Vig The Penetanguishene Chemical Valley Junior "C"" Kings made an impressive debut last Thursday night as they walloped Oro 15-4. Right winger Ross Prentice led the team in goals, picking up five in the second and third periods. He also picked up an assist for a total of six points. Captain Vince DeCola also picked up six points on two goals and four assists, while left winter John St.. Amant netted two and assisted on three for five points. Mark Decourcy picked up Not much news on arena floor Again this week I have very little to report on the construction at the arena. They have begun working again and are still shooting for the first of January asa completion date. Our minor hockey rep teams have now started play in the Georgian Bay League and from all indications have not faired to badly considering their lack of ice time etc. The Chemical Valley Junior Kings also started off on a winning note by severely trouncing Oro. It is hoped that a fair number of people will make the short trip to Elmvale for their home games. I have had some feedback in conjunction with my request about house league soccer in the area. It seems that a number of problems would exist with this type of program but I do think that with a strong number of interested people this type of activity would be suc- cessful. Recreation scene by Ron Marchildon Penetanguishene Recreation Coordinator It seems that the community school programs which had enough people registered to start up are running very well. It is unfortunate that the people in the municipality do not take enough interest in these programs. I have asked on numerous occasions for people to phone in suggestions and comments, but I very rarely receive any. I know there are many people who go out of town to take courses and yet the same courses can be offered in ~ town if only a few people register to take it. It becomes very discouraging on the part of the organizers when only a few of the courses offered actually get off the ground, Your help in making this community school program a success would be appreciated. St. Joseph's School won straight games against Corpus Christi in the finals of the Penetanguishene-Lafontaine Elementary School Touch Football League last week to take the championship. The members of the winning team are (front row, from left to right) Ronald Buttineau, Frank Buttineau, David Robillard (offensive captain), Jerry Ladouceur (defensive 'The champs a hat trick, and the other Penetanguishene goals were scored by Marc Duquette, Aime Gignac and Ken Cowan. Oro stayed within reach throughout the first period, and the Kings led 3-2 at the first in- termission. The Kings went out infront 5-2 early in the second on two short handed goals, but Oro came back with two in a row, and with 9:16 remaining in the second, they found themselves still respectably within one goal. The Kings scored two unanswered goals in the last half of the second, to make it 7 -4 going into the third, and then turned the arena into a_ shooting gallery in, the third period, racking up eight unanswered goals. The shots on goal more or less reflected the scoring, as the Kings outshot Oro 13-12 in the first, 17-12 in the second, and 16-6 in the third, for a total of 46 shots for the Kings, and 30 for Oro. The Kings started with Joe Rankin in goal. Rankin allowed three goals before John Duval replaced him for the second half of the game. The Kings play their second game of the Downs Barrie Central P.S.S. makes The Penetanguishene Secondary School Football team will bake a shot at the Georgian Bay Secondary Schools Junior Football League Championship this Friday. The PzS:S: team defeated Barrie Central 23-7, Monday to earn the right to meet Banting Collegiate in Alliston for the championship. The Barrie team got off to a good start Monday afternoon, as they in- tercepted a pass early in the game and took it in for the score, going out in front 7-0. The P.S.S. team made a big comeback before the end of the first half, though Brent Farquhar and Rick Dorion each scored majors, and by the alf, P.S.S. had gone out in front with a comfortable 15-7 lead. Late in the fourth quarter, P2570; in- tercepted a Barrie pass and staged a touchdown march for their other major of the afternoon. Lloyd Cascagnette took the ball across on that score. Vince Ladouceur was good on all three con- versions, and added two singles throughout the game. Coach Larry Banks said Tuesday the P.S.S. defense came up with a big effort. '"'The defense played probably its most consistent game of the year," he said. He said the team knew they could score on Barrie Central, but wasn't sure the defense could contain the Barrie attack. He pointed out that Peter Dumais picked off two passes, and Frank Hall and Brent Farquhar both played outstanding games on defense. Banks said the P.S.S. team is expecting an extremely tough game Friday. He said Banting captain), Ray Forget, Robert "Bar" Dumais, (middle row, left to right), Charles Robitaille, Maurice Roi, James Grozelle, Ray Hook, Lorne Marcille, Randy Buttineau, (Back row, left to right), Gil Quesnelle, Charles Desroches, Robert Grenier, Marcel Ladonceur, and coach Martin Lalonde.

Ray Forget scored two touch- downs for 12 points, while Frank Buttineau added another touchdown for the other six points. In the second game, played Wednesday at Corpus Christi, St. Joseph's emerged on the winning end of a 13-2 score. David Robillard was again the winning quarterback.

