It was the fifth straight championship for Goderich: (photo 'by Smith) The G.D.C.I. junior Vikings were, eliminated from the Huron -Perth Conference foot- - ball playoffs in Exeter last Tuesday, losing to South Huron, 34-6, in the semi-finals. South Huron fullback Kevin Baker scored 'four touchdowns on runs of five, seven, 35 and 60 yards. The other Exeter touchdown came on a 75 -yard pass and run play from quar-t terback John Vanderwen to Randy Funston. The junior Vikings only touchdown came from a 40 yard sweep by hard -running Lee Arbour. The game was not as one sided in Territorial play as the score suggests, but three defen- sive errors by the Vikings cost them -long touchdown plays. `""""• The Vikings finished third in regular league play. The Pan- thers finished first, with their only loss of tie season to Goderich in regular schedule. Exeter went oh to win the junior championship,.defeating_ Clinton, 6-0 in the finals on Saturday.

Hard running fullback Joe O'Keefe, •described by coach Ray Donnelly as one of the most outstanding runners ever to play in the Huron -Perth Conference, carried the mail for the Vikings on two of the three Goderich touchdowns. The big Irishman's first score came on a four yard dive play early in the first quarter, on the Viking's first offensive ser'ie, following the opening kickoff. Casey Wildgen kicked the con- vert to give the Vikings a 7-0 lead that stood up through the remainder of the first half. The slippery conditions aricl cold wind made offensive •drives hard to sustain, but the Vikings dominated the first :half territorially. ` The Vikings started strong again in the second half, with O'Keefe breaking -into the clear and going 40 yards for his second' touchdown only four minutes into the third quarter. Wildgen again converted. From that point, the Redmen's defence sagged noticeably and the Vikings"took control of the game. Jim Ginn capped .another third quarter march, going over from the three ward line. The only other scoring came on a 25 yard field goal kicked in the fourth quarter by Casey \Vildgen. . The Vikings reached the finals by. blanking Listowel Lords .14-0 in semi-final action here last Tuesday. Joe O'Keefe and Brian Thompson scored two touchdowns apiece, while Tom O'Brien had' the• other touchdown. As they have been all season, the Viking defence was strong. In seven league and two playoff games, they allowed a total of only 18 points, an average of only two points per game. The Viking offense, on the other hand, piled up 333 points for an avetage of .37 points per game. Much of the success of the Vikings inside running was due to the strong offensive line which had Gary Allen,. at cen- tre, Tim McGee and Brian Whitely at guard spots, Jim Durst and Wally Pierson at the tackles and Casey and Mike Wildgen at the ends. - Jim Durst and Robbie . MacDonald were the heart of the defensive line, backed up by three strong defensive backs in Tom O'Brien and the Wildgen brothers, Casey and Mike. Coach Donnelly, and his assistant Gerry Paolin felt, the 'success of the Vikings this year was due to -a combination. Of -outstanding talent plus a good measure of dedi"cati•c►n and hard work by all of the team.
