As a result of their last minute rush, the Mustangs now face Port Elgin in the first round of the playoffs, and open the best -of -three series in Clinton on Friday night at 8:30 p.m, No times or dates have been set for the other two games. Things looked pretty gloomy for the Mustangs last Thursday night as they lost 10-0 in Kin- cardine to the first place naturally speaking Kinucks, but then routed second place Listowel 9-4 Friday night in the Cyclones own arena; outscored Kincardine 11-8 in Clinton on Sunday afternoon and then picked up two more points when Hanover defaulted on Monday. The six -point weekend vaulted Clinton past Listowel and into second place. In Kincardine on Thursday night, sickness and injury played havoc on the Mustangs in their 10-0 loss to the Kinucks, as the Clinton boys were shut -out for the first time this year. The loss didn't bother Extremely cold weather can be dangerous to be out in unless you have some idea of how to dress properly and what precautions to take. This column will deal with a few of the most important' items concerning sub -freezing treking. The most important thing to remember in below freezing temperatures is not to overexert yourself. If you "work up a good sweat" in cold weather, and then are forced into relative inactivity for awhile, there is a good chance that you will chill down in your perspiration soaked clothing. This can lead to a cold as the mildest result, and hypothermia in the most severe cases. The other big danger in cold weather is serious and permanent damage to the lungs. Prolonged vigorous activities which cause heavy breathing can result in quantities of frigid air being drawn into the lungs. This air is not prewarmed in its rapid transport through the air passages and can actually freeze lung tissues in. its most severe cases. This damage can be permanent,. but fortunately severe chest pains usually cause a halt to, the activity before the danger point is reached. When the pains,do occur, however, the danger point is not far off and any prolonged exertion can result in immediate and permanent damage. Everyone knows that the ,head is one of the body's major heat exchangers., so wear a hat_ Most people who are not accustomed to wearing a hat are surprised at how warm 'their feet and hands stay when one is worn. I prefer a style that can come off as soon as I feel myself heating up or be snugged down when I'm getting cold. Hard candy or chocolate bars are a good thing to have along, especially if a prolonged outing is in store. The body burns up a lot of calories when producing heat and the extra sugar supplies the energy required to keep that "internal furnace" going full blast. I also find that a tin of sardines makes a tasty snack on the trail, but make sure you get the kind with the "key" openeg. It's very frustrating to say the least, to have a tin of sardines that you can't get into because you forgot a can opener. Don't smoke or drink while you are trailing. Nicotine causes the capillaries in your cir- culator`y system" to contract, reducing the blood flow. This makes you feel colder, especially in the hands and feet. Alcohol also has bad effects in cold weather. Always be on the lookout for frostbite. Ears, nose and cheeks are the most common victims and appear to be turning white as the freezing progresses. If you are out with other people, get in the habit of checking each other frequently for signs of frostbite. If you are on your own, stop regularly and warm up these extremities with your hand. The last and probably the most important thing you should do is just good common sense. If you are striking out off the beaten path, even if it's just to the back 40, tell someone where you're going and what time you expect to return. A broken leg or severely twisted knee can mean death this time of year. Enjoy the winter with its pleasures and beauties but when you do head out, prepare for it, and use a little common sense. ANNOUNCEMENT them that much as they journeyed to Listowel • Friday night and behind the three goal per- formances of Phil Arthur and Dave Stephenson won 9-2. Other Clinton marksmen included Tim McLean, Paul Priestap and Paul Helesic with one tally each. Clinton goalies John Page made 34 saves to Listowel's 38. In a fast skating, high scoring game in Clinton on Sunday, captain Paul Priestap led the Mustangs with a three - goal performance against the Kinucks while Phil Arthur and Bill Lewis each picked up a pair. Single tallies went to Kerry Johnston, Gary Peters, Dave Stephenson and Tim'MOLean. The Mustangs were behind 3-1 after the first period and down 7-4 at the end of the second, but rebounded in the third period behind a goalie change and some rough playing by Kincardine that saw the Kinucks shorthanded most of the third period and three Kincardine players thrown out of the game, two of them with two - game suspensions. Mustangs' Phil Arthur takes a pass from Bill Lewis (18) 'from behind the Kincardine net, and seconds later scored the first of 11 goals for the Stangs, as they beat the first place Kinucks 11-8 to grab second place in the league. The Mustangs open the playoffs this Friday night at 8: 30 -p.m. when they take on the Port Elgin Bears.

Clinton hosts area tourney Central Huron Secondary School was a beehive of activity on Saturday, February 10, as approximately 180 volleyball enthusiasts from six area schools competed in an elementary volleyball tournament. The schools that competed in the girls' and boys' divisions were: Blyth P.S., Clinton P.S., Holmesville P.S., Hullett P.S., Huron 'Centennial (Brucefield), and Seaforth P.S. Games started at 9:30 a.m. and continued non - atop for six hours, as each team played in a round robin competition. Five points were awarded for match wins (a two game out of three series) with two points being awarded for the single game win. Results were as follows: boys — Blyth, 25 pts; Huron Centennial, 22 pts; Hullett, 19 pts; Clinton, 10 pis; Seaforth, 7 pts ; Holmesville, 4 pts. Girls — Blyth, 25 pts; Huron Centennial, 22 pts; Seaforth, 12 pts; Holmesville, 12 pts; Clinton, 5 pts; Hullett, 5 pts. Clinton skaters will try -tests in Blyth Several skaters will be trying tests at a special test day in Blyth on February 18. There will be several club members trying the Ten Fox as well as Canasta and Swing dances. Also preliminary figures and first figures will be tried. if a skater is preparing for a dance test, it is usual for the professional torask a partner to "take her through" the dance. Partners for preliminary and junior bronze dances must be amateurs, preferably of the opposite sex. Partners for senior bronze and all higher dance tests must be of the opposite sex and may be either professional or amateur. For the low test dances, then an amateur skater will be asked to practise With and to partner the test candidates. The task of partnering all the low test dance candidates frequently falls to one or two of the best dancers in the club. These skaters give up their own practice time to. perform this service for others. They also risk incurring *the wrath of skaters and -or their parents if the test is failed. From these considerations, it will be apparent that some form of appreciation, at least verbal, is in order.- by Audrey Middleton.
