Little Jack, three years old, was sitting in the wagon and Orville tried to catch the team, but aS he was getting into the wagon it hit a tree and he was thrown from the wagon. The team went about fifty rods when they hit a telephone pole and broke the reach of the wagon.

It was a fast­ game and the crowd that was on hand were given plenty of excite­ ment. The third period produced the best hockey. In the second period both teams were inclined to mix it and there was an abundance of high sticks, slashing with the odd trip thrown in for good measure. At gome stages it looked like a re­ vision of the old Cyclone Clinton opened the scoring through the opening period hold the lead for a few when Creech tied it up on a pass- out from behind .the net by ,Snell. During the melee in the second period the visitors ran in two goals, A bit of loose play predominated around the locals net when these goals were scored. The locals were held off the score sheet during this period. 'The third period started at a fast clip with Clinton endeavoring to hold their lead and the locals ’, giving everything they had in an ef- ■ fort to tie it up, Time and time-- . again they, were in for pjese . but were unable to get the puck past Elliott. Hfowever Bassmere and Foster broke away together and on a nice bit of combination ths latter scored. The locals worked desperately to overcome the one- goal handicap but the time-keeper’s bell spelled defeat. The two teams were quite evenly matched, the for­ mer time playing a one all tie in nintey minutes. The referee, from Clinton, at some stages of the game- appeared to be in quite a muddle and the the the Fostei’ for the locals turned in a nice game. On Wednesday night the locals wind up the belated sche­ dule when the boys from the County town invade the locals. This should be a good game as the Goderich boys must win this game to assure them of second place. The locals are of the opinion that tlrey can turn back the sailors and will be .fighting Iff win their last game. The line-ups were: Clinton—Goal, Q. Elliott; defence Kennedy and J. Elliott; centre, Rath; wings, McEwan and Twyforc;' subs., Gibbs, Pickett and _ Cooper. Exeter—Goal, Ford; defense, D. Wells and Passmore; centre, Snell; wings, Gascho and Creech; subs, C. Boyle, Foster and Hoggarth, League-, midway only to minutes had trouble in keeping out of way of the puck. Kennedy on defense for Clinton was perhaps winner’s best performer while If® fcVlwS (A Former Resident of Exeter) Will Speak in the Thursday, Fr February SUBJECTS,— Thursday-—“Was the War of 1914 the Beginning of the End?” Friday—“Is Christ Actually Coming Again?
