[DEALS [08E T0 CANNINGTON 7-4 The game resembled more of ice polo than it did hockey. ad stick hand ling was impossible for the light Roughriders so the players were for- ced to bat the puck and shoot all night. The game at all times was dangerous to a, player. Two accidents did occur which weakened the locals considerably was the injuries received by Jack Junkin and Lorne Wright. ocals ryr-rl garnet hay Junkin, received his injury before‘ the game started. The] ocals had step‘ ped on the ice for the first time, and had much difficulty in ragging the puck due to lack of light and their eyes had yet now become used to the dimness of the rink and a shot from the blue line caught, Junkin on the cheek bone. Lorne Wright got his shortly after the game had started when a Canning-ton Player took a swing at the puck missing it by yards and Striking Wright over the we. causing a nasty wound. Neither accidents were of a ser- iousness nature but were very pain- ful. Cannington Gifted With Two Goals In the third Period referee Aldous made Cannington a present of two goals, the locals desperately argued but mo no avail. The first goal was a shot from the blue line which struck the met, Can- nington clafmed the shot a goal and “he referee GIGâ€"I‘UIEd the goal um- pire and called the play to centre ice plain case of bluff on Cannihgton’s The second gifted goal was- :s‘cored with the play originating: inside their own .blue line with another Canning- ton man inside the Roughriders blue line. The Cannington player received a pass behind his goal andrushed in- to centre ice area and over the blue to centre ice and shot with the Canâ€" nington man hovering around the 10- ca-l nets. Ju’nkin made no attempt to block the shot thinking the play would be called back but for some mysterious reason it wasn’t and the igoal was counted. iFlukc Goal The locals had not only support from Its local fans, as Woodville were behind Bobcaygeon nearly one-hund- red per cent, and led by our good} friend M1. Mosure. The ’Caygeon Roughriders had a hard luck goal scored on them, when a local player made an effort to clear the puck from a scramble in front of the net and banged it into his own net Roughriders Please Crowd Although the rough riders lost the de- cision, they received a big hand from thee rowd, and Cannington fans claim it the best team they have seen play.

The second period was, very fast at the start but soon sicWed down as the Show began to gather on the ice and made stickhandling impossible so the polo began in earneét. Neithei teams got verv far and the, locals missed several nice chance}? when thev had nothing but the goal minder to beat.
