CLINTON NEWS -RECORD
Colts Eliminated
In Two Straight
(By RSA)
With her ensign flying full at
the mast and her guns booming
defiance, the good ship "Clinton
Colts" foundered and sank be-
fore the big guns of Milverton
Dominions in ,OHA Intermediate
"B" group finals in Clinton Lions
Arena Thursday evening last.
Colts lost the game 8-4. The
result gave Milverton the new
best -of -three series decision in
two straight, Dominions having
won on Stratford ice two nights
before by 7-4.
Playing before a packed house,
Colts rose to the occasion with
some fine hockey, but the fast -
breaking and , well-balanced vis-
itors had just enough edge to win
handily.
The homesters hung on dogged-
ly to a 2-2 draw at the end of
the first period, but with only a
few seconds to go in the second
stanza, Dominions counted the
odd one in seven to make the
count stand 4-3 in their favour.

In the third period, Milverton
held, full command of the situat-
ion and tallied three straight
goals without reply before Billie
Haply shoved the puck past Gropp
with only 20 seconds left. C. Kip-
fer got that back five seconds be-
fore the final gong sounded.
The best of feeling existed be-
tween the two teams in the nine
games they played with each
other over the season, and the
Clinton lads made many fine
friends up Milverton way. The
fact that the play-offs went seven
games before a decision was
reached indicated the relatively
even strength of the two outfits.
The Colts have no regrets; they
experienced quite a !successful
season.

CDCI Juniors Squeeze
into WOSSA 5A Fours
(By Alex Wilson)
CDCI Junior boys eliminated
a strong Aylmer team on Mon-
day, March 20, by 26-7, and thus
gained the right to enter the
WOSSA play -downs in London.
These two teams played 'a. two -
game paints -to -count series, which
saw Clinton coming out on top
by a mere two-point margin.
The first game played at Ayl-
mer resulted in a win for Aylmer
by a score of 26-9. Those who
saw this game say that the Clin-
ton boys were hampered by a
large floor and a close zone de-
fence played by Aylmer. Our
boys are accustomed to neither
of these two things and thus
didn't play their usual type of
basketball. a
