The United States thus earns the right to meet the Canadians; in the final. In the first period the Swedes| adopted tactics similar to those they used against Canada, playing four| men on the defense and apparently being concerned more with keeping down the score than in trying to reach/ the American goal. The first score tor America came after two uuunutes) of play+in a beautiful sprint down the| \ice by Abel. For the next five minutes there were some exciting exchanges| and the game became rough. | Holmkvist, the Swedish captain,| was put off the ice for two minutes by referee Louick of Belgium, Presi-| dent of the International Hockey Union, for slashing Drury across the back. McCarthy scored the second goal after seven minutes of play. EEEEEEEEEE | - Lt g SllslsTisE] ond period. The Swedes were entire- 1y on the defensive and the puck was in their territory most of the time, Poth Abel and Small, the American defenses, took up positions far be- yond mid-ice, backing up their for- wards, who were attacking through- out. The Swedes are very fast skaters but poor handlers of the stick, and were unable to keep the puck in their possession for any length of time. Ohlson, the Swedish goal keeper, was bombarded with shots during the en- tire 20-minute period, and stopped at least 25 or 30. Abel was moved up into the line from the defense and accounted for thiree of the seven goals scored for the United States during that period. Summary of goals—aAbel scored the sixth, ninth and evelenth; Rrury the seventh and eighth; McCarthy the tenth, and Rice the twelfth. In the third period Sinnott replaced Rice at left wing and the gameslowed up, both teams being very tired after the pace set in the first two periods. The Swedes, however, seemed a little the fresher. Drury scored the first goal in this period for America after seven minutes of play. The teams battled for three minutes theréafter without scoring, when the Swedish defense crumpled and the Americans piled up seven goals in the last ten minutes. Both Abel and Small again moved up into line to re- lieve Drury and McCarthy. Summary of goals—Drury scored the: thirteenth, eighteenth and twen- tieth; Sinnott the fourteenth; Abel the fifteenth and seventeenth; Me- Carthy the sixteenth, and Rice the nineteenth, Canada 19, Great Britain 2. The Canadian hockey team won its way into the finals of the Olympic strong defense work ‘of Munroe and Ramsay. Although the Britishers started three fresh men in this period —Jukes and Cuthbert on defense and Clarkson in the forward line—Canada had no trouble in reaching the net six times. The third period was uneventful, the Canadians playinga smotth cob- bination game without undue exertion adding 7 goals to their total and win- ning the match 19 to 2. The warm sun made fast playing tiring, as the ice was sloppy ioward the end of the match.

Today was the first tome the Can- adians had been scored against since their arrival in Europe. The line-up of the two teams was: Canada: Goal, Collett; defemses, Munro and Ramsay; center, Smith; left wing, Watson; right wing, McCaf- fery. Great Britain: Goal, Carr Harris; defenses, Pitblado and Holmes; cen- ter, E. Carruthers; left wing, C. Car- ruthers; right wing, Sexton. The British put up a surprisingly effective game, both on defense and attack, against the strong Canadian combination, which started out as though it intended to pile up one of the 30-to-0 scores to which it has ac- customed the Olympic spectators. Smith, the Canadian left wing, got the puck from the first face-off and pass- ed to McCaffery, who scored before 10 seconds had elapsed. Later Watson pushed the puck into the British net from scrimmage. | Smith scored on a pass from Watson. | Charles Carruthers, British right wing, then brought the spectators to their feet by catching Collett, the Canadian goal keeper, asleep and scoring with a shot that apparently could have been stgpped.
