A scintillating front line that Opened up in the second period and swept in on the Saskatoon net time after time, gave the fleet grey Hawks from the far east a goal in the init- ial period of Saturday XIIEIWS game and two in the last frame, while a sturdy, rock-ribbed defence in Bill Gill and Len Barrage with the im- perturbabls Jimmie Foster in the nets, turned back every scoring thrust the hard-hitting Quakers threw out.

Doke McDonald, diminutive cen- tre and a whirlwind on skates, went through the Quaker defence almost at will to drill shots at Cooney Wood and keep the Prairie defence worried.

Both Hawk front lines worked to perfection, timing passes accurately and drilling bullet-like drives to all corners of the Quaker goal. Only superb net-minding on the part of Wood saved, the Prairie squad from a worse defeat.

Gill and Burrage were a stone- wall on defence and when the Sask- atoon attacks managed to break through they were usually boxed so

The Hawks put on their fast front line of McDonald, James and Mc- Manus. The shifty little Hawk cen- tre sifted through the Quaker squad to take a. pot shot. at Wood and came in fast to crash into the goal keeper. Both went w the ice in a tangle of arms, legs, and hockey
