coupled with lows in Lucan
(7,4) last Wednesday and in.
Exeter (5.1) on Sunday
afternoon, have the locals in a
hole right from the start of the
season.
Clinton did not look good in
any position but goal on Friday
night. The defence was
especially weak as they were
caught covering the point on
several times leading to Mitchell
breakaways.
Mitchell hit first on Friday
night when Glen Nicholson
scored on a breakaway with his
team shorthanded. Clinton
quickly got the goal back on a
shot from the point by Jim
Toop which was deflected off
someone in front of the net.
Mitchell took the lead again'in
the second_ on another
shorthanded goal, thiS time by
Don Hiscop.
Bill Crawford got the goal
back to Clinton with a solo
effort on the prettiest play of
the night. He stickhandled his
WaY In on theleft side and left a
hard, high shot go that caught
the right upper corner net.
Stu Mustard gave Clinton a
temporary lead when he and
Bob Cook combined to score
after picking up a loose puck in
front of the Mitchell net.
But Mitchell put on the
pressure and had chance after
chance to score during the rest
of the game. With Clinton two
men short, Mitchell tied the
score with a goal by Hiscop from
Nicholson. Then at 15;16 of the
third period -the inevitable
happened when Dave Flanagan
Scored on an assist from Hiscop
to give Mitchell the win.
Sunday in Exeter John
Anstett scored the only goal for
Clinton late in the third period
after Exeter had already scored
five goals.
Exeter took a 3-0 lead in the
first on goals by Bob Roene,
Ron Janke and Peter
Kleinstaver.,. There was ,no
scoring in the second and Mike
Hoy and Ron Lindenfield scored
-in the third.

That's Clinton's tough young defenceman Jim Cameron on the bottom of the pileup as referees try
to separate he and Dave Flanagan of the Mitchell Hawks during u,skirmish in a Junior D game at
the community centre on Friday night. Earlier in the night, Cameron had been forced out of the
game for repairs that called far seven stitches inside and outside his mouth. Shortly after he
returned in the third period, a shoving match between he and Flanagan erupted jnto this scuffle.
These young girls are giant killers. Four of the five members of
this championship senior cross country team from CHSS are not
senior age group runners. Elizabeth Thompson, Alice Valkenburg
and Evelyn Benjamins were all midget runners while Teresa

There is a traffic jam at the
top of the standings in the
league this week with Bill's
Unknowns and Ups-n-Downs
both tied with 24 points and
Duet-Duets just behind with 23.
Close behind that are the
Generation Gap with 22
followed by Bryan's Belles, 18;
Juniors drop three straight
How do you judge a team that
completely overwhelmed
opposition in the first game of
the year, coasted to an easy 4,1
win in the second, then looked
"istlesa in the next three losses in
a row, one of them to the same
team they had bombed 16.3
earlier?
Were they lucky to win , the
first two games, or are they
playing far below form in their
last three matches?
Fans of the Clinton Juniors in
the OHA Western Junior D
league must be wondering just
that right now as the Juniors
prepare for their home game
against Hensel] on Friday night
at 8:30.
The team looked powerful as
they skated. and checked their
way toe that 164 win over
Mitchell in pre-season play, but
Friday night , they looked like
they were skating up hill all
night as they lost' 4-3 to the
same teen'''. If it hadn't been for
the strong goaltending of Dennis
Fleischauer, the score could have
been worse.
In my column last week, I made an error by leaving out some
information about new sweaters for local teams.
The local Lions Club have purchased new purple and orange
sweaters for the Midgets while the Bantams are the proud owners of
the new green uniforms.

An excellent turnout of parents and hockey fans were on hand
Sunday night to watch the Fish and Game Bantams play their first
exhibition game of the year. The score ended up 5-1 in favour of the
visiting Walkerton team. Rick Cameron, the only regular from last
year's club scored for Clinton in the third period after a play was set
up by Larry Carter.
Although the team is on the young side, they will give fans some
- entertaining hockey thiS,year as4hey"headepari the:puek :Very 'well.,
itlea'w; 1)01* *el-A:Joie war, .
Four exhibition games will be played this weekend. The Bantams
meet the Adastral Park team on F& ay night at 8 p.m. at the base.
Saturday night sees a double-header with the Bantams and Midgets
playing two teams from Detroit. Then on Monday the Midgets travel
to Wingham.

Let's keep up the excellent turnout in support of our Junior club.
The crowds can sure help the moral of the new entry. Although they
have lost their last three games, with some luck they could have won
last Friday's match with Mitchell.

Manager Newt Collins of the Colts informs us the Intermediate C
schedule will begin around November 20 with opponents from
Seaforth, Crediton and Goderich. Crediton trounced the local team
13-3 in a game played in Huron Park on Sunday evening.

