A B'ROTihE'R DIES
The following from The New
Hazelton (B.0.) Herald, refers to
the death of a Huron native, a son of
the late Edward Brickenden, and
brother of Miss Brickenden of town,
who is now the only surviving mem-
ber of the family, Mt. Brickenden
was boric in Hullett but it is about
thirty years since he left here:
"Edward Brickenden, aged seven-
ty, passed away at the Hazelton
Hospital in the evening of October
4th, after being a patient there for
just a month. The late Mr. Bricken-
den has been far from well for some
months and en September 5th, after
a bad spell he was admitted to the
hospital where there doctors gave
very little hope for his recovery
from the first.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon from the United ehsresh in
Hazelton and services were conduct-
ed by Mr. Grondahl, assisted by Rev.
B. Shenrman, sector of St. Peter's
church. The attendance at both the
church anti at the graveside was eery
large, and a great number of floral
tributes were placed on the casket
showing the high esteem in which
the deceased was held in the cont
munity. The funeral was conducted
by Marshall Bros, & York, and, the
pallbearers were R. S. 'Sargent, A.
D. Chapelle, Jas. Turnbull, Hugh me -
Nay, M. A. Maros and Jas. Hodder.
The late 'Mir. Brickenden was a
native barn Canadian and io surviv-
ed by his widow and one daughter,

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE
AFFAIRS
INTERESTINGLY WRITTEN ,UP BY A STUDENT
Well, October is half over, and
naturally, everyone is thinking of •
Hallowe'en, The •school is very' busy
'with preparations as all the commit-
tees are chosen, and the forms have
begun to prepare their programrmes,
for the Hallowe'en party, Inciden-
tally, this is the first Literary Meet-
ing of the year. After the program
there will be lunch and dancing.
Not much excitement at the ,school
right now, .in fact we .had a rather
difficult time '111 getting anything to
write about. The Commencement,
we hear, is to be early this year; and
preparations are already started. All
the students are very much opposed
to the new theatre' which is being
built in our little town. They fear
that they will be tempted to neglect
their studies to attend the pictures.
However, the students are so devot-
ed to their work that we halve no
fears on that score,
Last week, if we remember right-
ly., we. were singing thepraises of our
football 'team. This week we blush
for them. We certainly felt proud
When they defeated' Coderrich two
games in succession, with scores oe
1-0, and 3-1. To balance the scales,
though, they went to Mitchell and
allowed' the Mitchellites to beat them
1-0. The team feels ra'her• depressed
at being checked so early in the sent
son, and promise us a different story
when Mitchell comes to Clinton.
Their excuses (reasons to the testae)
are that some of their best players
were incapacitated and unable, to
play, Garrett got in a mix -hip with
a 'stone -crusher recently and, injured
his hand, which put him out of the
game. Mustard, was not playing
either, in fact several of our stars
were off, so that the C. C. I. did not
show use to very great advantage.
Let's hope for a better spewing
.when Clinton plays the return game
on the home campus. After all
they have only a one -goal lead,
Thursday we were pleased to find
that we were playing host to the
inspector. We really rather enjoy
the Inspector's visits, Itis such a
treat to see the teachers placed in
the position which we are obliged to
occupy the rest of the year, We were
rather embarrassed to see the In-
spector inspecting the school garden.
We do not feel that we are being dis-
loyal to the dear old 0. C. I. when we
say that we are not proud of our
'school garden.
The first basketball game of the
year was held hast Thursday at four
o'clock, This was an inter -Form
game, betweeen Second Form and
Third. The crowd of spectators was
comparatively :small owing to, the
fret that everyone had gone to Welts
dell to see .our football team: dis-
play their powers on foreign fields.
The game, however was'excellent and
provided plenty of thrills for the on-
lookers, and although the Senior
team was finally 'victorious, Second -
Form gave them many worried me-,
ments throughout the entire game.
The line-up is ass follows; Third -
10r11': Forwards, Kate Cunning.
Name, Margaret Heard, M. Middle-
ton; guards, Wanda Cluff, Pamela
:Flunking, Doris Nickle. Second
form:. Forwards, 'Gertrude Holmes,
Helen Levis; M. Thompson; Guards,
Enna Hale, Jean ;Swan, . Edna Day -
men. Referee, Mess Beattie.
We hope this will be followed up
by a great many snore games, We
would also like to see a few Inter -
Collegiate games; last year they
rather kept out of the limelight, but
we hope that this,year they will re-es-
ablish the record they held a few
years ago.
Monday nightthe.sehool turned
out to witness a football game on
the .0,0,1. campus, The rain drizzled
down drearily, - and the players were
about as brilliant as the weather.
The garde was dismally one-sided and
nionotonous. I guess you can judge
by the tenor of the preceding who
were victorious. Yes, tt was Seaforth,
and to the disgraceful score of 3-0.
The first goal was scored: in the
fatter part of the 'first period when
Dixon practically scored against
Clinton, 'and McInnes, trying to han-
dle the wet ball did the rest, with
very little help from Maclean of
Seaforth. Orchids to the generous
sentmrents of the 0. 0. I. Always
polite to visitors. Seeforth scored
twice in the second half, We did not
get the names of the scorers but
Sills, as half -back played a good
game, and Rennie, on the forward
line, was brilliant. Nobody was out-
standing for Clinton, except some
who were outstandingly poor, 'We
will not give their names,
:trine -ups': Seaforth: goal,j Bell;
full-backs, Shannon, Houston; . •half. •
backs; Rankin, F. Sills, Carmticheal;
forwards: Scott, Rennie, T, Sills,

Mustard, Dixon; . half -backs, Miutch,

This is all for now. We'll be back
again next Thursday, and so until
then -Meng!
