CLINTON'S COLTS' ARE; G'ROIJP- 'CHAMPIONS Shut - Mitchell Out M tc ell I "•a In Final Game 2-0 To Take Round By 5 To 3 Score Last Friday nig!ht; decided the championship of Intermediate "B" O.H.A. Group 13, when the final game between Mitchell and Clinton was played on iced ice, before one of the largest 'crowds ever to be in attendance at the Local arena. Nearly a thousand people' hour d poop a came from all parts of the surrounding district to cheer their favorites to victory, and as was expeeted, the Colts were the winners, shutting out the fast Mit: chell aggregation in a 2-0. score, to win theround by score of 5-3. The Mitchell team was somewhat of a surprise to many of the local fans,.a large number thinking that the Colts would beat them quite handily, and on the year's record it appeared that they should,: but it was just a case of the Mxtohell boys not hitting their stride until they really got into - the play-offs, and by the time they met the Colts they were in full swing and it was a Mottle all the way, with the Colts holding the upper hand in the last game and they eventually emerg- ed the Group champions. 1Vluch credit is •due the local club in the brand of hockey they have played this season, and Manager El- liott and all the officials are •to be congratulated on the fine team spirit that they have created among the boys. And now that they have won the district honours without once tast- ing defeat, they are seeking new worlds to conquer and, are "waiting instructions from the '0.H.A. for fut- ure runes. By the time they have their next game there will only be six teams 'left in the running, so it will -be seen that the boys are -get- ting near the championship and we widI1 hemp every success in their fu, ture games. There is bound to be some real hockey treats in store for local fans within the next week. The first period started quite sim- ilar to the one in Mitchell, with the Mitchell boys forcing the play, but they found a different team facing them on this occasion.. After their close call in the first game, the Colts came out for this game with a look of determination on their faces that everyone noticed, and one that boded ill for . the visitors, and we believe that the close game in Mitchell did the boys lot of good. The first per- iod saw .both teams trying to organ- ize plays, and in both cases the oppos- ing forwards checked them before they really got started. The close checking had .a tendency to spoil the game from , the spectator's point of view, as most fans appreciate ' the wide-open style that these teams usu- ally put up. One thing ' we noticed was the way the local defence stepped into the. opposition, something that was missing entirely in the first game, and was one of the main factors in the resulting victory for the locals, it being a great help to the forwards and also gave Elliott in the nets, a more -secure feeling, as well as pleasing a large number of fans, who like to see the boys rough it up a bit. Play was very even in this period, with any edge in territorial playgoing eta the visi- tors, and both goalies coming to their team's aid on several occasions. The period ended with neither team' finding the nets. - The second period saw• the' Colts forcing the play, but penalties spoil- ed a lot of their, chances. It seemed that no sooner would -they get going than one of their men would .be pen- ah'zed nd the itoel11 boys gave -El- liott little peace until the ,offending. player was back on. Finally "Red" Rath, one of the stars for' the locals, made one of.. his spectacutar rushes, taking the 'puck from F. lifeEwan and weaving 'his way through the entire team, . girding the Mitchell nets to. give MnCloeklin no chance. For the first time .the .-Combs were ahead on: the round. The M'it'chell boys ' came back with a vengeance, but Ken. Pickett and Harold Gibbs just about put the game in the bag, when on a nice - blit: of combination play they worked in close, Gibbs handing Pic- kett a forward pass for' the second - and final counter of the game. The Celts continued on the offensiye,- and it vias only due to the good work of MoClocklin that they failed to. In- crease their' lead." He stopped shots.' from all angles and hung en to the, Puck several trines, forcing a • face-off and giving his team-mates a chance to get organized, also drawing forth several scathin.g rmnarke from some. of the local players.

