The trophy was originally but because several players were un- able to participate in all the games it was decmed advisable by Super- intendent Dwight 8kinner and Coach Raynard Anderson to select the man who had been of the greatest all- around value and award the hand- some statuette to him.

It is almost certain that the scheduled Corbin Screw-Corbin Cab- jnet Lock game will not be played since it will not make material dif- ference in the team standing in the league. If this is the case the standing aa printed here will be the final standing of the Dusty league and LaHar will be the individual| acoring champion. Saturday night's games were rec- ord-breakers for scoring. When Andy Yakubowltz scored 15 goals in the first game of the night, it was the opinion of many of the fans who followed the sport since the beginning of the league four years ago that this record had not been equaled. Much of the interest in the game itself was lost through the individual race. Results of the games were as fol- lows: Screw Shop 49, Landers 9, P. & F. Corbins 32, Stanley Rule 27, Stanley Works 37, Corbin Cabinet Lock 12, Fafnirs 57, Newmatics 26. Yakubowitz va. Landers Landers, the team which started the league race this year with four victories in succession and was able to win only once since then, took another beating. For 18 minutes of the game it was held scoreleas from the field and from the foul line, When the Universals finally game through for their first point, a foul goal, the score was 25 to 1.

Third Place Tic The Corbin Cabinct Lock team pulled an unusual one when it led 12 to 11 at half time and was un- able to scoro another point after that. The result was a 87 to 12 beat- ing for the Cabinet Makers. Stanley Works won a third place tie, a great improvement over last year's stand- ing. The game was not so interesting. Neither team showed very much. Murphy and Hagis did most of the Stanley Works scoring. Wolfer, the “kid” forward on the Cabinet team. did the best work for the “Chief- less” Cabinet Lock team.
