On Fri- day night they came out, on tap with a 2-1 score in a hard fought game played at Tavistock. After battling through a scoreless first period Draper and F. McEwen combined for. the first goal of the game after 16 minutes of play. Boehler tied it up three minutes later. In the dying moments of the final period the Pic- kett -Gibbs -Streets line romped in to score the winning goal, Pickett bang- ing in the rebound from Gibbs shot. Coming here for the return game on Saturday night, their last in the scheduled series ,the Greenehirts had the edge 1a o dge on play fortheten first st minutes of the openingPeriod. Play was rough on. the sticky ice and Reid Neeb and Matthies had several dead- ly shots, all handled nicely by George Elliott. Rath rapped in the opening goal after nine minutes of play. R. McEwen, shot the puck between the iegs of Pearson to Rath who was be- hind the defence and Red made no mistake, beating Strahln cleanly. Four penalties were handed out for rough playing, two to each team and the Colts made Strahm look like the jumping bean most of the time. Pic- kett scored after his line had battled away behind, the net, Gibbs and Streets being in on the play after several unsuccessful attempts. Gibbs was a valuable addition to the for- ward line and with Draper assisting the McEwen, both lines were well balanced and gave .Strahm plenty to do. The Colts defence showed up to better advantage too, the boys being in the right place at the right time. A penalty shot was awarded the Colts, the goalie being the offender, coming out ten feet to charge a Clinton player sailing in on goal. Rae was a standout player for the visitors in this period and was through twice in as many seconds late in the period ending 1-0 for the Colts. The second period started with Neeb still serving time, but the close checking held the Colts out. R. Mc- Ewen e-Ewen slipped one across the goal mouth that had the fan gasping and then Neeb and Boehler broke loose to score Tavistock's first goal. Youngblutt drilled one from his own blue line that bothered Strahm and once mare the players started to mix it up. Pickett and Gibbs were Sent to the box and with both off there were some anxious moments as Reid. and Boehler peppered in Some dang- erous shots. Scoring honours were divided between two Colts forward lines, Frank McEwen scoring at 12.25 and Pickett at 14,56. Matthies drew a penalty for dirty tactics and the per- iod ended with Clinton leading 4-1. The final period was fairly even. Bath teams were giving and taking plenty of punishment and played close checking hockey. After ten minutes of play Pickett was reward- ed for his efforts in another scrim- mage around the Tavistock net. Reid drew his first penalty of the season for laying' on the hickory and, Gibbs and F. McEwen also got the. nod. With both Clinton players off at the same` time tine Shirts were unable to score; and Matthies goal at 18.41 came as a gift when the rubber ap- peared to bounce off a Clinton play- er's stick, giving, Matthies the chance to golf it across the line, Froin then until the end of the period both teams were held off the score sheet.

Beavers' Win on Clinton Ice For the second time this season the Seaforth Beavers proved ane goal too too many for the Colts, taking the decision 5-4 here on Thursday. night. It was a repeat of the former game, both; .teamss, making b(riIlianti plays n.t times in a fast, yet close checking gene. Both teams :lacked regular players. The Colts were minus G. Elliott and Foster, and the Beavers left Hubert at home. The pinch was felt worse on the local team however. Porter- field was moved up an the wing and Neilans donned the pads, doing a goad job but showing the laek of ex- perience and finish of the regular nettninder, Kennedy was out on de; fence and wa in et'.l'mneili'•al in 'break - THE HOME PAPER How They Finished .'While the Coltswere battling i b ung tout with Tavistock on Saturday night the Goderich Sailors definitely eliminat- ed 'Mitchell from the group with a verdict. ..Clinton had two scheduled games yet to play with Mitchell which were defaulted, thus , giving Clinton four, points: and putting them at the top for the playoffs.

