Cruickshank also
to coach Signal
Star juveniles
Last week the Clinton
Junior C Mustangs an-
,nounced that Doug
Cruickshank of Goderich
would coach the team
along with Dennis Martin
for the 1979-80 season.
Cruickshank will assist
with the Mustang
coaching duties but only
when it doesn't interfere
or conflict with his job as
coach of the Signal -Star
Juveniles.
He has been coaching
the juveniles for several
years and said he had no
intention of abandoning
the team this year.
For the past couple of
seasons the juveniles
have played in the
Shamrock League
competing with teams
from the Mooretown',
Lucan and Strathroy
area. But the team was
informed that the WOAA
has jurisdiction " in this
area and Goderich would
have to compete in the
WOAA.
, Cruickshank would
rather have his team play
in the Shamrock League
and the only way around
it was to move the Signal -
Stars into the A category.
The WOAA has no
jurisdiction over A teams
in this area.
Last year the Goderich
Minor Hockey
Association fought an
order moving its minor
teams from the BB
category to A.

fumble following a Viking

Huskies came on to move
into a 26-6 lead by half
time.
The only Stratford

came when the Vikings
fumbled on their o.vn 15

series after the kickoff.
The Viking defence
improved considerably in
the second half, allowing

lour•th quarters, moving
for six first downs,
gaining 129 yards o.n the

last play of the game on a
seven yard keeper play.
