Oombina'tion. head- »work, and staying power have all been improved upon, and in this game, their checking back was ’done to perfection, every man fol- lowing his check down the ice, so that not an Owen Sound man was leftumcovered, with the chance of havmg an unopposed shot on the Durham nets. The scoring end, too, worked to perfection, Falk- ingham, at centre, getting three: Saunders, at right, one; and Cow- an, rover, two. While Rowland, at left, cannot be credited with a tally still he was there with the goods, and though he had several shots on goal that were true enough, he It was .a hard game to lose, no doubt but from the playing of the teams, the victory went to the one that earned it, and the Owen Sound seven were by no means disgraced when they dropped the contest to the bhue and white. Throughout the entire game, they were always on the job, .but were not the equal of the Durhams in either individual or team play, or in staying power. The next tally went to Owen Sound in one minute, and for the next eight minutes, some of the prettiest hockey of the game was indulged inâ€"the Owen Sound‘ team frantically endeavoring to even‘ the score, and the Durhams to ob- tain a greater lead.

Fully fifteen hundred people from Owen Sound and vicinity, includ- ing about two hundred from Dur- ham and intermediate points, wit- nessed the match, which according to the reports of the Owen Sound papers, was the fastest ever play- ed in that place in a good many seasons, and was a clean-cut vic- tory for the visitors, who outclass- ed their opponents at every stage of the game.
