The Tavistock Greenslta ailed
tits +f
to come from . behind' the one goal
lead in the semi-finals. Coming here
forthe return game Friday night
they were nosed out 3-2 on the game,
the Colts taking the round 9-7.
The game was just as close as the
score would indicate. It was a close
checking game, allowing little oppor-
tunity for lone rushes Both teams
play the same kind . of hockey and
there were some nice passing Plays,
but few solo efforbs due to the feet
that every man was too well cover-
ed.•Pickett and Streets had several
scoring chances in the first period,
but it was Punch McEwen who scored
the first goal after ten minutes of
play on a Iong shot from outside the
defence. In a sally. behind the net
Streets bowled over the goal judge
providing a howl far the fans. That
worthy gentleman sat an the ice and
tipped his hat before scrambling to
his feet. Matthies made one of- the
outstanding plays in the game after
fifteen minutes of play when he sail-
ed through all alone, went between
Porterfield and Rath and beat Elliott
in a beautiful shot to the corner of
the net. Pearson was the only man
to draw a penalty in this Period and
during his rest every Clinton player
had a crack at the puck. Faulhafer
in the Tavistock goal appeared. to
have more legs than- a centipede as
hewas pelted with rubber through-
out the penalty period, but held the
Colts out.
Play warned up somewhat in the
second period -although both teams
still played cautious hockey. Streets
and Boehler were close to scoring,
but the netminding of both Elliott
and Falhafer .was superb throughout.
Porterfield drew a penalty for what
looked like a fair check and just after
stepping back on the ice was effec-
tive in taking out Pearson after he
had eluded 'both centre and wings
and was all set for a goal Timmer
McEwen scored Clinton's second goal
at 4.28, 'shooting the puck in from
the left hand corner while Falhafer
was off balance after clearing Fost-
er's drive. Tavistock rushed back and
Neeb brought Elliott to his knees
with a beautiful shot. Boehler's goal
came at 10.50 when he banged in the
puck previously shot by Neeb. The
McEwens were playing good hockey
and accounted for Clinton's next
goal. Frank laid over a nice pass, to
Ross at the blue line both going down
for one of the neatest goals of the
game with just three minutes left
in the period. Vogt took the feet
out from under Foster and was sent
off and again. Faulhafer was pepper-
ed with rubber. Draper made sev-
eral dangerous shots, and although
used sparingly, played brilliant
hockey.
Vogt had fifteen seconds to serve
as the final period opened. Streets,
Gibbs and Pickett were outguessed
several thyme ones as they sailed in and
Pickett skated miles -in some nice
checking plays. Rath as usual played
a consistent game and his long shots
were deadly as he and Porterfield

citadel, Matthies got the nod for
laying out Foster and seconds later
Foster followed him to the box when
Rigid lay down. For several minutes
Clinton were bottled up in their' own
goal area then Vogt and Gibbs were
sent off for wrestling. With the
teamsat full strength Streets had
the hardest luck when a shot carom-
ed offthe goal post and a goal -sea
onds later poked in by Gibbs was
diisallowed. Tavistock - put on the
pressure and play got a little rough
as the teams mixed it up. Matthies
drew a penalty for high sticking but
neither team were able to score al-

Tomorrow morning will tell the
tale to the world and iet's hope Jinn
Hunter gets it right. Seaforth will
be here tonight for the second in
the home and home games of the
finals and bring with thein a one
goal lead. Now its up' to the Colts,
either they win or hang up the
skates for another season. Tonight's
genie will probably be, one of the
best and hardest of the season and
neither team will rislc the chance of
letting it, for one minute. Until

that the ice was Sticky they played

and outclaelsed their rivals. Within
nine minutes they had slipped three
goals past Stade, but when Young-

and Schroeder brought the tally
down to 3-2. In. the closing minutes
of the period Gibbs banged in an-

