Total -22. 0 Colts Double Score On Mitchell,' 8-4, In Last Night's Game; Schedule Ends Clinton Colts doubled the score on Mitchell Legionaires last night 8-4 and firmly : entrenched them- selves in second place in the lea- gue standing. The win for the Colts 'eliminated any possible hope that Mitchell held to . reach the second rung and insured a , first round playoff for these' same two clubs. It was a very -fast game from the opening whistle with Clinton having a definite edge throughout, they outshot the Legionaires by a wide margin and only the work of Chessel in the Mitchell net kept the score down. Bill German, who is improving With every game, turned in an excellent effort in goal fol the Colts. The Colts play- ed well . as a unit with special mention to the defence: Mercer, Armstrong, Edgar and Ken Colqu- houn who were "racking up" in- coming forwards with the greatest style, and this good hard body- checking certainly slowed down the speedy Mitchell crew.

RCAF Cagers Edge Stratford 44-34' The RCAF Station Clinton Bas- ketball club played host to Strat- ford "Y" team in what proved to be a real game of basketball. The game was hotly contested and proved to be a thriller for those fortunate 'enough to see it. Clever passing plays, fast action, close checking and deadly shooting kept the fans on the edge of their seats, and they saw the flying Clinton team emerge on the top end of a 44-34 score. The scoring was fairly well spread out on the Clinton team; the high scorers be: ing: McDonald, 13; Gairns and Wiper, 8 points each; high scorers for Stratford were Easson, 18; Hesson and McTavish, five each. Clinton: Wiper, Esterbrooks, El- liott, McDonald, Lefurgey, Cain, Gairns, Zahalan, Bezan, O'Neill, Blades, Marshall. Stratford: Milligan, Hesson, Mc- Tavish, Hamilton, Easson, Evans. Officials were Dick Allen, RCAF Station, and Pat Humphreys, Clin- ton.

Colts End Home Game Schedule With 10-5 Win Over Centralia RCAF Flyers Clinton Colts ended their home schedule on "a victory note last Saturday night when they took• Centralia Flyers into camp 10-5 in a hockey game that was very scrambly and uneventful. Centralia gave the the Colts plenty of trouble until late in the third per- iod when the locals took command and ran in four quick goals to 'settle the issue. McEwan and Smith paced the Colts' attack with four goals each, Bill Hanly notched the other two markers. Rouleau and Bird got two goals each for Centralia. Clinton carried the play to the Flyers for most of the game and should have made the score much more one-sided but for erratic shooting. Centralia took an early lead in the first but Clinton tied things up before the period ended. Smith put Clinton ahead to stay at the six -minute mark of the second frame but until the last period out- burst the Colts just managed to stay one goal up. This ends a very successful schedule on Clinton ice for the Colts. They have dropped only one decision, that one to Milverton on January 2. Away from home they lost four games.

SKATES SHARPENED We have the Finest Equipment Lengthwise and Hollow Ground for Best Results Nelson's MACHINE SHOP CLINTON Canadiens with two goals, single tallies going to Murray McEwan and Paul Schoenhals, This game was very even for two periods but in the final round the Bruins showed a much superior passing attack and had little trou- ble outscoring Canadiens 3-1. Scoring Records Frank Glew added to his league lead in the individual scoring de- partment. He now has scored eight times and is credited with five assists. Peter Garon holds down the second slot with nine points and Ken Currie and Ronnie Liver- more have moved up to third and fourth place. Ken Currie is the player with the most penalties. He has spent ten minutes in the sin - bin. game for league leaders with his marker at the 5.46 mark of the third period. Peter Garon was the lone marks- man as Canadiens shutout the Leafs 1-0 in a thrilling game. Bobby Watkins was the big star of the game as he kicked out many shots that seemed to have "goal" written all over them. The two teams battled through two com- plete periods aild half -way through the final frame before Paul Sch- oenhals passed to Garon for the goal. • Canadiens and Bruins played the highest scoring game of the sched- ule on Tuesday evening with the Bruins coming out on the long end of a 6-4 score.
