lost their first game of the
Huron -Perth Conference
schedule here Friday night
when they were set down 48-
40 by the Stratford Central
Ramblers.
The Vikings led 34-19 after
the first half, looking like a
championship team in the
process. They hustled and
played with composure and
displayed great, intensity on
defence.
However, the second half
saw a complete reversal of
form. The Ramblers began
to exert strong pressure on
the Vikings and the Vikes
began to wilt. They lost their
composure and committed
many errors which the Strat-
ford squad was quick to take
advantage of.
Dave.Odbert had 14 points
to lead the Ramblers to vic-
tory. John Brightwell added
12 points.
For the Vikings Don Mc-
Callum had 18 and Ben
Melick 14. Jeff Denomme ad-
ded six and Chris Pitre got
two points.

stay close, setting up the

which provided a good deal
of excitement for the several
hundred enthusiastic fans
who attended.
