The ice was quite* sticky and at times it was quite im­ possible to play good hockey. Snell opened the scoring for Exeter in the first period when a shot from the blue line bounded over Elliott's stick. In the second period Clinton evened things up on a shot from the blue line. The third period was scoreless • as were three overtime sessions. Ford in goal played a great game while the others were in there all the time. Elliott ana Kennedy formed a strong defense for Clinton and the Exeter hoys found them quite hard to get by. A few penal­ ities were handed out by the refer­ ee, AL McDonnell. During the ov­ ertime both teams played cautious hockey with each team waiting for the breaks but they never came. The Exeter boys put up a great game and showed up well against the team that beat Mitchell the prev­ ious evening. ‘S SERVICE ATISFACTION Why Pay More?
