Catholic Central went on to win their side of the tournament draw, but lost the championship to Sarnia St. Pat's, 39-25, in the championship game. The Vikings led Catholic Central 14-2 in the first quarter, but the Goderich girls missed several layups following steals that could have put the game on ice. C.C.H. battled back, gradually reducing the Vikings' lead. Goderich led 14-8 after one quarter, 23-19 at half-time and 30-29 after three quarters. The game was tied 42-42 at the end of regulation time, but it was the Vikings who had to fight back to force the lvertime. They trailed by six in the fourth quarter, but Kim Fritzley, the Vikings' top player in the tourney, ran in three suc- cessive layups to tie the score and force the overtime session. C.C.H. got the only point of the overtime on a foul shot to take the victory. Kim Fritzley had a total of 27 points for the Vikings. Kara Ryan was London's best with 13 points. Christine Stapleton had five points for the Vikings while Cathie Gallow and Tammy Gibbons had four each. Mary Murphy added two. points to the Goderich total. Coach Phil Bugler felt the play of his Vikings was adversely affected by the long layoff his team has had since winning the Huron Perth championship two weeks ago, but he was extremely proud of the effort put forth by the GDCI team. Pee Wees win one but lose two on weekend The Goderich Lions Pee Wees completed a strenuous weekend by winning one and losing two to bring their season record to seven wins and four losses. On Friday night the Lions were com- pletely dominated by Parkhill, losing 12-5. Goderich fell behind 5-0 early and rallied to make it 5-4 before Parkhill went on to make it a rout. Bill Trebish and Scott Garrow had two goals apiece while Bill Whetstone scored a. single for the Lions., Assists went to Greg Alcock with two and Garrow, Jeff Boyce, Darren Stanbury and Chris White with one each. Saturday night action saw the Lions shut out Ilderton 3-0 in a fast paced game. Scott Garrow scored three short-handed goals to account for the Lions scoring. Assists went to Greg Alcock and Larry Leppington. Tom Durnin recorded the shut out. In a hotly contested game on Sunday, the Lions faltered in the first three minutes by having three goals scored against them by Strathroy who went on to defeat the locals 8=4. Strathroy led 3-1 after the second period but before the third period was a minute old, the Lions had tied the score at three. The game stayed close until the final few minutes when the opposition took control of the game. Scott Garrow had two goals for Goderich with single markers to Larry Leppington and Jim Kelly. Single assists went to Jordon Grasby, John Strickland and Bill Whetstone. This Saturday the Lions will be hoping to keep their legs for the whole game as they do battle with Strathroy again before going to Ilderton on Tuesday.

Marr) Bantams lose to Parkhill but out -shoot Ilderton Goderich Elevator Bantams journeyed to Parkhill Friday evening to face their rivals for the third time. The first period was an evenly matched contest but it was Parkhill who seemed to have the breaks. Although • Ray Bedard made many stops, he was unlucky on two. The .second period was one-sided as Parkhill added four more goals with ex- cellent passing and team play. Goderich failed to present any threat except for one occassion when Darren Doak and Kevin, Telford found that if they passed the puck back and forth to one another, they could • work it down to the opposition's end. Starting the third period and down 6-0, the Goderich boys started pressing hard. Richard Boddy was robbed on one oc- cassion as was Chris Sideris. Parkhill scored again shortly after the period began. Midway through the period, Kevin Talbot picked up a rebound from a shot by Darren Doak and popped it into a top corner. A minute later, Parkhill notched theireighth goal and at the time, they were two men short. Except for the strong play of Chris Sideris, Brian Chambers and Kevin Telford, the score could have been even greater. Goderich drew eight minor penalties during the game and Parkhill had five. On Saturday, Goderich hosted Ilderton at the local arena- in a fast, action -filled game:The. first period was scoreless as Todd Wilson and his counterpart in the Ilderton net made some outstanding saves. Mark Burbine started the ball rolling for. Goderich in the second period as he drifted a long hard slapshot from outside the blue line that eluded the Ilderton goalie. Five minutes later, Kevin Talbot scored, assisted by Darren Doak and Kevin Telford,' making the score 2-0. Ilderton came back with two quick goals to make it a tie. The Goderich boys kept pressing and before the period ended, Sideris sank one in from the blue line and Jim Beattie scoredon a pass from Richard Boddy. A strong periodof hockey was played by Kevin Telford and Darcy McGee. • The third period belonged to Goderich, controlled by the fine playing of Chris Sideris. Matt Wilkinson scored, assisted by Darren Doak, and Jim Beattie netted his second goal, assisted by Sideris and Dave Telford. The Goderich boys out -hustled and out-• shat Ilderton by a wide margin as they pulled together as a team. OnIy five penalties were assessed in the entire game, two to Goderich• and three to Ilderton.

