Little sets Viking record
Although they surrendered
their first point of the Huron
Perth Conference football
season, the GUCI senior
Vikings remained un-
defeated, heating Central
Huron Of Clinton. 26-1 in
Clinton last Thursday. The
Vikings record is now four
wins and no losses.
The biggest challenge to the
Vikings dominance of the
Conference will undoubtedly
come today (Thursday) here
against Exeter's South Huron
Panthers who are also un-
thc•.(joderich Viking defence rose to the occasion Thursday
and stopped the Clinton Redmen on this goal line plunge to
keep their recrord of not giving up a major score this season.
Ttie Redmen tried three times from the two year line to get
the ball oyer the line but the Viking defense refused to
budge and on the third attempt forced a fumble which they
recovered. Steve Chase slipped trying to grab a wide field
goal attempt in the first quarter of the game won by
Goderich 26 - 1. The slip resulted in a single, the first point
given up by Goderich this season. (staff photo)

This sweep by the Goderich Junior Vikings got a rough
reception from the Clinton Redmen defense Thursday in
Huron -Perth football action in Clinton. Three Clinton
defenders closed off the play before it gained much and then
unceremoniously slammed this unidentified Goderich
running back obviously unaware of the presence of the
official in the background. No flag was thrown on the play.

Viking Coaches Bill Garrow
and Bruce Baker expressed
satisfaction with the game,
except for the deficiencies in
their pass defence. They hope
td improve this area before
this week's game here
Thursday, when the first
place Exeter Panthers, who
have a strong passing -attack.
are the visitors.
The Viking coaches were
happy with the team
discipline displayed by the
Vikings who picked up only 15
yards in penalties compared
to Clinton's 60 yard total. The
game provided a chance for
the Vikings., to get all their
players ..into the action and
provided valuable experience
for their first year players.
defeated.
When coach Ron Bogart's
Panthers and Ray Donnelly's
Vikings clash some fine
football is bound to result. It
is expected that the Panthers
will attempt to go to the air
against the Vikings, and this
continues to be an area of
concern for Viking coaches
Donnelly and Al Drennan. '
Again, against Clinton, the
Vikings were burned on some
long passes. Along the
ground, however, the Vikings
defence was unbeatable.
They stopped three third -and -
goal situations from their own
one yard line. Defensive back
Mark Frayne and linebacker
Perry Teichert were the
leading Viking defenders.
The Viking offence had
little success in the air,
gaining only eight yards "by
passing. The absence of their
primary receiver, speedy
Dave MacKenzie, out an
injury, showed up in this
department.

Vikings had moregrounU than [it;
"little" success, led�y Randy

This effort was identified by
coach Donnelly as an
"unofficial" Viking record
for yards gained in one game.
'l'he Viking offensive,,, line
blocked well, helping the
Viking backs pile up a total of
407 yards rushing. Dennis
Donnelly also ran well.
The Redmen got their
single point in the first
quarter on a kick by Allan
Young.
The Vikings went ahead to
stay when Little ran 50 yards
off -tackle for their first
touchdown, before the end of
the quarter. Dennis Donnelly
scored on a one -yard dive
play in the second quarter.
Rill Walter's one yard sweep
in the third quarter and Mark
Frayne's 20 yard reverse in
the fourth quarter gave the
Vikings their other touch-
downs: Eric Mitchell kicked
two converts.

period. and McLean notched
his first of twa_goals.sho"rely
after.

the score before the first
period ended. •
In the second period, the
Stangs wept ahead again, this
time on a fine goal by John
Hart only to have Listowel
rebound and tie the game to
end the second period.
The third period was wide
open and many excellent
saves by Clinton goaltender
Dean Ryan saved the Stangs

superb game, picking up
three assists in the Mustang
victory. Listowel outshot
Clinton 40 to 32 overall
through the game.
Last Friday night in the
Mustangs 77-78 home opener,
the Walkerton Black Hawks.

the period to tie the score.

through thesecond, while
John Hart added an in-

enough, in both games they
