Win Toss -Up Clinton 'Colts wound up the sched- ule Tuesday night in Milverton by defeating that team 7-1. The win brought the Colts into a tie with New Hamburg for first place in the group, each having 13 points. Representatives .from New Hamburg and Tavistock were present at the game and the play-off • positions were decided by Clinton and New Hamburg flipping a coin todecide ties de the teamt first it take o t position, and Clinton won the toss. As a result New Hamburg and Tavi- stock .meet in the semi-finals- and Clintonaka t s on thei n w n er in the group finals, which will get ander way next week. Tavistock and New Hamburg play Friday and Monday, so Clinton does not see action until Wednesday and Friday, and in all probability the first game will be away, as the Colts have the choice of of games. The Colts have had a very success - Ltd season, having 'defeated every team with the exception of New Hamburg, but when they met the "Hamburgers" they were not in form and if these teams meet in the finals some real excitement will be the con- sequence. But don't count Tavistock out yet. They have made it plenty close in their meetings with New Hamburg to date, and with the old rivalry that exists between the two places, much similar to that of Gode- rich and Clinton, anything can hap- pen. They claim they can, and will, eliminate the "Burgers", at least that was their boastful attitude in Milverton Tuesday night. It's a tough assignment, but they may tun the trick. The game in Milverton was just another game. Of eouse the Colts went with the intention of trying for a win, as their objective was to tie for first place. From the start there was; little doubt as to the winners, al- though Milverton scored the first tally in the first minute of play, when they took the puck from the face-off and scored from a difficult angle. Before the period ended however, the Colts tied it and continued on to an easy viotory. At the end of the second Clinton led 4 to 1, and three more in the last ran the total to 7-1. "Punch" McEwan scored half of his tennis goals. "Bonnie" Foster with 2, Don McKay and "Timmer" McEwan with one each got the other 4 goals. Chester Neilans, a junior, was ta- ken along for this game and turned in a nice effort on right wing. Clinton - Goal, Stade; defence, Rath, h McKay; centre, Pickett; wings, F.

Clinton Colts improved their posi- tion in the group last Friday night when they defeated Stratford Indians 3-2 in Stratford, The Colts had a narrow squeak, winning the game in the last 7 minutes, after the Indians had led for • the biggest part of the game. "Puhch" McEwan paved the wag for the first goal of the game when he combined with "Red" Rath who scored the 'goal. The lead was short-lived, however, as Fiebig scor- ed on Baird'sassist a few minutes later. The Redskins went into the lead when Beatty scored on a solo ef,• fort, a lead which they held until the last five minutes. • The Colts were below form and just couldn't click on their plays un- til it seemed they might be too late, Finally Ken Pickett and Frank Mc. Ewan broke things up with two quick goals. Pickett scored first from a .scramble and shortly. after McEwan' sent home Picket's pass for the final tally, to win a very close genie. Final score 3-2. With the ,loss of this game, went Stratford's last hope of a play-off position. Tavistock are now safely entrenched in third position.

THE HOME ''APER' Exhibition Game; Here Tomorrow (Firiday)> Night Clinton Colts, while waiting for the finals of the group, have made ar- rangements for an exhibition game with Stratford Indians, to be played here to -morrow night. The Indiana, are bolstering their team arid are coming up with the intention of beating the Colts, a feat which they still claim them can accomplish, and if they pack their team with some of the best in Stratford they will un- doubtedly doubted 1 make it most uncomfort- able for the locals. Clinton. regarded Stratford as the nicest team in the group this year, and fans will be treated to some real hockey tomor- row (Friday night). Seaforth Defeats Clinton Seaforth Beavers hlanded Clinton Juniors a 7-4 reverse in+Seaforth last Thursday night. It was Clinton's last scheduled group game and a win would have removed a lot of doubt of a play-off position. Clinton penal- ties paved the way for Seaforth, two of their goals being scored with a Clinton man on the side -lines. The game was wide open and Sea- forth took the lead after three min- utes of play when Dunlop banged in a rebound. .Draper was off at the dine. Stapleton scored on Rennie's passlater when Riley' was serving time. Within a minute's time John- ston and Draper tied the count on two nice goals. Flannery broke the tie when he banged in Leppard's re- bound, • Clinton again tied it in the second Riley scoring on Lawson's pass, but Bell broke the tie and Seaforth took a two goal lead when Rennie got an- other. In the last Dunlop scored on a play with Leppard. "Riley" ,Johnston got Clinton's fourth on a pass from Schoenhals. Dunlop scored Seaforth's final goal to make the score 7-4.

