The match last night was hard- fought and rugged throughout. It was anybodyb game upuntil the dying minutes 0f the third period when the score stood at 7-7.

Aylward and Andrews, two sharp- shooters of Milton's first firing line who milled most of the Hor- nets’ lnalkers, pushed in the win- ning goal after a pretty passing play that bewildered the Mount Stmvart rearguord.
