East Exeter, Ont. �- The clinton game was won 46-28 with Alice Dietrich scor- ing eleven points. First year senior Irene Brand had nine points with Brenda Bell and Faye Gaiser each adding eight. The seniors must resist the temptation of playing at the level of their weaker op- ponents. They had the oppor- tunity to reassess themselves against the Fanshawe College team last night. As well several games in Windsor this weekend should prepare them for the improved teams they will meet in the playoffs. South Huron's juniors are essentially out of the six team playoffs. Their 2 and 6 league record is an improvement over last year. Wednesday's Clinton game was very close. Clinton was up by one in the last minutes and began to stall. South Huron's juniors did not know how to handle this so coach Pat Rowe gambled and called her third time-out of the half and therefore receiv- ed a technical foul. Clinton missed both those shots but then scored later on an Ex- eter foul to win 23-20. Kelly Whiteford had 10 points and rebounded exceptionally well. Kris Lovie had a good, well- controlled game. The juniors lost Monday to St. Marys but may earn one last win over Seaforth, tomor- row at home.

TOSS THE FLAG — Sean Whiteford appears to be the victim of a face -mask penalty as he runs for a big gain in the SHDHS junior Panthers win over Norwell, Thurs- day. Whiteford and backfield mate Bill Fisher ripped big holes in the defence to pace the juniors to their 33-0 triumph. Seniors blanked Juniors South Huron's Junior Pan- ther football team virtually secured first place for itself in its last match. The team defeated a team from Norwell High School in Palmerston 33-0 Thursday in their second last game of the season. Bill Fisher rushed for 164 yards in the game and scored two touchdowns. Sean Whiteford successfully ran for one and completed a pass from Scott Miller tb chalk up two more for the Panthers. Miller himself played an ex- cellent game having around . 50 percent of his passes com- pleted. Coach Dave Cox said Scott probably played his best game all season.

Aaron Bullock played a rather strong game making 18 tackles. John Hamilton, Steve Wilkinson and Trevor Ratz each accounted for five tackles, John and Marc Clausius each making pass interceptions. Dale Kegler also merits mention for filling in for Brian Topp who was sick and miss- ed this game. He kicked three converts and booted some ex- cellent kickoffs. In their next game, the Panthers face Listowel. last ootbal I year's conference champions. Senior football Once again, the senior Pan- thers did not quite fare so well as their junior counterparts. They also face Norwell who defeated them 10-0. The serlior's problem lies with their offence, which, although for them the season is over, seems to be constantly improving. Most of their efforts are now concentrated on building a strong team for next year. Most of the strong junior players will become of senior age next year and this should help build a stronger team, The senior Panthers should be stronger next season. • Terrain vehicles to entertain Knights Friday night, October 28. fans at the London Gardens will see something between periods that doesn't fit into a normal hockey game.

Often frustrating, and always demanding of your patience, energy and love. Yet despite its demands, or maybe because of them, thousands of people take foster children into their homes each year. Some are children, some are teenagers. Some have special physical or emotional needs. But all have one thing in common. They need a sense of place and security to help them through -a difficult period in their lives, and to prepare them for reuniting with their families. There's a very basic joy in shanng with a child or young person some of the richness that life has given you. As part of a team of social workers and other professionals, you'll be helping foster children and their parents when they need help most. And helping yourself at the same time, to mature and grow as an individual. If you'd like to learn more about becoming a foster parent. contact your local Children's Aid Society or Family and Children's Services. It's not an easy task. Few jobs demand more of a person.

Premier Ministry of Community and Social Services Most advance to WOSSA Two H.P cross country tities for SN The dedicated training of South Huron's cross country runners paid off at Huron - Perth and will continue as all but one South Huron runner competes at WOSSA this Fri- day. South Huron captured the Huron -Perth senior and midget girls championships and was second in both the midget and junior boys races. The senior girls did not win their team title for the second straight year with as much ease as expected. Coach Joe Fulop's worried face could be seen calculating his promis- ing girls' chances. The strong team squeaked through, three points above second - place rivals from St. Marys. South Huron had 23 points. Two junior runners who have moved up to senior made the win possible so Sheila Regier placed third in 22:11 and Irene Dietrich finished fourth in 22:16. In only her second race of the season Catherine Patter- son was unsure of her capabilities but was the sixth place finisher. Cramps af- fected many South Huron run- ners. Such was the case of Mary Lou Rundle who fell back to tenth spot. Not in the top four for the school but running very well were Susan Sullivan (11), Esther Van Oss (12), and cramp -plagued Sue Birm- ingham (14), Tracy Ducharme (14) and Angela Fleming (23). These physically strong girls must prepare. themselves mentally for the WOSSA competition in Lon- don. They have the ability and depth to repeat their 1982 championship. South Huron ran away with the midget girls trophy with 25 points. Jeanette Van Esbroeck proved strong and competent for the bronze. Lindy Dillon who had turn- ed in incredible pre- conference performances fell to nerves, cramps and the strain of having to race last. The spunky runner finished sixth followed by Kathleen Little with a well-deserved seventh place finish. The fourth team position was held by Barb Lawson who finished ninth. Paulette Rauthbaurer ran seventeenth. These first year runners have shown promising strength and ability. However, each will have to run at optimum to compete at WOSSA against Sarnia Nor- thern and Catholic Central for the top two teams which quality for OFSAA, November 5 in London. The cold wind at the Wildwood Conservation Area Thursday made the races dismal. Huron -Perth has dwindled in competitors such that there was only an average of 35 in each race. South Huron's midget boys Snowmobile racing in wilder form A wild form of snowmobile racing come to Hully Gully on Sunday, October 30. Hully Gully is the site of this year's Ontario Snowmobile Grass Drag Championships and Watercross Competition. 3 separate sanctioning bodies, the MWSDRA, COSDA, and BPDR have joined forces fol- this provincial championship. Classes range from the new "crate stock" machines to the wild 100 mile -per -hour, 100 plus horsepower Open Modified machines. Some of the open modified sleds can hit one hundred miles per hour on the eighth -mile grass drag strip. Entrants from all over On- tario will battle for this, the biggest grass drag event in the province this season Other attractions include a Watercross competition. Both amateur and professional competitors, including world record -holder Greg Balchin will be skimming across the pond at Hully Gully.

Amateur racing starts al 10:30, with the open classes beginning around noon. were second to St. Marys by four points with 26 points. • Mark Johnston was Exeter's overall top finisher in second place with a time of 19:34. He and the winner were way in front of the pack and should fare well at WOSSA. Litt .e Le, Bott waq sixth place finisher with Craig Winbow eighth. Steve Harburn was the midget's fourth runner in tenth spot. Mike Rankin was twenty-second. The midget boys race at WOSSA will be tough but South Huron's runners are improving with each race. With 53 points the junior boys were a distant but com- petent second to Stratford Central's perfect score of 10. Much improved Glenn Durie led South Huron in seventh spot; finishing in 25:29. Jeff Wareham had a good finish at eleventh. Tim Teeter was sixteenth and Don Wareing nineteenth. Contributing to their team's placement were Greg O'Tolle )25), Raymond Lewis (26), Dan Morley (30) and Murray Rundle ( 33). WOSSA's junior boys race will be extremely competitive but the ex- perience will be good for the runners. Solesenior boy runner, Paul Novack placed thirteenth, just three positions out of WOFSA qualification. The WOSSA and OFSAA course is at the Byron Ski Club in London. It consists of fields, woods, many hills and a massive ski hill. The WOSSA meet begins this Fri- day morning.
