varsity letter through his brilliant work
last night. Crawford went into the
game for Quaker City when It was
discovered that Wanamakcr. the rrgu-
lar left wing. would be unable to play.
In addition TO his great defensive work

season and last nights win was the
second straight over the New York

Sttute. made the winning point.
Captain Eddie Hill was the individual
star. His work at all times was bril-
liant and he thrilled the large crowd

ice. 1t was the largest crowd that
witnessed an ice hockey game here this
year. And this gathering was treated
to high grade brand of ice hockey.

much improved team. He had plenty
set a killing pace. He shot in sub
stitutcS continually in the hope of wear
ing down the we'll coached Quaker city

Workers. appeared. but there wasn't a
change in the home lineup.
Strong on Defensive
With the return Of Wanamakcr and
the expected reinstatement of Werner
Schnaar, Quaker City will present a
team the equal of any in the East.
Coach Dion expects to have his full
strength in the games against Toronto

day evenings.

almost perfect There was no scoring

when he made dazzling shot from the
