Adam Scott Lions came to town Tuesday afternoon with the idea in mind of carrying off their fourth straight Kawartha junior football championship but they left wondering whom the new Kawartha champions would play in the COSSA final today. CDCI East's big red machine, hereinafter referred to as Comets, changed Adam Scott's line of thought by earning a 10-6 victory to end Lions' reign of supremacy and send them home with their tails dragging behind them. CDCI East's eighth straight win of the season was their toughest yet. And for the first time all year, Comets' defence outshone the normally explosive offence.

Steve Douglas and Pascoe supplied singles. Stewart, again did an admirable job as his substitute. In the words of the visitors' coach, Lees and Connor were "exceptional runners." Both surpassed the 100 mark in yardage. Comets came out of the game in good shape. All hands but Blackler are expected to suit up for the COSSA showdown here this afternoon at 2 o'clock against Trenton Tigers. FOOTBALL FACTS -Coaches Bob Schultz and George Brackenbury received the traditional dunking in the showers. For Schultz, it was the culmination of 5 years at the helm. Only a victory today, in what both men say is their final game as the team's coaches, can top it....Comets completed just 2 passes. Gord March suffered the embarrassment of dropping a pair in the clear....These Juniors really have stirred up football fever at the school. Signs posted in the corridors pointed this out. "Adam Scott are doomed," one said. Another was even more explicit. "They (Adam Scott) came, we saw and then we beat the sh~ out of them" ....It's the first-ever Kawartha junior title for CDCI East....They won the Trentway Bus Lines Trophy. The three captains of the Kawartha champion CDCI East Junior Comets hold the Trentway Bus Lines Trophy, emblematic of the Kawartha junior football cham- pionship, after Comets defeated Adam Scott Lions here Tuesday.

The Figure week. Harnden & King Midgets might as well forget about winning hockey games the easy way this season. It just isn't likely to happen. They supplied further evidence to support that prognosis Wednesday night at Bay Ridges, rallying for two goals in the final three minutes to yank out a 3-2 Lakeshore League victory. It was the Cobourg team's second conquest this week by the narrowest of margins, evening their record at 2-2 on the year. Having lost a great deal of their potential scoring power to the Junior Cougars, Harnden & King must play a checking game, wait for the breaks and hope they can capitalize when they come. Most of the dramatics with Bay Ridges were reserved for the final 20 minutes. Following two scoreless periods, captain Doug Choiniere gave Cobourg the lead at the 6:90 mark of the third, flipping a backhand shot over the goalie after Gary Oliver sent him in alone with a pass. Dave Som-merville started the play with a relay to Oliver. Bay Ridges tied the score at 13:29 as Williams stepped out of the penalty box just in time for a breakaway. The home side went ahead at 15:13 when Vanuler stole the puck from Jim Hendry and snapped a quick shot which caught goalie Bob Stevenson unprepared. Chuck Fraser pulled Harnden & King level at 17:07, lifting home Dave Sommerville's rebound. Choiniere's lateral from one point to Sommerville on the other point preceded the goal. Cobourg won it all via a shorthanded goal with just 9 seconds left on the clock. Playing 4 men to 5 (Kim Linton and Jim Gordon were in the penalty box), Choiniere broke up a Bay Ridges three-on-two break with a poke check and fed Gary Oliver who spurted in on the left wing and beat the opposing netminder with a 20-foot ankle high drive to the stick side. Harnden & King held a 42-27 shooting edge in the game but found the Bay Ridges goalie extremely tough to beat. The winners received 8 of the 18 minors assessed. Jon Greer of Cobourg injured his shoulder in the third period. DAVE MARSHALL'S favorite weapon on a hockey rink is a slapshot and here's how he looks when he unloads one of the missiles. Marshall scored once with a "slapper" Tuesday and it gave Trintiy Juveniles a 3-3 tie with St. Andrew's in their Church League game.
