I didn't get to see the 'A' or
'B' games two weeks ago, but
I can at least give you the
scores. The 'B' game against
St. Columban was a loss; 3 - 0.
The 'A' game against the
London Lions was a winner
by a sharp 4 - 1. The goals
being shared two apiece by
"The Big H", Harold Ref-
flinghaus and one of our
"rookie" members, Lee
Arbour.
Now, I must tell you a little
bit about Lee; he's fast
becoming quite theac-
complished soccer player and
he's a definite asset to the
team. One very noticeable
trait tbat you can easily and
swiftly identify him by on the
field is the unique way he
runs. His legs are in constant
motidn, even if the rest of him
isn't!! The bottom half of him
is always a blur, he travels
that quickly... quite
reminiscent of the
Roadrunner; and so I've
decided to dub him ;a x eep . up! And, as I've said, , the

Mame!!)... , --The other ...Cup game°w•as
The two more recent games for the Second Divisioq and it
top, was a bummer! The 'A'
team were pitted against
Oakridge and they're a
determined, tough bunch!
We lost this one in the last
30 seconds (yes... believe it),
both Cup games los; in the
last minute!) and it'was the
only goal of the entire game..,
tnat's what a hard-fought
match it turned out to be!
United played defensive
soccer to Oakridge's of-
fensive overtures and it was a
constant grind from begin-
ning to end. Mind you,
Goderich tried mighty, hard to
produce key plays to their
advantage in a bid to trigger
the balance and gain United
some territory and
maneuvering space. Uh-Uh!
Oakridge wasn't havin' any:..
we couldn't charm them or,
harm them! They were slick
and solid... their defense line
wasn't sloppy and the offense,
although skilled, were
lacking in•subtlety and that's
where United maintained the
garne's stalemate.
were both Cup Games, not
regular League games; and
thank goodness 'cause we lost
'em both! The 'B' team
played on Saturday against
the Yugoslays for the 3rd
Division Cup and the score -
was a close 4-3. The op-
position scored in the last
minute to break a tie game
(the dirty dogs!)
But the United guys, I hear,
played a tight, unified game
and held up their territory
with dogged. persistence. In
the first half, the Yugoslays
were leading 3-1 and
Goderich's only goal was
Scored by "Ready Jeddy" De
Jbng.
During the second half,
United kept a good grip on
the action and whipped in two
additional goals to tie up•the
play. John Gottschalk "The
Foot", scored from a penalty
kick and Chris Wood tied 'er

Bowlers nip builders 2-1
Little Bowl grabbed two
runs in the top of the first
inning and John Crawford
came on to pitch four shutout
innings and preserve.a 2-1 win
over Fisher Builders in
Industrial League action
recently. The Builders
managed one run off Bowler
starter Mark Dauphin but
Crawford held on for the win.
Charlie Crawford started
the game off with a single and
scored when Glen Falkiner"
drilled a one out double. Bill
Black singled to score
Faikiner and the winning run
before Fred Pellow could end
the rally.
'Denis LeBrun got the
Builders back in the game
when he led off the second
with a walk'. A pass ball
moved him to second and an
error on John Hoy's .shit
allowed him to score.
The game turned into a
classic pitching struggle
across the final five innings.
Dauphin got the Builders

inning and Crawford came on
in relief and pitched a four
hitter across the final four
innings for the • win. The
Builders left a man on base in
the fourth and sixth innings.
Our offense, unlike` the
opposition, is strongly subtle
and broke through their zone
time and again to repeatedly
take shots on the goal to no
avail. It wasn't for lack of
trying that we didn't score or
that the Goalie was that
terrific.,: it was just the fact
that United's shots were too
busy "kissing" the goalposts
and crossbar to land in the
net! We would've settled for a
little less'touchiness" and a
bit more "touchdown"
(football is football!)
But after the second" half
ground agonizingly and
slowly by, second by second,
and . still we weren't suc-
ceeding in breaking the
scoreless tie, the teats
became ragged and fatigued. •
The ball began to be "booted"
Pellow . bore down and Pr
pitched six` innings of shutout
ball giving up just five hits.
He fanned Rob Snell in the
sixth when he got behind and ,
left two men on base with -one
out. The out was Dave Pat-
terson who also fanned.
Pellow sent seven Bowlers
back to the bench.

instead of being passed up
and along. When this, didn't
gain, anyone anything, it was
an unspokap agreement
among the guys to "class it

valiant try. Unfortunately,

It was a -good game... not a
great .one bot a steady game
in terms of team effort and
constant playmaking.
"Player -of -the -day" is,
"The Big Boot" Rolf Gott-
schalk, alias, "Mighty
Mouth". He was super -
terrific, as usual... it's all in a
day's work for this big fella!
"The Sly Fox" goes to Mike
Klijn who was at his best
makings and shaping the
plays. Hooray! for the
"Flying Dutchman"! A
"Foxy Special" for Larry
Donnelly "the Bronze Body"
who is one sharp defenseman
and keeps a cool head under
fire. Also, a "Foxy Special"
for Pete Teichert. "The
Shadow" has real substance
out there during his play. He
hits 'em hard but quiet!
And now it's time for
another "Rowdy Rooter"
award... you know the one for
the fan with the loudest
mouth? Well, this fan not
only had the loudest, but the
longest -running commentary
on record! Talk about your
non-stop dialogue! And it was
one of our very own players
(they're the worst kind!) -...
injured, of course, from a
previous game. (I wonder
why??)
Congratulations, Tony "full
of baloney" Mennen!! You
proved that you know your
soccer... inside, . outside,
offside and sideline!! Also, a
special mention for "Boogie.
Boots" who ran a close
"second"?!
