Burt hopes to bowl for bucks Local bowler places second in Ontariocompetition • A Goderich bowler just about made it to the big time in a recent five -pin bowling tournament played in Toronto. Art Burt of Vanastra competed against the top bowlers in Ontario and placed se- cond, averaging 272 over 15 games. The winner of the tournament advanced to represent Ontario in the Southern Ontario CBC finals. The program will be aired for five weeks, starting January 8. Burt was not content with his second place finish and he vows to make it to the top next year. He has been bowling for 23 years and he feels that concentration is the key to the sport. "When I go up to the line, I think about getting a strike - it's the name of the game. Then I look for my spot on the floor. I may look at the pins for a second before I begin my wind up. But when I get my spot, I keep my eye on it until the ball crosses it," he says. "Nine times out of 10 I know when I let the ball go if it is going to be a strike or not," he states. Burt has never bowled a perfect game in his lite and he never wants to. "I think bowling a perfect game would spoil future games because every time you throw the ball, you would think it was .go- ing to be a strike and then it would be frustrating when it wasnt't," he explains. Burt is a very energetic bowler. He bowls in Goderich one night a week, is a spare on a travelling bowling team in Clin- ton and teaches children how to bowl on the weekends. After 23 years, Burt has developed a few bowling hints that may. help the novice bowler. "People feel that the harder they throw the ball, the more pins they'll knock down. I know from experience that this isn't the case. Guys who throw the ball hard have decent averages, but if they slowed the ball down, they would find their scores would improve," Burt says. Burt feels that there are a number of variables in bowling - including the weather. "In the winter when it is cold outside, in some alleys the pins are cold and the pin fall is terrible. When it is humid, the pins Berzerko Buddies continue to lead Farmer's League FARMERS LEAGUE The Berzerko's took an impressive 22 out of a possible 30 pts. over the Huronia Hustlers with combinations of individual wins to help for total points.

Midget girls reach consolation final in Huron -Perth tournament it has been a long and frustrating season for the Midget Girls basketball team. Building a team from scratch is tough but when you have 15 girls who are willing and able to lear, it makes the building process easter. After a successful start, winning the first three games, the Vikes ran into stiff com- petition and lost six in a row. However, one bright spot during that los- ing streak was the team's first tournament in Stratford. The girls played well in both games, losing the first to a strong Catholic Central team 50-25 and the second, 54-41 in a hard-fought battle against Stratford Nor- thwestern. Top scorers in the tournament were Juli Melick with 26 points while Teresa Brindly with nine, Teresa Meriam, eight, Shelley Adams, six, Beth MacDonald and Kara Gower , four each and Kim Edward with two points rounded out the soring. Each team shoots f ,r one ultimate goal - the Huron -Perth charnpionship-and Goderich's chance carne on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Stratford Northwestern. The Vikings lost the first game 40-18 to the Mitchell Blue Devils. Melick and Meriatn had four points each while Ed- ward. Brindley. Adams and Kathy Lomas 4 all chipped in with two points. The Vikings next game was a c•rc,wd- pleaser as Goderich and i.tstowell were tied at 55 after regulation time but the Vik- ings pulled out a 61-60 victory after the three-minute overtime. Meriam led the team with a career high 27 points while Adams added 12 points. The win boosted Goderich into the con- solation final against the Madill Mustangs from Wingham. The game was again decided in the final minutes. Defense was the key in the game as the Vikings displayed their ability to shut down many of Wingham's best shooters. A total team effort resulted in the consola- tion charnpionshion for the Vikings. Melick again led the offense with 23 points while Adams chipped in with 12. Meriam had seven points for the winners and Brindley with four points, MacDonald with three and Angie Larder and Edward with two apiece rounded out the scoring.

Personally, he prefers the free standing wooden pins to the string held plastic pins. Burt is now preparing for the Colt 45 tournament in Clinton next week. He hopes to do well as there is a chance he could win up to $10,000.
