The Ramblers must have been remembering last year's semi-final garna when they were demolished 86-0 by the Vikings. For the first half of their encounter with theVikings, e, Stratford squad was very much in contention. Ln fact, Stratford led 7-0 at halftime on a first quarter T.D. by Terry Uniac from a 45 yard pass and run play from quarterback Johnston. An 85 yard kickoff return for an apparent Viking touchdown was called back by the officials who ruled that the. fleet Viking back.bad stepped out Of bounds :— The Vikings, protested the tall; - but to no avail, In the first half especially', the Ramblers passing attack clicked well. They were able to take advantage of the inexperience of the Viking defensive backfield, Which has -not had much af a ppsing.attack to contend with so far this season. Coach Wane Horner has been working on this defensiv.e, weakness and has "devised a new defensive set-up which he hopes will stop the Stratford passing game in the upcoming semi-final encounter. • Despite the inspired play of the Ramblers defence, the' Vikings' began to shift the momentum of the game -in their favour during the second half, largely as a result of the improved play of the Viking offensive line. • -' The first Viking T.D, came when In?„,„Durst--,Wocker)-a-field goal ,attempt at the Goderich 25 yard- line. dord 1VICtellan scooped up the loose ball and ran 25 yards for the score.

Following a long drive built aropnd the running of O'Brien and Lounsbury, Lounsbury went over from the 12 yard line. Ron Brown's convert •attempt was good. The blocking of ,,Drennan, McLelland Paul Frayne and '- the rimming of O'Brien and. Lounsbury were - the highlights af the Viking offence. Tim O'Brien, Arian' MacKenzie, Jim Durst, Paul,.