AN ERROR - By.a typographical error in an ar- ticle about Dr. Shaw last week it was made to appear that he had been handing out pills in Clinton• for over one`hundred years. He ns' our veter- an physician, all right,. but has not Teen at it quite that long. A. ten, by some unaccountable means, was sub- stituted for a four. He has !been practising medicine in Clinton for over forty years, which is a. nice long time, it must be admitted: - AN ENJOYABLE. SUPPER On Friday evening last the mem- bers of ,the Junior Bible Crass of the Ontario' Street church Sunday •School treated themselves and their husbands and wives to a .chicken supper in the school -room of the church. At 6.30 at bout sixty sat dawn to a table boun- titulty laden with good things to eat. ' Immediately at the conclusion - of the repast, Rev, Mr. Perrin acted as chairman for 'a chart program. Ile voiced his appreciation of the good work of the class during its first year of organization and then called upon Mr. O. W. Potter, superintendent of the Sunday School, Mr. Milton Wil- tse, past president of the class, Mr. W. M. Aiken, president for 1935 and Mayor Holmes, for short addresses. All responded fittingly. Miss Elva. Wriltse contributed a pleasing solo, after which Miss Lucille Grant, 'tea- cher of the class, in a few well chos- en verde expressed her appreciation of the support of the class in the past and also a desire that the mem- bership would continue to increase in the future. Messrs. Wm. Midler and G. Me-. Knight moved and seconded a vote of thanks to the ladies for their hospi- tality, before Rev. Mr. Faerill pro- nounced the benediction. The men, loyal hockey fans, de- parted to the local arena to cheer the Clinton Cons on to victory, but many of the ladies lingered for a so- cial hour. All who were present a- greed that the evening had been 'a very pleasant one. period the Colts were contented to protect their lead, only rushing when they got a break. This was probably the wise. thing to do, but was not pleasing to the large crowd of fans. Myo, with any lucid Mit- chell might have tied the score, ' On one occasion a soaring puck hit the light and glanced straight for the nets. Elliott saved jus :n time, A still closer call came when the puck glanced off Streets' skate and struck the' goal -poet, Elliott hadn't a chance to get to' It;annd although both would have been fluke goals, many games have been won thus. Several Clinton penalties gave the large crowd heart failure, as the teams were so evenly - matched that venly-hatchedthat a man short gave a de- cided iadvantage. However, the Colts were able to .stem the tide of battle and when the fray ended were victors 12-0 on the game, and 5.3 on the round. 'Gulliton, Wright, Stoneman and Porterfieldwere_ a : atW as dangerous for the visitors. On the local line-up Streets, who is :gradually returning to* farm after several nasty injuries,• Pickett and Gibbeplayed well and this line clinched the victory. 'MeEwan Bros, and •Holmes, although notscor- ing, were back-eheeking well. Rath. was outstanding on 'defence with. Kennedy and Waters turning in fine performances, . And . we ,believe that the real star o f{She gaine and .of both games, should go to Geo. Elliott, in the• nets. - Had., it not been for - -him the tale might be an entirelydid e' r- ent one. .

BANQUETED^AND PRESEENTE.D One of our ettizens was the recipient of a signal honour on Saturday last; When Mr. Cr. D: Roberton was ten- dered a banquet and was pre- sented with . a beautiful gold watch. The event took place in Stratford and the following is from Monday's Bea.. con -Herald and speaks sfaritself: "George D. Roberton of Clinton Was the guest of honor Saturday at a luncheon' at the. Queen's Hotel, giv- en by W. - H. Oalclough, C.L.U., dis- trict manager of the London Life In. surance Company, to the agents in the Stratford section of his agency. Mr. Roberton has enjoyed continu- ous service with the London Life for over a . baste 0 quarter f a• century and or: recognition of these long years of faithful representation on behalf of the company, Mr. Ieolclough present- ed 'hint with a gold watch and chain. suitably engraved. In replying to the presentation, Mr. Roberton •observed that the time had gone very quiek]y, and looking back twenty-five years seemed short indeed. He said that frepuently he returned the second time to his life insurance clients after the original policy which he sold had reached ma- turityand sald them more life insur- ance. It is interesting, he continued to note that in seine cases, men who were considered fairly well off twen- ty-five years ago had nothing today but their maturing life insurance. Ho pointed out that the company's field farce at the present time write as much life insurance in two weeks as they did twenty-five years ago dur- ing the entire year and he hopes to represent the London Life for anoth- er quarter of a century."
