I registering a Surprise upset before a crowd of some fans rangers forced the play to a squad of Over confident elks and skated off the ice with a Well merited Victory. Rangers held the Edge on the opening period with the balance of the game fairly evenly divided in a fitful display of Good and bad hockey.

Recently we cleaned out our desk and mentioned in this column several interesting things we had accumulated Over a period of years. One referred to the minute Book of the Winnipeg intercollegiate football association dating Back to 1892, and we quoted one entry which had us puzzled. It read the referee be empowered to Call a foul when he sees our Good Friend prof. Fred Clark who was Secretary of that organization for Many years starting with the inaugural 1892 meeting has obligingly Clari fied the situation with the following explanation i can easily imagine that you would be amused and perhaps puzzled when you came across the reference which you quote in re Gard to the referee s Power to can fouls. But r can recall quite Well now that you mention the change the old ruling under which we played. For some reason or other May perhaps have been to re Duce the number of stops to the referee was not expected to Call a foul unless it was called and claimed by some player. If no such claim was made play went right on and it did often happen that a Side against which the foul had been better on if it overlooked the foul and kept right on playing cessation of play merely gave their opponents the Opportunity to steady themselves and reset their defence. I must confess i do not recall the arguments that made which resulted in the in the third when they relaxed slightly and grew sloppily slow in front of their own nets. That one mistake was the Only real weak Ness in the Elmwood performance but was almost fatal in setting up most of the blues scoring chances. In a game which featured Only three penalties in 60 i minutes of blazing hockey and for Only slight misdemeanours Elmwood went to work Early and 2-.1 at the end of the first went ahead 6-3 through the second and held their own half Way through the third before slackening off to allow two goals which came within one Point of timing the score. Although the blues defence per formed far from brilliantly and 3-Oalie Hoot Gibson was alternately lot and cold Elmwood have Tho satisfaction of knowing they paid off for a testimonial dinner tendered by fans thursday in the Way hey organized before each score. Scoring was divided through two evenly balanced front As Lawrie Smith scored twice while working with de Law and Sammy Leafs Triumph continued on Page 20 ight and he blanketed half a dozen Brandon shots that looked like sure goals. Allan Hay scored the overtime goal which gave the Winnipeg squad he Victory. It was the result of a Solo Rush entire bran Don team and his shot beat Henry at the seven minute Mark. Brandon surged round the Hanger net As the period faded belting the puck at Greenway but the Winnipeg squad emerged with the win. Rangers staged a last minute offensive As the period closed with Henry rising brilliantly to the occasion after Shearer Drew a pen Alty. A breakaway by the rangers Forward string with Only Henry to beat brought the crowd to its feet but sugar Jim was equal to the emergency. Was playing the final fixture of a two night stand and did not appear at the Peak of condition. What appeared to be a sure goal for rangers in the first period was not counted due to the goal Umpire reversing his decision a Long shot by fast from the Brandon Blue line seemed to slip behind Henry and Bounce out of where no shutouts bloomed before there now Bloom two. That s in the record of Chicago Black Hawks who demoted their goalie Mike Karakas just after Christmas and brought up Paul , Winnipeg and Selkirk product Paul let in four goals in each of his first two games but in the last five has let in but a total of eight posting As mentioned a couple of shutouts a feat the Hawks had not previously achieved this season.
