THE MIRROR Stratford Lacrosse Team Making Splendid Showing STRATFORD WINS A HARD FOUGHT GAME (Simcoe Reformer) Seldom has there been a moré hard- ly tought game in Simcoe than that which was fought on the high school campus yesterday afternoon between the Stratford and Simcoe lacrosse teams, It was an O.L.A, fixture _re- . fereed by Charlie Lightfoot of Strat- ford, with C. Pipher as judge of play. The struggle began immediately the game was opened. Checking became very determined and persistent, es- Pecially on the part _of the Simcoe team, and before the first period was ended play began to be rough. The determined nature of the struggle on the field soon communicated itself to _ the sidelines and sympathies began to be freely and vociferously expressed both by the Simcoe fans and some lady supporters from Stratford. Fin- ally Schram of Simcoe and Bain of Stratford. were sent to the sidelines for five minutes for a mix-up on the | field. The only goal scored during . this period was one by Sandercock of Stratford. ~The second period was character- ized by the same hard and persistent -checking, but toward the end of the period play began to be more open. Play was fast and tested the wind of the two teams to the utmost. Strat- ford scored three more goals in this period, two by Cline and one by San- dercock. Stratford kept up the scoring at the beginning of the third period with two more by Cline. In this period remarks began to be made about Stevens of St. Marys, who played goal for Strat- ford. The coolness with which he stopped a very hot shot from Fort was remarkable. His play throughout the game was brilliant. Toward the end of the period Colquhoun scored Sim- coe's initial counter, but before the end of the period Graper in a scuffle got another in for Stratford. So that the fourth period began with the heavy score of 7--1 against the home team. And Cline raised this in a few minutes by another goal. : ; Murdoch followed with one for Sim- coe, but Noice came back with still another for the visitors. Simcoe scor- ed the last goal in a very brilliant piece of lacrosse. Sandercock of the Stratford team had the ball danger- ously close to the Simcoe goal when he was vigorously attacked by Morri- his opponent's shoulder, hit his stick and dislodged the ball. Picking it up he passed to Murdoch, who made a brilliant run and passed to Fort in _ front of Stratford's goal. With a down- _. ward stroke Fort placed itin the net. And the game ended 9--3 in favor of Stratford. In the fourth period, Art West, in a charge down the field, was checked and had the wind knocked out of him, but was able to resume play. Later in the period Gordon of - player. son of Simcoe who, by a pass over | ond home, ES attend was accidentally struck in the mouth by the butt-end of a stick and it was feared that he had lost some teeth. But this proved not to be the case. To an onlooker Simcoe's defeat was due, not to inferiority of play, for in- dividually practically every man on the field played well and their stay- ing powers were remarkable. More- over, their checking was very effec- tive. It appeared rather than their failure to win was due to the fact that they did not keep all their op- ponents covered when under attack. The Stratford players seemed always to have some uncovered member of their team to pass the ball to when- ever they got it. On the other hand, when a Simcoe player got the ball he often looked in vain for a Simcoe player who did not have a Stratford player beside him. This enabled Stratford to develop a passing game -- that at times was well done. Cline, _an old lacrosse player not in the best | of health, played outside home for Stratford, scored more than half of ; CRLLOUS ORF the visitors' goals, and yet did not have enough running to do to keep him warm. But of course against a strong team. goalie, centre and second home were Simcoe was up players on the St. Marys team when } that team won the championship of Ontario. And when opponents are strong the chances for brilliant open play are few. - But Simcoe supporters could not but be proud of the new Simcoe lacrosse team. The improve- ment in their play is very marked. And this is true of practically every McDiarmid, a new player, showed remarkable coolness at cover point, and promises well. The ma- terial is all there. All that is needed ig good. coaching. A good coach would make the team a winner. Strat- ford has a very excellent coach in Mr. A. M. Hyde, who accompanied the ; visitors to Simcoe yesterday.

Our personal opinion, however, and possibly that of many others is that the first report of the affair was suf- ficient for the 'public. It is just such incidents. that are made the main items of news in most daily papers of today and are anything but elevating, especially to those of the younger generation. Alex Hodge is deserving of great credit for his bravery, al- though as he states, it was a case of either one or the other, neither one asking any quarter or suggesting an armistice. The Toronto Star of Mon- day had a full page of sketches, which would have a tendency to stir, up the mind of younsters and youths, and like a lot of the movie pictures, there is too much of the sensational and not enough of the educational placed before the rising generation of today. * * * And that's that!
