Gridders Lose Doubleheader To Listowell In Perthex Conference Listowel District High School dealt South Huron gridders a pair of stunning setbacks in Perthex Conference Football' League action this week in Lis- towel. Playing under the lights, SHDHS Panthers absorbed a 20- 12 beating while the local junior club came out on the short end of a 12-6 count. The defeat suffered by the Panthers have put the club on the spot. The locals needed this victory to keep pace with the high flying Mitchell Blue Devils, who dumped Stratford CI 12-0 on the same night. However, all is not lost as South. Huron have one more crack at the Blue Devils in Ex- eter Wednesday aftern.on. The Panthers must whip Mitchell de- cisively if they hope to carry the Perthex Conference champ- ionship colours. Two for Turvey fensive setup all night as he scored all three majors. Two of the majors came on pass play attempts with Ted Hollinger doing the flinging. His first and second touchdowns were scored in the first half while the third came late in the third quarter. Listowel's extra two points came after Lustead's third TD when Hollinger passed to Peter Doig in the end zone instead of booting the convert.

Neil McAllister, playing with a bad leg, lugged the pigskin for South Huron's only major early in the first quarter. All three convert attempts went wide of the uprights. Dale Turvey continued his two touchdowns a game pace by collecting both majors in the losing cause. These two have run his TD string to six in three games. Turvey's f i r s t touchdown came on South Huron's first play in the second half after Ro- ger Cann had made a spectacu- lar recovery on a Listowel fum- ble on the 50 yard line. Turvey ran the 50 yards for an unbal- anced line to the left. Near the end of the third quarter, Turvey ran back a 70 yard punt to pay dirt for his second major of the evening.

In your community you be proud of your young son or daughter who will want to re- present the spirit of internat- ional goodwill by sharing their Hallowe'en fun.
