Eood hockey and has played very clean all the way through. There are several other players who are far worse than Boucher has been this seasph. When a player is going good, why not give him credit Tor it? A very ardent Queen's supporter takes exception to the opinion expressed that' Varsity were holding back in their gamé here with Queen's until the last period. This supporter, who insists that he is perfectly familiar with all Varsity's styles of play, etc., says that the Blue and White trjed for the first two periods just as hard as they did in the last.' He triks'to call the writer.to task for saying the opposite, but we will let 'the matter rest with the opinion of those who thoroughly anderstand 'the game,«and to the fans in general. This young K.C.L. team deserves a few barrels of credit for the won- derful game they put up against the heavier Queen's team last night in the junior Intercollegiate series. It was as neat an exhibition as has been given by any junior Intercollegiate team from KCL in many a long day and George Stewart, coach of the Blue and White, deserves a great degl of praise for what he has done with those boys. They came back, alter being outplayed in the first period, and completely smothered the Tri- color in the last two periods. That they did not come through and win wag due very. largely to hard luck on their part. "Gib" McKelvey is a powerful defence man and. a/grent checker, but his playing will be tar more effective, as far as rushilig' goes, When he skates down the centre of the ice instead of crowding the hoards." It only he would do that, his hoi would improve greatly. \ "Mike™ Gibson played a star game in the K..I. nets'last night, but his opponent much more to do'than he. Orford, in the Queen's nets, had shots rung at him from dangerous angles and had it mot been for his great work, the Tricolor would have been trailing when the game was over. » * . The victory of the Brockville 'sextette last night at Brockville over the Belleville Maroons shows conclusively that the reason the Belle- villians were winning so much at the start was because they had no opposition. They looked to be a very ordinary team against. Kingston here. | . The 'Helleville-Kingston game at Belleville next Friday night is attracting more attention locally than anything in the sport line Just now. Indications are that nearly two hundred fans will make the trip to Belle- ville oh Friday for the big game. Kingston must win on Friday night to stay up in the race with the other two teams, and, playing away from home, they have:a hard task ahead of them. It can be done, however, and the locals meas to do it. by half light at the Arena to accustom themselves to the lighting econdi- tions in the Belleville rink. There was some talk of the O.H.A. 'making Belleville put in a decent lighting system in the rink there, but nothing ever came of it. There's a whole lot of things wrong with that in comparison to some of the arenas in this section of ihe country. be? 5 _ The three juniors, Kennedy, Garand and Hamelin, played for the Brockville intermediates last night against Belleville.
