Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1953-12-03, Page 10eAGE TEN Clinton Celts,certainty showing vivid signof the work of their new coach. Last Sat- urday night, playing against Mitchell they completely out- classed the visiting team. Their passing plays have started to hit their marks and the positional play that Bun Smith has stress- ed is a treat to behold, We have no doubt that this year's club will give all the remainder of the teams in the group a battle all the way. Members of the Kinsmen Club of Clinton certainly have their hands full each evening at Clin- ton Lions Arena, This service club is sponsoring a town league for boys between the ages of nine and 12 years, (although any boy who is too old for this group and not quite able to make a bigger team will be allowed to play. Approximately 40 boys turned out so far and last week the confusion was so great that those in charge were forced to split the enthusiastic lads into twogroups and play them on alternate nights. It is hoped that a four team league will be form- ed and that from the four teams a team will be picked to re- present Clinton at Young Can- ada Week that is held in God- erich during the Easter Holidays One thing is certain . . . if Clinton is to continue on in hockey we must develop the youngsters in our own town ... a town league is the only way to do this. So to the Kinsmen Club of Clinton we doff our weather-beaten lid. Thanks to Mr. Ries of the lVlilverton; Sun we now have a little more information on the Milverton Dominions. As usual Milverton has come up with a few new players and if we can be a judge they will be good men. hose who are most fam- iliar to Clinton fans that are still wearing Milverton colours are:. Carl Kipfer, Ross Kipfer, Bob Gaul, Delbert Schmidt, Larry McCallum, and Charlie Westman New members of the Domin- ions are defenceman Bill Stet- son, who has been playing his hockey in Hamilton's Industrial League. John Tomiuk, another defenceman is playing his first year with Milverton. John is formerly of Timmins where he played Juvenile, Junior "B" with Porcupine Combines, Ontario fin- alists in 1951-52 and last year Colt Scoring G A Pts.7'en.

Another first year man will be Jim Feuer, Jim patrols the right boards, played formerly with Hamilton, He has played with Simcoe Intermediates and Philadelphia of the Eastern Am- ateur Hockey Legue. Last but not least is Don Hartlieb, a left winger who is fresh from four seasons with Stratford's Junior "B" entry. All in all it looks like Milver- ton should be the team to beat again this year. 0 Four Teams in Midget Schedule Clinton, Wingham, Goderich and Lucknow will be the teams com- peting in, the WOAA Midget ser- ies of this district.

CL NTON 1K V-RECQRPP COLTS TAKE THIRD STRAIGHT IN VERY DULL GAME AT ELMIRA After travelling to Elmira thro- ugh some of the heaviest fog to hit this .area this fall Clinton's high- flying Colts took the measure of the Merchants of that town by a score of 6-4 to chalk up their third straight win of the current season. The game, a very dull affair, was witnessed by about 100 spectators. The Colts showed little of the fight that helped them defeat Mit- chell and stepping out on the big- ger ice surface put a decided crimp on their passing plays. The Colts finally started to find the range at the three-quarter mark of the first period, they tied the game by the end of the period, took the lead early in the second and never look- ed back. Bun Smith paced the goal -getters with two, single tallies going to Hanly, Strong Noble and McEwan. Elmira jumped to an early lead, scoring at the 1.14 mark, Fousk batting the puck past Nediger from close -in. Ertel added another, D. Shirk and Reger drawing as- sists. Smith put Clinton back in the game with a neat goal after McEwan and Murray Colquhoun had tried their luck. Hanly tied things up just before the period ended beating the Elmira netmind- er cleanly from twenty feet out with a low corner shot. 'The period was shortened by 40 seconds when one of the side boards was broken and had to be repaired. Dnn Strong put Clinton into the lead for the first time in the game early in the second only to have Schlett tie the score a few minutes later on a shot from well out that Nediger misjudged. Bun Smith scored his second goal of the night at 14,26. Penalties crept into the game in the latter stages of this period and both teams had a two man advantage but failed to cap- italize on their opportunity. Al May scored his first goal of the year on a long shot from just inside the centre red line. AI's drive seemed to be deflected off an Elmira player's arm and fooled Cobert completely. Elmira began to apply the pressure mid -way through the final period and had the Colts going in circles for a few minutes. Reger was finally rewarded for his efforts scoring from ten feet out when he was left uncovered as Clinton became very lax in their defensive tactics. Two minutes later Murray Col- Electras Win 1.2-4 From Crumlin Four hundred cheering hockey fans were treated to a bang-up hockey game between Clinton El- ectras from RCAF Station and the RCAF Crumlin team at the Clinton arena Monday night. Clin- ton won 12-4. The Electras wast- ed no time in scoring four goals in the first five minutes, and were never headed from then on. Seven- teen penalties were handed out. The win marked the second one for the Electras. The next home game is Monday, December 14. High scorers for Clinton were Petrie and Begin with four goals, Garrow and Minty with two, Clinton: Bannville, Dery, Fong, Balechuck, Begin, Britton, Blanch- ard, Garrow, Quinn, Savant; and Minty.

