The big night vaulted Kirk all the way from last place to first.place in Level 2: Bob Fitzjames aLso had a very good, evening winning three of four games to move Out of the honorary division and into second place in level 2. ' Goal scorers were Richard Bowman and Andre Cauchi with two each, and singles were netted by Sean O'Brien, Lonnie Rumig, and Jeff Hodges Birth and super curling The midway mark of the Industrial Curling League season was highlighted last week with a departure; a birthday; a birth and super curling. Pat Munroe made her last night of Industrial curling a night to remember as she curled almost flawlessly to lead the shorts handed and ailing Lady Golfers to an 8 to 4 win over the GDCI No. 1 Teacher team. ' Parsmove to London is un- fortunate for our league but her parting performance left the GDCI crew wishing her promotion had• come one week sooner. Behind the outstanding .ef- forts of Doug Yeo and Dianne Buunark, the • Elementary Teachers gave the Foresters their biggest scare of the half over season as they led by a point giving • into the final end. Part of the Foresteis' trouble appeared to be vice -skip Dennis LeBrun's distraction with his 30th birthday. Fortunately, Forester skip Cam Bogie, having - gone through this crisis a long time ago, was able to get Mr. LeBrun's mind back on the game and Dennis was in- strumental in winning the final end of the match and the 7 to 5 victory. • Paul Schuett celebrated the both of -his 8 lb. 4 ot. daughter Monika by curling • his finest • game • of the season. Schuett's efforts were crucial in the Fisher victory over the Teackers Ink unit. A big four points in the third end was the turning point for the winners as they repelled a strong comeback • attempt tO claim a 10 to 7 triumph. The comeback bid was generated by the ex- cellent shotmaking of Angus McLemian and Elaine Ber- trand but whenever the Teachers dosed in Schuett Would return from cloud nine long enough to end the threat and preserve • Nobody likes to lose a game but some losses are mark ktgt. 4viek-s action harder to take than others. When a team goes into the final end • leading by three alai curling extremely well it is permissible to feel a little confident. When your opponent scores three to tie and then wins the game in an extra end it is permissible to feel sick. The GDCI Teacher No. 2 team experienced these contrasting emotions in their encounter with the Huron Health Unit as they lost a heartbreaker 8 to 7. Very sharp curling by. Chris Connor and Dave Cloet had put the educators in the driver's seat throughout the game but pressure packed precision by the Health Unit's John Orr and Jack MacKinnon in the final stages allowed their team to steal both a victory and the teachers' good mood. The same fate that befell the teacher foursome almost happened to the Champion Sales Office as weu. When a team wins six of a game's eight ends, one would not ex- pect a dose contest. ' • Nevertheless, the battle between the Sales Office and A. M. & G Hospital No. 1 came down to skip rocks in the final end with the out- come very much in doubt. Two big ends by the Hospital unit left them only a single point down and with last rock in the eighth end. Garrow scores 19 goals Atoms win consolation in Seaforth The Goderich Machinist Atoms became the A -series consolation winners in the Seaforth Optimist's 9th annual Atom tournament on the weekend after one narrow loss and two decisive victories. The Goderich Atoms met the London Atoms first on Friday evening, losing 7-6. The London team eventually went on to ,win the A -series championship. The Goderich team got off to a slow start in the first period with London scorirrg two ana nswe red goals. The Goderich boys really applied the pressure in the second and third periods however. Scott Garrow scored an unassisted goal to open up the second period. London came back with one and then Goderich got two more to tie things up by the end of the second period. These were scored by Darren Stanbury unassisted and by Garrow unassisted. London scored to go out in front again at the beginning of the third period. Bill Whetstone scored for Goderich, t assisted by Stan bury , to tie things up once more. London scored three more times in the final period and Garrow answered with two unassisted goals to be named the game's most valuable player. Losing CO London automatically put Goderich into the consolation rotund on Saturday afternoon against Newmarket. Goderich won 10-1 with seven goals by Garrow and one each from Stanbury, Byron Bowman and Jim Kelly. Bowman got three assists, Stanbury got two and Garrow, Terry Penn abeeker and Bill Trebish each get one.

Mike Cox moved into a • solid second place spot wiii- rung both of his games. • Mike's wins also gave him a After a sensational raise take-ciut by.skip Jim Rourke, the Hospital team sat three and looked good until "Lucky" Pete Wanner demonstrated what is known in: curling circles as the "Heartbreaker". Wanner's last rock curled behind cover and froze on a Hospital rock and • when skip Rourke's , "Hail Mary" shot slid_ through the house the Sales Office had their third win 6 to 4. , The A.M. & G. "GC's" fared better than their co- workers as they maintained a hold on second place with a 7-3 victory over the Huron Haven foursome. The match was tied after six ends and as so often happens when two equally fine teams meet the game was decided by in- ches. Crisp curling by the entire' "GC" contingent put the pressure on the Huron naval vice and skip. Vice skip John Durran just miss- ed his take-outs. When brother Bill's final rock went ever so slightly off target the hospital unit had a three ender and control of the con- . test. Tom Jasper was especially efficient for the winners- while Jeff Duran • was strong for 'the Unlucky losers. The Champion Office "Silver Brooms" tried another tactic in their search for success. They brought a cheering section to witness their match with the Lady Foresters. Unfortunately it was the Forester foursome who made the most of this exposure. Behind the excellent ex- ecution of Eleanor Fisher and Vicki Culbert, the Lady Foresters established an early and ever -lasting lead and when the cheering ended they had a 9 to 1 win.

And in case you were beginning to wonder, yes, Local 1863 won again. With the regular season half over the talented foursome of Profit, Crawford, Falkiner and Kelough have yet to endure defeat. In their eighth battle of the year the union unit had to overcome the powerful GDCI Vikings. After the more experienc- ed 1863 men had jumped out to a quick lead the students started a einiiebactii led by Del Mitchehtiore and Steve Taraba.
