The game Monday in Uninspired Midgets drop two straight The Goderich Green and Parent midgets looked somewhat less than impressive in a pair of weekend losses. After playing so well in their previous starts against "AA" and "AAA" teams from London an4 Kitchener, the local midgets came up flat against Lambeth here Saturday, losing that exhibition game, 6-3. Again, Sunday, in a league game, won 2-1 by Walkerton, in Walkerton, the Green and Parent team produced little of the good hockey they are Capable of playing. Both games were characterized by unin- spired play by the for- Wards, defensive lapses -by the defencemen and goaltending that yielded some soft goals to the opposition. Lambeth jumped off to a two goal lead here Saturday on a pair of goals by Don Shore. That lead stood up until Rob Trebish got the first Goderich goal early in the third period, assisted by Mike Hodges and Jim Costello. Matt Jenner came back with a pair for Lambeth and Bill Maton and Jeff O'Brien scored singles to put the visitors in front, 6-1. .• Late goals by Hodges, assisted by Larry Madge, and Madge, assisted by Dan Mailiet and Trebish, made the score more respectable.
