SPORTS SCENE
by Ding
Congratulations are extended to the St. Columban
Soccer team as they clinched firet place in the
second division of the London and District Soccer
League by virtue of their scoreless draw with
London Roma in last Sunday's home game at the
High School grounds. 'the title allows the Big
Green to move into the 1st division next season
where they will face much stronger competition.
The Bt. Columban team 'have provided local sports
fans with great entertainment and have now proven
to their fans and themselves that they belong in the
stronger league. It has taken several years of hard
work and lots of determination to get them to the
top; s o don't be surprised if, within a couple of
seasons, St. Columban becomes the 1st division
champions.
Baseball has concluded for another season as
the Baltimore Orioles have emerged as World
Champions. My forecast.of the Cincinnati Reds
winning in six games was completely wrong as
Baltimore proved the stronger of the two teams
winning the series in five games. I have a little
consolation, however, in knowing that I at least
picked the league champions in each division and
the two team s that would meet in the World Series.
The local ball scene has also completed it s
season and winds up with a banquet this Friday
night for all the Industrial League players.
With the Canadian Football league fast drawing
to a conclusion, it looks like a real head on battle
for the Eastern Conference title as three teams are
currently tied for first place. Toronto, I feel; will
eventually emerge as league champs but will los e
out to the Hamilton Ti-Cats in the playoffs for
the right to represent the East in the Grey Cup.
Saskatchewan will playoff with Edmonton in the
Western finals with the Rough Riders emerging
as victors. Then -the Saskatchewan team will
edge out the Ti-Cats to take the .Grey Cup west
'and reign as Canadian Football Champs for this
year.
While I'm making predictions I suppose that
It's time to suggest the final standings of this
year's National Hockey League. Without going
into detail or giving reasons I feel they'll end
this way and go out on a limb and predict as
follows:
Eastern Division Western Division
Boston 1st Chicago
New York 2nd Minnesota
Montreal 3rd St. Louis
Detroit 4th Pittsburgh
Buffalo 5th Philadelphia
Toronto 6th Oakland
Vancouver 7th LoS Angeles
This will result in Boston and Chicago meeting
after the playoffs with Boston emerging as Stanley ,
Cup Champions for the second consecutive season.
Turning back to the local scene, it's disap-
pointing to hear so many people complain that
winter is here so there's nothing to do until
spring. Seaforth offers many outlets for winter
sport fans. We can always start with Hockey
right from mite to intermediate which is always
good for an evening's entertainment. Then, of
ictielrete there's Curling right- across the road",
although this isn't considered a spectator sport
it is one which everyone can participate in. Back
to the Arena, the ladies are suggesting a Broom-
ball league, Industrial hockey for the more ener-
getic men. Then, of course, there's always skiing,
sno-Wmobiling or sleigh riding for the outdoorsmen.
If you prefer indoor activity there's five pin bowling
at one of the-best bowling alleys in Huron County.
The square dance club always welcomes new mem-
bers. The Legion has a bingo every Friday evening.
I'm sure there's plenty more so no matter what
type of activity you prefer, Seaforth or its immed-
iate area has it to offer, but if not, then it's time
to push the Recreation Committee and start the
fe
activity of your choice. So don't complain there's
nothing to do, justget out and do it.

"I owe the government so much
money they don't know whether
to' thrdw me in jail or recognize
me as a foreign power."
LOTS OF ACTION
There was. plenty of action' in the Soccer game on Sunday resulting in many close calls
such as the one above when St. Columban almost scored but in the end the score read 0 - 0.
The one point for a tie , however, was all St. Columban needed to clinch the League Champion-
ship and thereby earn a place in the first division for next year. (Staff Photo)•
Bob Young of St. Columban and an unidentified Roma player seem to be doing calisthenics
during the game on Sunday. The real object of the exercise, however, is the ball in front
of the two ' men. The game, which was played to a scoreless tie, attracted a large crowd in
perfect football weather to see St. Columban clinch the league championship. (Staff Photo)
St. Columban Wins
Western Section
St. Columban came up with
a win and a tie in two weekend
games to clinch first place in
the Western Section of the Sec-
ond Division in the London and
District Soccer League.
St. Columban now have a rec-
ord of 13 wins, 2 losses and 2
ties for 28 points with one game
to play. London Roma have 25
points with one game to play
and' Scoitish have 23 points with
two games to play, so even if
these teams win their remain-
ing games and St. Columban lose
their game, they can't match the
28 point total St. Columban
has amassed. On Saturday, Oct-

ober 24th St. Columban will com-
plete their schedule with a game
against London Scottish, in Lon-
don with kick-off at 3:00 p.m.
St. Columban continued their
winning ways when they shut
out St. Marys 1 - 0 in a Lon-
don and District Soccer League
game played in St. Marys on
Saturday. St. Marys won the toss
and elected to play -with the
wind in the first half and this
kept the play very even until
half-time with a 0 - 0 tie the
result. St. Marys had a great
scoring chance mid-way through
the half when St. Columban goalie
Paul O'Reilly dame out of the
goal to get a loose ball and a
St. Marys player fired the ball
a t the open St. Columban goal,
but full-back Ron McClure
cleared it out of the goal-mouth
just inches from the goal line.
In the second half St. Columban
pressed to the attack and kept
constant pressure 4 on the Si.-
Marys defence. Finally after
many good chances, St. Colum-
ban did score mid-way through
the half. Gerald Ryan carried
the ball in on the left wing,
passed to Brian Melady who gave
it to Torn Love and Tom fired
it into the top left corner of the
St. Marys net. St. Columban con-
trolled the play but couldn't add
to their total as the St. Mary's
goalie made many fine saves,
making the final score St. Coium -
ban - 1, St. Marys - 0. Paul
O'Reilly played his usual fine
game in' recording the shut-out.
ST. COLUMBAN-0 ROMA-0
St. Columban and London
Roma battled to a 0 - 0 tie in
a London and District Soccer
League game played in Seaforth
on Sunday afternoon. The game,
played before the largest crowd
of the season, was particularly
rewarding for the St. Columban
team as the one point picked up
by the tie game, gave the local
squad the league title and pro-
motion to the London and Dist-
rict 1st Division for next year.
The game was very exciting
through-out with many scoring
chances at both ends but the
work of the goal-tenders kept
the game scoreless. The high-
light of the game came in the
final minute of play. A Roma
player fired a hard shot that hit
Brian Melady on the arm result-
ing in a penalty shot. Roma
rightwinger Marto Toso took the
shot and fired the ball for the
bottom right corner but goalie
Paul O'Reilly came up with a,
tremendous save to keep the game
tied and give St. Columban the
championship.' Goalie O'Reilly
recorded his second shutout of
the weekend the . sixth in the
17 league games played so far,
allowing 19 goals while St. Col-
umban have scored 55. Opposing
teams have had 17 penalty shots
this year and have only scored
6 goals on goalie O'Reilly which
is a good way of showing. how
valuable he has been to the St.
Columban championship drive.
By comparison, St. Columban
have had only one penalty shot
called in their favour and have
scorecnon. it.
