The Colts thereby continue to hold third place in the group one point over the high flying New Hamburg Roths who have won three games during the pest week and have definitely marked themselves as a threat for the group title. However the Colts position is very favourable as they have one more game to play than the Burgers. Edgar Stars Malt Edgar had his best night of the season as he fired six goala and assisted in three others to lead the Colts to their one-sided victory. Cooney McEwan also fattened his average with three markers and five assists. The game was very cleanly play- ed and there was very little heavy bodychecking in contrast to the last meeting between the two clubs. e Strong Injured Don Strong suffered a deep cut on the side of his head when struck by the puck early in the game. It took eight stitches to elope the injury. Don returned to the game for the last two periods, despite a large bandage that par- tially impaired his sight. Roy, the Electras regular goal- tender was not dressed for the game and his team missed him greatly. Rochon, a left wing man, took over for Hennington at the end of the first period when the latter's glasses were broken in a scramble around the net and turn- ed in a creditable effort. He creat- ed an uproar when in the dying seconds of the game he rushed out of his net and tried to carry the puck up the ice. He also took a face off in his own end of the rink much to the amusement of the small crowd. HOCKEY STANDING OHA INTERMEDIATE "B" (as of February 4) W L T G A Pts.

They now have a three point lead over New Hamburg their nearest rival. Roy Injured An unfortunate accident happen- ed early in the first period when Roy, the star netminder of the El- ectras, was hit on the forehead with the puck. He was taken to the dressing room and returned to turn in a brilliant effort. It is reported to have taken eleven stitches to close the cut. Garrow opened the scoring ear- ly, whipping the puck past Nedi- ger on a neat play.. The Colts got that one back four minutes later, Dolmage beating Roy from close in when Edgar centred the puck out in front of the net from the corner, Hanly combined with Counter twenty-five seconds later to give the Colts the lead and Counter ended the scoring in the first at 13:20. Eight penalties were handed out in the first period as both teams played a bruising brand of hockey. Manly received a 10 minute mis- conduct when he disputed an el- bowing penalty too vehemently. Murray Colquhoun and Gillrie were given minor penalties after they traded punches behind the Ei- ectras' net. Startcher pulled the Electras within one goal of the Colts early in the second but that' is as close as the RCAF crew could get. Schoentials, Strong and Counter with his second goal all beat Roy in the last five minutes, as the heavy checking Colts had the El- ectras completely disorganized. Edgar and McEwan added to Clinton's total in the last period to complete the scoring. An odd point about the game was the number of players that were cut by flying pucks, Besides Roy; Gilhen, Startcher and Bill Hanly all had to receive medical attention after the game. Manly, the flashy wingman for the Electras suffered a dislocated shoulder late in the game when he was checked by Danny Colqu- houn. It is expected that he will be lost to his team for the re- mainder of the season, The Colts defence played an ex- ceptional game. Bartliff, Schoen- hals and Colquhoun were visibly slowing down the speedy Electra forwards with their thumping bodychecks.. • Lineups: Clinton Colts: goal, Nediger; de- fence, Bartliff, Strong; centre, Mc- .4 Ewan; wings, Edgar, M.