For you ball coaches, a clinic will be held in Clinton area later in
January or Felainary conducted by the Montreal Expos coaching and
scouting staff.

Arena manager Doug Andrews is presently in Clinton Hospital for
minor surgery. We wish him the best for a speedy recovery and hope
to see him back on the job in the next week or two.

It's a beautiful day, this last day Of October. It is a day such as
fifty Years age, Lucy Would have enjoyed picking beech nuts, or
hunting hutternuts.
The rustling of one's feet Scuffing through the carpet of newly
fallen leaves;
Many a time she Uncovered a little Peelle of beech nuts which the
aquirrels had bidden or found a spot where they lay thick under the
leaves, It was such fun picking beech nuts and they made candy so
much more tasty and imparted a fine flavour to cakes,
In those days one had to be careful just where one picked them
for some farmers turned their pigs into a beech tree grove to flatten
them. it was cheap food for the farmers but the fat on the pork was
inclined to be soft and oily and the finished Produet not clam "A" as
those animals finished on hard grains. Of course in (hose daysTork
was not often graded es it is today, However, Lucy is sure, that piggy
porker enjoyed hunting nuts much more than being penned up in an
oft-time email dirty compartment and having slops poured into a
trough in the same pen. Pigs are naturally one of the, cleanest animals
in the world if given half ehance,
The squirrels are still hopping across the lawn, either burying nuts
on the lawn or carrying them down the bank. This year we have a
variation in colour, two with chesnut bodies and beautiful gray tails,
And then there are the usual black ones. They come over the barn
roof and down towards the house. About half-way they sit up on
the driveway and look towards the house and around them. Then
they make a dash for their next look-out — the trunk of the little
maple tree across the driveway from the sunroom. Here they hang
upside-down while looking and listening. Having ascertained that no
enenmies are in sight they either plant their loot or scamper across
Bayfield Terrace. This has been going on for so long that Lucy
remarked to Carl, "It must be going to be a hard cold winter."
"Oh, I don't know," he replied. "They'll keep it up until the
winter comes. But I wonder where they are getting their nuts now —
perhaps stealing from another squirrel's store?",
They will carry nuts for miles. When she lived, oh: Main Street,
Lucy had a Japanese walnut tree. The squirreli always took the nuts
before they were ripe. And once someone found some stored in a
little hollow on the river flats up opposite the "Hog's Back."
Over 60 years ago, Carl told Lucy, he found bags of butternuts
stored in a hollow cedar log and hollow stumps back near the river at
his home 5th con., Stanley Township. They were all packed in with
layers of grass between them. He took a bag full for his own use and
left plenty for the squirrels.
As Lucy writes the sun is shining, white fleecy clouds drift across
a blue sky. There has been no frost in Bayfield as yet. The last rose
of summer and the chrysanthemums, delphinums and marigolds
look bright at a distance but actually they are weather beaten with
wind and rain.
It' has been what some old folks would say, "A pet month". While
most of the maple leaves are down there are some young trees still
golden in their glory. And others cling tenaciously to life just as do
all living creatures.
The, black cherry shines in the sun with her rusty red leaves while
behind her the purple leaves of the snowball look more sombre.
And across this view flits a monarch butterfly. Lucy thought
they'd all made their way to Point Pelee a month ago for the long
flight to Mexico. Carl saw one or two the first of the week.
About a month ago Mrs. C. Bell brought Lucy a twig of apple
blossoms off one of her trees to add to unusual occurrences of
nature.
Also about a month or more ago, the robins which nested in the
garden disappeared. And John Land reported seeing a white bird
with a reddish breast with some other robins. He tried to photograph
it, but the light wasn't too good and he couldn't get close to it. Next
day all the robins had disappeared. It was an albino and probably a
member of a clutch in migration. Over 25 years ago one stayed in
the garden at the Albion Hotel for a while. And perhaps about nine
or 10 years ago in the spring a robin with a white throat and
speckled breast — no red — stayed in the garden at "The Hut"
temporarily.
After the rain, the first of last week, Lucy was surprised to see
about six robins on the lawn pulling out worms. And then they
found the little mountain ash tree and greedily stripped it of berries,
flying back and forth to larger trees.
Lucy was amused by a blue jay. He didn't compete with the
robins but gleaned berries they had dropped. Lucy watched him for
some time. He'd fly down, get a berry and either perch on a post or
go to the big arch where he'd hold it between his claws while he
pecked out the seeds.
Hope springs eternal within the human breast! This morning
about 25 northern robins put down to rest and feed in the garden.
And so Lucy hopes that these late migrations foretell more fine
weather, and that this so-called Indian Summer will continue for
another month. Down-A-Lanes, 16; the Lucky
Five, 7 and Don's Dynamos with
6.
