Action outweighed the drama and comedy by a consid­ erable margin as the Goderich club ’invaded Exeter again and went home with another 9-2 score. Climax to the thriller came near th’e end of tlie third period when bedlam broke loose in full fury as fans stormed the ice and players, spectators and the referee had a * real do. And to think it was- all seen for two 'bits. What a shame! If the action could have been fore­ seen a good promoter would have netted the .Minor Hockey in Exeter enough to get them out of the red, much to' Secretary ‘Bill Allison’s de­ light, for several years to come. The first shift of the Exeter de­ fence,. Tuckey and Fletcher, are showing improvement every time out and are getting down to some -clean solid body-checking. Despite two broken stepped into consistently, played while in a plaster good effort. The first ' period gave evidence of the climaxing scene as several of the players had minor set tOo’s and rough stuff was let go by the . ref. Mero and. Don Warren gave the •Goderich lads a two-goal lead. Mero grabbed off two more in the second and lAAlin, added ' another while 'Hennessey scored from a scramble to end the period at 5-2. into the net early in the third and Westlake and 'Chantier added an­ other two before ■ Exeter retaliated on Jim.Hayter’s goal. Near the end of the period when Newcombe knocked over Jim Hay- ter the .fest of the lads all piled in and Westlake took to Dick Wat­ son for slashing him a few minutes ribs, Captain Tuckey the Goderich forwards Dick Watson also nursing his right hand cast and turned in a i goals than they garnered couldn't seem to get tfte old heel behind 'Swan.

Doug Fletcher, on the Exeter de­ fence turned in a good game, He handed out Several nice body checks and. did a lot of good check­ ing at the blue line, His partner, Ross Tuckey, also showed up well, U,p front, Jim Hayter played his usual hard working game and did double shift when Jack Hennessey was clipped over the eye in the first period which later took three stitches, Hennessey returned to the game in the second. # Bissett bulged the hemp four times while 'Newcombe got three and D.

The Exeter team looked much ' better than in any of their previous staffs and gave the Clinton lads quite -a tussle. For Midget hockey the young lads put on a real show of speed and excitement and it was by far the best Midget tilt this year . at’ the arena. The first .period was a fast scrappy affair with both sides giv­ ing Mthe goalies some anxious mom­ ents. Dana Watson went off for boarding near the end of the per­ iod and the Clinton lads tried des­ perately to score and continued until the teams were at full strength in the second. Another Exeter pen- - alty to HopcrOft gave Clinton the edge again but they Were held off successfully.
