The clouds that ,have cleared refer to the release that has been granted by the '•OHA and paves the way for Clin- ton participation in the 'WOAA 8 ornebrew league. The trouble now is to find an •.executive that will run the entry. Bert Gliddon, who has managed the team for nine seasons, wishes to step down and -at present there :seems to be no person Whiling to take on this responsible job. The coaching of the team is another problem. No ane is ready and sager for this position and there are few men in the town who are capable of handling the chore. A meeting of interested persons and players is set for tonight `Thursday when the final decision "wall be made with regards to the team. Hockev Meetini TO -NIGHT (THURSDAY, NOV. 10) 8.30 p.m. COUNCIL CHAMBERS Anyone 'Interested In Hockey Is Requested To Attend Another problem facing .the ne club is the purchase of equipment. New uniforms are needed, all the sticks have to he replaced (the oldones were donated to minor hockey teams). These two items will cost close to $350 and to get the sweaters before the season starts poses as quite a feat, Troubles In Mitchell Reports from reliable sources in Mitchell say that the Perth County town is havinga lot of trouble icing a team. They have called several practice sessions but have had only three or four players at each. one. It is further reported that the powersbehind the scenes are seriously consider- ing'thowing in the towel. To top that off Hugh Hawkins, WOAA executive, reports from the OHA meeting on Monday that Mitchell, although they have ent- ered in the WOAA homebrew set- up, have not, as yet, asked for their release from the OHA. Without Mitchell there would be no playoff for the homebrew sec- tion of the group, Zurich, Lucan, Ilderton andthe others are alliin some section of the intermediate series. Other Teams Practicing While in Clinton the decision as to whether anyone will handle the team is to be decided, other teams are practicing regularly. Zurich worked out in Exeter on Tuesday night for the first time. They had over 20 candidates out including most of last year's squad, and a line from the Seaforth Baldwins of two years ago, Broome, Doig and Muir. Frank Ellwood, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Ellwood, Clinton, was also on the ice. Frank, station agent in Hensall, played his minor hockey in Clin- ton and will be well remembered' when he patrolled the left boards with the Seaforth Beavers for a You Can't Blame the Battery If the Starter is at Fault!

Frank has added a lot of weight and should be a definite asset to the Flyers this season. Lucan Irish, another team in the group, have been practicing for three weeks. They have play- ed three exhibition games, win- ning two and losing one. The Irish have strengthened considerably and are considered definite con- tenders for group laurels, if not the WOAA championship.

CDCI Footballers Lose 11-8 To Wingham In Final Game CDCI Redmen will have to wa for next year for another attempt to reach the Purple Bowl. When. they dropped a close 11-8 decision to Wingham on Tuesday their last hope of forcing a playoff for the Huron Secondary Schools Assoc- iation championship was gone and Wingham after an undefeated season had earned the right to re- present the league in the playoffs, Their first game will be against the winner of the Mitchell -Exeter series next Monday afternoon. The Redmen didn't get rolling until the final quarter and by that time they were trailing 11-0. They made a desperate bid and field goal attempt Iate in the third quarter could have tied the game had it clicked. There was also some feeling concerning a safety touch that Clinton received. Many felt that this should have been scored as a touchdown. It was rul- ed that the cars parked at the end of the field interfered with the play, and the contention was that the referees should have not al- lowed the people to park in this area. it the Redmen. They started out rather slowly and have improved each time out. Coach Ray BIe- man should be congratulated in rounding his team into a good football club and he should face next season with a great deal of confidence as the majority of his men will be back again. CDCI students went to Wing - ham in full force, several busses were required to accommodate the ardent supporters and they must have given the team a big lift es they out -cheered the home fans.

Clinton- touchdown (Wey- mouth) 5, Clinton -convert (Hawes) 6, Clinton -safety touch (Hugill) The game was just as close as the score would indicate. Neither team was able to score in the first half although both had several real threats. Wingham finally found the range in the third quar- ter when Don Murray gathered in a pass on Clinton's 25 -yard line and went over standing up. Tal- bert converted to make the score 6-0. A few minutes later on the same play Pete Kennedy was on the receiving end of the pass at the 25 and he had no trouble scoring. Both touchdown plays were identical, starting out as an end run to draw hi the Clinton de- fense then a quick pass to the man in the open. In the fourth quarter Way - mouth put Clinton back into con- tention when he scored. Jim Howes converted. Ron Hugill then was credited with a safety -touch when he fell on the loose ball M. the Wingham end zone. The referee ruled that cars had interfered with Wingham's attempt to re- treive the ball and gave Clinton the two points instead of the touchdown as would normally be done. It was a tough break for the Redmen. Big star of the game was Howie Armstrong who continued his terrific bone jarring line smashes for many large gains and, was the most outstanding player on the field for both teams.

Team Buy Their Own Jackets And Crests Since early this week you may have seen some of Clinton's young men sporting new green leather jackets trimmed with white, and bearing a crest indicating that they were Ontario Junior "C" baseball semi-finalists. After being eliminated by Dres- den in the OBA semi-finals, the team found itself in debt about $60. Clinton Lions Club paid the oustanding accounts. The team had been known throughout the season as Clinton Lions Juniors. To show their appreciation to the Lions and also to have a memento of their season's play, 12 players and three officials of the team purchased' the colorful jackets for themselves. The crests proudly show that the team was sponsored by the Lions Club. The idea to do this was spear- headed by Gerry Holmes, the pop- ular first baseman of the team. He also designed the crest, The jackets were purchased through Pickett and Campbell Men's Wear Limited at a reasonable figure; nElTE51 for W/SE e. BATE MAN .9 PtV4WER*t OUR.

Usually, there are plaintive cries from the loser, that he was robbed, or out -lucked, or the victim of circumstances. So it was a refreshing change, as we sat in the dressing - room of veteran Archie Moore, after he had been hafnmered into defeat by the iron fists of Rocky Marciano at New York's Yankee Stadium, and hear him say: "I have no excuses. The better man won. If' everybody enjoyed the fight, then I'm very happy," This must be a record of sorts, certainly- a precedent. Old Archie, hero of more than 100 fights, as he talked, was alternately pressing an ice -bag to a swollen right eye and rubbing the lumps on his head and neck- where the savage downward smashes of the champion had landed. Moore lost like a gentleman.•. Manager Charlie Johnsen had complained that Marelasso had butted Moore, which is possible, and had hit him low twice in the ninth round. "Archie screamed out br pain';• said Johnson, drawing liberally on his Imagination. We asked Moore if low blows had bothered him. "I guess he hit me low once or twice, but not hard blows and they didn't make the slightest different to the result," said Moore. Moore was hammered so badly in the eighth that Dr. Nardiello of the Athletic Commission entered the ring and asked him if he wished to quit. I asked Moore in the dressing - room afterwards what his answer to this had been, "Why' said Archie quietly, 'I told him that championships are and lost out there in the centre of the ring," Someone in the crowd enquired: "Is Murciano tI hitter you ever fought?".. "I wouldn't say he's t, hitter I ever fought. But", Moore added with a ch hits plenty hard enough for me."
