A pass from quarterback Dan Maillet to Hodges gave the Vikings a two-point con- version. Good outside blocking by the guards and halfbacks sprung Stuart Crew loose for a 70 -yard touchdown run in the second quarter, to in- crease the Viking's lead.

Vikings complete season with perfect record by TD The GDCI senior Vikings wrapped up a perfect season in Huron Perth Conference football play here last Thursday with a 17-6 victory over Listowel Lords. The victory gave the Vikings a record of six wins and no losses for their regular season performance. The Listowel touchdown, scored by John Wilson in the last minute of play in the game, was the only one given up by the tough Viking 'defence in the six regular season games. The play went R5 yards following a pass that was deflected by two Viking defenders before Wilson latched onto it Even then a spirited effort by Dave MacKenzie stopped the Listowel receiver on the Viking one yard line. From there, it took three cracks at the Viking defence to give the Lords their touchdown. The Vikings led 10-0 at halftime on the strength of a G9 -yard touchdown on a pass and run play from quar- terback Bill Walters -to Dave MacKenzie, converted by Eric Mitchell, and a 30 -yard ^field goal kicked by Mitchell. The only other scoring was a third quarter touchdown by the Vikings' Randy Little on a 52 -yard sweep. Mitchell again kicked the convert.

TROMMER Auburn, Ontario their usual author.ity were two things Donnelly singled out. He felt that the Vikings might have been somewhat intimidated by the early aggressive play of the Lords. Donnelly also felt that perhaps the Vikings had continued to try to run inside against the Lords when they should have started to go outside. Defensively, the Vikings played well, allowing Listowel a total of only 175 yards gained. The Vikings enter semi- final play here next Tuesday against the team which finishes fourth in the regular schedule.
