feated the Berlin Canadians here
this evening to Q. Displaying a
smooth passing game and expert
skating, the visitors appeared to have
a. strong outfit but the superb de-
tense Of the locals combined with the
classy stick handling Of the Corri-
veau brothers gave the st. Jean team
the edge.
Waterville, handicapped by the alb
sence of Ouellette and llamel, was
content to play a defensive game for
the most part but whenever an OPEN
ing appeared they jumped and won
the game in this manner. Art Cor
riveau was the hest man on the ice
as he skated his head off and his two
goals We're gems. AL Corriveau, play
ing his fist game here, was not far
behind his brother in effectiveness
and his frequent dashes up the ice
were all that anyone could wish in
the way of aggressive hockey. Joe
Maltais, the nervy little goal guar
dian stopped many wicked shots and
his work was of the highest order.
For the Berlinites A. Rivard and

many a scare into the st. Jean ranks
by their speed and snappy passing.
