Bearcats Advance •Into Semi -Finals Bearcats wEliminate Parkhill Last Night To Qualify or Seriii-Finals , In N.W.0,11.A. - • ' Clinton , Colts defeated Seaforth Beavers here last night 7 to 4 to win the seini-final round of the' group by a score of 10-5. The first game was played in Seaforth on Monday night the score being 3-1. Thus the Colts advance into the group final's against Kincardine who put out Ripley by the handy score of 10-2, The genie, did not get started till after 10 o'clock and fans and players wereweary from waiting. The holdup was the referee, McCully, from Stratford, he was on the bus and the bus broke down delaying him over 2 hours . It was after mid- night when the genie ended. We hope it don't happen again. A cou- ple of garnes of euchre in the wait- ing room in whith• players and fans both joined helped while away the hours of waiting. .Finally McCully arrived and the game I got started. We think referees should take a mode of travel that will ensure be- ing on deck at game time. McCully boarded a bus which was ordinarily not due here till nearly nine and. its tough on both fans and players who have to stand around altogether for four hours to see a hockey match, The ice was very bad' and good play was impossible. As a result long shots and scrambles were num- erous, and both goalies played well. One thing Seaforth can say. is they put more goals past Doak last night than has been put past him in any previous game, and they put up a game fight to the finish, but were beaten by a better team. R. McEwan opened the scoring in the first few minutes of •play on a pass from Hohnes. Culliton tied it up shortly afterwards when he grab- bed a loose puck and tricked his way in on Doak to score on a nice effort. Gibbs sent the Colts ahead when he batted in Rath's rebound. Wright tied it for the Beavers, but Gibbs again put the Colts ahead on Streets' rebound. P. McEwan put the Colts two up on a double pass froni Rath and R. McEwan. On the drop of the puck in the se- cond R McEwan picked up the puck when Holmes overskatecl it and fired one from inside the blue line which Doig failed to stop. It was the °MY score of the second. The Beavers made their best show- ing in the last when they stored goal for goal with the Colts, each team hating two. Play was, even in this period. A. Iliklebrand opened the scoring and "Red" Rath came right back for . Clinton,- Then Holmes scored for Seaforth, but F. 11.1cEwan got one for Clinton, Both 'teams worked as though •only one goal sep- erated them, The Colts are to be con- gratulated on their ,victory and Sea - forth for putting up such a game fight, •although it was, evident that it was a losing one all:the way.

RWIN 9 "CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE CLINTON 3, SEAFORTII First Genie of Play -Offs The Celts came away from Sea - forth with a comfortable 2 -goal lead for the return game, when they de. feated the Beavers on their own ice 3-1 on Monday night. The ice was soft and made fast play impossible. The first period was even with no score, but in the second Clinton tai - lied twice.to give thein a 2-0 lead, Each team scored once in the third. This was the first goal Seaforth had put past Doak this year. Streets scored the first goal in the second, and \\hen Rath was left uncovered he took a pass from Gibbs to shoot the second one past Doig, The score was 2-0 at the end of the second. The Beavers scored their only goal half way through the final stanza when A. Hildebrand shared one past Doak. Immediately afterwards Gibbs took a pass from Pickett to put the Colts two up again. The usual large crowd from- Clin- ton was more or less kept at hone owing to road conditions which were very bad. • .

SHOWING OFF • While the crowds were up viewing the snowbanks on Vinegar Hill on Sunday afternoon, a road fit for a team or cutter to go through having been made, along came a little rim- ing car and plunged into it. The re - suit was that it stuck its nose into the soft snow, buried its wheels, and stopped. This blocked the road to everyone else but the man in the car did not seem to mid. Be was the centre of attraction to the Sunday afternoon spectators, so he climbed up on the top of the seat of his lit- tle car, lit a cigarette and proceeded to enjoy himself. • Some young men who happened to be around tried a spell of digging in an endeavor to re- lease the Car but as the driver seem- ed so unconcerned they soon ceased. hi the meantime some people who had been in the country came along in a cutter and had to turn back, some folk who live in the country and had been in towin came along and had to turn back. Finally, when it became imperative, that the road should be cleared those who had to get through set to work, as the driver of the car no doubt had counted upon, and the cm WS got out of the way. It was about as &ring a case of disregard of the convenience of others as one would want to see. We do not know wile! the driver of the car was, but under- stand the car is owned in Goderith. SNOW REDUCED TO SLUSH We had just begun to get the roads opened up after the snowfall of weeks, and had really opened com- munication east and west, north and south; when on Monday morning a thaw set in and instead of heaps of snow to contend with it was soon oe- eani of slush. Everywhere the roads were high and except where they were beaten were very soft, this goes for the walks, too, and on all but the main streets only a foot path in the middle was well tracked, so that when the the* came walking became very dif- ficult. 'The roads were the same and cars got stack almost everywhere, sinking -to the hubs in the soft snow. Monday night the snow plow went up No. 8 and also No, 4, nipping wide track down the middle of the street on Albert street past .The News -Record office and piling great blocks of snow and ice three or four feet on either side, almost cutting oft t h e business places .on " both aides. Soon men and teame were at work, however, clearing these away, so we have that much more toward clearing the streets when the final break-up conies. I., • The thaw caught a little cold Tues- day night and this morning, Wed- nesday, it is snowing again. But we' shall hardly. have as great a Snow,— gall again this Winter.
