The total benefits awarded last January wero , 8 $237 056.8 , a 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. • Tho lineup: Mitchell—Goal, Casey; defence, C.

Colts,defeated the .Mitchellites by the score •of 6-4, thus giving them a two -goal margin for last nights game. ' Clinton started the scoring in the first period when Doug Kennedy scored after four minutes of play on a shot from the•blue line, Shortly after Frank MdEwan: put the Colts two 'up. Then Porterfield let go::a hare. shot at Elliott which he stop- ped but Culliton banged in the.re, bcund and just before the period. H. Wright scored' on a pass from C, Steneman. The'`peraod ended 2-2. three minutes after the second per- iod opened, Kel. Streets followed with another on a pass from Ross McEwan. Then, R. MesI6wen scored on a nicer play, and Mitchell finally scored when Culliton picked up ` a loose puck in front ,of the .Clinton nets, Period ended 5-3, The Colts settled back to take care cf their lead in the third, not taking any chances and as a result Mitchell had a margin on the play. Ken. Prickett 'scored the sixth goal for Clinton, and with five minutes left Roy Leppard scored on a hard shot from in close, which Elliott had no chance on. !George Elliott played a good game and was a big factor in lceoping the score down for the Mist- chellites, The final •ecot•e was 6-4 for Clinton; exeramloop Defeat Seaforth 4.2' In the final scheduled group gams played in Seaforth last Thursday ev- ening, the Clinton Colts eliminated the ,Seaforth Beavers from any chance of securing a play-off berth. by defeating them with a score of 4- A. large crowd of fans ,were in at- tendance from bothClinton and Sea- feeth,, The game was late in getting started, there being some misunder- standing about a referee, finally one was appointed from each town and the game started. Clinton carried the play on the' face-off and in a few moments Streets was rewarded, o a back- hand shot. ,Seaforth tied it p. Kenn n:dy put Clinton one up a ain, only to lose the lead when E. Ren nie scar- ed. The period ended 2-2. Seaforth scored. the only goal of • the .second frame on a. nice combina- tion play, which carried th m in on top of Elliott and ended up with the players in a, heap,„ but, the vrk was hi the nets. In the thins period the Beavers tried to play a defenawe ga o which proved disastrous to them. The per- iod was half over, and it w is begins Hing to look like so long fa Clinton, Frank McEwan, who was th hero of the evening, scored the t ng goal and also the winning one, he first one on a dice play, the t second one on a pass from the cors er, when he was left uncovered.

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.
