96 - THE COLLEGIATE start to finish. Although Forest had periodical awakenings they could not cope with the Lellel crew. Macklin and Manore seemed to think that this period was theirs as they were shooting goals at will. Macklin scored two in this period and Manure scored three. Manore scored the last goal of the game just before Robinson sounded the final bell. Referee Robinson kept the game well in hand. He gave two penal- ties both being on Forest men for heavy checking. The Forest rink is anything but well lighted and this seemed to affect the home lads more than it did the visitors. fThe Collegiate boys work well in the dark.l Burke was the mainstay of the Forest team, he stopped .23 shots during the campaign. Doolittle turned in a good game also. It is hard for the goal tender to see the puck on the Forest sheet as the lights do not refiect properly on the ice. To pick out an individual star on the Sarnia team would be doing an injustice to the team as every player turned in a good game. Macklin and Manore each scored four goals and Harkins one. Old- ham swept down from defence several times but lost the puck at the critical moment. ,lack Manore had more luck as he managed to get llurke's measure four times. Teskey on the forward line was the same as Oldham, he worked hard but could not find the net After the game the boys were the guests of the Principal of the Forest High School, who saw that they were provided with a lunch before they boarded the 6.30 train for home.

After defeating Forest in the semi-finals Sarnia was scheduled to meet Amherstburg in the second round of the XV. 0. S. S. A. hockey tournament. The hockey played by Sarnia was a revelation to some of the spectators and before the game ended they decided that Sar- nia was in an entirely different class. The Sarnia boys were lost for a. time on the strange arena which is square. During the first period the Sarnia boys played rather warily until they had beco1ne accustomed to the uneven ice. Three minutes after the game had commenced Le- Bel rushed from centre and whip- ped one past Bellecour. Macklin repeated the performance three minutes later. The period ended 2-0. The second period was a little more interesting to watch as the Sarnians could not find the oppos- ing nets. Teskey scored the only goal of the period. ln the third period Hill Richard- son made his debut in Teskev's posi- tion. liill gave a good account of himself while on the ice. Leliel scored the last goal of the game making the score 5-O. The game was clean not a penalty being hand- ed out to either team. It was hard to pick a star on the Sarnia team. Macklin. l.el-Kel and I-larlsins teamed well on the offensive while Oldham and Manore displayed sofne fine de- fence work.

Amherst- burg didn't look very good in the beginning of the game although

Sarnia was ordered to meet Forest in the semi-finals of the XV. O. S. S. A. Hockey. The first game was play- ed in Sarnia. Forest can thank Burke, in the nets for holding Sar- nia to three counters. Forest was never in the hunt so far as winning the game went. The blue and white forward line back- checked the whole Forest team into the ice. and the defence only came to life at times to liven things up with a rush to the net and a shot to let Burke show the crowd his class. Forest could not get the puck past center ice, their offensive being con- fined mainly to lone rushes by Doo- little, who was the best man for Forest, and an occasional rally for a few strokes by Roche, who was the pick of the visiting forward line. Sarnia's forward line smothered the Forest goal with shots to no avail, and scores were Battened a- gainst the walls behind and around the net. due to some weak shooting from all angles. For the Collegiate Doug. Macklin and John Manore were the pick. lllanore turned in a useful game and looks like a comer. The for- mer Typo stickhandles well, can shoot, has all kinds of pep with his weight and was back checking with the best of them. Oldham did some nice rushing and Harkins featured with some of the most persistent back-checking that has been done this winter Teskey and Kennedy worked in well. b Sarnia piled the Forest defence up around the net but could not score. Macklin took a long shot at Burke. the puck deflecting in off Doolittle for the first count. Har- kins banged in number two for the home hopes when he picked up a long pass from Macklin. ln the second period Manore scored on a pass from Teskey and Bill Oldham bulged the net with a long hard drive from well out. Sarnia con- tinued to have all the play, but fail- ed to score and in the last period Roche swept the Forest goose aside when he picked off a nice pass from the corner.

The Sarnia squad ar- rived in Forest at three o'clock. They went directly to the rink and donned their uniforms. The Orame commenced at 3.30. The ice surface was in good shape and the local youngsters lost no time in taking advantage of it. ln the first period, Manore start- ed the tallying lone half minute after the commencement of play. Macklin followed one half minute later. Harkins, the diminutive wing man of the Collegiates banged another past Burke, the Forest net guardian. The second period was closer, Forest making a determined effort to hold the visitors in check and during the period the fifty or so rooters present were able to raise a few cheers. Twelve minutes after the commencement of the second, Macklin made a great rush through the Foresters and netted another for Sarnia. The third period was Sarnia from tn

After winning the round from Amherstburg the Collegiate hockey team was scheduled to meet XVood- stock in a sudden-death game in London on Saturday, Mar. 8. Sar- nia was compelled to accept defeat, and in doing so they gave W'ood- stock College the London Free Press Trophy and the Wfestern Ontario Secondary Schools Associa- tion Championship for the third consecutive year. WVoodstock College proved to be a much more experienced team than Sarnia with three members of the team playing Intermediate hockey. Sarnia proved a strong opposition in the first period but in the last two periods were outclassed by Wfood- stock. The College lads were much at home on the large sheet of ice while the Sarnia boys found the large surface a handicap. Sarnia back checked VVoodstock well in the first period. Manore impressed the fans with his sensa- tional playing. VVhitehead scored the opening counter on a bullet-like shot from the wing after seven min- utes of play. Three minutes later Sarnia tied up the score when Macklin scored from a scrimmage. Southern stopped a deadly shot from centre ice which looked like a sure goal. The first period ended 1-1. The second period opened with 'Woodstock lads playing brilliant hockey. iVhitehf-ad put XVoodstock in the lead when he received the puck in a scramble in front of the goal and put it past Southern. Manore rushed forcing jones. the midget XVoodstock goaler, to fall to the ice in order to prevent a goal. Iemmett and XYhitehead each scored a goal in the last few minutes of play. In the third period LeBel scored for Sarnia after three minutes of play. 'Whitehead and -Iemmett scored in turn. Sarnia managed to make a few odd spurts and their forwards tried hard to score but the XYoodstock defence was too effec- tive. Macklin tallied for Sarnia in the last minute of play the game ending 9 to 3. Charles Jemmett, the classy centre player of Yloodstock was the outstanding star of the game. He scored four goals for the winners. There was little to choose between the Sarnia players. Sarnia C.
