COLTS DOUBLE SCORE ON GREs N�SHIRTS Colts Win Game In First Period -- Foster and Doak Are Big Factors. Doak Gives' Fine Display inn Neta. FINAL SCORE 6.3 Before a large crowd last Friday evening, in the Tavistock arena, the Clinton Colts turned back the Tavi- stock Greenshirts' bid fori first place in the group, and won the most hec- tic struggle the Colts have been -in this year, by theneat score ofr6-n3. The game marked the close of the regular schedule for both the Greenshirts and the Colts, and with first and second positions ,depending on the result, the game was probably the most im- portant the two teams have been in- volved in so far this year. Previous to this game Clinton had 13 points and the Greenshirts 12. The Clinton win gave the Colts an edge of 3 points over their strongest rivals for group, honors. What made the win all the more r convincing, at least from a Clinton point of view, and probably the Green - shirts are thinking the same thing, was the fact that the Colts' ranks were badly depleted, through injuries, for this game. "Red" Rath, defence man, was missing with a badly sprained leg, and Jack Stephenson, regular rightwinger on the Pickett Street line,wasl Pickett - Streets also missing from the line-up. His place was taken, for the most part by "Riley Johnson, regularly a defencenian. Clarence Neilans, Junior goaltender, was taken along, to fill the vacancy, but was used 'sparingly due to the closeness of the game, which- really was much closer than the score would indicate. Then to stake matters more compli- cated, Don. McKay was laid low, mid- tvay through the final period, and re- tired from action for the rest of the game: The result was some fine jockeying of players into different positions, in order to stave off a des- Aerate last period attack by the Gr:eenshirts in their effort to pull up on equal footing with the Colts after the latter had established a neat 4-1 lead while still fresh in. the first per- iod. The Colts practically put the game away in this period when they ran in 4 goals with only 1 reply from the Greenshirts, A couple of penalties to Ruben: aided the Colts considerably in their effort. On both these penal- ties, the Colts' board of strategy, composed for the most part of one, Carl Draper, immediately shot out five forwards, with the instructions that now was the opportune moment, period result showed only and the pelt d 1n y too well that his words. were wisely spoken. "Bonnie" Pgster scored the first goal of the game, but the Greenshirts soon erased this deficit when Neeb evened the count. Then near the end of the period with Hubert again in the box, the Colts really went to town, Fos- ter scoring two in rapid succession and Don McKay putting the Colts farther ahead with a last-minute goal. The Colts held a commanding 4 to 1 lead at the end of the period. i were turned, , The tables w r u in the second period, Tavistock scor- ing the only goal of the period, when Neeb beat Doak on a close -in chive. The shorthandness of the Colts was beginning to tell on thein and they were tiring rapidly. Tavistock had an edge in play throughout most of the period. Ahnost immediately after the face- ff in the last' period, Harris scored or Tavistock, and the Greenshirts turned it on in great style, but their Anxiousness to get the equalizer roved fatal, for "Punch" McEwan lipped away to beat Strohm for Clin- son's fifth goal, and near the end of he game "Bonnie" Poster wound up to already brilliant evening's paler- same erfor- sauce -when he broke away from a [avistock. power -play' to score his ourth goal, and the final one of the ame. With the exception of these wa breakaways play was for the ma- ority of the time in the vicinity of he Clinton goal, and had it not been or some stellar work on the peat of arold Doak, in the• Clinton nets, the esult could have been a different tory. Doak smothered at least a ozen hard drives by the Gteenshirts, Doak and Foster Star Performers Two ?layers stood out for the Colts n this very hectic struggle. Foster, for his fine offensive work, was one, and Doak, in the nets, was the other. Bonnie" scored 4 of his teams 6 goals which were enough to win the game. n the last two games `Bonnie" has scared 8 goals. His :ability' to spot loose pucks and break away when the opposing team is pressing, almost amazes one, Foster is playing the best hockey of' bis career, and the fans are all with this plucky lad in his efforts, This also was the first time during the present season that beanie has FEBRUARY 10, 1938.

