They have a Harlem Globetrotter - like routine, using the same stunts repeatedly, always to a different and enthusiastic gathering.

The Kinsmen players, try as they did, could not help but score. After Jim Lawrence scored, ten No-Stars filed out of the box. Bill Little engaged a No-Star in a fistic exchange late in the period and the mock battle ended up with both players flailing away at the officials. One -referee; Silverman, must have known he was in for a rough night; he was the cvictim in the age-old cream pie in the face routine during a second period search for a supposedly lost contact lens. The wildest antic the visitors pulled during the evening came in the second period when they hauled out a football and created a center ice melee that involved players from both sides in a wild scramble for possession. The ball ended up being thrown into the CKVR net for six points. Another hunorous incident that occurred in the second period ended in a No-Star goal.
