VARNA Mr: and Mrs. Lloyd Keys. `;,and family spent Friday evening • With Mr. and Mrs. Alf Inge:, CLINTON COLTS AN DURHAM•DEALOCKED AT END OF ;SECOND GAME, MONDAY NIGHT'S GAIVIE ENDS IN' 2.2 TIE: IECIDING GAME IN ' GALT TO -NIGHT • FIRST GAME ALSO ENDS IN 1-1 TIE . Colts Take Early Lead On Gibbs' Goal In Rirst Period; Raybould Ties Score Iii' Early Stages o£ Third 'Period. - COLTS CONTENT WITH TIE. - The following is an account of the game in - Durham as written -by a Durham correspondent, and published in the 'Owen Sound Sun -Times, which" was kindlyhanded to us at the game here the other night: Clinton and Durham battled sixty thin t u es to a 1-1'deadlodc in the first game of their O.H.A. 'intermediate B series, goals to count. The tie game, played here onSaturday-evening be- fore 1,000 cheering .fans, was the fastest and most closely contested game seen • htirethis 'season, e son, Clinton opened the scoring midway through the first period and held the lead un- til early in the third frame, -when Durham tied the,eount.- Clinton.baek- checked well and had Durham's smooth -passing forward lines tied up. Son'te heavy -body -checking was done by both defences, but the game was a clean one, only two penalties being handed out by Referee Bert Hedges of Toronto, whose sati officiating wonthe g h praise of the fans, Waters of Clin- ton and Moses .of Durham drew the only penalties of the game, both in the second period. The game was, halted by 'injuries to players on three occasions. in the second period Rath of Clinton fell near the Durham net and "slid into the boards striking 'his knee. He had to retire from the game. Cassidy of Durham and 1VIcIfay of Clinton were both hurt in the third period, Cassidy receiving a scalp injury when hit ov- er the head with a stick, while McKay was injured when he stepped in front of a shot from McGir'r's stick. Both players finished the game, The game opened with a rush and Durham scored within a minute, but the goal was called back for an off- side. - A few minutes later a Clinton rush ended in a scramble which knocked the Durham net loose from its -moorings and a Clinton player lifted the puck into the eage, which was standing at right angles to its normal position. The ' goal did not count. Gibbs and Pickett finally scor- ed for Clinton when they caught four Durham men up the ice. A Durham rush had been halted at the Clinton blue line and the puck was shot back. A .Durham defenceman moved up to take it, but the Clinton pair checked hint and raced in past the remaining defenceman. Pulling Schutz out of the net, Pickett shoved the puck, a- cross to Gibbs just -outside the goal crease and the latter deflected it into the, open net, Later in the period Schutz brought a groan to the lips of the Durham fans when he dropped the puck after stopping a shot and the disc fell on the line in the goal - mouth: However, he managed to clear before a Clinton player could bang the rubber into the cage. Close checking and sustained speed featured the rest of -the game and al- though both netguardians had plenty_ to do the majority of the attacks were smothered before they -reached dan- gerous,positions. • Durham, still was trailing as the final period opened but when the first •rush of the frame forced :a face, off to one side of the Clinton net, Raybotild secured the puck and side- stepping his cheek, walked over in front of the net, to drill the puck past Doak. - - After this goal the visitors seemed content to play for a tie. Although they took advantage of every open- ing they got, the larger portion .of the remaining time they played . a defensive 'style„ clearing. the puck down the ice at every opportunity. Although Durham had a distinct edge in territorial play the consistent back- checking of the, visitors broke up the majority of the locals' plays before they got within striking distance of the'.net and Doak handled all long shots with ease.

