Hard Luck Costs Beavers
Game in Clinton on

PLAY FINE HOCKEY

The 'Seaforth Beavers have been
palying stelestr hockey the past week.
In one of the best games ever to be
played in the Clinton rink, the wee
nosed out of victory in the laifo
Minutes of play last Friday night.
The Beavers were leading 5-4 when
the puck was shot by a Clinton play-
er and glanced off Sam Rennie's
!shoulder into the net. The Clinton
team eotched the only goal in the
overtime period.
Seaforth 13, Wingham 1
• The Beavers went on a seofring
rampage when Wingham played here
on Tuesday and 'piled up 13 goals
-against the one lone tally by the visi-
tors. The Beavers played heads up
hfockey ell during the game and look-
• ed like a real team. If they win one
Mere game they are almost sure of
a play-off position. With the brand
of hockey displayed on Tuesday night
they ought to win this group Welch
is one of the strongest in years. The
winner should go far 'towards the
0.111..A. championship.
The Wingham team were a clean
bunch of players but lacked the scor-
ing punch of the locals. Their team
ethowed lack of practise and they
were unable to cope with the com-
bination of the Beavers. A free-for-
all in the first period mtarred an
otherwise perfectly clean game.
Rust Holm -es opened the scoring on
A. Hildebrand's pass and Gord. Muir
Made it 2-0 on Sani Rennie's pass.
Foster scored from a face-off; E.
Rennie tallied on Foster's pass and
Muir again scored on Rennie's pass
to put the locals 5-0 to end the first
period. G. Trott scored on a lone
rush in the second and Holmes on
Muire pass and Wingham notched
their only counter when Somers beat
Doig on a ease. from A. Potter.
In the third frame the Beavers
again went wild and scored six more,
Holmes 2, C. Flannery, Foster 2• and
Muir getting. therm The Wingham
team kept playing away but it was
evident they were very badly beaten.
They played the'game to the last,
howevereand put up a nice clean bat-
tle.

appearance in Clinton. The game
was all that could he desired and ex-

McMILLAN CUP PLAY
AT HALF WAYMARK
Egiriondville and Winthrop
Are Successful in Sat-
urday's Games.
The Junior Fan/lees Hockey sche-
dule is half over with Winthrop
heading the list and Egmondeille
close behind. Neither. of these teams
have lost a game SO a good game is
assured the fans on Saturday -night.
Tuckersmith lost the first game last
Saturday night to Egmondville 2-1
and Winthrop ,defeated St. Columfban
6-3 in the second:.
Egmondville 2, Tuckersmith 1
In the fent period it looked as
though • Taceersmith would came
&rough with a win. They outplayed!
the Egmonsaille squad and were
leading 1-0 as the period ended. Jim
Doig scoredi on a pass from Bob
Archibald. Play was fairly clean
with Paul Doig drawing the only
penalties when he tripped Dale and
McGregor.
Egetiondville came back to forrn in
the second and the period was fairly
even. V. Bell scored the tying goal
on a nice pass from John Flannery.
Paul Doig drewetwo more rests and
C. Flannery one. - In the third per-
iod Eganorudville stepped' out and
forced the Tuckersmith team to guard
their net. The play was around the
letter net most of the period and the
puck was kept inside their zone. Fin-
ally George Kruse 'beat Sandy Doig
on a nice combination play with C.
Flannery making the pass. Several
times Sandy Doig held out what
seemed like cirtain goals. Penalties
for this period: P. Doig, "'N. Patrick,
C. Trott..
Winthrop 6, St. Columhan 3
The Saints put tea a stiff but los-
ing battle against the Winthrop
team. Too much individual work was
the downfall of the Saints. The Win-
throp teani played the forward pass
continually and had combination down
pretty well. Sam 'Rennie, .however,
made several lone rushes that netted
three goals far hie side.
In the first period Stan Nicholls
scored on his own rebound. Dan Mc-
larthy tied the count two minutes
lanr on sif pass from Hanley. Only
three penalties were handed out—
Robertscon, Nicholls , and E. Derrance
getting them. Rae Carter scored in
the second on Stan Nicholl's pass and
Sain Rennie put the count to 3-1 on
a lone rush. •
Sam Rennie again came through.
with lone rushes in the third perioa
and scored on two of them to make
the count 5-1. Dan McCarthy shat
end scored on Joe Malone's pass and
Mac Robertson notched the Saint s
third courier when he picked up the
loose peck. Stan Nicholls finished
the rcoring on a pass from Rae Car-
ter. Joe Lane was put off for crass
checking and Clarence Muir, the
Saint's goalie, drew a minute's rest
for hitting Stan Nicholls wish his
