Tractor School and Demonstration The attendance at thelectures and moving picture sponsored by the Mc- Corntick.Deering Co., while fairly farge, was not as good as the calibre of the demonstration called for. These weremeetings which all ma- chinery -minded farmers should have attended. The films were both edu- cational and instructive.. A conic film, "Farm' Inconveniences," drew hearty laughs from the crowd. This was true to life, bringing out the conveniences which farmers put up with through their own carelessness. Loose boards, wire, doors and gates off hinges, small articles left lying around, were contributions: to the dis- comforts which were not necessary if things were put away in their pro per places. This was a real safety - first film.' The FarmaIl T12, a handy little tractor, was shown operating various machines efficiently. This appears to be a complete machine for the small farmer as it can be used for every type of work on the farm.. Later, films were shown of the mechanism and worsting parts. Generally speaking, the demonstra- tion was well worthwhile. Those who attended are now acquainted with the latest in farm equipment and the many things a tractor can do on the farm. `KNOCK! KNOCK!! WI3OSE THERE? WHY CERTAINLY IT'S THE CLINTON COLTS. Gunning For the Intermediate B Championship Simcoe Redskins Vanquished In ;second Game 5 to m, Clinton Colts removed another obstacle out of their way last. night in their triumphant march toward the Intermediate B title, when they vanquished the Simcoe Redskins five goals, to none, be- fore a record-breaking crowd of cheering 'hockey fans that stood, leaned and hung all the local arena. There were perhaps about seventeen hundred jammed into the old rink. • ice soft that looked at the tart of the game ane as though it would be impossible 'to play any sort of decent hockey, the Colts flashed plenty of speed and combination that removed all doubt, if' there was any, as to which was the best team. Clinton showed superiority from the goal out,and at no time,me• were they threatened by the invading Redskins.Lafortune in the Simcoe nets played brilliantly, but was outshone by his rival, Stade, in the Clinton nets, although Lafortune unquestionably had more wort: to clo. - On his play Stade deserved a shutout, ad the team played headsup hockey in order to get it for hila. last period. Habermill and Esseltine•. were the pick of the visitors, with the locals paying particular attention to the right -winger, Habermill. He was the one who scored both goals in Brantford, and the only Redskin to put the puck past Stade. The score on the round was 8-2, and no exag- eratlon is needed to say it was a fair indication of the play. The first period was 20 minutes of wide-open hockey, with the Colts do- ing most of the pressing. Lafortune was good on several close -in shots,. but finally after 12 minutes of play, Kel. Streets beat hint with a "nice corner shot from left wing. Streets and Pickett broke clean and with on- ly the defence to beat, Pickett pas- sed to Streets who was uncovered. Lafortune had no chance to save: Pickett drew brackets on the goal. Five minutes later Streets again shot the puck past the hard -pressed -La - fortune, and it began to look like his name might be changed to "misfor- tune", his misfortune that he should run up against a team like the Colts. This time it was Rath who was in for the o h assist. "Red" passed to Streets and the latter picked the top right-hand corner with a very accur- ate shot. Rath's rushes proved no end of worry to the Redskins, and ire was dangerous every time up the ice.. The period ended 2-0. With seven 'minutes gone in the second period, Gibbs and Pielcett shot M for Clinton's third goal. Pickett fed Gibbs the pass at the defence and Gibbie darted in to slip the puck past Lafortune. The pace slackened. considerably for the rest of the per- iod with play mostly in the centre ice, zone. Habermill was in on Stade, but the latter sprawled to clear. F. McEwan was in the Clear but over - skated a sticky puck. Foster was by for a chance and So was Habermill, but both goalies saved. The period: ran out with the score 3-0. Habermill and Streets drew the firstenaltof the ame for mix-: P y g Mit but from our. angle it looked' like Habermill who did the mixing.•. Streets deserved no penalty as the referee admitted after the game... m o With both teams a man short, rt Pis-• kett andawa ibbs broke and Pic- kett y kett shot the fourth goal past Lafor-• tune, Gibbs earned brackets on the play, five minutes had elapsed when the goal was scored. A minute later Pickett missed another goal by inches:. Streets took his second penalty, this' time :for trying to be too friendly- with riendlywitt Lafortune when the latter had' hold of the puck. Simcoe were in for a couple of close ones but Stade kick-• ed them out. With sixteen minutes' gone Foster broke clear to pick up' a loose puck at centre ice, and with, only the, goaltender in his way,. "Bonnie" bagged Clinton's fifth goah,. beating, Lafortune easily, Don Mee.
