Sr. Vikings look impressive in two victories The GDCI Senior Vikings began their 1986 Huron Perth Conference high school soccer season in an impressive fashion last week with victories over the Exeter South Hurdn Panthers and the St, Mary's Salukis. Wednesday, in Exeter, the Vikings defeated last years' Huron Perth cham- pions, 3-1. Friday, at home the Vikings shutout the Salukis, the team which eliminated them in the playoffs last season, 4-0. The play of the Vikings in these games • dicated that coach Dick Madge's team has a realistic chance of winning the Huron Perth title this season. The Vikings have a strong offence, talented mid - fielders, solid fullbacks .and excellent goaltending. The Vikings played in rain, snow and gale force winds Wednesday in Exeter. Playing against the wind in the first half, the Vikings gave up one goal. The Pan- thers' Chanomone scored vyhen his shot slipped through the hands of Viking keeper Kevin Telford. With the wind at their backs in the se- cond half, the Vikings kept continual pressure on Exeter and scored three goals. Todd Graham got two of the goals. The first came when he kicked in a rebound. which came to him off the crossbar after a scramble in front of the Exeter goal. Graham's second goal saw him outrace the Panther defenders to a through ball. Juergen Schulz, the Vikings talented cen- tre half, scored the other Viking goal when the Exeter keeper punched a corner kick out in front of his net and Schulz sent it past him along the ground. Ian MacKinnon had a strong game at fullback for the Vikings. Against St. Mary's, the Vikings put a lot of pressure on the Salukis in their end and -forced the St. Mary's fullbacks into fouls which resulted in two penalty kick goals by Todd Graham. Graham had another goal to give him a total of five in just two games. John Graham (no relation) scored the other Goderich goal on a good shot to the corner following a long run. Kevin Telford had the shutout in the Vik- ing goal and was steady throughout the game. Pat Frayne, the bionic -footed fullback of the Vikings also had a strong defensive game. The Vikings have road games this week in Seaforth and Mitchell.

Bowlers help Big Brothers The Big and Little Brothers of the North Huron Association have benefitted.a great deal from the past two Bowl -for -Millions Bowleramas, Cathy Boddy of theassocia- tion said. Many people participated in the event the past two years and helped the associa- tion by soliciting pledges. Larry Million topped the pledge -getters this year and Simon Langlois raised the most money in 1985 with an honorable mention going to Marj Moore. The- local Bowler's Association, with Moore, Art'Burt and Harry and Steve Lit- tle of Little Bowl, have helped the associa- tion's event. • Victoria Public School students had the highest team pledge in 1986 with little brother, Carl Beier, bowling for them. In 1985, the doctors of 'Goderich had the highest team pledge, with Dr. Mario Cauchi heading the team. Both team and individual avo'atds'are inpfay at Little - I Bowl. President Boddy said the assueiatiuu is indebted to the Big Brothers who offer their time and to the merchants who donated prizes for their bowling events. Surelythi game is best ODE TO LAWN BOWLING BY BEA ABERHART The twenty-fourth of May, you say Lawn bowlers must get out to play! Picture with me this wondrous sight, Of friends and colleagues all dresed in white, ' Eager to start and play the game, Hoping to gain a little fame. . Your bowl is delivered across the green, You hope it's the best they've ever seen, The game continues up and down, While the skips take turns to wear a frown, A stop for tea and jokery chat, Before we return to place the mat. The battle progresses on and on, - Yet you wonder where time has gone, The final end and the game is won, But you still reflect on what you've done. A game enjoyed by young and old, With many a story to be told. Each green a little oasis made, Where daily troubles begin to fade, A short respite, a relaxing test, Surely this game of bowls is best.
