Although both teams had power play opportunities, neither could successfully penetrate the oppositions' defense. On Thursday night, Sherwood's Dennis Kerr and Auburn's Len Kohnert each scored two goals during the first period and it looked as if the Auburn team (which has not yet won a game) was going to pull an upset.

Boyle managed to life the ball over United's goalie Fred Shoemaker for the point. During the second perbaki,iertther team could beat the opposition's goalie and it appeared as if the game was going to end with a 1-0 score. But with only 56 seconds left to play Jeff Denomy got a break away and scored and unassisted goal for the Rebels. Sixteen seconds later Paul Helsic ended Jim MacDonald's chances of a shutout when he got the lone United goal. On Thursday night United made a strong comeback from their Tuesday night defeat when they bombed Brewers, 10-0. Playing as a forward this time, Fred Shoemaker led the scoring with three goals. The other goals were scored by teammates Randy Middle (who got two and an assist), Bill Lewis, Ian Chisholm ( who also got two), Mark Frane and Bill Peters.

Mare) GDCI senior Vikings end season with two losses By TD The GDCI senior Vikings had a winning season in Huron -Perth soccer competition, losing , only twice in their eight game schedule, but they failed to make the Con- ference playoffs. The Vikings finished with a record of three wins, three ties and two losses, giv- ing them nine points and a tie with Exeter for fourth place, the last playoff position, in the standings. However, Exeter was awarcteo tourtn place on the basis of a bet- ter "goals for" minus "goals against" record. The Panthers were plus four in goals whilethe Vikingswere plus three. The Vikings dug themselves into a hole by losing 4-1 to Listowel Monday in Listowel, but made a valiant attempt to overcome their unfavourable goals for and against record in a 3-1 victory over Mit- chell here Wednesday. Playhing with tremendous intensity, trio Vikings built up a 3-0 lead over Mitchell by the middle of the second half, knowing they had to win by four goals to take the last playoff spot. However, Mitchell scored one goal and the Vikings were frustrated in their attempts to score any more. Greg Marshall scored the first Viking goal, kicking in 'his own rebound off the goalpost. "Jhn MacDonald showed all-out determination hi catching up to a through - ball to score the second Viking goal. Jeff a Denomme's goal early in the second half put the Vikings within reach of their necessary margin of victory but the lone Mitchell goal ended the scoring. Viking coach Dick Madge was pleased with his team's play but could not help but reflect on how the same degree of intensity shown by his players in this game may have provided another victory earlier in the season and avoided the almost im- possible necessity of winning the last game by four goals. "Maybe that's the lesson we learned from this season," said Madge. The Vikings' loss to Listowel Monday featured three Listowel goals of ahnost identical description: high Idling shots that got over the Vikings' goaltender and dropped in just below the crossbar. Andrew Telford was the victim on the first tWo Listowel goals. He was then replaced by Casey Vanden Heuvel.
