Vikigs- Senior and Junior - -blank Stratfor
by T.D.
TheGDCI Vikings, both
senior and junior, served notice
last Thursday that they are not
about to relinquish their
position as the football power
of the Huron -Perth Conference.
The senior Vikings shut out
Stratford Central 41-0 while .
the juniors blanked Stratford
21-0 in games played in the
Classic City.
Coach Ray Donnelly's senior
Viking,s showed a well-
balanced ground and air at-
tack, with both quarterbacks
Tom O'Brien and Larry Don-
nelly showing ability to exploit
the weaknesses of the Stratford
defensive unit. Their job was
made easier -by the effective
lineplay of the Vikings offen-
sive line. Not once during the
game was a Viking quarterback
thrown for a lees.
End Casey Wildgen had ,9 big
game for the Vikings, scoring
three touchdowns and kicking
five converts for a total of 23
points. He also played a st rong
game at his defensive halfback
spot.
The Viking defence allowed
only five first downs- by S trat-
ford during the game. Coach
Donnelly has made several
changes from the defensive
allignment used in pre -season
exhibition games. The moving
of Wally Pierson to .m_iddle
linebacker and the additi on of
Allan Shelton at corr ler -
linebacker did much to shore
up the Viking defense. Th e play
Executive committee
report brings motion
from Bayfield reeve
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
The Executive Committee
report to Huron County Coun-
cil last Friday brought a storm
of protest from Reeve Ed Od-
dleifson; a member of .the Plan-
ning Board; when it was lear-
ned plans were afoot to make
the Planning Board ' and the
Land Division Committees
separate bodies.
According to the Executive
Committee report, the Planning
Act provides for a Planning
Board to be made up, of four,
six or eight members of county
council plus the Warden and to
operate separately from the
Land Division Committee. -
The recommendation which
was finally approved by council
was that for the year 1974, the
Huron County Planning Board
consist of six members of
county council plus the warden.
One member from the Social
Services Committee will be
transferred, to the neva commit-
tee to permit the proper num-
ber on the Planning Board.
The present Planning Board
consists of five members of
council, five appointees from
outside cooncil andE. ,the war
den. It has been felt that under.
that system, the same people
made the decisions and heard
the appeals on those decisions.
"When the board doesn't
agree, members are not very
apt to appeal their own
decisions," said Charles
Thomas,- reeve of Grey.
Reeve Oddleifson warned
against "an independent arm"
such as the Land Division
Committee would become with
the new legislation. He said he
was "surprised" that the
Executive Committee would
make such a suggestion'when it
was the "first indication'`
Reeve Oddleifson, a member of
a planning board, had had it
in the works.
"It is a little strange to me to
learn the planning board isn't
operating as smoothly as I
thought it was," said Oddleif-
son. ..
;Is the Executive Committee
the committee to decide
policy?" asked Oddleifson. "I
thought each committee was a
committee unto its own. I was
under the impression there was
no senior committee. Maybe
there should be but I'rra afraid I
haven't seen it in the. books."
John Berry, coup Lty clerk
treasurer, referred to the rules
and regulations for E Tome con-
firmation , of the Executive
Committee's powers and while
he admitted the legis elation left
some room for ,argun lent, it ap-
peared the Executiv e Commit-
tee was the only con mittee who
.-had any right to recommend on
policy matters.
"Then let's forn ialize their
authority in the p 'roper man-
ner," said Oddleifs Son.
Berry advised council Od-
dleifson's motion E should be in-
troduced at a late r time in the
meeting for vote 13y council.
The motion finally in-
troduced by Od deifson and
seconded by Ceci .1 Desjardine,
deputy -reeve of S tephen„ 'own -
ship recommend ed that the
Executive Comn iittee be the
senior committe e of council
with power to, recommend
"legislative chant ges, committee

and regulations, administrative
changes a ._nd other
organizational a matters leading

was referred to the Executive
Committee for consideration

In the mea ntime, however',
the Planning Board and the

separated whe !n it was shown
there would b e no duplication
of duties in t he change.
"Itwon't sl ow the process up

Pattison.

mer reeve of • Turnberry Town-

defensive tackle has been con-
sistently strong so far this
season, ranking him as one of
the outstanding players on this
year's edition f the Vikings.
The Vikings d 28-0 at the
end of the first alf on the
strength of four converted
touchdowns. Tom O'Brien
went over on a three yard dive
play while'Joe O'Keefe went
eight yards for another major.
A 30 yard pass and run play
from O'Brien to Doug Fisher
and a 25 yarder from •O'Brien
to Ca.ev Wildgen accounted for
the o 1 'rs. Wildgen kicked the
four converts.
In the second half, the
Vikings added two more touch-
downs on 15 and six yard
passes from Larry Donnelly to
Casey Wildgen.
The Vikings home -opener of
the regular schedule will be
played here today (Thursday)
against St. Marys.
Coach Donnelly plans to use
23 players in this game, to give
experience to as many players
as possible especially on
defence. The lack of depth in
this area is one of the main
concerns of the Viking coaching
staff.
