HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1970-12-10, Page 5SPORTS SCENE by Ding The main excitement in sports this week would have to be the Mohammed All vs Oscar Bonaventa fight which was held in New York last Monday. It was a gruelling struggle between tough hardened fighters and All emerged the victor in the final round with a TKO, The victory left Mohammed Ali undefeated since he turned pro, and it was the zirst time Bonaventa had been knocked out. This sets the stage for a classical fight of undefeated opponents, Mohammed Ali and World Champion Joe Frazier. In no way would I even attempt to predict a winner if this fight is arranged. Even though most fans are tired of Mohammed Ali's big mouth and ridiculous predictions and his efforts to avoid the draft, you have to admit he's a great boxer, and if anyone is about to close his mouth, it could be Joe Frazier. Since last week's column was omitted because of limited space it will follow these short para- graphs. Hockey is b:tgiring to take more attention from sports asn weather gets colder and the National Hockey League continues its strenuous schedule. A bright spot in Junior circles will be the upcoming tournament with Jr. "B" clubs in Toronto to determine an entry to represent Ontario in the first Canadian Jr. "B" tournament to be held liter in Winnipeg. St. Marys of the Southern Jr "B" league will be present along with Petrolia from the Border Cities League. Good luck, "Lines", we hope you emerge victorious and go on to be Ontario's representative. With the second place teams of my previous NHL predictions following below I'll leave the first place finishers, Boston and Chicago, until next week. (Intended for last week) The Cinderella team of Canadian Sport has won a well deserved Grey Cup. The Montreal Alouettes became the first third place team in the history of Canadian football to win a Grey Cup and the first team to rise from a last place finish the previous year to become Canadian Champions. Montreal played an outstanding game and upset the Western representatives and most experts by winning the Cup with a 23 - 10 score. The victory was icing on the cake as Miss Montreal also won the honors as Miss Grey Cup and Quarterback Sonny Wade was chosen as the games outstanding player to provide the Als with a dein sweep. The Als had a total of 23 rookies on the team this year and if the Sophomore jink doesn't hit next season they should be a strong team for many years to come. Since I had picked the West to win it was almost a sure thing to bet for Montreal and John Modeland will agree with that as he had the Lion's ticket with the winning score to become $500 richer. Montreal was also in the headlines in another sport recently as Carl Morton, a 25 year old right-handed pitcher for the Montreal Expos was nailed top rookie in the National Baseball league. Morton won 18 and lost 11 for the last place Expos in 1970 and was the top Expo pitcher. So Its been a real Montreal week. Now if the Canad- ians start to roll Montreal will really become the top sporting centre of Canada. Changing to hockey - this week's teams are the New York Rangers and the St. Louis Blues who will, in my opinion, end the season in second place in their respective divisions. As both these teams are presently in second spot and both challenging for their division leads, it makes it pretty easy to see why they'll end up there. First New York,. who this season should provide the Boston Bruinali thal1100144iithreaLtts-ntere and an more Rg'etle niaigte .tHer ate.* iiieStronger with each game. if Giacomin get a little relief in goal and baring injuries the Rangers have one • of the best balanced teams in either division. With Tkaczuk, Ratelle and Gilbert providing the Rangers main scoring punch and their outstanding performance by their rookies, New York will be a tough team to beat. In the Western Division only the powerful Chicago Black Hawks will beat the Blues as they have proved in the past they are a team to contend with and could easily upset the Hawks for the Western Divison title. The Blues strongest point has to be their tough defense with the Barclay boys and their clutch goal- tending. "Red" Berenson provides the leader- ship that they need and could lead them into the Stanley Cup final for the third straight season. The Beavers again look like they will be the class of their league but with only a three team league and no interlocking games with the northern group, it could be a disappointing season at the gate for the Beavers. So far they have had little difficulty in disposing of their opposition. Minor hockey is now in full swing and it could be a real productive year for the local teams. The Saturday morning hockey, which provides an opportunity for so many youngsters, is again under the sponsorship of the Legion, and any assistance by interested fathers would be greatly appreciated. The recent mild weather has put a damper on most outdoor activities but don't fretisnow buffs. There's plenty more coming.
