(Photo by Cath Wooden) BY TD The GDCI Junior Vikings showed signs of promise in their 14-0 exhibition football victory over Sarnia St Clair here Friday. Possessing a combination of good size and speed, the Vikings controlled the game in both offensive and defensive categ or ie s. The Vikings jumped on top in the first quarter with a 65 - yard touchdown drive - capped by a 14 -yard sweep by running back Ed Craig. A two-point conversion at- tempt was unsuccessful. In the second quarter, the Vikings went for another long march, engineered by the strong running of backs Ed Craig and Pete Stahl. Their second touchdown came on a 17 -yard pass from quarterback John Thompson to end Shawn Rahbek. Another two-point convert attempt was no good. The only scoring in the second half came on two singles of 37 and 49 yards kicked by Andrew Telford. With the game well in hand, Viking coaches Bill Garrow and Bruce Baker were able to make use of their large crop of rookies who con- stitute 21 of their 31 man roster. Although the coaches saw lots of areas that required work, which is inevitable with early season junior teams, the Vikings should be a definite contender in the Huron -Perth Conference. GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1981—PAGE 9 Dear Betty Well he did it again. Some help you were! 1 got a card and yes, money for my birthday. Every year, the same. 1 guess 1 shouldn't complain it beats being stuck with something 1 hate. Last week 1 couldn't afford to buy anything for myself so 1 want to go back to Gordon's Ladies. Wear in Festival Square, Stratford, to spend my birthday money : on a really good outfit. That Ports skirt and blazer was really sharp and not too expensive when you . i consider the wear I'll get out of 4t. I also saw a really nice blouse that would match perfectly. Of course it won't be just that easy. 1'11 change my mind, as soon as 1 get loose in that store. , 1 do need a winter jacket,and they have really nice Utex wool jackets with hoods,that are very reasonably priced. Or, 1 could go for a Mon di wool skirt and a Parkhurst or Spanner Sweater , for quality, value, and style its really a hard decision. Then of course, I'm always complaining about pot being able to get slacks where the waist and bums are in the same places and proportions as mine. Mr. Leonard slacks, always fit beautifully and Gordon's carry Mr. Leonard slacks , shirts and blouses. Well, I've got supper to make ironing to do and Another World is about to start- See you Sat. [adv.] Mary Jane Now that summer has drawn to a close, you can barbecue indoors with a Jenfl-Air ---- l The Vikings play their first league game Thursday in Stratford against the Stratford Central Ramblers. The following Thursday, the Vikes play their home opener against the Norwell Redmen as part of a junior - senior doubleheader. SPORTS PAGE Lakeport Ad. pulls it off The McGee Pontiacs' 2-1 extra• inning victory in game three of the GIFL finals was short-lived as Lakeport Advertising came back to finishjhem off in game four by a score of 105.1.akeport wonthefinal series three games to one. The League congratulates Lakeport Advertising's .new manager -sponsor. Ron Harris, and coach Vic Whetstone on their team's exciting and hard-earned victory. Last Wednesday, . game three saw McGees squeeze out a 2-1 win in the bottom of the ninth and push the series to a fourth game. Lakeport Advertising was on the scoreboard first, picking upone run in the opening inning on a double by. Greg Hansen and Simon Langlois' run -scoring single. The lead held up until the bottom of the first when Ron Klages scored after singling, moved to second on a passed ball, and came home on Paul Kelly's single: Following a . brief: -rain delay, play , resumed but neither team mounted any scoring threat until the eighth inning. Both McGees and Lakeport loaded the bases in the eighth, but both teams were unable to score as Ken Daer and Simon Langlois pitched their way out of the inning. McGees pulled it out in the bottom of the ninth when Paul Bartliff earned a base on balls, and • then with two ,out, intentional walks were issued to the hard-hitting duo of Klages and Kelly to load the bases. Rick Sowerby, :two for; two in the previous. game, then.hammered a line drive past the first baseman to win the game and force the fourth game. In the final playoff game Sunday, • Lakeport Advertising erupted for 10 runs on 11 hits and seven McGee errors to clinch the deciding game and win the GIFL championship. Lakeport picked up four runs in the bottom of the second on five consecutive singles by Len Kolkman, Ron Corriveau, AI Sygrove, Bill Gallow and Greg Hansen. In the next inning they appeared to have it all wrapped . up when they scored three. more runs thanks to three McGee fielding errors and a Bill Gallow triple. However, the hardhnosed Pontiacs, the power -hitting team of the GIFL, stormed back with five runs collecting one in the fourth, and four more in the fifth. In the fourth, Rick Sowerby doubled to start the inning and came home on, brother Ron's single. In' the fifth, the meat of the McGee line- up notched four runs on consecutive singles by Klages,. Kelly and ..Rick Sowerby. Ron Sowerby then cleaned the bases with a towering three -run homer. Just when it looked as, if they were coming. back, `McGees sealed their fate in • the fifth when shoddy fielding contributed to three more runs for the Advertisers and '-a 10-51ead:. __ Ron Corriveau doubled to lead off; Sygrove reached first on an error, and the infamous' Bill Gallow stroked a triple to score two. Greg Hansen, as he has been doing all series, brought Gallow home with a hard shot to the second baseman who was unable to make a play. Big hitters of the night were the dangerous duo of Gallow and Hansen, who reached base in their eight trips to the plate. For McGees, the Sowerby brothers and Ron Klages each collected two hits. The winning pitcher was Simon Langlois who collected his eighth win in 10 playoff games. As with most championship teams, it requires a team effort to come out on top. This year was no exception. When the Advertisers needed the key hit, someone in the line-up .came up with it. When the pitching had to be there, • Langlois did 'it. And when the big play had to be made, the defence rose to the occasion. Player .of the week Greg Hansen of Lakeport Advertising, who reached base seven out• of eight at bats, came up wih key hits in the final two playoff games VO win player of the week honors. Honorable inentions go to Bill Gallow, who was on base five of eight times and teamed with Hansen to spark Lakeport's offence, and to. Ron Klages of McGees, this • year's batting champion, for reaching base six out of nine times over the last two games.
