And you'd have to agree with then after watching thte, r, Huron - Perth Conference, seniorfootball championship game played here lay at Wingham District Hign School. Because of short end zones —one running downhill, -the other uphill—rival coaches de- cided to rule out the single. point. • The result?

After the overtime p1a;,'cd in semi -darkness, the oppcs- Doig "coaches --Wayne • Horner of Goderich and, Bob Camp- bell of Wingham –met at mid- field, shook hands and de- clared the two schools co - champions. Horner, football .convener for the conference, explained that another game to decide, the title, was out of the ques- tion because Wingham Dl-- trict High was planning to' start examinations soon and yesterday's contest had been moved ahead four dkys be- cause of this. It is the first time that the Huron -Perth Conference has had 'co -champions in football. Ironically, In the expanded league setup which took place five years ago, Wingham won the championship the first two years, Goderich the next two years and reate>1Mlay's "rubber -match'"--- as Campbell called it ended in a tie. It was the first meeting this season between the two schools. Referee Ted Earley of Lon- don said the game officials and coaches agreed to rule out the single point because the short end zones made the 'play difficult and hazardous. During the regular season single points were allowed in games here but the ball had to land directly in the limited end zone area or go in on the bounce. Without the chance of scor- ing a single point yesterday, both teams had to pass Op chances to break the dead- lock. Instead on third downs they elected to run or pass. Unfortunately both offences couldn't get untracked and the game turned into a defensive struggle, . Biggest defensive play in the game came early in the second quarter when the Vi- kings were stopped cold on the Wingham one -yard line after GodYri1ch's Mike McArthur had fallen on a fumble at the Mustangs' seven..

Mr: MacDonald accused the Conservative government of be - in, in trouble on the farm, labor and consumer fronts after 23 years in power.

The Mustangs also got, to the Goderich 15 later 00 ,n the same quarter but the Vi• kings took over 'on crowns. In the first five•nunute ov,r- time period, Goderich got on the move and reached the Wingham eight on a leaping catch of a pass by Brian Smith. But time ran out be- fore the Vikings could take advantage of it. The final overtime period ended with Goderich on the Wingham 20. But a soccer - style field goal try by John Gottschalk was blocked end- ' ing the threat and -game. �Aei� �S sem; 94 It looks like the old story of see no evil for Wingham's Norm Corrin (32) as the hands of Brian Smith of Goderich (81) cilVer his eyes.
