The Penetanguishene Junior Kings are still on top of the heap, and if their performance against Parry Sound on Friday night is any in- dication, they may be on top all the way. The Kings out-skated, out-checked, out-shot and out-witted the frustrated Parry Sound club, and they finished with a convincing 6-3 win. The Kings actually got off to a slow start, and they allowed Parry Sound to score first. That goal came at 18:34 of the opening period. The Kings were one man short at the time. The Kings came into the second period skating and hitting like winners, and it didn't take them long to get on the scoreboard.

The Kings, on the other hand, had little trouble penetrating the Parry Sound defence, but they did have trouble beating the steady goal- tending of Larry Burn- side. Burnside played ex- eolontly staying on his feet whenever possible, and making some great saves all through the game. He was the only reason the score didn't go much higher than it did. The Kings Paul Robillard got his second goal of the night at 10:08 of the final period. He scored while Parry Sound was short-handed, and made the score 6-2. Parry Sound, obviously fighting a losing battle against the powerful Kings, were valiant to the end, and they scored the last goal of the game at 6:33 of the period. Dan Beagan was credited with that goal. Unfortunately for Parry Sound, it was a classic case of too-little- too-late, and the Penetanguishene Kings-- well out of their mid- season slump--are still on top of the heap.

Sunday, Midland lost a Some prefer to suffer by Dave Fuller People are moved to do strange things sometimes. They go off on wild adventures, push themselves beyond their abilities and wind up getting into some difficult situations. But, with perserverance, determination and a little luck they come through as heroes and the world smiles on them. They've tilted at windmills and gotten away with it. Sounds gallant doesn't it? Don't you believe it. There are those of us who would gladly have suffered a minor blow to our pride and declined the call to adventure. Oh, would that I were among those so wise. I received the call to adventure Saturday, as I passed through Barrie on my way to visit the big city and if I had ignored it when I had the chance I'd be able to walk properly and not wince when forced to break into anything quicker than a relective amble. The Barrie Kinsmen held their fourth annual Ski-a- thon for Cystic Fibrosis at Molson Park on the weekend and it just so happened that a group of friends in the media were planning to enter a team. As I entered the newsroom and overheard their plans for the 25-mile cross-country ski journey, my head started to reel, my pulse quickened and my eyes rolled about in my head. Here was a chance for an adventure. ""Ah-ha", I said as I leapt upon the scene, my cape barely concealed under my blossoming ego. "T will join you."' To my horror and surprise, they greeted me with open arms and said it just so happened that there was an extra pair of skis available (some other madman obviously came to his senses in time). I was quickly enrolled as a member of the team and informed of the gathering of the clan to be held the following morning at 7 a.m. After a breakfast of pancakes nine of us set off from the barn at Molson Park on the first leg of a journey that only two would finish. The first five mile jaunt was a nice warm-up and left me eager for more, I was so confident of my ability to go the distance I didn't even cut the course when the majority of skiers around me disappeared down a freshlyt cut trail and headed straight for the first checkpoint. I continued on with my brisk stride, circled the field and wound up at the checkpoint a few minutes behind the others. A quick drink, a dashing wave to the television cameras and I was off again, my pace had slowed a little bit but, I assumed this was nothing more than my finding the right stride and I pressed on. The second stop on the route came up quickly, more because it was closer than because of my speed, and I decided to move out again with no more than a quick chat to my fellow skiers. The true folly of my decision to enter the ski-a-thon finally dawned upon me approximately one mile past the third checkpoint where I didn't even take the time to remove my skis. The mind can play cruel tricks on the inexperienced and I actually thought it was the wind forcing me to slow my pace to a pathetic shuffle as I gradually came to a halt and collapsed in the middle of the trail. My mind crying out for sleep or food or a trip to Bermuda, I closed my eyes and thought of anything but skiing when, I was roused brusquely by a women who was hell bent on making mea part of the trail. I came to and picked myself up determined fo stop this madness when I reached the next checkpoint. All around me people were moving along with effortless strides, young children who were shuffling their feet and skis faster than I could lift my pole and I continually had to make way for the people I had left in my wake earlier in the day. The oasis appeared another mile along the trail and I was soon drinking hot chocolate and waiting for the bus. But, as I said earlier, people are moved to do strange things sometimes and as the thoughts of failure jabbed at my pride I realized that my old friend Paul Delean was surely already finished his 25 miles and would be waiting to greet me at the end. The thought was more than I could bear and gobbling down a chocolate bar for strength I pushed off again, determined to finish or die in the attempt. _ The final seven miles proved uneventful and I arrived at the tinish a long eight hours after I had started out. My body was much the worse for wear and Paul remarked on the fact that I looked as bad as he had ever seen me. But, I had finished. Whatever else happened to me I could hold my head up and say I did it. Like I said, it sounds gallant, the stuff heroes are made of, a tale to inspire others to greatness. Don't believe it. 1 ache from head to toe. Pewee So tm i am Wednesday, February 1, 1978, Page 13 vsevuwve Te