Team Stampeded Going to the assistance of a neigh- bor, Mr. Amos Ball, whose car was stalled in food water overflowing the '.lase Line six miles north of here where a bridge spans a small stream, Mr. Andrew Shepperd lost a valuable horse on Monday night and narrow- ly escaped losing the team. The erst- while quiet stream, now swollen to flood proportions was over the road to considerable depth and on ap- proaching the car ,in water to the running boards, the team took fright at the flood and in their stampede got off the road and into the stream bed, one of them immediately going down out of sight. The other strug- gled loose and was hauled out of the icy flood in a perishing condition and was hurried to its stable. Fortunate- ly the team had not been hitched to the stalled car in which Mrs: Ball and daughter were sitting for they, too, might have been drawn into the deep water. As though satisfied with the damage done the car motor, when the starter was tried, consented to function and was driven home. C. C. I. Board Meeting • The annual business meeting of the.

Clark Laid To Rest Everyone was shocked last Thurs- day morning to hear of the sudden. passing, of Miss Mabel R. Clark. Miss Clark had appeared to be in the best of health and had gone about her du;. ties as usual, having returned to the office after supper • to complete her preparations for Thursday's paper. Miss Clark was the daughter of the late William and Phyllis Clark and before coming to Clinton, lived in Flesh er •t o n where she had ad i nada her home with relatives, She came to Clinton abort thirty.years ago, where she attended Business college. For a few years, Miss Clark w as a member nber of the staff of the Toronto Saturday Night. In 1910 Miss Clark joined the staff of the Clinton News -,Record and in 1916 became editor of the paper. The News -Record staff feels keenly the loss of a valued member, who was always at her desk, and whose chief concern was always for the wel- fare of the paper. Miss Clark was a devoted member of Wesley -Willis church and took an active interest in as much of, the church work as time permitted. Surviving are one brother, Mr. J. T. Clark, editor of the Toronto .Daily Star, and three sisters, Mrs. Ogle Cooper and Mrs. J. E. Cantelon of To- ronto and, Mrs. Bert Marquis of Le- froy, and several nieces and nephews. The funeral service was held at the home of Miss M. Rudd, on Friday ev- ening, conducted by Rev. C. W. D. Cosens, assisted by Captain Bonar.

Gregory, Arthur and Joseph Claris of Toronto a lid Messrs. Charles and Arthur Marquis of Lefroy. Mr. G. E. Hall, "The News -Record" Clinton, Ont. Dear Mr. Hall - I learned with much regret of the death of your edi- tor and associate, Miss Mabel Claris. Her passing must have been a sad blow to you, and the sympathy of fellow -publishers is extended to the members of her family, as well as to you personally. Very truly yours, -C. V. Charters, Managing -Director of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association, Dear Mr. Hall:- It all.It was with very deep sorrow and a sense of personal loss that I learn- ed of thedde su n passing of Miss Claris. I am sure you will feel keen- ly the loss of so loyal an associate. I held Miss Claris in very high regard, and during the years of our closer business contacts I found her the soul of honour and one with whoin it was a pleasure to have association. I am sure all readers of the News -Re- cord will join in deeply regretting the loss sustained in the death of Miss Clark. To you personally I extend my sin- cere sympathy in the break in your long and happy 'business relations. With very warm regards, sincerely yours, -Mary C. Trwin. 480 Oriole Parkway, Apt. 305, Toronto, February 9th, 1937. G. E. Hall, Esq. The News -Record, Clinton,' Ont. Dear, Mr, Hall -I have seen with much sorrow thedeath notice of Miss Clark. I have scanned the Toronto newspapers to see a news item about her passing, but have found nothing -which surprised me. In mid-January I had a very pleas- ant little note from Miss Clark. I had not known that she was ill. Always when your paper arrived I looked with a very special interest at Miss Clark's own page -and always with wonder and admiration at her selections from the poets. These ,were 'admirable. I marvelled over. her ability to get so many choice poems week after week. I feel very, very sure that your readers and your community will long miss Miss Clark. She must have en- deared herself strongly to a very wide public. Although I never, knew Miss Claris personally, I felt that I had learned to know her through her letters and her newspaper. I do feel a personal loss. Yours very truly, John Kirkwood..
