Redmen Lose First Game
To Mitchell 24-11
A powerful Mitchell football
team trotted on to the RCAF
Sports Field on Tuesday afternoon
and handed Clinton's CDCI Red -
men a 24-11 defeat in the first
game of the WOSSA semi-finals,
They will now have a 15 point lead
to carry into the second game of
the series which will be played in
Mitchell on Friday afternoon,
Too 11lncli First Quarter
The 15 point lead was no in-
dication of the play of the .com-
plete game but was just the dif-
ference of the teams in the first
quarter. Clinton, fast becoming
notoriously slow starters, just
couldn't get unravelled in this
chapter. Sawyer took a very bad
kick-off and ran the ball back to
the mid -field stripe. Aitcheson, a
powerhouse both on offense and
defence for Mitchell, on the very
first play got ten yards, Mitchell
seemed to be on their way to a
touchdown without losing possess-
ion of the ball when they fumbled
in the backfield and K. Youngblut
recovered.
Clinton tried to crash through
the centre of the line on their first
play but made only a small gain.
Ashdown faded back for a pass
which was intended for Weymouth
but Roberts, the alert Mitchell
quarterback, intercepted a n d
scampered 30 yards unmolested for
Mitchell's first TD. Aitcheson con-
verted and the score was 6-0.
Clinton returned the kickoff to
the 30 yard line and immediately
teemed to come to life. Ron Car-
ter raced around right ,end for 20
yards, I-9w.&s picked up another
ten right through the centre of
the line; Murray Colquhoun took
an Ashdown pass and another first
down, 'Then, with the ball only 15
yards away from pay -dirt, Mit-
chell's line held. Ashdown tried
two forward passes that were
knocked down and Ron Carter
trying to pick up the necessary
yardage for a first down was a
few feet short. Mitchell took over,
marched right back down the field
until Roberts threw a strike to
T. Sawyer standing in the end -
zone, Aitcheson converted, to give
Mitchell a 12-0 lead and enough
for the victory.
Second Quarter Better
Mitchell continued to run all
over Clinton early in the second
quarter. Aitcheson ran for three
successive first downs before Clin-
ton's line stopped him, and the
threat, on their own 22 yard line.
Clinton's ;hie couldn't cope with
the charging Mitchell crew and
consequently the backfielders were
being rushed and their plays were
being broken up before they got
started. Carter was downed on
his own two yard line and with
the situation very desperate Ash-
down passed to Colquhoun, Mur-
ray worked himself into the clear
and had picked up 25 yards be-
fore Aitcheson hauled him down
from behind with a bruising
tackle. This play seemed to give
the Redmen a much needed lift
and from that point on they were
really in the game and there was
very little to chose between the
two teams. Clinton continued to
march down the field but the half
ended before they could score.
Tempers Flare
As the game progressed, temp-
ers on both teams flared and on
several occasions players were
threatening to fight.' The officials
handed out a great many penalties
for unnecessary roughing but this
seemed to have little effect as
each tackle became harder and
harder.
Third quarter the hest
The third quarter was the best,
at least from a Clinton stand-
point. This was the only part of
the game in which the Redmen
outscored the opposition. Ron Car-
ter started the ball rolling when
he recovered a blocked kick and
ran the ball to Mitchell's 25. Ash-
down fired a pass to Carter that
moved the ball to the five yard
line and Ron Steepe, went over
centre for the necessary yardage
and five points for Clinton. El-
liott's attempted convert was
blocked. Mitchell roared right
back with Aitcheson leading the

