Atter dropping two straight
trai Blit
.
games and their league. lead m
danger Clinton Colts were a de-
termined lot when they took to
the ice against Elmira Merchants
on Tuesday evening. As a result
the° locals played a much improved
brand .of hockey and had little
trouble winning by 'a one-sided
10-3 score. r
The Colts' lineup was juggled
slightly due to an injury to Al
May and the. flu bug putting the
bite on Ken Armstrong. Doug
Bartliff and Bill Counter were
pressed into service and although
not in top condition added a great
' deal of strength to the defenceas
they both handed out some lusty S
body -checks, a factor that' has
all the Colts'
been sadlylacking in
b
previous games. Bill German re-
placed Bill Nediger between the
pipes and- once again turned in a
great game.
Elmira Lead Early
Although Clinton dominated the
play' from the opening face-off it
was Elmira that were first to en-
ter the scoring column, Reger be-
ing the marksman. Murray Col-
quhoun, who` was hot as a fire-
cracker all evening got that one
back with a little help from Bun
Smith who also played his best
game since being injured• a few
weeks ago. Clinton set a terrific
pace for the entire period and kept
Colbert very buty in the Elmira
net as the agile goaltender stopped
several "sure" goals. Reger put
the Merchants in the lead again at
the 18.50 mark and that was the
way the period ended although,
Clinton fans were brought to their
feet when McEwan bit the post
just before the final whistle with
Colbert beaten completely.
Colts Start to Roll
Clinton began to roll early in
the second period. Don. Strong
started the ball rolling when he
combined with Murray Colquhoun
and Bill Counter. Don fooled Col-
bert completely with his classy
shift before he tucked the puck
behind the frustrated goaltender.
Bill Hanly duplicated Strong's
goal three minutes later and Bun
Smith gave the locals a two goal
bulge just after the lines changed.
McEwan, Hanly and Draper com-
bined for Clinton's fifth goal, Mc -
Ewan being the payoff man. The
play livened up considerably in
this stanza, referees McLean and
Boussey handed out six penalties

Catch 134 Fontes
Two; Clinton .,men believe' they
have established li record la
St
Year
with their catch of 134 foxes,
racoons and 95, skunks, 176heir
entire catch :has been trapped over
an eight -mile radius on the west
side of Clinton..
The two men, Meryyn Batkin
and Joseph Becker, have enjoyed
this type of sport since they were
children. Each year they always
manage to get ,at least 100 pelts.
The men caught last year six
patch foxes which is something
new for this area. In' one farm-
er's field they caught 30 foxes.
Their largest catch of fox :in
their traps far one day was nine
and for racoons 28. Last fall three
foxes got out of their traps and
seven
werestolen. A year ago the
pair trapped 101 foxes.
Both claim there is no market
for fox pelts this year
and the
price paid fpr raccoon and skunk
is also low. Their only consolation
lies in the fact that for every fox
trapped Huron County pays a $2
bounty.

League Leaders'
Strange things happen in hockey
that do not seem to have a logical
answer. One of these Such con-
undrums is occuring right here in
our own intermediate league, Clin-
ton Colts who finished the first
half of the schedule undefeated
are now .having trouble winning
their tenth game. Saturday night
it was Milverton who moved into
the Lions Arena and took the
measure of the home team 9-7.
This game saw the locals go out
in front in the first period 3-1
and early in the second the score
went to 4-1 before the roof fell in
and Milverton scored three quick
goals to tie the count. Milverton
were full value for their win, their
plays were more organized, they
were continually beating the Colts
to the puck and had it not been
for their erratic shooting the spore
would have been much higher.

GUN CLUB ENDS YEAR'S
ACTIVITIES AT CLINTON
The Clinton Revolver Club ended
the year's activities with a turkey
and chicken shoot, which was very
successful. There were 19 mem-
bers of the club present, coming
from Listowel, Teeswater, Exeter,
Wingham, Goderich, Londesboro
and Clinton.
Early Lead
Clinton jumped off to a first
period lead with Hanly beating
Gatschene once and Bob Draper,
who scored four goals during the
evening, counting twice. The play
was very even and the local crew
were lucky' to have the two goal
edge when the bell sounded.
Murray Noble started things off
20 seconds after the opening of
the middle frame and it looked at
this point that Clinton were going
to have little trouble winning an-
other game. Whether the local
players felt that they could take
it easy or not is not known
but they seemed to lose interest
in the game and Milverton were
there to take advantage of the
lapse. It took the Dominions
slightly over two minutes to tie
the count, Ross Kipfer, Charlie
Westman and Tomiuk beating
Nediger in that order. ° Al May
gave the Clinton fans a lift when
he scored mid -way through the
period but this was short lived as
Westman and McCallum put Mil-
verton into the lead. Draper tied
the score just 15 seconds before
the period ended but the writing
was on the wall. °
' The teams played on even terms
until 12.05 when Westman fed a
pass to McCallum who was in the
clear. McCallum made no mistake
as he fired a drive into the corner
of the net that Nediger has not
seen yet. Ross Kipfer added an-
other with the help of Westman
to put the game on ice. Clinton
fought back with grim determina-
tion but they had left things too
long. Draper scored his fourth goal
and they were very close on sev-
eral occasions but Stetson and Bob
Gaul combined with just over a
minutes of playing time remaining
and victory number ten had eluded
the Colts again.

Mitchell Hands
Clinton Colts
Their Second Loss
The turkey shoot was won by B.
Brintnell, and Walt Smith, Tees -
water, formerly of Clinton, was
the lucky winner of four chickens.
One chicken went to each of the
following, Elliott Rivett, Ellwood
Epps, Lorne Rutherford, Bert
Platt, and Dr. Kirk.
Mitchell Legionaires handed
Clinton's league -leading Colts their
worst beating of the season last
Tuesday evening in a game played
in Mitchell. The score, 11-4, was
a good indication of the play which
was completely dominated by the
high -flying Mitchell. team. The
Legionaires had too much of every-
thing for the Colts who seemed to
be inclined to take things easy
and play on their reputation.
The loss, does not change the
standing of the group in any way
because Orangeville whipped Mil-
verton 7-1 for the Dominion's third
loss, Mitchell and Orangeville also
have dropped three games but
neither of these teams have play-
ed as many games as the Colts or
Milverton.
Clinton broke out in front in the
game at Mitchell when Draper
took McEwan's pass and waltzed
in on an unprotected Chessel to
beat him cleanly with a blistering
shot to the bottom right hand cor-
ner. Mitchell got that one back
four minutes later, Smith scoring
with help from Gibson and Flood,
The same' three combined at the
13.29 mark to put the home team
into the lead and'they never look-
ed back. The Colts made a good
fight of 'it for the first period
whigh ended with Mitchell leading
4-3 but from that point on it was
strictly Mitchell, The Legionaires
outscored Clinton 4-1 in the sec-
ond and 3-0 in the final frame for
their well-deserved in:
fizzy Powell, • always a thorn in
the Colt' side, netted the rubber
three tithes and was outpucked oin
as many more, Bill Gatenby was
also a big gun picking up two goals
and four assists to lead the Mitch-
ell marksmen. Chessell in the
Mitchell , nets turned in his . best
effort of the season although- he
received good protection from his
mates. On the Clinton side of
the ledger there was no shining.
Light. The entire team was well
below the` .form, they have dis-
played so far this season and they:,
Just couldn't cope,. with the daz
zling speed of the Mitchell crew.
It was certainly a good game for
the .locals:to get out of their sys-
tems. It, is hoped that they Will
nbt have any more bad ones this,
yea,