What is known is that because of a bad first per- iod the "Burgers" were able to edge the Clinton Colts 6-5. Just how badly the Colts played dur- ing the first period is beyond words. They semed to be a team out for the first practise of the season and had it not been fur Bill Nediger's alert netminding the score may well have been 6-1 at the end of the first period in- stead of 3-1. As it happened the Colts came to life in the second and third per- iods and New Hamburg were hanging on the ropes at the finish. The game was only 44 seconds old when Arnold, Tolman and Boone sifted through the entire Clinton team and flashed the red light behind Nediger. Arnold scor- ed again at the nine minute mark when he was left uncovered in front of the net. New Hamburg continued the play throughout the peirod and were held off the score sheet by Nediger's efforts. The second period produced a better brand of hockey. Clinton gradually found themselves and al- though they only clicked for one goal had a definite edge on the play. New Hamburg stretched their lead to three goals in this period on goals by Honderich. and Arnold. Edgar netted the Clinton tally as he beat Haunn from close in after the Hamburg netminder had cleared McEwan's shot. The Colts really got into high gear in the final session. McEwan scored two quick goals in the first two minutes of play to put them right back in the game. Edgar gave the New Hamburg rooters a scare as he shot one that went right along the line before being cleared. Counter, Dolmage and Hanly also were right in but fail- ed to score. Kiassen scored what proved to be the vvireier for New Hamburg on a neat passing play, Swartzen- truber drawing an assist. McEwan scored his third goal of the period at 16:56 to make the score 6-5 and although Clinton continually attacked even when short handed in the final minutes they couldn't get the equalizer. This win gives New Hamburg 15 points and places them in four- th place, the last play-off spot. The Burgers are one point up on Mitchell and one point back of the Colts, Lineups: Clinton Colts: goal, Nediger, de- fence, Schoenhals, Strong, centre, McEwan; wings, Edgar, M. Col- quhoun; subs, K. Colquhoun, Coun- ter, Dolmage, Hanly, Draper. New Hamburg 8— Clinton Electras 5 A four goal outburst in the third period gave the New Hamburg Roths an 8-5 verdict over the luck- less Clinton Electras in a game played at the Lions Arena on Mon- day evening. The win moved New Hamburg within one point of the third place Clinton Colts in their fight for the last two playoff spots. New Hamburg got off to a very poor start and were very fortun- ate to come out of the third Der- iocn with the score tied 2-2, The Electras outplayed the visitors completely and with a break or two could have had a two or three goal lead. The second period was an im- proved brand of hockey although it did not offer much in the way of excitement as both teams were contented to wait for the breaks. Gillrie and Allan also suffered minor cuts, The third period was a different story with New Hamburg opening up with all their power. The play was constantly around the Mea- res net and Roy had to be on his toes to hold the Burgers to tone goals. Arnold led the attack along with his two linemates .Boone and "roman. Dickluck, Garrow and Boa- let were the top Clinton attackers.

A Strike—In Goderich Township (By Mrs. R, G. Thompson) Now, when the public mind has been so much taken up with the threatened railway strike, people might be interested in a sit-clown strike which took place in Gode- rich Township well over one hunce red years ago. When. John Elliott, lot 29, con- cession 5, was having the usual bee to raise his barn, all went well for a time. However, when no grog was forthcoming, the men sat down and refused to work un- til they had their whiskey. Mt. Elliott explained his temperance principles. He also stated his need for a barn and his need of help, but if they would not help him without whiskey, he would have to find some other way of getting his barn up. This he likely would have done, for he was the man who walked to London and home again in one day, when he needed a scythe and the merchant in God- crich said it would take two weeks to get one from London. After waiting considerable time and seeing no signs of weakening on Mr. Elliott's part, first one and then another gave in and the barn was erected without further in- ciden t. Another incident in connection with Mr. Elliott occurred when he gave the crowd two shillings for the cub hides at the big "Bear Hunt." These he wanted for pad- ding and decorating his harness. Having secured the hides he went away home very well pleased with his bargain. The crowd, however, sent a messenger off to the nearest tat.- ern for a jug of whiskey with which they made merry with many a quip over ,john having at last provided whiskey for the crowd. NoTt Mrs, R. G. Thompson, Clinton, is at present gathering information and stor- ies of early days which will b" compiled to form a history of Goderich Township, She would appreciate It If readers of this item could supply her with any Such infottnation. RCAF Volleyball News Interest in the intersection Vol- leyball League now centres around a very close race for league lead- ership between the team repre- senting the staff officers and Tel- ecommunication Officer entry. Both teams are now tied for first place with 40 points as a result of a TCO victory over the officers on Tuesday night by the margin of two games to one, The TCO team lead by F/O Norm Mason and F/0 Ray Dunn overcame the early lead and finally won after three hard fought games. This series of games was the best wit- nessed during the schedule and in- dications are that these teams will meet in the finals if they succeed in staving off the senior NCO's lead by W/O Rutsy Brown and F/S Terry Jackson. F/L's Frank Boyzchuk and Jimmy Hynds were the star performers for the offic- ers' team. . SORRY, OUR ERROR There was an error in last week's report of council meeting held on January 5. This report stated that Mayor W. J. Miller had requested Clerk Holland not to release the fire pumper into the hands of Bert- Gibbings on the morning following the meeting. It was not Mayor Miller who made this request. At any rate the re- quest was not necessary since ac- tion cannot follow discussion in committee, but only after motion for action is made in open council.
