Larry had a remarkable increase from .333 last year to .614 this season. Another honorary member needing only two games to qualify is John Kloeze. Tim Reid won two of five games last week and now only needs one more game to make the regular standings. Tim has a real shot at a third Level position. In Level 1 play, Charlie MacDonald won his only game of the night while Louis. Stadelmann won two games to hold onto second spot. Brian Miller who is having a fantastic season picked up three more wins to move up into third pollfition. Brian has lost only one of 26 games! Steve Hammill moved back up into•the second level 'by way of two victories last week.. Steve could still overtake Larry Gower for fourth place. First place in Level 3 is really up for grabs as Bob Fitzjames holds a mere .001 lead over Kirk Lyndon. - In Level A- play Owen Moriarty picked up two wins to strengthen his hold on first place raising his percentage over the .300 mark. Mark Mussell also won two games to move up into third place raising his win -loss mark over the .200 mark.

The mighty Forester dynamo blew a fuse. After fifteen im- pressive victories the Forester foursome finally got a free drink. The team of the night was the Huron Health Unit and all four members of that • squad played roles in the dramatic 4-3 victory. Don Hullah, Phil Paquette, Laurie Ginn and Jack MacKinnon curled superbly as a team and deserved the exciting win. The final ends were the deciding ends as MacKinnon stole one in the seventh to tie the contest and then stole another one in the final end to clinch the upset. In the final end each of the Health Unit members made their shots but the last shot was left to Forester skip Cani Bogie. A difficult double faced Bogie at the end and his shot took out only one rock leaving the winning stone fully in the four foot. Quick to share the credit in victory, Bogie was equally quick to accept full blame in defeat. "It wasn't that hard a double, I should have made it," said Bogie as he sipped on his first free drink of the season. Another upset of sorts occurred right next to the Health Unit -Forester conflict • as the steadily improving GDCI Vikings handed the slumping Local 1863 their third loss in the last four weeks by the score of 10-4. Don Coughlan was out- standing for the Vikings as they once again capitalized on big ends to gain an early "lead and record their seventh win of the season. Novice 1863, members Bernie Koff- man and Roger Bois.. received a rude initiation to the League as the red- hot Vikings refused to give the union reps a break of any sort. Deal Mitchelmore recorded her second triumph as skip for the Mitchelmore Family as they downed Victoria and Grey 8-5. According- to Don i Mitchelmore, the main reason for Del's success is the fact that she has a good vice -skip but last week the entire Mitchelmore clan curled well and took full ad- vantage of a few unusual errors by V&G. V&G skip Eleanor Erskine and Pete Crew made key shots throughout the night but these were generally matched or surpassed by the -Big M unit. The string of major and ,.urur upsets continued as the Victoria Teachers handed the Assessment Office a convincing 10-5 defeat. Barb Lade and Marty Bond had very good nights for the educators while Jim Bell was often forced to make big shots for the Assessment crew to keep it close. There was a rumour abodt foul play since Assessment Office allstar Sue Ritchie was absent but Victoria skip Ron Ritchie denied playing any part .In his wife's absence. For five ends it looked like the Elementary Teachers might also be involved in an upset as they led .the Goderich Legion 4-3 but three, three -enders for the Legion in the final stages resulted in a 12-4 loss for the educators. Phil Turner •and Bill Duncan were the big men in the comeback while Donalda Macdonald and Doug Yeo were strong for the upset teachers. The 'upset trend, however., was re- established by Jim Bolan as he led the Champion .Office unit to an exciting 8-5 win over AM&G Hospital No. 1. Bolan got strong support from Jim "Will Play For Anyone" McCaul as the Office Eager Beavers clinch first Kevin Rumi rolled a 244 and 666 for the first place winners, Eager Beavers, to help them gain five points for a total of 43. Seventh place Easy Rollers with 29, ha,d Glenn Lamb hitting a 226 and 633 triple.

Fifth place. Odd Couples had Dave Team scored early and never looked back. Dennis Miskie was sharp for the slumping Hospital foursome who now find themselves tied with the Champion Girls Team. The • ladies of the Champion Girls team have made some enemies in the last two weeks b,ut they have also established "t'trselves as the- best of the Champion teams. Last week they destroyed the Champion Office and this week they demolished the masculine quartet from the Champion Sales Office 9-4. The key to this victory rested with lead Alma Vollick who started each end off on the right foot for the winners and skip Sylvia Bolan who •made many fine clutch shots to give the Champion girls their sixth victory. Bolan's most devastating shot occurred in the seventh end as the, Sales Office was fighting back. Having scored three points in the sixth end the salesmen sat four in the seventh but Bolan calmly (?") .drew through the crowded . house to sit squarely in 'the four foot and seal the important triumph. Nothing seemed to go right for the AM&G Hospital No. 2 team as they dropped a one-sided 13-2 loss to the GD CI Teachers. Hospital skip Elmer Taylor and lead . Jennifer Matthews both had moments of glory including an excellent double takeout by Taylor They're all coming back!
