Bonspiel {Beat Kirkland Lake in Allow For Play-Off Iroquois Falls Wins First Half; Other Teams Have New Hope For Second Chance The schedule in the Northern Senior group of the N.O.H.A. was altered by the Executive in ses- sion at Hotel Haileybury yester- 'day afternoon, to allow for the possibility ofa play-off at the end -of the group games. The Iroquois Falls team has been declared winner of the first half, and if they are able to go through and win the second half, which opened on Tuesday even- ing, they will not have to play- -off, but should one of the other three teams win the second half, they will have home and home games with the Eskimos. The changes in the schedule will be noted in another column. Instead of the final group game being staged on February 18th, it will be played on the 15th. The meeting was presided over by President C. O. Baker, North Bay, and the other members _ of the Executive present were Sec- retary W. A. Thompson, Past President G. W. Turk, Vice-Pres- dent D. E. Sutherland, and Chas. Roach. Each club in the group was 'represented and their delegates were given an opportunity to state their views on the advocat- 'ed changes. Porcupine was rep- resented by Stan. Burgoyne, Iro- 'quois Falls by E. M. Little, Kirk- land Lake by Fred. Ribout, and Haileybury by J. W. N. Bell. When the schedule was drawn up on December Ist, last year, all 'clubs favored the idea of a play- off between the first and second teams, and had a triple schedule, the longest ever attempted in the N.O.H.A., play starting on Dec. 18th. When this schedule was submitted to the Executive on December 15th, it was noted that it was not meant to end until February 19th, with the play-offs after that. As the Association must have a winner declared and ready to play the O.H.A: Inter- mediate champions in Toronto on February 26th, and as the North- 'ern group winner would possibly be called upon to meet both the Kapuskasing and Sudbury group winners, it was -- obviously _im- possible to have the play-off of first and second teams, and there was not time between Saturday, December 15th, when the Execu- tive meeting was held, and Tues- day, December 18th, when the first group game was to be play- ed, to turn the schedule back to the-clubs for revision: The Ex- ecutive, therefore, had to remove the play-off clause. 'It was decided yesterday at the meeting that should the tie game which was played by Iroquois Falls and. Poreupine on Tuesday night have any bearing on the second half title, it would be re- played on-neutral ice, to be cho- sen by the N.O.H.A. The report of Referee Baillie, on the Hudson case, which crop- ped up in the game at Iroquois Falls with Porcupine, where the former Grad star is alleged to have struck the referee, was not definite enough to take drastic action on. The Association felt, thowever, that it could not be ov- erlooked, and the Secretary was instructed to write Dr. Hudson and the Porcupine Hockey Club, warning the player that should his name appear upon another. refer- ee's report, other than where it is signed, he will be summarily dealt with, probably suspended for the balance of the season. + HOCKEY SCHEDULES Northern Group--Sentor Saturday, January 26th-- Haileybury at Iroquois Falls Porcupine at Kirkland Lake Tuesday, January 29th-- Iroquois Falls at Kirkland Lake -- Haileybury at Porcupine Thursday, January 3lst-- Porcupine at Iroquois Falls Haileybury at Kirkland Lake Saturday, February 2nd-- Iroquois Falls at Haileybury Kirkland Lake at Porcupine Tuesday, February 5th-- Kirkland Lake at Iroquois Falls Porcupine at Haileybury Friday, February 8th-- Iroquois Falls at Porcupine Kirkland Lake at Haileybury Tuesday, Februay 12th-- : Haileybury at Iroquois Falls Porcupine at Kirkland Lake Friday, February 15th-- Iroquois Falls at Kirkland Lake Haileybury at Porcupine, Opens Monday Night Big Annual Event Will Require All the Ice in Arena and Curling Rink Preparations are well under way for the T. & N.

They polished off Iroquois Falls kids on Monday evening, 8-1, and have a commanding lead over Timmins. Haileybury Juniors lost another game to Cobalt last Thursday ev- ening, 4-1, and the Silver crew have the group pretty much at their mercy. The locals, how- ever, are still expecting to put a game on the right side, and step in here TONIGHT determined to start now. The kids go strong all the way, and are always your money's worth. The Junior hockey game sche- duled between Cobalt and Hail- eybury here on Monday evening next has been postponed, on ac- count of the T. & N. O. Bonspiel, the curlers having taken over the ice at the arena for the first three days of next week. The game will likely be played after the 'spiel has been completed.

