COLTS WIN FINAL GAME OF SEASON SON Lose Round to Woodstock 8-7 The hockey season is over as far 'as the Interinediates are concerned, Woodstock eliminating the Colts by the narrow margin of .one ' goal on the round. In the game here Tuesday night it looked as if the -Colts would end up on top, especially in the•final. frame, but the cards were stacked against thein. The visitors brought along !with them a three -goal lead as a result of the first game played in Wood- stock last Friday night and had to fight desperately to keep on tap. The Coltsed lay one of "the best games of the, season and it was only the superb net minding of Murdock, plus a lot of hick, that kept, them out. In Woodstock Friday night the Colts staged a great comeback in the final period. The first period was scoreless, the second ended 4-1 in Woodstock's favor which was increas- ed to 6.1 in the final frame before the Colts got started. Three quick goals by the Colts changed the picture and then Wodstock banged in another to give them a safe margin to bring here for Tuesday night's tussle. As play got under way. here Gibbs was eager for a counter and in an early sally threw his line offside. From the faee,off Henderson, always a dangerous man, trapped the puck between his skate,s broke away for a wicked shot on goal. Clinton came back strong, Frank McEwen taking a corner shot from Ross McEwen which was nicely handled by Murdock. Then it was a case of skate and check. Smith of Woodstock seemed always. to be in the right place at the right time and was. instrumental in break- ing up many a Clinton rush. Doug Kennedy drew thefiais t penalty of the game' for interference, but Wood- stock were unable to break through. At 9.45 the Gibbs,Pickett-Streets line combined for the first goal of the game, Pickett feeding a pass to Gibbs in front of the net. Gibbs shot to the right confer of the net whizzed past Murdock's outstretched hand and was a beauty. Grant and Kennedy of Woodstock had a grand chance to even the count as they stormed the Clinton net and it was Timmer who cleared Grant's shot. R. McEwen was carried off the ice when cut over the face by Haw - son's stick and the accident seemed to disorganize theof n g Colts. Hawson •a loose puck and drilled a .shot between the goal post and Elliott's pads to even the count before they settled down. Weller got' the nod for tripping Pickett and during the pen- alty tine Streets had a beautiful shot but failed to beat Murdock. Both teams missed several golden oppor- tunities with the teams at full strength and the period ended 1-1. Early in the second Clinton had several grand chances, but checking was to close for them to capitalize. Punch was back in the game again and cleared a dangerous Rae -Weller drive with Elliott hard pressed. Rae again broke away seconds later and Porterfield sprawled along the line with Elliott down. ,The McEwen's played brilliant hockey and the other line were through to the defence time after time on smart passing plays. Rawson placed a shot on Elliott's chest and Streets, who played possib- ly his best genie of the eeasoia, broke fast fora: beautiful effort only to be taken out by Smith: after he had stiekhandled his way through. Clinton played shorthanded on two occasions through the period, once when Gibbs was sent off and again when J. Elliott served time, a penalty for having too many men on the ice. however, neither rests proved costly, the Clin- ton boys being on their toes all the time. In a little over three minutes from the opening of the final ;period Fost- er put the Colts one up on the game with a rolling shot from. the right wing. This period saw the locals pressing hard and play was fairly well confined to the Woodstock area as they sailed in time 'after time. The third Clinton goal came off Pickett's stick at 12.50, bouncing off Henderson's stick into the net. Hend- erson and Kennedy for Woodstock !made a few dangerous attempts, the former having only Elliott to beat on one occasion and overskating the puck in his eagerness after crossing the blue line. Manager Moe Elliott sent out five forwards in the last few minutes and they fairly rained rubber at the Woodstock net, luck and .good playing holding them off the score sheet Three penalties were handed out by,' Referee Talbot, two to Clinton and one to Woodstock. Right nip to the final bell it looked as if Clinton would at least equalize on the round and every player on the team turned in a' nice perform- ance. In losing to Woodstock they lose no prestige. The „-agon City boys are a fast, heavy checking team THE HO1%IE PAPER Property Sold On Monday Mr, William 'Elliott purchased the McPherson property on' Rattenbury street.

The St. Patrick's tea and sale at the Wesley -Willis church on Satur- day last, .sponsored by the W. A., was a splendid d suec ess Decorations of green made the school room of the church most attractive. The tables were arranged with white cloths on which shamrocks made a bright con- trast and the centres were of golden daffodils. Music was proviided by Mrs. M. Agnew. Mrs. Paterson, presi- dent of the W. A. greeted the guests. Tho attendance was good and the financial returns gratifying. The Ever Ready Mission Circle held the March study meeting at the home of Miss Edith Patterson. The president, Miss Ferrol Higgins had charge of the opening exercises and business.

Toronto, What our attitude is to the newcom- ers to Canada? Is there race pre- judice? What can we hope for the future of Canada? Miss Rudd read the scripture ,lesson on the Good Samaritan and applied it to the topic of the meeting in calling it "The Par, able of the"'Reighbeurly Foreigner", the thoughts brought out on this parable were ,both interesting and in- structive. After singing the hymn "0 Master let me walk with Thee", Mrs. Mulholland closed with prayer. The hostess served refreshments. • Special Music The Young Men's Bible Class will meet on Sunday as usual at 4 o'ciock. The Music Committee havearranged a special'. musical pTogramme for this Sunday.

Accident • A minor. accident happened yest-1 er'day on Vinegar Hill when a ear! driven by one of the oil drillers skid- ded sideways into a truck driven by a Mr. 1VIcAllister of Goderich. Where the vehicles passed, a parked car on the side of the highway narrowed up the road and the driller's car side- swiped the truck. Badly damaged fenders was the 'outcome. . The ac- cident is said to have been caused by the car skidding on the melting snow. and have a defence that is hard to beat. Considering the fact that at one time it lookedas if we would have no intermediate' team this year, the Colts have turned in a great' perform- ance and deserve all credit for the record :they • have . chalked ,up this season. Some of the players have not been mentioned possibly as often as they should have been, but all have done their bit and contributed their share to the team work which' has carried the Colts to the top.
