CLINTON AND SEAFORTH STILL TIED FOR GROUP Hockey has been the most impor- tant topic of conversation the past week what with Clinton and Seaforth playing a series without end Inc the group honors, and Seaforth and Clin- ton business men joining in the fray to the extent of boycotting salesmen from the opposing towns. The story is going the rounds, anyway, that cer- tain` Seaforth , salesmen found they could do no -business in Clinton this week because they cheered for Sea- forth at the hockey game. :\ prompt retaliation was organized in Seaforth to mete out the sante treatment to any Clinton salesmen who do business in Seaforth. It is all good clean fun. Describing Tuesday night's game •which was played in Stratford arena to break the tie, and ended in another tie, the Stratford Beacon -Herald says: Hockey fever rages unchecked throughout Huron county today. Af- ter 190 minutes of play-off hockey, the Colts of Clinton and the Beavers of Seaforth haven't declared a winner of the Huron -Perth intermediate group. A crowd of close to 2;500— largest of the season, and mostly from Huron county—saw the teams battle to a five -all overtime draw, in what was meant to be the tie-breaker here Tuesday night. They'll be back again on Thursday night to resume hostilities. It was. de- cided to play a fourth game in Strat- ford on Thursday night with Johnny Jones of Guelph and Charlie Talbot of Preston as referees. Jones and Tal- bot handlel last night's game. Johnny Walker's Seaforth Beavers lived up to their reputation as strong finishers last night. For two periods they looked to be well beaten. The Colts led. 3-11 at the end of the first. There was no, scoring in the second. With seven minutes of the 'last ses- sion gone, ethe Beavers were trailing by three goats. Then Hal Gibbs got a penalty for tripping Archie Hubert of the Beavers and the whole com- plexion of the game was changed. Seaforth pumped in a pair of goals while the Colts were under -staffed. When 'Gibbs got back the Colts couldn't get the Seaforths napped. The Beavers banged in two more to grab the lead, at 111.115 of the period. They had the Colts on the dead run, bier the Blueshirts got their forces or- ganized again, in time to tie it up at 344.315. Neither team scored in the ov- ertime. • Paunch 'McEwen; the spearhead of the Clinton:attack, got the tying goal. The other snipers for the Colts were Hal Gibbs, -Ken Pickett, Red. Rath, and Hal Foster. Pickett's goal was awarded because Stade, the Seaforth goailie, tossed his stick. Smoky Harris and Archie Hubert, the former Tavistock Greenshirts, shared scoring 'honors for the .Beav- ers, with two each. 'Benny Flannery got the other one. Frank McEwen was around the Seaforth defence in the first minute of play, on a pass from 1115 brother, Punch. Frank puiled Stade out •oat po- sition and then slid the puck past the post at the open end d of the net, :\ penalty to Archie Hubert, the former Tavistock ace,` opened the way for the first goal, at three minutes. 'raking .advantage of the extra man, the blueshirts moved down, Hal Gibb parked in front of the Seaforth cat,.. took a pass from back of the net by Ken Pickett. Gibbs made no mistake on his shot. He drilled one high into the upper corner of the cage. Sniokcy Harris got up for a shot on the Obi - ton net while his team was short- handed, but the Seaforth snipers shot whistled harmlessly over the net. Clinton's second goal was of the awarded, variety. Ken Pickett, with the Seaforth defence behind hint, waltzed in on the Seaforth net. He shifted, pulling Stade out of position. The Seaforth goalie sent his stick flying across the open half -of the net. Pickett •didn'tget the puck into the cage, 'but Referee Charlie Talbot, who was on top of the play, awarded a goal for the thrown stick. Punch 'MlcEtvcnwas back within thirty seconds. He beat the defence, and had only Stade to fool,, but the goalie came sliding out to smother his shot. Archie Hubert finally gave the Sea- forth fans a chance to whoop it up, at 1.2.40. Doing a solo up the right rail Hubert fired one from just inside the Clinton blue line. It was a drive that left a trail of smoke. Elliott, the Clin- ton goalie, made a futile stab with his right hand, but the puck hit the strings in the upper corner. Clinton got that one back in less than a minute. During a jam session around the Seaforth net, Red Rath slid the puck through a tangle of feet. Stade apparently didn't see it until the puck was in the net. Chunky Archie Harbert chased a loose puck through the Clinton de- fense, to start the second period. George Elliott made a dive front the Clinton cage, but didn't get the puck. By the time Hubert got his stick on the disc again, he was past the post, but it was close' enough to bring a groan from the Clinton followers, When Benny Flannery of the Bea- vers drew a second Seaforth penalty for tripping Ken Pickett, at the four minute mark, the Clinton customers set up a chant for another goal. The Colts probably would . have accomm- odated then-., too, if Hal Stade hadn't turned in a smart effort in the Sea - forth net. The blueshirts kept fire mei) back of the 'Seaforth blue line, and gave Stade a 'busy session. At even time the Colts didn't have the scoring chances they had in the first period. Punch McEwen and Reg Porterfield fashioned their best scor- ing chance of the stanza, with Porter- field ortefield taking McEwen's pass in the clear and no person to beat except Stade. Reg, tried to drill the puck through the end of the rink, missing (Continued on Page Pive) JUNIOR FARMERS ;HOCKEY The Junior Farmers' League had no games 'last Saturday night owing to Back of ice.
