This tour- nament will be held during the Easter week vacation period and is open to any team anywhere. All games will be played in the Goderich Memorial Arena.

The Lions play the part of per- fect hosts as each team will be served lunch on day that they are scheduled to play. If necessary, teams that are forced to remain in Goderich to play on the foll- owing day will be given a night's lodging by the townspeople of the county town.

The calibre of hockey that these young teams produce is truly amazing.

Colts Expect To Meet :Flyers In Group Semis According to the unofficial standing compiled by the Clinton News-Reccad, Clinton Colts will sleet Centralia Flyers in the . group semi-finals which are ex- pected to commence early next week. The other series will see Milverton and Mitchell hooking up, The semi-finals will be a best cif five with the group finals a best of seven affair, Milverton and Centralia fin- ished with 26 points each but the Milverton, club have the honour of ending up on top with a better goal average. Following the rules set by the OHA Vilverton has an average of .565 as compered to Centralia's .560. Mitchell with their 3-0 victory over New Ham- burg last evening moved into a fourth place tie with the Burgers and here again when the aver- ages were taken Mitchell won the coveted playoffspot with .534 to New Hamburg's .479. The Colts' management expect that group convener Dave Pink- ney will call a meeting of the four teams concerned and that the playoff dates •will be set at that time. There has been some speculat- ion concerning the playing of a game that was awarded to the Clinton Electres over New Ham- burg because the latter team fail- ed to appear for a scheduled game. Reports coming from the Mitchell Legionnaires' executive states that they have contacted the OHA officials who have con- firmed the original decision which is in accordance with the rules of the OHA and that the game will be recorded as a win for Clinton Eleetras. Midgets Tie Wingharn Second Game Tonight Clinton Lions Midgets started their playoffs last evening in Wingham, when they held the Wingham Midgets to a 7-7 tie.

MITCHELL SWAMPS COLTS 16-4 TO END SEASON SCHEDULE Mitchell Legionnaires could do no wrong on Monday evening and they humbled our Clinton Colts 16-4. Fryer proved to be the big gun of the game as he fired seven goals past Bill Nediger; Powell also had a big night picking up eight points. The game meant nothing to Clinton as they had secured third position, with their victory over Centralia Flyers on Saturday and they were not check- ing with the persistency that has been their custom during the past few games. Mitchell, with a chance of gaining the last playoff spot made no mistakes and played inspired hockey taking full ad- vantage of the Colts' loose play. Bill Nediger had a busy night and can not be blamed for the number of pucks that eluded him. He was given little or no protec- tion and often stopped two or three shots before being finally scored upon. Malt Edgar joined Doug Bartliff on the sidelines for this game. Both players are battling the 'flu, and it is hoped that they will be on hand for the playoff opener. Clinton Colts: goal Nediger, de- fence, K. Colquhoun, Wilson; cen- tre, McEwan; wings, Hanly, M.

It was a dream come true to the rabid fans to see Randy Ellis and Company defeated after they had beaten the Colts on their three previous meetings. This game was different from the opening faceoff. The Colts were playing heads-up hockey all the time and didn't give their op- ponents many opportunities to get organized. Clinton scored two un- answered goals in the first period and that was their margin of vic- tory as both teams scored twice in the second and third. One big highlight of the game was the defensive play of the en- tire team, especially in the first period when they played with two men short for a full two minutes and kept the Flyers off the score sheet. Bill Nediger came up with a brilliant effort. He made terrific stops of close-in shots by Ellis, Todd, Embury and Vezina. Doug Bartliff and Bill Hanley were missing from the lineup but Johnny Wilson took over Doug's spot, Bill Counter was switched from centre to right wing and Don Strong moved back to centre. These moves paid off. as all three played good games. The teams battled on even terms until the 16:15 mark of the first period when Edgar scored after Freeman had stopped a hard shot from McEwan's stick and had al- lowed the rebound to get away. Mait sailed in and blasted a hard shot into the twine before Free- man could get set. Eddie Dolmage and "Pete" Counter combined a minute later to make it 2-0, Dol- mage scoring on Counter's pass from the corner. The Colts made the score 3.0 at 4:15 of the second; McEwan sank an ankle high shot from the left boards, "Dan" Coiquhoun drawing an assist. Dolmage scored his second goal on a play that Don Strong set up. Freeman was caught ten feet in front of his net on this one and Ellis got in be- hind him to take Strong's perfect pass and flipped the puck into the twine. Embury finally put the Flyers into the scoring column as he swung in from right wing and whipped a hard shot past Nediger. Ellis added another just before the end of the period, This goal was disputed with the contention that Ellis was in the goal crease when he took the pass but Referee Higgins was on top of the play and the goal was allowed. Centralia pulled within one goal of the Colts early in the final per- iod. Pumple, the big Centralia rearguard, counted from point blank range as Centralia staged an opening power play. Murray Colquhoun got that one back at 7;10 after Johnny Wilson had carried the puck deep into Centralia territory and passed to Murray who was in the open 15 feet in front of the net. Centralia threatened again when Ellis Scored but Edgar scored his second goal of the night at 14.06 to take all the sting out of the Centralia at- tack. "Danny" Colquhoun was given a ten-minute misconduct penalty when he disputed Referee Higgins' ability but there was only ten sec- ends remaining in the game and Centralia was unable to get a play under way, Clinthri Colts: goal, Nediger; de- fence, K, Colquhoun, Wilson; cen- tre, McEwan; wings, Edgar, M. Colquhoun; subs, Strong, nohnage, Counter, Schoenhals, May, Centralia, Flyers: goal, Freemen; defence, Pumple, Needham; centre, Vezina; wings, Embury, Todd; Town Council Grants $1,000 To Legion (Continued from Page One) purposes: The following named persons were appointed to offices named to serve from the 15th day of February 1953 to the 15th day of February 1954 or until their successors have been appointed: L.
