ACLOSE GAME
“IN SMITHERS...

Hazelton Shows Great Speed,
-But is Unlucky and Loses
By One Goal to Two.”

PLAYEDIN EARLY MORNING

It was 11 p.m, on Saturday
before the train carrying the
Hazelton’ hockey team . and a

| large crowd of supporters pulled |,

into Smithers, and the game did
not start” until 2.20, owing to,
trouble with the lights,

After seven minutes of play,
Aldous broke through and scored
for Smithera. When the puck
was again faced off, he slammed
it into the air and it rolled into
the Hazelton goal while the goal-
keeper, who did not hear the
whistle, was leaning on his stick,

in conversation with. the umpire.

Although ‘the -seore | was ‘2-0,
Hazelton appeared to have the
best of the play. Before’ the
period closed North netted the|
puck, but the. referee faced off,
for a trip, instead of allowing|
Hazelton its play before. blowing
hia whistle. ‘ Taylor meant well,
but his decision; lost a goal which
would have made the acore a tie

From the. face off, in the. see
ond period, North . broke. _BWaYy
and-scored for- Hazelton; and thayy;
boys tried hard tu tepeat.. + To-
wards the close of this period
Smithers appeared to be going
better, but neither team ‘scored.
In the final period Hazelton came
out determined to win, but the
defence tactics of the home team’
rendered their goal impregnable.
Aldous worked like. a ‘demon,
The official score was 2-1,

The feature of the game was
the manner in which Reber and
Irwin checked the rushes of Ald-
ous, keeping that redoubtable
player at bay throughout, There
was very little rooting, the play

‘being so fast the crowd simply

stood and watched. : |
More combination play on Ha-

' gelton’s part would have made a

difference in the score, in the
opinion of many... Reber made
many a hard rush, and was un-
fortunate in not scoring. Irwin,
Sinelair, North ‘and Blyth each
had several shots they were un-
able to net. With team work,
our boys should take the measure
of Smithers when they meet | ;
again.