Clinton
ch so was
attack as usual. Aitcheson a best man on thefield all af-
ternoon. This 202 -pound half -back
played the entire genie and was
the key man on offense and de
Tense. He is a powerful runner, a
severe tackler, and will be the man
to stop if Clinton is to go to the
Purple Bowl in London.
This time he picked up 35 yards
right through the heart of the
Clinton team, carrying three
would-be tacklers on his back for
ten yards before theysucceeded
in bringing him down. A few plays
laced Kramer took a handoff from
Roberts, picked up his blockers
and raced around right end for 20
yards and another Mitchell TD
that was converted by AiteheSon.
After Mitchell kicked to Clinton
an Ashdown to Colquhoun pass
netted 20 yards. Ron Carter car-
ried the ball around right end for
another first down, Ashdown at-
tempted another pass to Carter
but it was incomplete. Ron Carter
moved the yardsticks as he picked
up 15 yards on a nice running
play and Murray. Colquhoun car-
ried the ball to the four yard line
a few plays later.
Carter tried to crash through
centre but was stopped inches
short. On the next play Ron
Steepe scored his second touch-
down of the afternoon. Elliott con-
verted and the quarter ended with
Mitchell out in front 18-11.
The play in the final quarter
was very even with Mitchell scor-
ing the only touchdown on a pass
from Roberts to. D. Colquhoun.
Aitcheson converted for the fourth
straight time.
Clinton threatened late in the
quarter. They worked the ball
down to Mitchell's 15 yard line but
were penalized 15 yards for rough-
ing and they never recovered.
Mitchell got possession of the ball
and kept it until the game ended.
The Redmen will have their
backs to the wall for the return
game on Friday but with a few
breaks they could easily overcome
the 15 point bulge that Mitchell
now enjoys. If they can get rol-
ling right from the opening whistle
the score could have a very def-
inite Clinton trend.

()DPI Addition
Councillor
On motion of M, J.
Agnew, seconded by Councillor D.
M. Pegg; council expressed itself
in favour of the erection and eq-
uipping of an addition to the Clin-
ton District Collegiate Institute at
an estimated cost of $180,000 and
will issue depentures for the same
amount if approval from the Mun-
icipal Board is granted and the
approval of all the affected mun-
icipalities is received.
By-laws
Reading of the building by-law'
presented at the special council
meeting on November 5, was taken
as read the first time. The by-
law ret issuing of $5,000 debent-
ures for the re -wiring program
planned by the Clinton Public
Utilities Commission received two
readings, and now awaits approval
of the Municipal Board,
A by-law concerning the sale of
fireworks received first reading,
which when passed will allow re-
tailers within the town to sell
fireworks, although. it will still be
illegal for any person to set fire-
works off within the municipality.
With another by-law the council
designated as an area of subdiv-
ision control all farm lands within
the municipality of the town of
Clinton, not sub -divided before
November 9, and these must now
be subdivided before any lots may
be conveyed, Coun. Pegg explain-
ed that this is the same by-law
that Hullett Township has had on
its books for some time, and is all
part of the planning board idea,
a by-law passed with future dev-
eloptnenta in mind.
Question to the Electors
The by-law to set date, time and
place to put a question to the
people was passed revoking the
earlier by-law passed on November
4, stating that the question would
be put to property owners, and
stipulating that the question would
be put to the electors. This ques-
tion, '"Are you in favour of the
Town of Clinton retaining the old
school building for municipal of-
fices and renting the remaining
available space?" will be put on
the same day as the municipal el-
ectiohs, December 1, and the by-
law and proclamation appear on
page five of this paper.
Councillor Agnew stated that on
this question, the council did not
feel adequate to deal with it, but
is asking for a directive, therefore
there is no other body to ask than
the people who vote for the coun-
cillors.

Football Title
(By John McDougall)
The final game between Clinton
and Seaforth high schools was
played at Exeter last Friday to
break the existing tie and to de-
cide the 1953 Huron Secondary
School Association rugby champ-
ionship, Clinton captured this by
defeating Seaforth squad 18-11,
Clinton kicked off and Seaforth
caught the ball on their own 45
yard line. The first quarter was
uneventful thought both teams
threatened.
In the second quarter Seaforth
gained control of the ball and on a
long pass went over for a touch=
down. The convert was successful
and Seaforth went ahead 6-0. Sea -
forth again got the ball by inter-
cepting a Clinton pass and onan-
other long pass went over a their
second. touchdown. Clinton blocked
the convert, giving Seaforth a 11-0
lead. Then Clinton came to life.
Seaforth intercepted a Clinton
pass behind the goal line and then
fumbled it. Bob Carter of Clinton
recovered and was over for Clin-
ton's first touchdown. Bob Elliott
converted, making the score 11-6.
Clinton kicked again and recov-
ered the ball on Seaforth's down.
Bruce Ashdown made a spectacul-
ar run for a second touchdown.
The convert was again successful
and at half time Clinton was a-
head for the first time with the
score 12-11.
In the third quarter, first Flann-
gan of Seaforth and then Way -
mouth of Clinton and MacMillan
of Seaforth were put off for fight-
ing. Clinton again came through
as Ron Carter. made our third
touchdown. Bob Elliott kicked the
extra point. Clinton was now on
top 18-11.

