JACK CLANCY WINS
SENIOR SHIELD
Last evening, at the Collegiate In-
stitute, the second of the first an-
nual oratorical contests was held.
The 'Senior Boys Shield, presented
by Dr. Thompson, and one of the
many shields donated to the school,
for this; and other worthy purposes,
was the cause of keen rivalry among
three contestants: Benson Sutter,
Alex. Filshie, and Jack CIancy. '
The Life of Louis Pasteur, the
eminent French scientist,
Ft. eand the
father of the germ theory was the
topic discussed by the first speaker,
Jack Clancy.
He told his audience, which was
larger than that attending the first
contest, that thousands of people,
since the lifetime of Louis Pasteur,
have owed' their lives to that same
famous man of science.
Through his boyhood his father,

Lion's Hockey League
During the past week • the Lions
Hockey League has been rather thee -
tire. This was mostly due at times
to lack of ice and also to the fact
that what little ice they had in.the
local ice palace was being carefully
preserved for other games. The
teams are now engaged in the semi-
finals and it is hoped that these will
be over by the end of this week.
Only one of the semi-final games
has as yet been played. This was
quite an exciting affair and was
somewhat tat a
I of reversal ersa of a per-
formances.
p r
forn,ances. Manager "Monty" pre-
sented a team wearing nice new white
sweaters.
This, however; appeared
to have a bad effect, and it is quite
probable that the boys were so busy
admin
ng themselves that they forgot
how to play hockey.
Manager "Doc" had his entire team
on skates for the first time in many
games, and they proved to be too
powerful for the Bankers, defeating
them by the score of 'five to one.
Dentals' goals were scored by Bun-
king (3), Lockwood and Carter, while
'Vest scored the lone goal for the
Bankers in the• closing minutes of the
game on a pass from Paxman.

on Feb. 18th, it being her seventy-
ninth birthday, and a few of her near
neighbours surprised her by conning
and spending a few social hours in

hymns,. with Mrs. Agnew at the pi-
ano, until all had gathered. Rev. Mr.

solo. A fine program of games, ar-
ranged by the ingenious committee.
Mr. Lobb and Mrs. Hearn, was then

Lions Doing Good . Work"
The following appeared in the
sport page of the Globe and Mail of
last Saturday.
"Here's a challenge for the winners
of the Georgetown Midget N. FI. L.
Lcague. Ken, Waters of Clinton
would like to send the champions of
the group sponsored by that town's
Lion's Clubs Only hitch is that the
Clinton age -limit is 16 years; George-
town's 14. Waters takes pride in
pointing out that Clinton, with a
small population from which to draw,
always has made a good showing in
Ilse O.H.A. This season the Juniors
l"B")are in their group playoffs
and the intermediates still are in the
running.
Tho Lions are doing a valuable ser-
vice to
er-vice-to the town, and to young boys
in particular, who wish to develop
their hockey ability.
A juvenile league such as the Lions
have been sponsoring this winter has
filled a long -felt need in the town's
realm of hockey, It should serve to
develop players atan earlier er a e, and
in that way they have a chance for
junior competition before they are too
old to snake a fair showing.
Ross McEwan has been drilling
the boys once a week and "Punch"
should be the ideal man for the job,
with a number of years experience
to back him up.
More power to the Lions in this
field of endeavour.

Before a crowd of some fifteen hundred or more cheering fans, the.

totake the round 9 to •
Long before game time the crowd started coming•• and by 8.15 every
possible nook and corner was full to overflowing. The large crowd re-
presented hockey enthusiasts from the whole of kIuron County, and many.
points outside:
Although always a good hockey town,' it has been many years since
the game enjoyed such popularity as Inas been the - ease the past three
years, but the brand of hockey dished up by the Colts has given, the fans
full returns for their money.
Last Wednesday night the Colts de-
feated the burgers in the first game
4 to 3 and as you all know the return
game was postponed from Friday
until Tuesday on account of mild
weather.
A one goal lead was not much to
boast about and as a result when the
game started excitement ran high.
Referee T. Hillman of Kitchener fac-
ed off the puck and the game was on.
Both teams e s ureic or lesse
play d a
waiting game for the first few min-
utes of play, Sparring for an opening.
Big "Fat" Sparrer, the biggest "spar-'
ser" on the ice, warmed things up by
smiting one or two of the Clinton men
down as they tried for an opening,
but both teams were checking close-
ly. Finally after 8 ramutes had elaps-
ed the McEwans and Foster clicked.
for the opening counter, and the ten
sion was sotitewhat relieved. R. Mc -
Ewan shot the puck into the corner
and Foster beat the New Hamburg
clefenceman to it, passing it out to F.
McEwan who was uncovered. Pfaff
had no chance on it as the wily Mc-'
Ewan drew him out of position and
flipped the puck into the net. Well!
the ice was broken and from then on'
the boys went to it, hammer and tong.
Within a minute "Red' Rath" 'fired
a hot one front in the blue line and Pfaff
Stever saw it till it' bulged the twine.;
The Colts continued the pressure, but
could do no more than come close.!
Stade handled everything New Ham-
burg fired at him with confidenpe.!
McKay and Sparser were the only two
to serve time.
Play was reversed in the second
period. The Burgers put ftp a des-!
perate effort but the best they could!
do was score once, although on the
play they deserved a better fate.
Three penalties were handed out right .
at the start Eingeman and Sparrer of
New Hamburg Pickett Clinton.g and ke t of Cl
The period was well on its way when
Gibbs and Pickett combined for the
Colts third goal, Gibbs taking Pic-
kett's pass in front of the net. It
was while Streets was serving time
that New Hamburg scored their only'
goal. Reid and Bowman were sue-'
cessful in working in on Stade, Reid
scoring. 1
'With the Colts three goals up on
the round it was just a matter of
finishing the game in the Last frame.
' As was to be expected the locals were
content to let New Hamburg come to
them, and the puck was - cleared at
!every opportunity. Clinton increased
their lead by two more, when Pickett
slipped in for .t w o goals. -• Pic -
1 kett scored the first one on a combin-
ation play with Streets, and Gibbs and
Pickett wound up the scoring, Pickett
'shooting home Gibbs' bs pass. The
score on the game was 5-1, and on the
round 9-4, for Clinton.
"Fat" Sperms. s. was given a merry
ri
do by the locals, .particularly by
"Bonnie" Foster who sat the big boy
down several times, but Sparrer
more than returned the compliment.
Everytime the big boy went down
he came up grinning and he was one
of the that to offer congrats. to the
Colts after the game.
All the locals played heads -up hoc-
key, but Foster deserves special men-
tion for his brilliant playing. "Bon-
nie" turned in his best performance
of the year.
Well this is the third year we have
wished the Colts good luck in their
quest for the Int. "B" championship.
May good fortune smile on then.

NO GAME THIS .WEEK FOR
COLTS.
There will be no game for the Colts
this week. Everyone was expecting
to see the Colts pitted against Dur-
ham again this year but this is not
year,
to be, at least not for the present,
Durham are booked to play off with
Elora. In a telephone conversation
with W. A. Hewitt, Secretary of the.
0.H.A., Manager Miller was inform-
ed that Clinton would probably meet
either Glencoe or Petrolia in their•
next round. These two teams are now.
in their group play-offs, if not one of
these, then Acton looks like the next
choice. However there wilt b e.
no game until Monday 'at they
earliest. It seems too bad' with.
all this good weather, but let's all
hope old man winter hangs on a little
longer.