Initial Meeting t g 0 f Young Men's Bible Class Held Attended by a small, but very en- thislastic group of the young then of town, the first meeting of tate Young Men's Bible Study Club was held in the Parish Hall last Sunday after- noon. Clinton should be proud to have such an organization as this. Mr. G. H. Jefferson, one of the leaders, presided for the afternoon and led. in prayer. After extending a wel- come to all, he pointed out that this study club was not only to promote a better understanding of the princi- pals and fundamentals of Christian- ity, but also to create harmony and fellowship among the youth of the dis- trict. Continuing, Mr, Jefferson spoke of charity, one of the primary assets of a Christian character, and how gen- erosity alone does not constitute char- ity without the peoper spirit. Dr. D. H. McInnes was the special speaker of the afternoon, choosing a very timely subject, "Challenging the Social Order". The discussion was supplemented with questions by his audience. "One should live according to his means and environment", said Dr. McInnes. Several examples were quoted of men overcoming • all hin- drances, both mental and physical, and attaining success. Thus, the ideal person is that one who is a true Christian- and has character. "Every knock is a boost," declared the speaker, "provided you have the necessary ability and courage to over- come the everyday disappointments." Service, whether to church or to state, should be on a basis of the in- dividuals own ability, conscience and need. Other qualities to be cultivated by members of a study club are broad- mindedness and initiative. officers will Election. of o r 1e held b next Sunday afternoon at the same hour its the Parish Hall.

This interde- nominational club nterde-nomninational"club has been very popu- lar in many centres and supplies a long -felt need in Clinton. been called upon to really show his wares, and Doakie responded nobly. In the last two periods he had spec- tators on their feet cheering' for him as time after time he stopped close - in shots by the Greenshirts, some of which might easily have been goals through no fault of his. "Punch" McEwan's' goal, which came just when the Greenshirts were trying hard for the equalizers Was a spien.did effort, and served in no small measure towards taking the starch out of the Greenshirts' collars. Hubert Also 'Stars—For Clinton Another man who also deserves credit for the Clinton victory is Hu- bert, Greenshirt, defeneeman.' His ability to slash and cross-check and do everything towards making life miserable for opposing players prov- ed very fatal to the Tavistock cause. Altogether he spent 13 minutes in the penalty box, and a number; of Clin- ton goals resulted from his frequent rests with the penalty time -keepers. Hubert's main ambition appeared to e the hone of banging up the op- position, probably thinking that an already weakened line-up could be made still weaker by his misdemean- ours. Hubert, wile is no stripling at the game, and a mighty fine hockey player when, he plays the, game, should know by this time that games are Won onthe ice, and not in the penalty box. His ambitions were partially re (Continued on page 4) The Farmers' Market Wheat, 95c, Oats, 43e to 45c. Barley, 55e. Buckwheat, 50e. Butterfat, 37e, 35e. Eggs, 19c, 17c, 15c, 14c. Live Hog's, $8.50.

The former president, Russel Grainger, presided over the meeting. A very enjoyable illustrated lecture of over fifty or more lovely coloured slides was giv- enby Miss Maude Howell, returned headmistress of a Mission High School in. Saitfranando. During the course of her lecture Miss Howell recited some poems of her own composing, and also told of the visit they receiv- ed eceiveed from the Duke and Duchess of Kent; when she was 'presented to them. Altogether it was a most in- teresting and inspiring evening. Mr. Harold Scotchmer favored with a vi- olin solo during a brief intermission, and Mr. Gale said a few words of ap- preciation to Miss Howell for giving such a splendid treat. The meeting closed with the Mizpah Benediction. • Among The Churches Clinton Presbyterian Church Rev. Gordon A. Peddie, B.A., Minister.

The mayor extended a hearty wel- come to Rev. McGoun in his capacity as councillor, and expressed the, hope that his sojourn would be both pleas- ant and profitable, not only to the town, lint also to himself.
