The Clinton Lions scored six goals in the first period when the visitors were utterly helpless but in the second frame Exeter’s Lions gave a better account of themselves check- , ing the faster Clinton forwards and held them down to four goals. It was in this period that Exeter’s club got their only counter. Moore tallied on Fahrner’s pass. In the third period Clinton ran wild again and got the remainder of their goals. The game scheduled for Clinton Monday night was postponed to a later date to give the Exeter team a chance for a little more practice. The teams were: Exeter: Goal, Southcott; defense, Hicks and Kestle; centre, Moore; wings, Lawson and England; alter­ nates, A. Hodgins, J. Hodgins, Wat­ son, Baynham, Fahrner, Hannigan.