Clinton Court Magistrate's court opened for its second session this year in the old public school building, with Mag- istrate Dudley Holmes conducting. Edgar Rose, 20, RCAF Station Clinton, pleaded guilty to a charge of driving a motor vehicle while impaired, was fined $50 and costs, or seven days. This was a first offence, and the magistrate warn- ed that a second offence would be punishable with jail sentence. Antoine Garon, Clinton, pleaded guilty to a charge of hunting on property owned by Elmer Trick, after seeing signs posted, and be- ing warned not to hunt there, and was fined $15 and costs, with warning of greater fine and pos- sible confiscation of his weapon. A charge against a Stanley Township father for failing to send his children to school for' two months this fall, was dismissed by Magistrate Holmes, when it was learned that the youngsters had commenced attending Clinton Pub= lic School. The father had claim- ed that the rural school was more than three miles from his home, and was too far away to send the children. Ruling however was that the three miles distance should be measured from the schoolhouse up to the residence of the child con- cerned. AeumeemmnerenueniPMPRIMPIIMIIMIMMP Colts Show Power • Dump M tehe11104 Clinton Colts put on a surpris- ing display of power at the Lions Arena last Saturday night as they bad little trouble in downing a fast skating Mitchell team 10-4. The Colts were full value for their win and but for the stellar goal- tending of Harefield could have easily ran the count much higher. The passing plays of the locals were really clicking and defensive- ly the entire team kept their re- spective checks tied up completely, The team was led by the newly formed line of Draper, McEwan and Smith who accounted for sev- en of the goals and were on the ice when two more were scored. Bob Draper was top man in the scoring with his first hat -trick of the season, McEwan and Smith flashed the red light twice and Edgar, Strong and Noble rounded out the scoring. Powell, Gatenby and Weber were top men on the attack for Mitchell and were especially effective in the latter part of the first period when they rattled in three goals in the last five minutes, After that, the Colts, who had become a little goal hun- gry, settled down and played posit- ional hockey to walk off with an easy win. Mait Edgar was the first man to beat Harefeld, Mait broke out of his own end when Mitchell were staging a ganging attack with Mercer off for slashing. He carried the puck down the left boards crossed the Mitchell blue line pull- ed the trigger on a shot that nick- ed the post as it whizzed by Hare- feld. "Izzy" Powell was thumbed for slashing McEwan and while he was off Draper scored the first of his three goals. This was a partic- ularly pretty play with Smith, Mc - Ewan and Draper working a three way passing play to get•behind the defence. McEwan cut across in front of the Mitchell net, passed back to Bob who caught the shot side with his ankle high drive. Draper scored again at 11.35 on another three-way play and Smith made it 4-0 thirty-seven seconds SKATES SHARPENED We Have the Finest Equipment Lengthwise and Hollow Ground for Best Results Nelson's MACHINE SHOP 'CLINTON oA THURSDAY, DECEMBER, .0, 1958 later with Danny Colquhoun gett- ing the assist, The Colts at this point forgot about checking and really went after goals only to find that this style of play can backfire. Mitchell scored three times before the per- iod ended and the score at the end of the first showed Clinton in front by a slim 4-3 margin, In the second and third It was a different story, with Clinton stay- ing strictly to positional hockey and they were rewarded hand- somely. They caught the Mitchell forwards flat-footed and the Leg- ionaires defence were called upon to do a yeoman chore to keep the sore down as low as they did. An unfortunate accident happen- ed early in the second period when Nichol, Mitchell's sub-goaltender, who had been brought into the game at the start of the period was struck on the forehead by the puck and had to retire from the game, The cut required eight stitches. Don Strong suffered a wrench knee when he collided with a Mitchell player in•,the third per- iod. Bob Draper was also favouring his bad knee and it is hoped that he will be ready for next Satur- day's game with Milyerton. Eddie Dolmage, who played with last year's Colts was very effective on defence and with his partner Hein - buck rocked the Colt forwards on many occasions, Lineup MITCHELL: goal, Harefeld; de- fence, Dolmage, Heinbuck; centre, Weber; wings, Gatenby, Powell; subs., Gibson, Srpith, Flood, Roh- fritseh,.