Bring Results Fast Hockey Game Win Out in Overtine in Game Which Had Fans on Toes From Gong to Gong In a game which went ten min- utes overtime, and had the spec- tators on their toes from opening bell to closing gong, Haileybury defeated Kirkland Lake, 8-6, at the arena on Tuesday evening. It was a dandy game to win, and a tough one to lose. Haileybury started out with Northcott, McKnight and Bag- shaw on the forward line, and they looked more like a hockey team than at any previous ap- pearance this season. Right from the initial face-off, the boys combined to test Mayo, Kirkland goalie, and in a scramble which ensued after the third rush, one of the Kirkland men, in trying to block McKnight from receiving a pass-out, slapped the disc into his own twine. Play was fairly even for the next ten minutes, with both teams taking three-man fo- rays into the other's. territory, only to be foiled at the defence or turned aside by the net-minders. Finally, Townsley, Kirkland cen- tre, took a pass from Regan, and bulged the twine to tie it up. : With just a couple of minutes of the first frame to. go, North- cott, on a solo effort, put his side one up. Two minutes after the start of the second period, Bill Bagshaw combined with Hylands and put afast one past "Wart." Hy- lands, a couple of minutes later, gave the pass to "Baldy" which made the score 4-1 for the home- sters. Woods reduced the lee- way for Kirkland a few minutes before the end of the period, to make it read 4-2. Five minutes after the start of the third frame, McKnight made it 5-2 on a pass from Northcott. It was a sweet goal. Sonny Townsley took' a perfect pass from Regan and made sure four minutes later to bring the tally to 5-3 Kirkland then started five men up, and Haileybury players were hoisting it down the ice. Relieving a rush, Northcott se- cured, stickhandled his way down through, pulled Mayo over and scored the prettiest goal of _the game, and "Baldy" sure received a hand for his brilliant play. Kirkland came right back, and on a three-man rush Woods scor- ed from ten feet out. Then Son- ny Townsley shot through a maze of legs outside the blue line and the puck nestled in the twine without "Tub" ever glimpsing 1t, bringing the score up to 6-5. At this stage Kirkland were swarm- ing in with five men up and mak- ing things hot for the homesters, who seemed more or less bewild- ered. Just as the gong went, but before the referee's bell sounded for full time, Townsley took a rebound of Regan's shot and tied the count. Halfway through the first five minutes of overtime, Harry Mc- Knight whistled one from just 1n- side the blue line with a ticket on it, and Haileybury again had the advantage. Kirkland came back to four-man-up stuff and made it warm before the teams chang- ed ends. a gain, and were pressing hard, raining shot after shot goalward, but couldn't connect. With less than a minute to go, "Baldy" and "Tup" broke away, and in spite of desperate efforts by Kirkland to stop them, Vern gave the little black disc to Northcott, who --_----_--_--_------------ Northern Group--Juntor JANUARY 24th--Timmins at Kirkland 28th--Kirkland at Timmins.

'combination and Then they started ina-}. The crowd was quite a_ bit smaller than at any previous tilt, but what they lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm. It was the crowd-pleasing type of game, with lots of scoring, good , speedy rushes with pretty stickhandling by both sides. Haileybury made their big mistake in reverting to a defen- Sive game, and hoisting the disc down the ice, when they were a couple of goals up, when an of- fensive might have increased the lead. However, the boys gave their best, won out in the end, and sent their supporters home hug- ging themselves. "Baldy" Northcott again was the shining star, both as a goal- getter and back-checker, but he had very able support from_ his wings, Bagshaw_and McKnight. The former, on the forward line for the first time this season, and suffering from a heavy cold, which made breathing almost an impossibility, tore in like a fiend, when the locals were short-hand- ed through penalties and checked the whole Kirkland forward line, and at other times showed the nicest stickhandling of the night. Billy sure made himself solid with the crowd on his evening's display. Harry McKnight, too, made the old gypsum sit up and beg. He had the Kirklanders goggle- eyed, wondering where the old black disc was, and he scored a couple of goals on lightning fast shots, and gets credit for an as- sist on another. Jack Fitzmaurice and Vern. Tupling, on the defence, were good both ways, turning many Kirkland thrusts off to the cor- ners, and rushing dangerously all the way. A disinclination to pass the rubber is the only criticism which could be offered on their performance. While a couple of soft ones got past "Tub" Sutherland in the net, he saved dozens which were la- belled for the twine, and his save of Townsley's shot just at the close of the first five minutes of overtime put the fight into his mates which ensured victory. "Pap" Hylands, too, turned in his best effort of the year. This boy is about ready to show his real worth, and from now on will be harder than ever to stop.
