SUPCRIORS JOUR EY TO PORT WELELALP SUNDAY The Superiors will try and even the score against the strong Fort William Beavers! sixtet Sunday, January 27th at 2.00 P.M, in the Fort William Gardens, Anyone planning.on driving to the Lake- head this weekend, why not plan on seeing this game and giving the Superiors some vocal support. The game should be a good one as Terrace Bay will be out to avenge a 6-3 loss administered by the Beavers earlier this season in our Arena, This game should also prove just how good our big line really is, and if they're on, the 'Beavers will have their hands full. Let's have a fair representation of fans from Terrace Bay on hand to watch this game at Fort William Sunday, Jan. 27th at 2.00 P.M. 0-0-0 THANKYOU - SUPERIORS May we of Terrace Bay take time out to give a vote of thanks to the 'Valiant ' 12! of our local Superiors for playing such fine hockey, for so long, against so many A Loyal Hockey Fan 0-0-0 REPORT ON THE NORTH SHORE HOCKEY LEAGUE by Peter BE, Mazza It is with regret that the intent of this colum has been misinterpreted, and because of this, excerpts have been mis- construed, This reporter wishes it known that the column appearing in previous issues of the News under the heading "North Shore Hockey League - Weekly Bulletin" was not compiled from any special releases originating from the offices of President A. J. Currie or Secretary J. HE. Broughton of the North Shore Hockey League. As a Governor representing the community of Terrace Bay on the Board of Governors of the North Shore Hockey League, this reporter deems it his duty to the League to keep alive the interest of the League across the North Shore and particularly in the community he represents. Further, this reporter believes that as .a community representative it is his duty to "report to the people" in a like manner to "City's Business by the Mayor" or "Nation's Business by the (cont'd, next colum) Sont "sh. Eig. § President" which programmes ardent politic- ians follow religiously, After all, North Shore Hockey League business is no "small PB edie ' potatoes" when one realizes that 27,630.16 went through the Treasurer's books last season, Furthermore, these monies were accumulated from the pockets of ardent fans, and by this token, these people are entitled to be kept abreast on the functions of the League to which indirectly they hold membership. No member of the Board of Governors is oblizated to report to the community he represents through the medium of his towm's circular, As a gesture this reporter has sacrificed of his time to prepare articles taken from the League's Constitution, C.A.H.A. Rule Book or deliberated at meetings. Ours is not a secret organization, there- fore the public is entitled to know what is going on with their League in conducting the affairs of intermediate hockey across the North Shore. It has recently been announced through the office of Secretary J. E. Broughton that through the kindness of Mr. C. B. Binder, Publisher of the Port Arthur News Chronicle, a Trophy will be presented for the first time this season to the Best Defenceman in the League, This Trophy is to be determined on regular schedule play, and is to be presented on majority vote of the Board of Governors, Trophies for the Most Valuable Player, Most Sportsmanlike Player and Rookie of the Year are determined on majority vote of Member Clubs through the votes of their players. Trophies for the Leading Scorer and the Best Goalkeeper are based on the Statistician's records, The two wrist watches presented by C. R. Strachan will be presented to those entitled to same when the secret votes of the Board of Governors are opened by President Currie and Secretary Broughton immediately following the end of the schedule (February 19th). Hockey - the national sport of Canadians - brings much enjoyment to fans. On the other hand, kids putting on the "show" for your pleasure are in peril for sixty minutes while on the ice, These showmen are to be admired for their efforts in that "the show must go on" notwith- standing the fact that injuries must be considered secondary to their love of playing hockey. Supreme sacrifices have been offered on the ice surface, and in a lesser degree, players have sustained critical injuries that have barred them from hockey either for life or for the season, From reports, both the Nipigon Flyers and the Terrace Bay Superiors are under handicap (cont'd, page 9)
