CLINTON COLTS 1VIAKF IT THREE STRAIGHT New Hamburg Beaten 10-2. Clinton Colts rang rip, their third successive win of the season by a de- cisive score on Tuesday night when they defeated New Hamburg by a score of 10-2. It was probably the best, exhibition the Colts have given. They were skating noticeably faster and their plays were clicking better. On the scoring chances they might easily have had several more goals. Pickett, although he did get two goals, was in several times only to be foil- ed by the goaltender, and several players were stopped at the goal - mouth by Pfaff, who although he al- lowed ten goals to get by hint, through no fault of his,stopped as many more thatahave might easily y been. goals. It marked the first time this year the Colts have gotten into the two fig- ure scores. The line of McEwan Bros. end Foster were largely respon- sible for the lob -sided score, account- for six of the tengoals. R. McEwan also assisted in Rath's goal. F. Mc Ewan drew down scoring honors with a total of four goals. In the three scheduled games played the Colts have scored 23 goals as against 8. Four penalties were handed out by Referee Charlie Talbot, of Preston, all for minor infractions, apart from that the game was cleanly contested. A change in goaltenders was ne- cessitated due to the fact that Harold Doak, regular goalie, developed a lance back and was unable to be in the line-upl, Clarence Neilans, regu- lar Junior goaltender was thrown in- to the game and gave a very credit- able display. Probably the best ice of the season was available for the game and about three minutes after the game had started McEwan Bros. and Foster worked right in on. Pfaff and F. Mc - Ewan opened the scoring. R. McEw- an and Foster drew clown assists on the effort.- About two minutes later "Red" Rath took a pass from R. Mc - Ewan at the blue line to put the Colts two up, Rath sinking a nice shot be- hind the unprotected Pfaff. Five minutes later Kenny Pickett scored from a face-off by the side of the New Hamburg net. Both teams reverted to some long shooting : for the balance of the period interspersed by an odd flash of speed and combination by the the Colts, wh000und Pfaff their on- ly stumbling block on several occas- ions. The Colts started the second . per- iod off by getting penalties instead of goals. Pickett and Johnson drew two close together and New. Hamburg attempted a rather futile power play with no results, and "Bonnie" Foster picked up a loose puck at the Clinton blue line to speed down the centre lane for Clinton's fourth goal. Bon- nie made the New Hamburg defence look bad on this play. McEwan Bros. clicked for goal number five, Frank accepting Ross' pass and beating Pfaff quite handily. Kel. Streets and Ken. Pickett then scored a nice goal on an end to .end rush. Pickett pas- sed to Streets,' who, uncovered, took it in full stride to streak in on the helpless Pfaff for goal number . six, That goal cane with just two seconds remaining to be played in the second period. . After scoring three in each of the first two periods, Clinton went one better and ran in four in the final 20 minutes, but some rather loose. work in covering around the nett gave New Hamburg two openings. and they counted on both occasions. "Punch" McEwan got the first. goal of the period, Foster assisting him in the effort. Then Ken. Pickett went lir to split the defence easily to make the score 8-0. Not yet satisfied, the McEwan Bros. combined for another:, Frank scoring his fourth goal oh Ross' assist. Then New Hamburg got :in a couple of good licks and Bowman shot their first goal past Neilans from a rather loose scramble when he took a pass from Reid. Two minutes later Eichler got another on a pass from Boehler. Bowman's pen- alty, which followed a minute later, perhaps paved the way. for Clinton's tenth goal. McEwan Bros. shot in on a power play and Ross again passed to Frank who made no mistake. The bell rang with the Colts still pressing for more goals. The fans left the rink well satisfied that the Colts are becoming their former selves again. An interesting intermission attrac- tion was the antics of Charlie Pearce, "King of the Hoboes".

At th present time a deplorable state of of fairs exists and housewives are bein constantly bothered Py -nose seekin a areal. He felt that the new counc should adopt the meal ticket syster Since the Government assumes 70 of the amount expended for transie relief, this would appear, to be a sat isfaetory way of handling the prob hem.
