Some of the credit for the win shouldbgo to Pat Conlon who stopped a Sarnia penalty shot. Pat normally plays centey forward, but because of a, bad ankle tookk over from Jo Jo Watt in- the goal for the first half of the game which Jo Jo played in the forward line. This was the Falcons best ef- fort to date as they were without the services of three regular players. COMMENTARY Over the past two weeks Goderich soccer teams have been the victims of circumstan- ces and,poor sportsmanship. The Squits played Huron Park' and beat them 2-0 only to have the two points taken from them and awarded to Huron Park because unknowingly they had an over age player..on._the _team. I am the first to admit that Goderich broke the rules but I ask you, the ,public, how many children under or around the age of eight know the year in which they were born. Never the less I would like to add that the soccer rnad youngster's have fought back and are once again on top of their league in goal average. Then there was the Exeter Centennial Cup fiasco, already reported in last week's paper,,,by Kaz Budney, in which Goderich "A" Atoms won the cup only to have it taken away from them' because the coach and Goderich supporters cheered too much and too. loud. Sid Allan coach of the' Goderich'A Mosquito ten a iris suffered abuse from opposing coaches because his players are a little on the large side. His lads now take birth cer- tificates with them; but even this kind of proof did not satisfy.. a certain coach from Huron Park even though one of his own players wasof an inelligible age. No action was taken on this and yet the Squirts lost two points for doing the same thing. The moral of this seems to be that it is all right to play whatever aged boys yotl like as long as you don't win. Last but not. least, 1 tooll..the. Bantam team down to play in Huron Park some thirty.. five miles from Goderich. On arriving at the groundtti-„�.. we found four players, no coach •`. and no explanation. A com- ment from one of the four Huron Park players. *ao- that we beat them 14-0 'in the last game so what was .the good of playing. As a final word 'I would like to say to the people of Goderich that even if you are unable to support these kids from the side line perhaps yott could support them by buying raffle tickets which will be on sale shortly. The Goderich Minor Soccer Club is trying to raise funds for new equipment and a banquet for these kids at the end .of the season. Th1I group of eight to ten year old Goderich Minor Soccer players emerged last week from the Exeter Centennial Soc- cer Tournament with top place and were presented with the_.. Exeter Centennial Trophy. They Were not allowed to keep the trophy however due to a rule dispute between coaches and organizers of the tournament.

I wonder,what would happen if the young lady was at bat and "schmuch!" - a bean ball on the old nnsteirior - or consider a nasty little second baseman hanging a "clothesline" for her as she tries to go from 1st to third.