The first period broke fast with both teams pressing for' first blood, and Punch McEwen got credit for the first goal, at ten minutes, after his line had stormed Stadel's citadel time after time. G. Hildebrand threaten- ed to tie it up when he broke away alone but -failed to beat Neilans. Schroeder burned one off the top of the net and with Neilans dawn Ken- nedy cleared what looked like a sure Md. Pickett -Draper -Streets go .The. c per -Streets line was outguessed many .times by Stade and had plenty of hard luck around the net. - Going into the segond period Rath and F. McEwen combined in a neat sally but were outlucked. On another occasion F. McEwen had the puck placed right in front of the goal but was too well covered to shoot. Streets pulled a neat play when he grabbed the rubber off a Seaforth's player stick at Clinton's goal mouth and went down alone, only to be beaten by Stade, Harris, who scored, three of Seaforth's goals found the net at 1.80. Schroeder scored at 8.40, Draper at 12 and R. McEwen at 18.50 as the teams battled up and down the ice, The Colts had the edge on the play, but couldn't seem to find the net. The intermissionperiod put new life into the visitors and withinthree minutes of the final period they had rapped in two more, Harris and A. Hildebrand getting the honours. At 10.50 Harris again beat Neilans to give his team a two goal lead and four minutes later F. McEwen put in the fourth and final goal for the Colts. From then until the end of the period they did everything but tie it up. . Seaforth — Goal, Stade; Defence, Muir, Sills; Centre, A. Hildebrand; Wings, G.

Juveniles Hounding Stratford Tealin After four games the Lions Juv- eniles still have a chance of coning out an top in the battle for group leadership. John Murray's Stratford team eau are giving them lots of trouble as the results of four games indicate. Two games have ended in deadlocks and each team have won a game apiece. A fifth •deciding game will determine the leadership and the Clinton boys think they can take it. Coming from behind in the second. period in the game played on Friday night the Clinton lads had the game tied up only to lose out in the final period. Goalgetters for the locals were Lockwood Monteith and Powell; for Stratford Yeandle, Shantz, B. Burdett and YeandIe. The game here Monday night was handled by Referee Thorndike who handed, out no less than ten penalties. Apparently the Stratfordboys thought their superior size entitled them to rough it up, but :the official thought otherwise. In the first period six penalties were handed out to the visitors bat they managed to finish the remainder of thegame with just two, more. Cook was the offender for the locals. The first period was dull except for the . numerous penalties. The locals appeared to be disorganized and fail- ed to get going. Ducharine broke away alone for the only counter of the period, but it was the sound goal tending oft' Hawkins which ,held the visitors in check as they stormed the goal trine after :time. With 80 sec- onds to go in the second period Mon- teith and Powell got together and tied the count. Play was more even ly divided ,and the locals were hold- ing their own. G. Burdett put his team ahead' again shortly after the final period opened, : only to have Clinton take the lead again when Powell netted a pass from Monteith. Another goal by Monteith anode the Stratford lads sit up and take notice and Izzie Powell really put the game on ice by scoring another.' From then until the final bell the defensive play of the locals held the visitors off the score sheet - Colts Win First Play -Off Game RETURN GAME .IIIaRE-1'`1t1ilAY ' The Colts took the .first game of the playoffs last night in Tavistock in one of the fastest and best gapes of the season. The score by periods was 1-1, 8-3, and 6-5. In the final frame the Colts had to come from, behind . a 5-3 lead piled up by the Shirts, Pickett scoring two and Gibbs one to give the Colts the victory. The . return game will be played 'here tomorrow night. This will be the Shirts last chance as goalscountin the home and home games. We need hardly say it will be a goad, game. .Goderich and Seaforth fight it out tonight at Seaforth. In the first game at Goderich on Tuesday night the Sailors handed the Beavers a 4-3 trimming. Any way you look at it its a close battle all round and any- thing can happen. ' Special Meeting The Young Men's Bible Class will meet as usual at 4 o'clock in St. Paul's Parish Hall.
