The first. two periods were unev- entful, except that lb; penalties were imposed. Both teases clicked siniui- tanedusiy with .power plays in the third period and Gibbs, who did all of Clinton's scoring, was the first to find the net, sinking the puckon a pass from R. M"eEwan after sixteen minutes. ItfeKay followed for Gode- rich on a pass from Allison and Gibbs repeated, assisted by Pinkett inside of two minutes.