The Kings play again on Sunday afternoon, in Parry Sound. A bus to that game will be leaving the arena at noon. finals arrived in the finals by virtue of its 52-27 victory this week over Barrie North. He said the Banting team obviously has a potent offence, and P.S.S. defense would have to come up with another outstanding effort if P.S.S. is to take the title. Local drivers shutout / in Great Pumpkin auto slalom race Up for the shot Penetanguishene Secondary School's Debbie Tinney goes up for the shot, as Leslie Hems of the Park Street Collegiate Senior Girls basketball team attempts to last Thursday's game at P.S.S. The Penetanguishene girls led throughout, winning the block in game 42-22. in Midland Midland drivers were shut-out of the trophies in Sunday's Great Pumpkin Auto Slalom Race held at the Zeller's parking lot. Hopes for a local win in one of the six classes rested squarely on the shoulders of Gunter Sch- midt driving a Volkswagen Scirocco, and it appeared he had a win all but sealed after burning around the dif- ficult course (usually on three wheels) in a time of 1:44:5. Schmidt was the first to tackle the sometimes confusing course and his time stood as the one to beat for much of the af- ternoon. However, Dick Woudenberg of Toronto started the assault on the mark by flying his Volkswagen dune buggy around the track in a time six-tenths of a second faster than Schmidt's. Ken Craves of Oshawa in a Honda and James Calder of Downsview also topped Schmidt's time. Calder was also driving a scirocco and nosed out Schmidt as winner in the A/P class. The twisting layout resulted in confusion and a number of drivers were disqualified for travelling the wrong way around one of the tight loops in the course. After a number of disqualifications in the first heat, drivers were taken on a walking tour of the layout and in the subsequent two heats most were able to properly navigate the route. Staff photo Calder placed first in the overall standings, Woudenberg was second, Craves third and Schmidt ended up fourth. Bill Isaac of Midland was 16th in a Firebird, two places ahead of Fred Koegler, also of Midland and driving a Bobcat. Hans Neitz in a Cutlass finished in 21st spot. Individual class win- ners were: Ken Craves in the C/S division, Tom Hyland of Angus in the D/S class driving a Datsun, Jud Buchanan of Downsview. driving a Monza in the F/S division, James Calder in the A/P class, John Hansen of Don Mills in the P/M division driving a Cortina and Dick Woudenberg in the 0/M class. Cutting it close Gunter Schmidt of Midland held the lead at the Great Pumpkin Auto Slalom Race for the better part of two heats until Dick Woudenberg set a faster time in his course on three wheels.

Staff photo P.S.S. girls take two of three games from Park Street Girls' basketball teams from _ Penetanguishene Secondary School won two of three games played against Orillia's Park Street Collegiate at P.S.S. last Thursday. The only losers were the midget girls, who went down to defeat 29-18. The Park Street girls led throughout the game, piling up a 15-8 lead by the end of the first half. Gail Kingsley said the problem with the Penetanguishene girls lay in defense. She said the girls had not been playing their correct defensive positions. Cathy Bidan was the high scorer for Penetanguishene, with 10 points, while Nancy Watson scored 14 points for Park Street. It was a different story for the Junior girls, as Barb Fitzgerald picked up 14 points to pace the team to a 54-20 win. Judy Playne was the second highest scorer for P.S.S., with 10 points, and Park Street's Kim Comer scored 12. Kingsley said the victory was made possible partially because of Park Street's man to man defense. She said the P.S.S. girls employed a give-and-go offense to easily get through the Park Street defense. The Senior girls also had a fairly easy game, as they overcame Park Street's seniors 42-22. The high scorers for P.S.S. were Anne Roi with 13. points, and Debbie Tinney, with 10. Leslie Hems was the high scorer for Park with eight. The next game for the P.S.S. teams will be played Thursday af- ternoon, at St. Theresa's in Midland.

Agincourt mancould win Big Fish Contest A muskie taken from Woods Bay in the Moon River area will likely take top prize money in the muskie category of Molson's Big Fish Contest. Mark Kontiainen from Agincourt landed the muskie that tipped the scales at a whopping 54 lbs. 8% oz. The monster was nearly a pound per inch with its length of 58 inches and girth of 29. Mark lured the fish into hitting a Syrim Whizz, a very popular lure among the muskie sgekers. The present record of 69 Ibs. is not really that/far off, and sooner or later is expected to fall.
