Defeat Mitchell
(Continued from page 1)
of the smartest games of their career,
completely outclassing. the Mitchell
boys at every turn with their dazzling
speed and beautiful combination, and
almost super -human baek'.checking.,
They completely disorganized their
opponents and scored seven goals to
the visitors one, every , goal being
beautifully rehdered and several of
them came as the result of some of
the' nicest combination play seen a-
round these parts hi a long time.
There was not a weak spot in the
whole team and we'll wager ,that Cas-
ey in the nets for Mitchell, ,breathed
a big sigh when the final bell tolled.
' Ross 1VIcEsvan -alga brother, Frank,
were the high scorers of the evening,
each scoring two goals and Roes
figured in two assists, while Frank
got one assist. Dougas Kennedy.
Kenneth Pickett and Kelso Streets
each ;got, a goal and assist. Although,
Cecil I3 alines didn't score, it was not
for the wantof trying, but this was,
n't his night, -but there's plenty more
Deming and we'll wager he 'comes in
for his share before long. • "Wick"
Elliott and Bingenian, although not
on the score sheet -did their big work
in keeping the other fellows from
scoring, and along with George Elliott
ine
t1t nets, made' one grand job ofi it.
1C. Stoneman scored the visitors
only, goal and they certainly deserv.
ed one goal on the night's play. They
came close on several oceasien, but
failed to click. They have a nice kid
line in Wright, Culliton and Leppard,
and if these boys stay together, will
be heard. from in the future.
The first period opened with Mit,
ehell naming in close, and plat- rang-
od from one end of the ice to the cth-
er, with both goalies being tested on
several occasions.. Finally Kennedy
picked up a loose puck and beat Cas,
ev for the first gear of the game and
the only goal of the period, Culli-
ton drew the only penalty.
In the second period the Colts
really went to town, when they ran
in Sour goals, and played the visitors
dizzy. Ross IvfcEwan' started the
parade when lie and Streets and Ken-
nedy .combined, MleEevan finally talc,
ing the pass from Streets and walk-
ing in, gave Casey no chance. The
sante thing was repeated shortly af-
terwards, • with Streets doing the
scoring honors and both McEwan and
Kennedy figuring in the play. Frame
ltreEwan and Ken. Pickett combined
for the next one, •McEwan accepting
a pass from Pickett, and making ate
mistake. Keu. Pickett scored the
lase one of the period .on about' the
nicest goal of the evening, he and
Holmes and McEwan coming through
tire' whole Mitchell team, •McEwan
finally Banding Pickett the puck for
the, final drive. There were no pen-
alties and the score stood 5-0..
The Mitchell boys are -a gomc
bunch of boys and are 'good sports
and they never gave up until the
final bell. They cane out determin-
ed to give a better' account of them-
lves in the final stanza and they
flayed their best hockey in this per -
Tod. Frank McEwan scored the first
goal of the period when he skated
the complete length of the left boards
and scored on a nice shot from the
side unassisted. •Bingetnan gave the
visitors their big chance when he
took a penalty for tripping, Mitchell
immediately put four men; up and C.
Stoneman scored from in front of
the Clinton nets 'with three other
Mitchell players hanging around.
Ross McEwan scored the last goal
on a wicked shot from in close. "Red"
Rath, although . not accounting for
any goals was always dangerous,
when he got 'those long legs and amus
going he outreached everything on
the lee,
fingenian was the only offender' of
the period getting two penalties.
The game was very clean through-
out, only three: penalties, two to the
honiesters : and one to. the visitors
and was well handled by Referee
Hillman of 'Kitchener.
In defeating Mitchell; Clinton earn
ed the right to meet Goderich in the
second round of the play-offs, and
the Sailors come here tomorrow
night, so be sure to be on deck as a
real thriller is looked for. •

Clinton started the scoring in the

CLINTON JUNIORS LOSE
Seaforth: ar.d Clinton clashed on
the latter's , ice' last Friday night,
and the Seaforth boys came off vic-
torious, the score being 5-3 hi their
favor. The game was productive of
some very fast hockey, with plenty
of thrills and spills.- Both defences
were handing out the body -checks 'in
great style and this, coupled with
some very close checking in centre
ice, in which the Seaforth boys ex,ceI-
led, made the game very interesting.
In the .first period, the . Seaforth
boys were perhaps thebest team,
working in around the net better
than Clinton,. and they were reward-
ed by a goal, Potter scoring on a
nice play. Clinton had their chances
but failed to click, The penalties
were: Cook and Elliott' for. Clinton,
Sills and Yungblutt for Seaforth.
Seaforth had their big inning in
the second period, scoring three goals,
Foster, Dunlop. and Hildebrand being
the marksmen, the laast •of these being
scored on face'off in front of the
Clinton nets. Cecil Holmes started
the scoring for the homesters when
he banged one in emus the end of the.
period. Tho settee was 4.11 for Sea..
forth. Penalties: Yungblutt,' Sills,
Buckman, Kennedy, Elliott.
In the third stanza Clinton 'tried
spesetelee but time after time they
ere stopped by their close -checking
portents. Finally they broke
rough and Rae scored on 'a neat
ay. A few moments later he again
is rewarded, ancl that made the
