Powell started the action off on his first turn on the ice by pick- ing up a loose puck a few feet out in front of Bill Nediger and slip- ping•it into the corner of the net. The Smith, McEwan and Draper line stepped on . the ice and im- mediately tied the score, Smith doing the honours. Mitchell then took a 3-1 lead Smith and Gaten- by scoring within a minute of each other to make things look pretty black for Clinton until Bob Draper and Murray Colquhoun found the range to tie the score just before the period ended. In the second Clinton came to life, McEwan scoring twice and the Colts looked as though they would win going away until Drap- er and Bartliff received penalties only nine seconds apart. While they were off Powell clicked for two of his three goals and the game was tied again. This was the turning point of the game, the Legionaires came to life with a bang and the Colts after losing their two goal margin wilted be- fore the attack. Weber gave Mitchell the lead again only to have Draper come right back with the equalizer. Win All Gaines CDCI teams Won all their gam- es during the past week.

The Colts stormed around the Mitchell , net for practically the last 10 minutes but couldn't find a hole in Chessel's armour al- though they hit the goalposts on several shots. Both teams set a torrid pace throughout the game which was very cleanly played and well han- dled by referees McLean and Boussey. Only one minor out- break occurred when Mercer and Flood clashed in the third period, both received 5 minute penalties for roughing. 0 best •of the afternoon, was, a see- saw battle until" the last quarter, when the Clinton team went into high gear to completely outplay the visitors.

The librarian reported 2,366 Colts Should Have Won This One . But Didn't Last Thusday night saw a ter- rific hockey game in the current group semi-finals series between Mitchell and Clinton. This game ended in a 5-5 tie after a ten min- ute overtime period. The game was very close but the Colts de- served to win and with a little luck could have come home with another win. It looked like they had things in the bag when Al May scored in the final period with a little over four minutes of playing time remaining but Smith who has played brilliantly' for Mitchell, tied the score to force the overtime: McEwan then gave the Colts another lead which they couldn't hold as Butson, a junior player playing his first game be- came the Mitchell hero when he shoved a loose puck past Bill Ned- iger with less than half • of the overtime left to play. It was a game that had all the thrills that is expected of playoff hockey. After a scoreless first period Mitchell broke in front at the 11.25 point of the second, Hen - nick converting Gibson's pass in- to a goal when his shot struck,a Clinton player's skate and carom- ed into- the net. Gerry Holmes, playing his first playoff game, was Johnny on the spot" to take Don Strong's passout from the corner and bat the rubber behind Ches- sel. Eddie Dolmage and Gibson each scored. for Mitchell before the period ended giving the Leg- ionaires what looked like a com- fortable lead, especially with Chessel, the Mitchell netminder, turning aside every Clinton thrust. He had to be very good on many shots as the Colts carried the play for the, entire period although out- scored 3-1. Clinton Nearly Wins - Clinton continued to press in the third period and were filially rewarded with Hanly, Smith and May. scoring. May's goal looked as big as a house to everyone in the arena but a poor clearing play 'set up the equalizer. Flood grab- bed the clearing shot and fired it toward the net, several players scrambled for the loose puck with Smith finally batting it behind Nediger. During, the overtime McEwan golfed one that Chessel fanned on but the determined Mitchell team once again took advantage of a Clinton defensive lapse and quick- ly tied the score, The Colts fin- ished the game a man short as Danny Colquhoun was banded a two minute penalty for tripping plus a 10 minute misconduct when he objected to the referee's decis- ion too strenuously.
