THE HOME PAPER Colts Outscored the Siskins Sunday Evening Meeting ▪ 6-3 GODERICH AT CLINTON- TONIGHT One of the roughest games seen,. here for a long time was the Clinton- Waterloo lintonWaterloo game Friday night in which the 'Colts outscored the Siskins 6.3. The ice was' sticky' and the going tough. Tempers appeared tobe on edge, consequently penalties were numerous. Sixteen minutes of the first period had passed before Draper opened the scoring for the Colts in a solo. effort. Richardson made it a pair in one min - lite from the face-off. The Siskins put on a power play and with 30 eec- ends to go, the Vogt brothers combin- ed to score their first goal cod frame, In the se n m Pete G ran tied a e G thescore after ten minutes of play. Conney Mr.Ewan put the Colts in the lead again, with Bartliff getting the assist. Searrow increased the lead' af- ter two minutes of play and the last minute of the period was ticked off when Cotey scored fortheSiskins. The third period was rough and five penalties were earnee. Solomon' was waved for tripping. Bartliff got a minor for high sticking. Clair got rough with Punch McE,wan and both were sent into the pen. Clair was again waved before the period was over and was in wrong with the fans. The third stanza was only started when Timmer McEwan carried the puck from centre ice and in a solo rush got inside the Siskins' defence and found the net, giving the Colts a two -goal margin. Searrow made it one better in two minutes from the 'face-off. A regretable incident occurred when Lang and Scarrow were in a mix against the hoards, Scarrow received a blow across the head with the blade of a stick and was knocked out. Dr. Oakes rendered first aid and had him carried to the dressingroom. Lang was waved to the penalty box for a Major.

Lack of ice forced the postpone- ment of Friday night's Seaforth-God- erich intermediate hockey game. As a result of their idleness, the Fliers dropped into the cellar in the Huron - Waterloo group. Clinton's above vic- tory over Waterloo lifted the Celts from last place. After last Friday night's game the Colts presented Leading Aircrafts- man Cecil McConnell ,with a billfold containing g One Dollar Bill, as a tok- en of appreciation for the valuable help he has given the tenni- since his coining to the nearby Radio School.