High on the list of the warm and won- derful group were the representatives of Sifto Salt. Both Sifto teams produced big wins. The Sifto Evaporators got their first taste of victory by giving the GDCI Teacher no. 2 foursome their first taste of defeat 5 to 4. The determined Evaporators took a quick lead on some fine shooting by Jan Ginn but were forced to beat off a spirited comeback effort by an obviously "burned out" teacher unit .\ Tim Colwell was particularly sharp in the final ends to secure the triumph. The more experienced Sifto Salt "Maniacs"' also made a teacher group their victim as they downed the Elementary Teachers 7 to 3. Ralph Brown and Tim McGrail seemed to enjoy the "teacher bashing" more than anyone as they rarely missed an opportunity to make the elementary educators miserable. Through it all, Donalda Macdonald remained calm, cool, collected and classy despite the obvious temptation to send the entire Sifto unit to the corner. Examination fatigue showed on the faces of the GDCI Vikings as they battled with the flashy- and fresh Victoria and Grey contingent. The Vikings were never in the contest despite a yeoman's (look it up) efforts by Mark Jeffrey and Paul Bogie. V&G regulars Teichert, Denomy and Arm- strong were aided by import and brother- in-law of Brenda Teichert, Terry Theriault. The 10 to 3 final was a credit to the ever -improving V&G foursome but it was clear that the Vikings had other "credits" on their mind. It looked like education was going to flunk out entirely on this night as the GDCI Teacher no. 1 squad fell behind 5 to 0 in their battle with the "paraful" Maitland Golfers. A few great efforts by Bill Worsell and Doug Bundy combined with fickle ice and lucky rolls, however, turned the game around in the middle ends and the GDCI foursome squeaked out an 8 to 7 victory. Lynn Todgham and Susan White were calm, cool, collected and . classy, all evening though they were' heard to remark about sending someone to "the far corners of the earth." Entrepreneur Edward Brissette (alias Edwina Brissette) has a philosophy: "The family that curls together, ' stays together!" That idea was put to the test this night as Ed and family fell prey to a union of a different sort, Local 1863. Union skip, Jack Kellough opened up to this reporter and revealed his philosophy of life: "It they put it in the house, take it out; if they put it out front, draw behind it." Words to live by! The very close contest that ended in a 6 to 5 win for the unionists made it difficult to tell which philosophy was superior but it might be noted that Ardithe, Brenda and Dave left without Ed. Tom Profit was tremendous as the Legion team won a hard fought battle with the M.A.S.H. unit from AM&G Hospital. Profit's broom boomed throughout the night and the noise from his crisp takeouts could be heard in Seaforth. Remarkably, the short-handed reps of our hospital were able to withstand Profit's onslaught and take the game tied 6 to 6 into the final end. Richard Ottewell's draw weight was almost letter perfect all night while Marty Bond and Roger Bois each had moments of glory, be it all too fleeting. The final 10 to 6 score should tell you something. Since Tom is only allowed two rocks to an end, either John Anderson, Jim Bell or 'Gei'rq ',Walters, must. have con- tributed something to the victory too. There was good and bad news for followers of the Foresters' saga. The men won; the women did not. Laurie Paquette and John Orr, known affectionately around the club as the "Odd Couple", were excellent for the Huron Health Unit as they overpowered the Lady Foresters 12 to 4. Barb Lassaline and Vicki Culbert represented their organization with style but HHU skip Jack MacKinnon never let up. In fact, his agressiveness. resulted in a four point final end and prompted Karen MacKinnon to remark, "Is he never satisfied?" The Foresters win left them all alone in first place with the only perfect 4 and 0 record in the league. The latest victim of "Bogie's . Bashers" was the Champion Office "Silver Brooms". Skip Paul Mulligan can take a little comfort in the fact that every skip involved. in Industrial League Curling has been in his shoes at least once after facing the "awesome" Foresters. Novices tie Lucan team Goderich's Garb and Gear Novice team recorded a one -one tie with Lucan on home ice during Shamrock League play Saturday. Lucan opened up the scoring early in the first period. The tying goal from Goderich didn't come until half way through the third period with Jared Whalen scoring, assisted by Jason Jeffrey and Ian Bowman. The local Novice team will travel to Strathroy Saturday for a game.

Goderich opened the scoring just 42 seconds into the first period with an unassisted goal by Chris O'Neill, the team's newest player. O'Neill is going to prove a valuable asset to the team as he went on to score two more goals in the Midgets split BY TI) The Goderich Legion Branch 109 Midgets split a pair of Shamrock League hockey games on the weekend, defeating Ilderton here 5-4 Saturday, but losing 3-1 to Parkhill Sunday in Parkhill. The Legionnaires' victory over Ilderton was a hard-fought come oin= hirid Ilderton had a 3-1 lead in the second period but Goderich came back with two goals to send the teams into the final period deadlocked at three goals each. Ilderton got the go-ahead goal at the two minute mark, but the Legionnaires tied it on a goal by Pete Willems at the 8:31 mark and then Todd Jeffrey' got the winner less than a minute later on a goal -mouth game fora hat -trick. Other Goderich goals were scored by Jeff Hodges, Richard Bowman, Tim Harrison and Andre Cauchi. Hodges and Harrison each got two assists with singles going to Lonnie Rurnig, O'Neill And Bowman.
