However, the Perths gave the game to the Colts as sickness, and injuries to some of their best players gave them only once chance in a hundred ' to come out on top.Consequently the Colts have undisputed possession of top place and now meet New Hamburg in the semi-finals. In the meantime Seaforth and Tavistock battle it out for the eight to meet the victor in the final'round. The play off schedule follows: Seaforth at Tavistock — Feb. 21 Tavistock atSeaforth - Feb. 26 Clinton at N. Hamburg: Feb. 22 N. Hamburg at Clinton—Feb. 27 In these games goals on the round will decide the winners. COLTS WHIP PERTH REGIMENT TEAM 11-11 The Colts chalked up their twelfth consecutive win in thirteen starts this) season Friday night again the Perth Regiment team. The game was closer than the 11-1 score would indicate, however. The Pickett -Draper -Streets) line shared nine of the goals, with three each, Doak and Foster getting the remaining two. Streets started off the scoring afters about nine minutes of play, scoring unassisted with a long high shot al -1 most frons the blue line. Six minutes later Doak took a pass from Foster in a scramble around the net, beating Kurt cleanly. Foster got the only, penalty of the period a few seconds later for holding. The second period opened with a bang and was considerably rougher.: Pickett scored in less than four min -1 utes from the opening bell. Habkirk got the nod for dirty work and ass he stepped on. again another team: mate stepped off to keep, the seat waren, Draper slammed ]tome Young's pass for Clinton's fourth goal. Foster, from Frank McE,wan, Draper from Grant and Draper from Pickett piled the score up to 7-0. Young was penalized for iripping, but the soldiers were unable to make use of the one man advantage although they gave Neilans plenty of hard ones to handle. The McEwan-Foster line had some tough breaks all through the game and Foster's goal near the end of the period was disallowed although hotly disputed. Within thirty seconds from the start of the final period Pickett and Draper combined for the Colts eighth goal. Then in less than two minutes Pickett made it nine, assisted by Streets. Schnieder saved the Perths from a whitewashing by banging a loosepuck p t a t the goal post in a wild scramble and Neilans claimed he was robbed on that one. Streets scores the next two goals of the game, Young and Pickett getting assists. Perths: Goal, Kurt; defence, .

Valena Elliott Is Chosen Queen Clinton's annual ice carnival was well patronized on Tuesday evening and everyone attending seemed to have a good time. Shortly after 8 o'clock the skaters started to arrive, some in costume, others with stand- ard skating outfits, prepared for anything that might come. While a few indulged in moccasin dancing, the general feeling seemed to be that skating was preferable, and it was the popular pastime until the races and contests were run off. While the fancy and comic cos- tumes were not numerous, there were enough to snake competition keen in their classes. Some of the costumes showed originality and it is unfortun- ate it was not possible to award , everyone in costume a prize. The first task of judges K. G. Waters and N. W. Trewartha was to select the Carnival Queen. In this ;here were eight contestants. Last night in•the first game of the semi-finals Seaforth defeated Tavis- tock 3-2. The Greenshirts still have a good chance of coming out on top, to meet the winners of the Clinton,- New linton,New Hamburg round. Clinton, and New Hamburg meet, here Tuesday night.
