Bantams continue to roll in Shamrock League play The Goderich Elevator Bantams continue to enjoy a successful season in both league and tournament play as they split games in a tournament in Clinton and defeated Dorchester 9-4 here Saturday. The win improved the Elevators' season record to 12 wins against only one loss. They have one win in exhibition play and a win and a loss in tournament action. In the team's first tournament game Nov. 29, Mike Beange scored at 1.41 of overtime to lift Goderich to an 8-7 win. The Elevators tied the game with just 20 seconds remaining in regulation time on a goal by Scott Garrow. He led the offence with five goals and Beange added two. The Elevators played another strong game in the second round of the tournament but dropped a 2-0 decision to Forest. The loss eliminated Goderich from further tournament play. In Shamrock League play here Saturday, Scott Garrow romped for seven points and linemate Barry Thompson chipped in with a six -point effort to lead Goderich to a 9-4 win. Goderich led 1-0 after one period, increased the lead to 4-0 after two and then outscored Dorchester 5- 4 in the final period to produce the 9-4 final. Goderich opened the scoring midway through the opening period as Thompson scored his first goal of the game. Goderich took a commanding lead with three unanswered goals in the second period. GODERICH MINOR HOCKEY REPORT Thompson scored after 21 seconds with Byron Bowman assisting, he scored his third straight goal of the game three minutes later from Garrow and then Garrow scored his first of five goals later in the period. The third period was a goaltender's nightmare as the teams combined for nine goals. (;arrow scored his second goal in the first minute of the period but Dorchester responded with two quick goals to reduce the Goderich lead to 5-2. But Goderich stormed right hack with a short-handed, unassisted effort by Garrow at 5.24. Goderich then put the game away with three straight goals, two by Garrow and another by Thompson. Dorchester scored two more goals to make the final score more respectable. The Elevator bantams are a much - improved team this year under the direction of coaches Paul Kelly and Kevin Meriam. On Der. 19 St. Marys will play in Goderich and on Dec. 21 Strathroy will provide the opposition. Durnin, Boddy lead Midgets to 7 - 5 victory Captain Darrell Durnin had a goal and two assists and Richard Boddy had two goals as the Goderich Legion Midgets battl- ed Dorchester here Saturday and won 7-5, bringing their record to six wins and seven losses. Dorchester came out strong as they scored just 39 seconds into the game. Gary Erb fed Mark Cauchi with a pass and he skated in on the goaltender and made a nice move to score. Dorchester continued to press Goderich and netted two goals before the period ended. To begin the second period, Goderich was on the power play and Steve Hutchins scored with Durnin and Matt Wilkinson set- ting him up. Less than a minute and a half later, Tom Bean evened the score as he and Ryan Kelly combined with hard efforts. Dorchester replied to take the lead but then Goderich carne hack to life, especially Bodes dy as he scored his two goals less than three minutes apart. Roddy picked up the puck on a clearing pass from Tim Wilson and he fired a shot past Dorchester goalie Barney Szabo from the slot. His second goal was almost identical as Roddy skated in but went the other way on the goaltender. The new scoring sensation, Rod Nurse, continued to score as he joined up with Dur- nin and Hutchins on a power play goal to begin the third period. Dorchester made it close with a goal five minutes after Nurse's goal but Darrell Dur- nin scored an insurance marker to preserve the win. Tonight, the Midgets go into St. Marys to play the leagues top team. Dallas fan feels the loss Week 11 in the NFL schedule was sup- posed to be the week that the Dallas Cowboys were going to brand the Chicago Bears and lasso first place in the NFC East. It was to be the battle of the titans with Randy White condemning William Perry all week long before the game, dismissing the `Refrigerator' ploy as a gimic. In Dallas, a sign on the wall of Texas stadium had a quote from White, "Wake up the Maytag repairman, the Refrigerator's going to need service." Even Danny White, the Dallas quarter- back, opened his big mouth in the media prior to the game. "If we can pick out the right guy and hit him (with a pass) within two seconds, great .because we'll give them (the Dears ) two seconds to get to me and that's all. If we execute and do that, we will win," Dan- ny White said. Being a Cowboy fan, I have heard the score of the game hollered at me everywhere I have turned. "The Cowboys got beat 44-0, I thought you said they were going to win," one Cowboy non -believer said. It got so bad that people were even hurl- ing statistics at me. "Did you know that Dallas only got 14 first downs the whole game and Dorsett only rushed for 75 yards?" I was starting to feel like I had played in the game and got clobbered. I even dreamt about the loss. In my dream, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders were practising their cheers when all of a sudden they broke through the Dallas offensive line and through Danny White for a loss. The day after the tragic defeat, the headlines told the story, `Black and Blue Day in Big D, Cowboys Get Mauled by Bear&. There wasn't any refuge from the pounding that America's team was given. After the game, Mike Ditka the Chicago Bears coach, was interviewed and was asked if a score like 44-0 wasn't overdoing it, with a possible rematch on the horizon. "What better emotional spur than those big numbers," Ditka said. I thought there would be life after a 44-0 defeat for the Cowboys. On Thanksgiving though, the Cowboys played like a bunch of turkeys. Although they managed to win the game, they didn't deserve to. They played like a bunch of high school kids. After that loss, I thought they had an emotional let down and that was the reason for their poor showing. It was apparent that I was becoming an NFL addict and that I had to get my fix of Sunday afternoon football or I would en- counter heavy breathing and the urge to eat large quantities of food at one sitting. If the Dallas Cowboys won their weekly matchup, my disease would go into remis- sion for another week. But with the 44-0 loss to Chicago in week 11, I got a fever. With the less than stable performance against the Eagles in week 12, I got a pain in the neck. The terrible performance against the St. Louis Car- dinals in week 13, gave me a sumach ache. The final phase of my disease came last Sunday when the Cowboys were again demolished, this time by the lowly Cincin- nati Bengals 50-24. Cold Chills ran up and down my spine. When I explored the reasons for this phenomena, I realized that it was the dreaded football pool spasms. These come when five or six of the teams you have chosen to win for that week are defeated and you get 90 points or less. Now the cold chills have subsided and my condition has stabilized. 1 just hope there is a physician on hand when it finally hits me that the Cowboys are no longer in first place. When the Cowboys as a team get their heads in the game, instead of thinking about how to spend their pay cheques, then 1 think the Dallas Cowboy fans will have a lot more to cheer about. The big test will come this Sunday when the Cowboys go up against the New York Giants.
