COLTS BEAT FAST DUR-
HAM TEAM IN FIRST
OF SEMI-FINALS
ONE GOAL ADVANTAGE FOR
RETURN GAME TOMORROW,
NIGHT
(Score 5-4 For Clinton
In a most tliriIling game of hockey
and before the largest crowd of the
season the Clinton Colts emerged
with a one -goal lead over Durham
after a sixty minute exhibition that
left nothing to be desired from the
spectators point of view, except prob-
ably a few more goals on the part of
the Colts, The game was packed
with smart hockey all the way. Pen-
alties were costly to the Colts, Dur-
ham scoring all their goals when the
Colts were short=handed.
The teams were very evenly 'match-
ed and both have speed to burn, Ray-
bould was outstanding for the visit-
orswhi ile
Rath was very .effective
on the attack 'for the Colts.
As for ,the Colts' chances of com-
ing out on top on the round, they
never looked
loo d better,provided pr
ovr a the
boys stay on the ice. A costly and
unearned penalty to Streets -resulted
in the visitors. .scoring their first
goal. We could see no- reason for
the penalty as Kel. checked his man
fairly. •It was a see-Isaw battle all,
waythe y� with yr the Colts having the
edge in speed and combination.
The first period started off very
cautiously, but the Colts were first
to open up, and they had the visitors
going in circles for the first half of
the period. Waters scored the open-
ing goal on a long shot that Goalie
Shutz did not see. It was a high shot
that landed in front of the net end
slid Into the corner. The 'Colts turn-
ed it on and Rath, Holmes and R.
IffeEwan sailed in, Hiolmes to M'etwan
to Rath, who flipped the rubber in to
put the Colts two up. Streets drew
the first penalty and immediately
Durham applied the pressure, and
Raybould, who is a very dangerous
plan around the nets, took a pass
froth. Dean to beat Elliott from close
in.
Waters drew a penalty at the be-
ginning of the second period which
paved the way for twe more Durham
goals. Raybould picked up a loose
puck and scored the tying goal at the
four -minute mark. Before Waters
was back on Dean and Raybbuld com-
bined to put the visitors one up. Mc-
Girr andurrie d
C rowen Ili
p a es at
different times and the Colts tried
hard only to be outluckee on every
turn. Harold Gibbs missed' halfa
dozen chances with no one to beat but
the goalie. R. MoEwan tied the
count on a pass from Streets and in
two minutes the locals were one up
when F. McEwan and Gibbs combin-
ed for another nice effort, MoEwan
scoring. Streets was given his se-
cond penalty and the period ended 4-
3 for the Colts.
A. penalty paved the way for the
Colts next goal, Eividge getting
the nod for tripping. Rath and F.
N c wan worked a beautiful play go-
ing in close and "Red" scored his se-
Gond of the evening. Streets took an-
other penalty and Durham scored the
final minter, Shute to Currie to make
the score 5.4.. Shuts drew a penalty
and the Colts pressed hard, but "Lady
Luck" would not smile for them. They
failed to :beat the goaltender. It is
safe to say that the Colts had twice
the scoring chances of the visitors,
and only hard luck kept the lead from
being mueh larger. •
A one goal lead is a slender mar-
gin for -the return game in Durham
tomorrow night, but if the boys play
the brand of hockey they aye capable
of playing they are a good bet to win
the round,
Anyway about twelve hundred fans
left the arena well satisfied with the
game.

A 3.3 TIE IN ILDERTON
The final game with Ilderton was

the fust game, they emerged victors
on the round by the score of 8-3. A

time. the Colts were content to pro-

Play was very even in the. opening
stanza, Clinton scored the first and
only goal of the period when the Mc -
Ewan Bros. worked in close and
"Timmer" scored on a pass from
Ross.
The Ilderton boys started some real
fire -works in the second, when they
rapped in three quick counters to.
make the score 3-1. McCallum saw-
ed twice and Keene once. Their hopes
however, `were short-lived as the Colts
came Back and tied the count before
the end of the period. R. MoEtwan
ecored first, after some bard work a-
round
-round the Ilderton net, and Ken.
Pickett repeated shortly to make the
count 3-3 as the period ended.
Period three featured close -check-
ing, particularly on the part of the
Colts, and the Icicles failed to pene-
trate their defence, with the result
that the game ended in a 3-8 tie and
Ilderton passed out of the picture in
the-O.H,A. for this season, The final
score on the round was 8-3.
KINCARDINE HAND COLTS'
FIRST DEFEAT OF
SEASON
No doubt, the fact that the Colts
had had a hard ,game etvith Ilderton
the night before was the cause of
their first defeat of the season, when
on the following night they journeyed
to Kincardine to play the return
game with that team in the N.W.O.H.
A. According to, reports they failed
to play anything that looked like
their usual 'breed of hockey, parti-
cularly in the first period, when Kin-
cardine led 3-0 . However, once they
got the kinks of the night before out
of their system they made it merry
for the boys of the lake -shore town,
but the work of Riggin in the Kincar-
dine net was wonderful
to watch, t so
say some of the fans who were there.
Ile was a new member of the team
and local fans did not see him in ac-
tion here. They also had two more
men who did not play here and they
apparently strengthened 'the team. A
couple of high -lights not mentioned
in the report of the game to follow,
were when some rather erratirc fans
in one of the galleries of the arena
threw a rather large board on the ice,
which came uncomfortably close to
Several players, alea,the referee. Had
this board connected with anyone it
might have resulted in a serious, ac-

occurred, when some playful fans, at-

ored to acquire some of this flashy

sake, just something to remember