ond frame. There were bursts of

missed some nice' chances. Hubert
and Porterfield received penalties,
but neither team could score. Port-
erfield played a mighty good game
and was aided and abetted by Rath
on defence. "Red" jturned in one
of the nicest performances we have
seen this year. It seems unfair to
single out any one player as a stand-
out- as each one played well while
the ice was fairly hard, but it seemed
that in the final period they were
played out. -
The Beavers seemed to benefit
from the brief rest between periods
and really went to town in the last
period with bursts of speed and
dangerous power plays that really
clicked. After eight minutes of play
Willisl scored ;(three minutes later
Fiennory slapped in: the equalizer and
five minutes later G. Hildebrand put
in the winning goal. From then
until the end of the period they kept
the Colts off the score sheet and now
have a one goal lead to bring here
tonight.
At that the fans got their money's
worth. Apart from the excitement
of the game there were a couple of
minor accidents. The referee stop-
ped a puck and was knocked out;
a player caught one on the nose, re-
quiring medical attention; Porter-
field was momentarily dazed, when
he stopped a hot one with his fore-
head and R. McEwen also was in-
jured. The only hard part about it
is that the Colts should have won, but
didn't. llhe !Seaforth management
were happy about the whole thing
though. The rink was packed to
capacity with fans even hanging from
the rafters, .the like of which they
have n t
o seen in Seaforth for years.
It will likely be the same here to-
night for the last game,

This was one of the best and hardest
fought games of the serids and the
scare is not a fair indication of the
game.
A sudden death game will be play-
ed .between North. Clinton and Lee -
burn next week and the winner of
that game will go on to fight it out
with South Clinton to determine who
will meet the winner of the other
division for the trophy. These games
have not been receiving the sZ port
they should, probably due to the in-
terest being shown in the intermed-
iate •series. In spite of that the boys
have played just as hard as if they
were playing to a full house and
some promising talent is being de-
veloped.

"Love Into Deeds"
Theme of Day of Prayer
On Friday afternoon, February 24,
the World's Day of Prayer was ob-
served by the women of Clinton in
the Clinton Presbyterian Church.
There was a good attendance to mark
the occasion.
Mts. George MacDonald, President
of the Women's Missionary Society
of the Clinton Presbyterian church,
presided, and a choir, made up of
representatives of the local churches,
led in the singing of the hymns..
Mrs. Boyce, church organist presided
dei
at the organ.
As an introduction, Mrs. MacDon-
ald reviewed briefly the history of
the World Day of Prayer showing
how it had gradually became a world
force, after its beginning on this
continent.
Those talking part in the period
of intercession included Miss Ella
Akain of the Baptist Church, Mrs,
A. T. Cooper of Wesley -Willis Unit-
ed Church, Miss Evelyn Hall of St.
Paul's Anglican Church, Mrs. Beaton
of Ontario Street United Chureh and
Mrs. Fletcher of the Salvation Army.
Mrs. W4- A.5 Okskes contributed a

Mrs, Boyce.

the allocation of moneys contributed
at these services. The money is used
to give -Christian literature to those.
who have not the same facilities in
obtaining itas we have in our own
country. In the coursg of her re-
marks, Mrs: Fowler stated that there
is a need of convincing Christian:
Literature in the n Miss}o • Work.
Early missionaries to Africa and our
own Canadian Northwest were often
forced to- form a written language
of the people ,to whom they were
carrying the gospel. Ewen: yet, with
all . the modern, conrveniences, many
people have scanty supplies of
Christian literature. They need so
much help in this way in the
teach-
ing -
ing of the younger members of the
races, because they are continually
being flooded with harmful literature
in the nature of ,subversive propa-
ganda. -
In conclusion Mrs. Fowler told
several ipteresting stories about the
Church of All Nations in, Toronto.

The Clinton and Auburn Baptist
congregations have extended a ,call
to Rev. A. E. Silver of Lanark to be

ed the, call and will begin his pastor-
