LOSER, 6 To z.
Portage Lakes Too Fast For Much
HeraIded Visitors

/ The Cleveland Athletic club hockey
team, claimants of the amateur hockey
championship OF the United States and
generally regarded as being the fore
most American hockey team, went
down to defeat before the Portage
Lakes OF Houghton last evening in the
Amphidrome by a score of 8 10 , in the
fastest exhibition of hockey seen here
this winter.
The visiting seven was not as weak
as the score Of to would indicate
ticular was of the highest class. Ii
outplayed the home team in the i'm
portant matter of combination play
and had il not been for the wonderful
goal tending of Haug, the visitors
might have come out on the long enu
of the score.
Game Is Very Clean.
The game was a remarkably clean
exhibition of the great winter sport.
At no time did the game get as rough
as the Duluth game and there were no
players injured. The only time trouble
seemed imminent was when Brook
banks hit Haas with his stick and the
Houghton center dropped his club and
sailed into the opposing player with
his fists. Chaput was given two min
utes for a minor offensc later in the
game. these being the only penalties
metcd out.
Weak on Combination.
The weakness of the Portage Lakes
was in combination play. Scores of
times after two of the local forwards
had worked the puck through the OPP
posing defense pass would go wrong
in front of the net and the puck would
slide harmlessly to one side Hogan
played too much on the forward line.
Haug and Sicotte starred for the
home team, both playing great games.
Haug was at his best and his work
in clearing the net after stopping hard
shots proved of the highest class. ST.
cote was the brightest star of the
game. He was easily the fastest man
on the ice. Sicotte mixed up in most
of the combination plays and his
shooting from his wing would have
been responsible for many more
scores had not Chapman been playing
a great game.
Story of the Game.
The game was called shortly after
$3.50 by Referee "Cooney" Shields. ON
the initial face-off Cleveland secured
the puck and the play for the first
minute or two was entirely i'm the
home teams territory. Haas then got
the puck and rushed it from behind
his own goal into the visiting teams
ice. Sicotte took pass from him near
the net and registered the first score
Of the game.
Eleven minutes Of scOreless hockey
interviewed before the next score
which was made by Sicotte. The
left wing secured the puck
in his own half of the ice and rushed
It down the ice. Suddenly when about
half way down he drove a terrific shot
straight at Chapman's head and the
Cleveland net guardian in trying to
protect his face with his hand, de-
iected the puck into the net.
Poland, the visiting teams center,
netted the visitors first score from
middle ice soon after the starting OF
play again, the puck sliding between
Iaug's legs.
Chaput took a pass from Sicotte four
minutes later and scored his first point
Tor the evening, making the count 3
10 I, and Haas, after he returned to
he game from his two minute banish-
ncnt, hammered the puck into the net
rom scrimmage for the last score
If the first half. This came just one
minute before time was called, the
score standing to I.
Second HALF Faster.
Tho second half was even faster
han the first, the visiting seven Seem
ing to have grown used to the strange
rink and to be playing faster hockey.
While Chaput was serving two min
Ites on the bench, seven minutes after
he beginning of the half, Killillay of
he visitors scored from a scrimmagc,
making the count To ..
Eight minutes later Chaput took -
pass from Sicottc after the wing man
had worked the puck into the Cleve-
land territory and Chaput registered
his second goal and the home teams
fifth. This was fifteen minutes before
the close Of the half.
Just before the close OF the game,
with only half minute to spare. Haas
scored again from a scrmmage. max
