The first period saw both squads battle it out on very even tennis. with,euch notching one goal be» fore the period ended. W.K.S. open- ed the scoring at 8:25 when Kennedy picked up a pass from Nicholson to solo in and score a nice goal, while L. Schurman got the Suinuierside tally at 11:21. The goa] was scored oil a lovely solo effort by Scliurmaii when he car- ried the puck from hind his own blue line to stickhan le through practically the whole opposing team and pot a really well eamed goal. W.K.S. were one man short

at the time when Nicholson was waved off for slashing. . Summerside held a definite ad-

vantage over their opponents in the two final periods. ouishooting their opponents 20 in each. The second period scoring was by J. Schulitnail and L. Schurman, both getting their goals on nice solo ef- forts from centre ice. L. Schunrnan tallied his third goal of the game at 12:15 of the third period when he banged in J.
