Colts Win First Home Game LOSE TO GODERICH 5-4 IN FIRST TILT Maybe it was that Friday the 13th. jinx which affected the Colts in their game with Goderich last Friday night, in any case the Sailors tacked a 5-4 win to their list in what is reported to have been one of the wildest games of the season. 'Fists were flying and arguments plentiful as the 'Colts drop- ped the, clam decision to a team not counted as a very serious threat this season. The Sailors have proved how- ever that they are not to be taken too lightly and put up a real fight in the return game here on Monday night. Fast andrt fu onso wildrea p b bly be the' best description of the game. As usual, the Sailors used their old chopping type of play freely and the play was fast and keen throughout. From the face-off the visitors made a rush for the goal in an effort to estalish an early lead. By so doing they took the breath out of the Colts so to speak, but it was not very long before play wap concentrated around the Goderich net. Clinton had all kinds of chances to score but seemed to lack the necessary finish. McKay got a trip to the cooler for charging Streets but' the Colts failed to cap- italize on the one man 'advantage al- though the McEwan brothers and Foster, and the other line of Pickett, Draper and Streets, both smooth working lines had goalie Swiger all of a dither. In fact the Colts both- ered hint so badly that he had to receive medical attention at the end of the period for a bad case of the jitters. Pickett registered the first goal of the evening with just one minute left in the period on a nice passing play front Rath and Streets. As the second period got under way Johnston went through alone for what iooked like the tieing• goal but Elliott dropped on that one to save the day. Then tempers got a little hot. Stoddart and Foster got the nod for shoving. Immediately afterward Draper took a pass from Pickett and Streets, drilled a fast one to the lower left-hand corner of the net which bounced out. Forrester, the goal judge, called it a goal bid it was not allowed in spite of the pro- tests. He was replaced byNei Neilans. When the smoke had cleared play was resumed and Stoddart took Foster for a ride behind the net and was award- ed two minutes for doing so. He was followed by Doak who got the nod for interference and Clinton were award- ed. a penalty shot, taken by Rath Who failed to beat Swiger. Iii a scramble in the net a Goderich player shoved his skate through the mesh and time was taken out for repairs. Frank McEwen got in wrong with the referee and was sent to the cooler and, this seemed to make the Colts mad. In any event "Punch" rapped in a goal, quickly followed by another off Foster's stick. As the period end- ed the Colts were outskating and out- playing the Sailors with their com- bination plays. Youngblutt and 'Port- erfield were handing out some nice body 'checks and both forward lines were clicking smoothly. Rath gave a good demonstration of shooting fro mine blue line at various times throughout the game and sent one past Swiger in the opening min- utes of the past period which did not count as the bell had gone. From the face-off, following McDonald Went down practically alone, eluded the defence and beat Elliott cleanly for Goderich's first and . only counter. Pickett came right back with a beau- tiful goal, a corner shot on a pass f1y.m Rath. A few' minutes' later Youngblutt came up and laid a pass over to Pickett who again beat Swig- er. Youngblutt was counted guilty on aheavy body checkand sent to the box. Goderich put on the pressure with a vengeance and about eight players were lying on the goal crease in a free-for-all at the Clinton net. In the midst of it all a Goderich play- er tossed the puck in with his hand hoping it would escape Muir's eye. When the players had 'straightened themselves out once more play was resum.ed and the final bell foundboth teams battling it out for another goal. Clinton — Goal, G. Elliott; Def.

Juveniles Win 4and Lose a Game' On Thursday evening the Lions Juveniles started off the season by taking a decisive victory .over Aea- forth, 11-3. Earle in the Seaforth net was a standout player"and-saved his Leant from a much larger. score, In the first period McEwen, Monteith and Colquhoun found, the net for Clin- ton. Monteith scored two and Powell another in the second, Sperling notch- ed two, Sperling, Powell and Colquh- oun one each in the final period. The Clinton boys showed . much superior form and their combination plays left Seaforth at a standstill. Last night in Stretford the Clinton lads took a 5-5 beating. The Stratford team were mucheavier and:used their bodies freely The refereeing from a -Clinton standpoint was mighty peer and not a bit like what the boys have been used to '.` Monteith, Powell and McEwen clicked on the Clinton goals and in the final period Stratford were receiving as good as they gave and had to fight hard to keep the boys back. The return . game will be played here Saturday night.

District Hockey League Limited space this week does not allow us to give Tuesday night's games the space they deserve. A marked increase in attendance is evi- dence of the good entertainment pro- vided and for this week we must limit space to bare details. Londesboro nosed out Benmiller 2-1 in the opener. G. Fairserviee•, and W. Riley were the goalgetters for Londesboro, K. Arthur for Benmiller. In the second game Kinburn's one goal by Dale set N. Clinton back in another exciting game. Lawson in goal for Clinton had a very busy night. "Red" Garen was the star defencetnan, both from a checking standpoint and spectator interest, These games are well worth attending as the boys work hard from start to finish.
