MAY 7, 1953 Clinton's Hockey Colts Organize Lorne Brown Elected President Clinton's hockey prospectS took a decided turn for the better last Monday evening when an enthus- iastic meeting of 30 interested fans elected a new slate of officers and planned for the coming 1953-54 season, Lorne J. Brown took over the president's chair from Jack Scrut- on who withdrew at his own re- quest. The new president is not new on the hockey scene, having been at the helm when the Clin- ton Lions Juvenile team won the All -Ontario juvenile title in 1940- 41. "Brownie" addressed the gath- ering and emphasized the amount of work and enthusiasm that would have to be put forth by each and every, member of the club if Clinton is to have a con- tending team. He added that the team was losing a valuable man in Jack Scruton who has so ably handled the president's duties during the past five years. He said that he would do his best to insure that Clinton fans received the brand of hockey that they so rightly deserve. Bert GIiddon was re-elected manager, a post that he has held since the end of World War II, He said that he had intended to. drop from the hockey picture this year. He added that he had been in- formed that there was a clique running the club and that he wanted it clear that this was not true. Every season we have held a, public meeting for the election of officers and every year only the players and a few interested people would attend, "Hockey has become too big for our present organization and we have to ex- pand or drop out," he added. "I feel that with the proper set-up we can ice a good club and with the .enthusiasm that is apparent tonight we will be able to carry on," Other members to 'be elected were C. J. Livermore, vice-presi- dent, and M, J, Schoenhals, sec- retary -treasurer. A finance committee, who has the responsibility of finding the money to finance the new pro- gramme, was set up. It is com- posed of George Levis, John An- stett, Joseph Murphy, Caryl Drap- er, Harold Elliott, Dick Jacob and Harry McEwan. This Week's Special BOY'S 2 Pant Suits Sizes 10 to 16 THUR., FRI., SAT.

Challenge Match Fails To Dethrone Champions In Five -Pin Bowling Champions of Group A in the mixed bowling league, this past winter, the "Boomerangs", led by their captain, "Chip" Dale, ac- cepted the challenge of the "Spit- fires" and proved that they are the best team for this season by decisively defeating their oppon- ents 2050-1892. The Spitfires had led the league throughout the sea- son and were eliminated in the semi-final round by the Pepper- ettes by a very small margin. They believed that they could de- throne the champions but the Boomerangs dulled their hopes by coming up with a fine display to win by 158 points. Next Monday evening, the Boom- erangs will play the Alleycats, winners of the Group B champ- ionship in another challenge game.
