Notes by u. No.
II looked like a close game for the
first Few minutes, but the prospects
~ changed.
idney Mccullough was in rare
form and Gagged eight field goals ant
six fouls. The hold out will be a BIZ
factor in all Defance's games thi
year.
Young Friel has the ear marks o
a star. That long field goal he rip
ped off certainly was a sumner Keel
your eye on him Mr. First Team man
ager
Salmon Shields was used at guarC
and showed that he has not gon'
back very far by caging two Ions
goals.
Mede Elder is a pretty reliable fou
foster. He outshot Mccullough il
this respect in their regular contes
by one free toss. but '"Sid" surely di'
heave some neat field goals.
Although Lacey scored but one goa
It was beauty Joe seldom ge.
shut out and is always on hand whel
Defiance starts passing.
w. Buchannon and Andrews seen
to be a good set Of defence men. De
fiance's fast forwads scored but on
goal on this promising pair.
Charley McDonough copped one o
his teams tallies big Six" ais
played a good floor game.
A. Buchacnon was shut out uati
the last few minutes of play when h
made a difficult goal on Defiance
captain. You have to step some {
score on that little sorrel top, e
Abbey?
Casey and Hoch Glen did not fie
ure in the scoring. Cheer up boys
there are plenty more games coming
"Biz" Werner received severa
league offers after Saturdays pei
formance but cannot accept on aC
count of business esponsibilities.
The third team has some class
men. Friel and the Rowe twins az
a fast and clever trio.
Jack Carney is developing into
star. Wait until Tuesday night Jch'
for YOU will then meet your waterlo
in Eddie Mulhern.