After a great deal of telephoning and dickering, arrangements • were finally made for the:.. third and de- crdmg, gains oetween Durham and Clinton, which is to be played in the Galt arena,, to -night, with the game' to commence at 8,15. Neitherteams' could agree on a lace to" play, s g p p Y, o the 0.11,A. stepped in and ordered it played there. Clintonwaspulling tot have it played in Stratford, and Durham for Galt, so ' it seems the latter got their way, although we can't see .v �Y, as h the game e las ty ear had been played there. We think Clinton should have been given some choice in the matter 'this year, and we are sure a larger crowd would have attended in Stratford than Galt. ,However, what the 0.H.A. says goes, and all; roads lead to Galt to -night. The lergest'crowcl that was ever packed into the arena was present on Mondaynightt o see oeoE •I n the most exciting and closely contested hockey games to be played here ' this year, when Durham and Clinton hooked up for their second, and what was sup-, Posed to have been the deciding game. Those two teams had played, to a 1-1 draw 'last Saturday night in Durham in the first game. As was the case cast year when the same ttvo hooked up in the semi- finals,- fans were present from the whole district, and the visitors brought along a fine bunch of sup- porters, who cheered lustily for their team. Goderich turned out in full force and this was greatly appreciat- ed by;both local fans and players, al- so a fine crowd from Seaforth, who no doubt were anxious to see one of their ixometotvners in action with the high -flying' Dnrhamites. As a result an hour before the game was called the arena was practically full, but -they kept packing • them in until they were hanging from the walls, en .the crosswires, and every avail- able place was jammed, and the old rink resounded with cheers as it nev- er had before. There were more than two hundred turned away. It seemed too bad that the weath- erman could not have been a little more congenial and served np soine decent ice. Here was a perfect set- ting for a perfect hockey game, a capacity crowd of over 1,500 and two splendid and evenly matched teams, i both ready to give alI they had to stay in the running for the Intermed- iate B. Championship, - and the fact that these two teams had Struggled through a hectic three game series last year, with the Colts finally win- ning out by one goat only served to make the competition more keen: Ev- en With the ice in the condition it was, we would •not hesitate to say it Was the most exciting, although prob- ably not the best exhibition of hoc-. key seen here this season, After going to .Durham and hold- ing then to a 1-1 tie, the hometown -fans had the idea that the Colts would hand the Durhautites their first NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS? The young man in the abaae pie-- ture is standing on the side of the ' road up on "Vinegar Hill" and as yore can see, is even a. little too high up,' to place his elbow, comfortably onthe: crossbar of the telegraph pole along side of him._ However, it must be ad-'- mitted, that the pole is several feet: behind him, he is really not near it, - only the e erson taking the photoo saw the possibility of an effective picture - by by a little .maneuvering. But even: so, the snow pile was a good height,. about sixteen feet. The young man ins the picture is Mr. Owen Combe, only- son nly sonofCl. Col. and Mrs. Combe of to}vn.. The picture was taken by J. E. Hovey. By the way, these p0105 are forty live: feet high.. defeat of the season, and as a result, earn the right to goon in the play - downs. But the Durham lads had their own idea about this and gave notice of it when in the early stages: of the second period t]eY took a lead 0f . 2- 0, and with 9 it t the ice in the condi- tion it was it began to look hopeless for the Colts, who rely on ' their• team play, and must have good ice in arced to put it into effect, However - they fought an uphill battle all -tlte• way, never giving up and witty testi than three minutes left between then and eliihination, Kel. Streets shot the tying goal' past Schutz. R. McEwars had netted the first one early on In, the period,' and then did the, Home- town fans cheer. Before either teams' ' got going again the bell rang, and: both were ready tocall it a day, thea ice being by this time, little better' than a Stvintming pool. And as in the, series last year a third' game will be: necessary to declare a winner,this. to be,piayed in a neutral rink, Which: will have an artificial ice surface, and:: on .the good ice you just watch. the, 'Colts go. It should be a great game and may the best team win: Oe the - play the, other night it looked like a toss-up, but on the hard ice, we'ili: give the Colts the edge. With the drop of the puck: in+ the first period the Durhamites-reeed in and they had the locals on the. run for ' about the first ten minutes, and Doalr. was hard-pressed to keep tI'lem off the score sheet it was an entire re- versal of form from the first game, when the Colts had done the same' thing in 'Durham. The game had not, progressed far when it was seen that Durham had an advantage on the soft, ice, ,being a much heavier team. Whit Durham a man short, Dean took the puck at centre ice and barging hist. way in with the whole Clinton team - around Itiiii he get a shot away to the .top right-hand corner that fooled • Doak, it was very poor, checking on• the part of the locals. - Gibbs had - previously shot the puck into tits • Durhain net, but the referee refused:' to listen to their protests, and the • goal judge, a Durham jean, said it wasn't in. He was retoved at the'. end of -the period. This was the se- cond goal the locals had been chiselled (Continued on page 5) WE CERTAINLY HAD SOME SNOWDRIFTS Much has been said and written about the great depth of snow in, this locality during -the winter, which has now, presumably, passed.
