Market BEAT SEAFORTI-I -o sasoc c' TO GROUP TITLE _Barley 40c, 42c. BEAVERS FAIL TO HOLD EARLY LEAD o The Clinton Colts came home Thursday night carrying the honor's for Huron -Perth as winners of Group 7 Intermediate, B. by nosing out the strong Seaforth Beavers 3-2. It was the end of 250 minutes of play-aff hockey for the two teams, In home and home games they had been tied in goals scored. Then in a game designed to end the struggle played in Stratford on Tuesday night, they played ten minutes of overtime and still finished deadlocked. Thursday's game failed to attract as large a crowd as the Tuesday night deadlock. Approximately 1,600 paid customers saw the Colts steal the Beaver's favorite trick of finish- ing strongly. The Colts' usual procedure had been to grab a good Iead early in the game and then have the Beavers overtake them in the .last session. It worked the other• way Thursday night. The play by play description following was written b Milt Dun- l nell, Sports Editorof the Stratford Beacon -Herald. Beavers Score First • Smoky Harris got the only goal of the fust period, to give Seaforth the lead. Punch MeEwen tied it up, late in the second, on a pass from! Red Rath. The veteran Rath put' the Colts in front, early in the last period, but Smoky Harris got his sec- ond goal, to tie it up again, while the Beavers had a. man in the penalty box. Gibbs spanked in the pay-off counter, with a minute and a half of play remaining, on a play with (sen Pickett and Kelso Streets A dispute over the time remain- ing to play held up the game in the dying minutes. The big clock at the end of the rink had stopped, showing about three minutes of play remain- ing. An ordinary watch was used to finish out the game, but in the Seaforth camp there was a strong belief that regulation time should have expired before the winning goal was scored. The Seaforth supporters, usually resigned to seeing their tem go a couple of goals down in the first period, made the rafters ring with 'their cheers when Smoky Harris poked the puck past the Clinton de- fence and -picked it up- in the clear, to flip a shot past George Elliott after 47 seconds of play. The early goal seemed to unsettle the Clinton team. Their • attack lack- ed the polish that they had shown in their game on Tuesday night. Punch McEwen gave his brother, Prank, a real scoring chance after eleven minutes of play, Carrying the puck down to the Seaforth blue line,, Punch laid a. perfect pass on his brother's stick as Frank • came in along the left rail. Frank skated in close, and Stade, the Seaforth goalie, did a ; dive to» meet him. IVIcEwen went sprawling over the goalie, while his shot went wide of the open net. Goalie Out Stade was knocked out on the play and was carried to the Seaforth dressing room. He was able to re- sume play, after a delay of about ten minutes. With less than three minutes of play Ieft in the first period, the Colts got a chance to work a power play, when Scoop Willis was penal- ize for. poking the feet from under Gibbs, in front of the. Seaforth net. The Beavers covered up 'well around the cage, and the Colts were unable to cash in on the, extra man power. Kelso Streets heard ,the knock of opportunity after six minutes of the second period, but the Clinton winger lost out. Ken Pickett gave Streets a perfect pass, after Streets was clear of the Seaforth defence, ;Stade. must have looked as»big as a house to Streets; as the . Clinton, winger blazed a shot that plunked into the goalie's pads. Three minues later, Streets drew the first Clinton • penalty, but the Beavers didn't have a dangerous scoring chance while: he was in the jug. They spent most of the two minutes recovering the puck after Clinton had fired it up the ice. It took a pair of veterans rich in experience to pump in the equalizing goal, at 16.02. Rangy Red Rath, striding' along the left boards, sent a pass the width af' the ice to, Punch McEwen, The Seaforth defence had shifted over, leaving MeEwen a wide lane on the right side. Punch was clear of the rearguards in two strides with only Stade to beat. He didn't snake any mistake about picking an opening • and the' puck hit the strings in the offoorner.