quarter.

Snowplow Needed
Chairman of the public works
committee, Reeve Nediger report-
ed on estimates received from
Dominion Road Machinery, and
Bickle-Seagrave for the job of put-
ting on a wing and other attach-
ments on the town truck, which
with the v -plow now owned by the
town would keep the streets clear
of snow. The price, including com-
plete hydraulic lift, varied from
$2,740 from the Goderich firm. to
$1,102 from the Woodstock com-
pany. Mr. Nediger reported that
both companies felt that for the
town's, purpose a one way plow
would be more suitable, but since
they owned a v -plow, the reeve
felt they should make use of it,
with a wing. Otherwise, they
would be unable to finance the
purchase of the one way plow and
the job of plowing would have to
be done by a private firm.
Coun. Agnew reminded that the
truck had been bought with the
idea that it could be used to plow
snow, and if it were not used for
that the streets foreman would
have little to do. Decision was to
buy the wing and get the truck
mounted ready for snow,
Town Dump
Deputy Reeve Crich, reporting
for the health and welfare com-
mittee stated that the situation
at the dump was fair, that it had
been bull -dozed recently, and that
without supervision the garbage
men were not dumping fax enough
back.
Legion Ilall Taxes
A request from Clinton Branch
No. 140, Canadian Legion, for re-
bate on 1953 taxes, as requested
by the Court of Revision was left
in the hands of Clerk Holland to
investigate the legality of the
move, and action to take place
at the next meeting.
Police Report
Coun. Agnew presented part of
the police report. A suggestion
that bicycles should be licensed
was considered briefly. A mobile
telephone unit in the police cruis-
er was suggested favourably by
Mr. Agnew, who was of the opin-
ion, that it would be a good thing,
and would be in effect the same
as an addition of an extra man to
the force, and after the initial cost
would need only $440 a year to
maintain, minimum, No action
was taken.
A request from Chief Constable
J. Ferrand for three days leave
of absence to attend a convention
of the Chief Constables Associat-
ion of Ontario, to which he be-
longs, meeting in Kingston, was
refused on the grounds that since
the police budget was overtaxed
this year, the council could not
afford it.
Sewage Rental
Coun. Agnew also reported on
the fact that the Par Knit factory
had been advised that when its
consumption of water reached
that set as a minimum, then the
sewage rate would be lowered.
The other councillors agreed that
this was the proper step, and
Coun. Draper went on to say that
he felt there should not be obstac-
les set in the way of industry.
within the town.. He said that
"we're always looking around to
encourage new industry, and T
feel that council should show some
consideration and encouragement
towards a growing and expanding
industry already situated here."
Hallowe'en Party
Deputy Reeve Crich reported on
expenses of the Hallowe'en party
for which although the council
had signified their unwillingness
to share the cost, nevertheless on
the agreement of the other mem-
bers of " the special committee
council would stand one share of
the $60 expenses incurred, amoun-
ting to $15.
Unused Articles
Councillors were• presented with
the fact that the town owned sev-
eral items not in use. Reeve Ned-
iger mentioned the bicycle now in
the basement of the town hall, and
also the grader. Deputy Reeve
Crich mentioned the horse-drawn
mower. "We have a buyer for it.
Where is it?" he said. Coun. Ag-
new mentioned the music and mus-
ical instruments once used by the
Clinton Citizens' Band, and now
stored unused over Steadman's
store; as well as uniforms "prob-
ably spread all over."
