Well, that wasn't a wedding or such, but a parade of the fans of the Clin- ton Redmen heading for the RCAF Station Clinton sports field to see Clinton play a sud- den death game with Seaforth. The cars were all gaily dec- orated with crepe paper and Christmas tree decorations. (By the way, this is the best show of school spirit we have seen so far. Keep it up -kids!) Clinton's Bob Elliott kicked off. Elliott played an excellent game in the first quarter and started Clinton on it's way by scoring a rouge (1 point), Ron Carter, also a star, made a touchdownin this quarter. Elliott came back again to con- vert, making the score 7-0. Clinton scored a safety -touch before the quarted ended to make the score 9-0. The second quarter was high- lighted by brilliant running plays by Murray Colquhoun, Dennis Weymouth, and John Hartley, Ron Carter scored his second touchdown of the after- noon. This major was not con- verted. Ken Porter's interception of a Seaforth pass and Carl Falcon- er's recovery of a Seaforth fumble, were the key defensive plays of the quarter, Both these plays turned back serious Sea - forth threats and kept them off the score -sheet. Clinton's final point of the game came early in the third quarter when Ron Carter made a rouge, This gave the Redmen a 15-0 lead. Carter made some excellent gains on the ground and was .a standout all after- noon. Seaforth averted a shutout in the final quarter when Sandy McMillan went over for a touch-, down which was not converted and the final score read Clinton fait° Masks EVERYTHING FOR.... costumes n°ise makers COSTUMES Owl -- Magician — Cowboy Peasant Girl -- Witch Red Riding Hood Batman Dutch Girl All at 49c MASKS Rubber Masks Cloth Masks Half Masks 5c to $L50 HALLOWE'EN PARTY NEEDS Hallowe'en Place Cards --- Tally.

Upset Wingham 45-0 (By Roni Waldron) • Clinton was the scene of the Redmen's blast to victory over Wingham on Thursday afternoon. Wingham's kick-off was fumbled and recovered by a Clinton play- er, but Wingham regained the ball after Clinton's third down, Clinton's Ron Carter ran through the whole Wingham team in a try for a touchdown, but much to his dismay he was finally tackled. Fans cheered as quarterback Bruce Ashdowne went over for a touchdown. Since the convert was unsuccessful, the score was, then 5-0 in favour of Clinton. Ron Steepe's major chalked up five more points for the Redmen and Bob Elliott's convert raised the score to 11.0. In the second quarter Ron. Steepe went over again and Bob Elliott made an- other successful convert. Howard Armstrong intercepted a pass intended for Wingham, and then after losing the ball, Clinton later regained it in a kick intend- ed for a Wingham player. After Ron Steepe's first down for CIin- ton, Ron Carter pushed through and Bob Elliott made the convert, bringing the score to 234 (Jim Howes, who was injured last week, supported his team from the sidelines this game,) At half time, three cheerleaders from Wingham and five from Clin- ton cheered their teams on. Clin- ton cheerleaders were Edith Jones, 011ie Wilson, Patsy Scotchmer, Muriel Howard and Kathleen Tur- ner. Wingham kicked off to Clinton at the beginning of the second half. Ron Steepe made another touchdown and Bob Elliott made the convert, score 29-0. Ron Car- ter came back for another major, with no convert, and the score soared to 34-0. Bruce Ashdowne tried a quarter -back sneak and went over for his second touch- down of the game. The convert was successful and the score climbed to 40-0. Alan Mitchell made the last touchdown of the game after a breathtaking run. The final score 45-0. Wonderful game, boys. Now on to take Seaforth! — o Mrs. L. A.
