ANOTHER OVERTIME 'GAME Last Thursday night, in spite of the 'stormy weather, the Clinton Colts journeyed to Seaforth for an- other hockey game. The game resulted in an 8-6 vic- tory for Clinton but'cnly after play- ing ten minutes overtime. The Colts seem to be trying to es- Walsh s•tallish a record for overtime as ou' of the eleven games they have played seven have gone into overtime, which at least has the merit of giving the fans their money's worth. While the game was not very fast ' it was interesting and exciting and particularly clean, as only two pen- alties were awarded by Referee Ross McEwan during 'the whole game, each team receiving one. The big score for both teams gave the fans plenty to yell about. In the first frame, after three minutes sof play Gibby scored for Clinton on a pass from "Timmer" McEwan, This was soon evened' when "Rooster" Muir for the Sea - forth Beavers put a hot one past Twyford. Seaforth took the lead when Rennie on a flashing shot from the wing notched another, but it was of short duration, as right from the face off "Red" Rath, with a wicked shot from the blue line, beat Muir and tied the score. This was imme- diately followed by another as Mc - Ewan scored on a pass from Kern Pickett, the period ending with the score 3-2. The Colts being one up. Ten minutes load passed in the se- cond period when Doug. Kennedy, or a lone rush, bulged the twine with a knee high shot from the blue line. The next was scored when Al. Camp- bell passed from the corner to Rath, who was camping in front of the goal and caught the puck in mid air with his stick and batted it in, putting the Colts three up, which Iooked like a safe margin, but Rennie for Seaforth tore loose and scored three goals quicker than it can be told, a couple of them catching Twyford off guard. Gibbs had to leave the game on ac- count of a broken skate, which war somewhat of a break for Seaforth (no pun intended), who certainly played as they had no alternates tc relieve, them. The round ended witl- the score 5-5. In the third period both teams got dawn to business and checked hard. The Colts broke the tie when Rath on a pass from Campbell scored again but 'twas soon evened when Hilde- brand for the Beavers sent a fast one at Twytord, which he touched with his glove and it dropped in the net With the score at 6-6 the'third stan- za ended, meaning overtime. In the first five minutes of overtime neither team was able to score but when they changed ends it wasn't long beton Red Rath scored two in short order, bath, from the blue line which were too much for Muir, who during thir frame had given a spectacular ex hibition of goal tending. For the re; maiming two minutes the Coltsplay- ed ion the defensive and kept the Bea. vers from scoring, the game ending 8-6 for Clinton. It was. decidedly Rath's big night as apart from scoring five of the Colts eight goals, three of them un- assisted, he did some great stick. I andling and poke checking and war ertainly,deserving of the unstinted P raise he received from hid' team- mates. The line-up: Seaforth: Goal, G. 'Muir defense, T Chuff and R. Muir; Centre, G. Hit- ebrand; wings, S. Rennie and H. Hildebrand. Clinton: Goal, Twyford; defence Mott, Kennedy; wings, Gibbs, Me - wan; Centre, Pickett; alternates, Rath, Campbell, C.C.I.

Tre- wartha of town, who is on the teach- ing staff of the East York Colle- giate, who occupied an apartment with a couple of other teachers, was in a fire last Thursday morning, They were awakened early in the morning when someone, who had been working with pipes and dis- covered the fire, gave the alarm, ant' they escaped in their night attire. One of the girls, Miss Bateman, was somewhat frostbitten and wa- unable to return to her school duties that day but the other girls were none the worse. The word came over the radio at neon the same day and on being called by 'her parents at the school Miss Either answered herself, thus allaying all alarm. The cause was supposed to be a defective hot water heater switch and was soon under control, but water and smoke destroyed almost everything in the apartment. The chief of the East York Fire Brigade was overcome by smoke and had to be carried from the building.
