Blue -garbed air men dotted the crowd end along with the other fans rocked the arena with their cheering out- bursts. And there was plenty of opportunity for cheering for beth sides as the two teams turned it on and played reckless, headlong hockey with the issue in doubt until the final whislte as the Milverton coach yanked his goalie in the last minute and sent six forwards charging to the attack in a last-ditch effort to tie the count. 'Fatso" Robertson, between the pipes for the Clinton RCAF team, played a standout game in the airmen's cause and turned back many thrusts that seemed headed for paydirt territory. Holding a 3 1 lead after the first minute of play in the second session the Clinton crew appeared to tire badly In the later stages of the period and two goals by Milver- ton knotted the score. However, Clinton came back strongly in the third period end rapped home a goal to take a one -goal. edge which they protected successfully.

The winners thus quelified to meet the victors of Kincardine- Flesherton in a suddendeath match at Walkerton Monday for the title, In a way, it was sweet re- venge for Lucknow, as Clinton Lions Bantams eliminated the Lucknow kids in the semi-final of that series a year ago. 13i11 Hanly Voted As "Most Valuable" • "Bill". Hanly, youthful right- winger on the line with Bob Draper and Roy Goodhue, has been adjudged ''the most val- uable player" of Clinton Colts' Intermediate hockey team dur- ing the past season by ballot of his colleagues, 'The most valuable player award is •pro- moted by the Ontario Hockey Association for each team with a cup as a reward.

"Bud" Schoenh als, defence player, with an alarm clock as a token of their esteem, the presentation being made by Manager Bert Gliddon and President Jack Scruton in be- half of the Club. 0 GEORGE ARMSTRONG STARS s George Armstrong, ace centre of Toronto Marlboros, was the star ,of this team,'s hardfought series against St. Catharines in the OHA Junior "A" semi-final , series. In the third and last game of the series at St. Cath- arines Monday evening, when Marlboros won 4-3, George fig- ured in all four goals for his Two Overtime Games It was the Clinton kids' sec- ond overtime sudden -death match in the short space of three nights they having defeated Palmer- ston 5-4 in 19 minutes' overtime Wednesday evening last. It was a lot to expect the boys to come through with anothei victory. However, Doug Bartliff's charges went down battling to the last ditch and might easily have won the game and the right to compete for the champ- ionship, Possibly the nearest thing to the winning goal for Clinton came in the last minute of play in the regular time when the score was knotted 3-3. Cam and Clare Maltby had the Lucknow goalie beaten cold, but unfor- tunately Cam shot the puck right into the goalie's pads. Young Bill Tideswell did some yeoman work, too, in the Clinton citadel in the dying moments and overtime. team, with two goals and two osaists. It will be recalled that the young Parry, Sounder, who starred with Stratford Kroehlers last year, was the chief speaker— along with Manager Dave Pink- ney, Stratford—at the presenta- tion banquet a year ago in honour of Clinton Lions, 1948 WOAA Bantam Champions, Marlboros now meet Barrie Flyers in a best -of -seven series for the OHA Junior Championship, now held by Barrie. Overtime Goal The winning counter was tal- lied at 1.30 iu the ten-minute overtime period by Gibson, Luck - how's hefty defence man, who proved the bad man al the piece with three penalties in the sec- ond period. The puck was shot from near the Mile line, and' the Clinton goalie's vision was screened by several Clinton and Lucknow players. The disc landed high up in the net. The shot was a heartbreaker. Gibson and Morley Chin, the young Chinese -Canadian ster, and younger member of a -famous Lucknow family, stood out for the winners, while the Maltby brothers and Ron Carter, centre on the second line, were best for Clinton Lions. The Lucknow team had the edge fn the de- fensive department. LIICK.NOW: Goal, Whitby; de- fence, Gibson, Chin; centre, E. Irwin; wings, Fisher, Stewart; alternates—Thompson, A.
