Altogether they have played nine games this year, six in the regular O.H.A. schedule, two in another league, the North- Western, and an exhibition game, and not once have they eome out on the sheet end of -the score. It is a record which has not been achieved int is h district for some time and it is with a great deal of pleasure that we laud their efforts. So far they have scored 61 goals and have had only 16 scored against them, a scor- ing average of a little less than 7 a game. Only twice have they been hard-pressed, Goderich and Seaforth forcing them into overtime with scores of 3-2 and 6-5. ' Under the fine management of "Mo" Elliott the boys are giving all they have, and are e welletvin athe d s of fine g support given them by the home community: The team is composed entirely of home -town boys. �-r COLTS CONTINUE WINNING STREAK Defeat Mitchell X6.2 The Colts journeyed to Mitchell. Monday night and ruined all that team's hopes of making the play-offs when they handed them a 6-2 reverse. This was the .sante score that they defeated them by in Clinton, and it ran the locals winning streak to eight .straight, F. McEwan scored Clinton's first goal and before the period ended Cec. Xlolmes made it 2. Leppard scored Mitchell's fast goal shortly after the beginning of the second period. Pickett put Clinton two up when he scored and shortly after Holmes scored and made it 4-1 for Clinton. no third period started with Clin- ton playing a man short but Mitchell was held in check until `Clinton was at even strength. Clinton scored from a scramble in front of the nets but the goal was disallowed. Shortly fter, R, McEwan scored two quick goals to stake the score 64 for Clin- ton, Mitchell sent everyone up and Faavnr scored M'itehell's second goal just before the bell Tang to finish the game. On the nigh't's play, Clinton, al- thnugh playing below form deserved the win. The line ups: Clinton: • Goal, Elliott; defence, Rath and Kennedy; centre, Pickett; wings, ',Gibbs and 'Streets; alternates, R. Me] wan, Holmes, 3'. MclSwan, WFaters. Mitchell: Goal, MaCI'ockiin; de- fense, Porterfield, Fawm; centre, Wright; wings, Cull'iton and L.eppard; alternates, Herbert, Holmes, Wilson, Stoneman. Referee :Muir, Seaforth, SAILORS RECEIVE WORST DRUB- BING IN YEARS AT HANDS OF O1.D RIVALS Although the Clanton Colts have defeated the Goderich Sailors on several occasions other years, it hae been a long time since the Sailors re- ceived such a beating as last Friday night, when the Iocals walked all a• round them, and alanost scored at will, and only the brilliant work of the Goderieh goalie saved them froin a worse beating. All the local boys needed was a 'lunch basket thrown over the shoulder and they could have had a real picnic; As it was the fans, (we mean the local fans), had the time of their lives, and enjoyed the gave, even in its uneveness, to the full, There was a large crowd and it would have been much larger 'had it not been for the stormy night, The rivahy between these two teams has always been very strong, more so than between any other teams in the ;roup,; and the •fans also are inclined to warm up to the occasion, whenev- r they get the •chance.

The following signed by a Short Course Student; was handed in at this office yes- terday; "Last week en item was published in The News -Re- cord concerning the students attending 'the C.C.I.

CLINTON "SHOWED 'EM" • The St. Marys Journal -Argus had the following to say last week about Clinton's hockey win in the stone town; "Well, Clinton carne, played and conquered but although the score was 6 to 1 in their favor and even the one goal counted on our side was scored by the visiting goalie himself, the locals were given a pretty good work-out and no doubt received some useful pointers. Clinton played a fast brand of hockey compared with that of the locals and every man knew his position and played it diligently_ St. Marys was at a disadvantage in experience—that was apparent from the start and then most of the play- ers tried the individual rusltes which are useless against the superior team work of the fast Clintonites, the Mc - Ewan Bros., Pickett, Streets and Kennedy. The visitors got one by R. MaEsvan in the first period, four by the ef- forts of Streets, F. McEwan and Pickett in the second and one by R. McEwan in the final stanza while the tally was one for the honesters," THE 'C'OURSE CONTINUES The Short Course is coming to a close on Friday, Feb. lst, Miss 'Tay- lor is conducting helpful and 'inter- esting studies in Health Education and Home Nursing. Last week Miss Taylor gave several demonstrations in caring for a patient in bed. After each demonstration the gals were given an opportunity to do the same work under the friendly guidance of Miss Taylor. There is one comment ton talcs. It is to be hoped that the girls practice this work, among themselves, in order to acquire a deftness aha gentleness towards a patient in the bed, otherwise the pa- tient night receive a few jolts and sudden drops. Remember girls --., practice make sperfect. On Tuesday afternoon several girls react pre- pared papers on infectious diseases, and the care that should be given one suffering. from each disease. On Wednesday .afternoon, Dr. J. W. Shaw, the 'Medical officer of Health for Clinton, came to address the class. The subject of the address was "Contageous Diseases and their preventive medicines. The class in Home Economies have had several more of Miss Gray's in- teresting lecture -demonstrations. In addition to the discussions on food, laundry, planning of menus were al- so discussed. From her many ex. •perfences in different centres, Miss Gray has a fund of useful hints, which she gives freely to the class. The boys of the Agricultural, Class have, had several instructive lectures, among which was one on Soils and Fertilizers, given on Tuesday after- noon. On Wednesday afternoon the boys -held a judging competition oh the farm •of Mr. BertGibbings of the Huron Road East. Last Friday : afternoon the two classes held _their second ' Literary programme; which consisted of a sing -song, a one -act play, given by the Rural students, which was very well done; duets by Misses Einora McInnes and Edna Elliott, accompan- ied by Miss Carol Evans; the class papers"ead by Miss E•lnora McInnes; Miss Florence McCallum directed the staging of a Shakespearian play, which was novel and interesting to the unitiated members of the dud- iehce;, and a reading by,Mrs. Osbai' deston, The only regret of the stu- ;ied him right in on bhe nets.
