The Local 1863 unit record- ed. their eleventh win by e f-eatlag-La-La-dy Foresters tet tot Charlie Crawford and "Boom Boom" Profit curled ex- tremely well for their team ParticularlY. in the ..middle. ends when the lady foursome showedsigns of a comeback. Leading the Lady Foresters in this attempt Were Eleanor Fisher and Heather Jewell. Both Jack Kellough and Bernice Moore complained that, after last Week's candlelight curling,. the game seemed Much duller in total light There was nothing dull, however, about the contest between the AM&G "GCs" and the Huron Health Unit. Dennie Miskie was outstanding for the "GCs" as they fought back from an early deficit to take a' one, point lead in the seventh end. Fine -shots by Laurie Pa- quette gave the Health Unit a chance for victory in the final end. Rip jack Ma,eKin- non's last shot appeared on target until the last few feet when it suddenly veered away leaving the "GCs" with another point and their eleventh win. While the "GCs" had to wait until -the last shot in the eighth end to- learn of their fate, the Foresters had to wait even longer. The match between the U. and 1 'foresters and the 4 and 8 GDCI TeaChers No: 1. unit Losses by the Health Unit and Huron Haven allowed the Vikings to move up into second. Just as .the Health Unit's loss came on the final rock so it was with Huron Haven. Strong curling from Bill Kuran and Claus Etzler had moved the Haventfour- some. back into contention after falling behind early in the match. Their opponent the_GIIX.I. Teacher No. 2 foursome, however, .was not about to crack under the pressure. Chris Connor and Dave Cloet had erijey0 excellept games throughout but it fell to Bill Garrow to make the deciding shot Garrow delicately rais- ed a front guard into the four foot circle and the Teachers frantically protected it for the remainder of the end to claim a well earned 7 to 6 victory. The GDCI win brought their record to the 'mu 'mark ‘10#143PC 4'he contest was an ex- cellent one that featured tri- ple and double takeouts; freezes; hit and rolls and very powerful sweeping. Teachers Bill Worsell and Del. Almeida were par - Ocularly. sharp as they com- pared their skills with the - -talented Jamieson • PJbey and Dennis Lebrun. ' In a close contest such as this one, it often falls to the skips to decide the winner. Althotigh teacher skip George Sutton curled over his head -all night it was still not good enough to defeat the cool, intelligent perfor- mance of Forester skip Cam Bogie as the Foresters claimed a 6 to 5 win. Second place is also oc- cupied by three teams but only one moved up during thepast week and even they appeared headed for defeat for most of thegame. The GDCI Vikings dropped quickly behind 4 to 0 after three ends to the Champion Office "Silver Brooms" but just as. the thought of their lirstatictory beganeto enter_ the minds of the Champion foursome the Vikings Wane - ed back to score four in the fourth and tie the math. Despite the enthusiastic efforts of Barry Page and Paul- Mulligan their young opponents took control of :the game and finished strong to record a 10 to 6 triumph. The resurgent Vikings were led by Steve Taraba, and Mike Pacruette. • and you guessed it, they too are in a three-way tie for the remaining "A" , draw posi- tions. The Maitland Lady Golfers moved up to this vantage point with a crisp win over the Elementary Teachers. . . . Behind, the fine' .work...of,.. Kay Duncan and Penny Peters the Lady "swingers" tripled ;the score on the. educators. 9 to 3. Donalda Macdonald and Don Bud - nark put up a strong defence but when the golfers are on they are a very tough team to overthrow. The next position in the standings is also homefor three teams. Fisher Builders and unampion Sales Office won to join the GDCI Teacher No. 1 team - who have been patiently waiting for them to catch up for a number of weeks. An "tmeXpeeted" triple takeout ..retulted in a decisive three ender for Jim Bell and his Fisher team- mates late in their match against the AM&G Hospital No. 1 unit. Although the tri- ple was the big shot of the contest the Fisher foursome made many more as they overpowered AM&G.9-to-3. Sue Ritchie proudly wear- ing number "33" proved the .old saying "You're not get- ting older, you're getting better" as she provided the edge in the Fisher win. Vice skip Craig Cass curled very well but he too admitted that he was hooked on candlelight curling and found the normal version rather mundane. The shot of the week award goes to Pete Wanner. Skip Wanner saved his great shot to the very end in their confrontation with the Teacher Ink or anization. Superb efforts by Jim -1%We-it and Rim Ritchie throughoutthe game com- bined with equally fine per- formances by Monica Page and Bill Hayward to keep the _.._gartieiri a constant state of flux. Thi ineiaiuify con- tinued to the ultimate con- clusion as the Teacher Ink Whit -placed two well- hidden, rocks into the 'house and prepared to celebrate. Only one shot remained for . Pete Wanner. He must draw the four foot circle! He did; Champion Sales Office won; Ink lost and so ended another hectic evening of Industrial League Curling!

Vikings have 'sweet revenge' BY TD The GDQ junior boys came through in the clutch Thursday in Stratford in the battle of the onttendefeated teams in the Huron -Perth Conference junior basketball standing, defeating the Stratford Northwestern Huskies, 56 -36. Coach Lynn Meyers regarded the victory as sweet revenge over the team that eliminated the Vikings in last year's playoffs. Meyers felt he got the best game that his five starters have beea able to put together this season. Ben Melick, Chris Pitre, Jeff Denomme, Don McCallum and Andrew Telford played with intensity defensively right from the beginning of the game and prevented the Huskies from penetrating their zone. This forced the Huskies to shoot from outside and Andrew Telford tote down rebound • after rebound from the defensive boards for the Vikings. On offence, the Vikings were able to move the ball around to the open man and make the best shot selection Manday,March 2,1981 M.F.
