Clarence Husband added 6, Bill Brynildson 4, Stevens 4, Gowda 3, Galbraith 2 and Robert Stoner 2, while McLeod was scoreless. …………………………………………………… Saskatchewan was declared the Rigby champ by virtue of its greater margin of victory in its game against Alberta, which occurred only because officials forced an overtime despite the Huskies having won in regulation time. The Green and Gold noted that “both games were fast, hammer-and-tongs battles. The team missed two of the regular players who were unable to travel, but they refused to be discouraged and upheld the reputation of the University for hard and clean playing. At both Universities, the boys received a fine reception.”
