Bi11 Hanly erased that one just one minute later taking McEwan's long pass when he was', in the clear. Chessel stopped Hanly's first drive but the rebound got away from the Mitchell goal - tender and Bill drove it home. Gatenby scored his second goal of the night midway through the'sec- ond • period when lie was left un- covered in front of the. Clinton net. Smith repeated Gatenby's efforts a minute later; Flood. passed the puck out from the corner and Smith tipped it past Nediger be- fore he could move to cover the opposite side. Mitchell Legionaires pulled a big upset on Tuesday evening • when they took the measure of Clinton Colts right on their home ice here after losing the, first two games of the series. Thiswin puts the Leg- ionaires right back into the 'thick of things with the next game be- ing played in Mitchell arena to night (Thursday), a winfor the home team would tie the series. Tuesday night's game wasn't as good to watch as the previous game in Mitchell but nevertheless the 800 -odd fans that were on hand were not disappointed. Mit- chell carried the play to the Colts for the first two periods and on the night's play were a little sharp - et in every. department. The Colts, who,have been keeping their men off, stride with their persistent checking in the first two games couldn't match strides with the determined Mitchell crew. Dominions Certain Of Place In OHA Group Finals It ,was half way through the first period before either team could score and it was Bill Gaten- by who finally turned the trick when he flipped the disc, into The cage- when Bill Nediger; was sub- ' merged, in a scramble right on his. doorstep. Smith gave the Legion- aires a 2-0 lead five minutes later combining with his linemates Flood and Gibson. A tripping penalty to Eddie Dolnmage set the stage .for Clinton's first goal. The Colts swarmed all over the Mitchell team in an effort to get back into the game, and were still pressing when Dolmage returned to the ice. Eddie had just joined in the fray when Don Strong picked up the biscuit and drilled it past Chessel with the clock reading just 12 seconds remaining in the period. Mitchell Wins in Second Mitchell sewed things up in the Colts Gradually Take Over The last Mitchell goal seemed to be the turning point in the game as Clinton dominated the play from then till the final bell. The locals stormed around the Mitchell net and only Chessel's brilliant goaltending kept them from tieing the game. During the last period Bun Smith and Danny Colquhoun scored but the Colts couldn't overcome the three goal margin. Nediger was pulled ' for the last 20 seconds of play but even the extra attacker couldn't beat Chessel. Bill Gatenby, Mitchell's flashy right winger was boarded heavily midway through the second period and suffered a broken rib and a bruised kidney, it is not known whether he will be able to play later on in the series or not.

As was expected they have had very little trouble subduing Cent- ralia Flyers in the first two games of their series 7-5 and 11-4, with the next game scheduled for to- night, qnight, Thursday, in Exeter. Larry McCallum and Bob Hart- leib have paced the league leaders in the first two games; Hartleib has scored six goals and McCallum four. Charlie . Westman has been another thorn on Centralia's side, having scored once and assisted on four other ,goals. Clive Wilber- force has been the most effective man in the Centralia lineupwith three goals and one assist to his credit. .-.-s-ai•1-414-11.

A -break or two Saturday night could have very easily re- versed the score. There was little to choose be- tween the two teams, but in win- ning'the Colts shaded the Legion- aires slightly both on the offen- sive and defence. They gave Mit- chell fewer good scoring chances and, the ones that Mitchell did get were ably handed' by Bill Nediger who played his best game of the season to date. On the offensive Clinton's attack was little more dangerous and more consistent as they outshot the home club 35-22. There were 13 penalties handed out but none of them figured in any way in the scoring, both teams being at full strength when all the goals were scored. The Colts were forced to play the entire game without an extra man as unlucky Murray Noble was crashed into the boards just 35 seconds after the openingwhistle and had to retire. Murray injured his .back and on the doctor's ad- vice sat out the -remainder of the game. The teams battled away on even terms through a scoreless first period and it wasn't until 9.11 of the second when Flood took Mc- Nairn's pass, shook off, his check and raced in from the left side to beat Nediger cleanly with a low shot. Seven minutes later, Danny Colquhoun tied things up with a shot from the right boards. The puck seemed to deflect off a Mit- chell player's stick behind the amazed Chessel whe had placed it for the opposite corner. Nediger had really shut the door tight SERGEANTS' AND HONORARY MEMBERS TO RENEW HOCKEY FEUD; FEB. 25 Any person who was fortunate enough to see the last combination hockey game between the honorary members of the Sergeants' Mess,.

Chessel at the other end was equally as stingy with his goals, kicking out very dangerous shots from the sticks of Draper, Smith and McEwan. Colts Win in Third Mitchell started off the final per- iod as if they were going to settle the issue immediately. The period was just one minute old when Weber gave the Legionaires the lead for the second time, Roh- fritsch set up the play. That goal looked mighty big for 34 seconds when Murray Colquhoun, Don Strong and Bun Smith combined to tie the count once again, Colqu- houn blinking the light.. It was veteran Bob Draper who sent the Clinton contingent into a frenzy of delight. Bob picked un a McEwan rebound about ten feet out in front of the Mitchell cage and blasted a shot into the rigging to give the Colts the margin they needed. Don Strong added insur- ance marker just 15 seconds later with the prettiest goal of the night catching the corner after cleverly outmanoeurering the defence. Tlie play during the later part of the period was mostly in the centre ice area with the Colts content to stick to their respective checks and protect their lead. A fight broke out in the last minute of play be- tween Bun Smith and Bruce Ches- sell;. several other playeds joined in and even the spectators took the occasional belt at a player who happened to come too close.
