Grid season toda y starts The football clubs at South Huron District High School start the Huron-Perth Conference football season on their home field this afternoon, Thursday as they play hosts to the junior and senior teams from Wingham. In an exhibition doubleheader in Strathroy Saturday, the local Panther clubs broke even. The juniors under the guidance of Doug Ellison and Jack Riddell blanked Strathroy 41-0 while Ron Bogart's senior boys were blanked 14-0. Thursday, the seniors lost to Sarnia Collegiate Institute by a score of 39-1. Juniors dominate The South Huron juniors had little trouble subduing Strathroy as they made good use of an attack that gained a total of 335 yards while the opposition could only pick up an even forty yards. Gerard Charrette and Wayne Regier were the top scorers for the junior Panthers each scoring a pair of touchdowns. Charrette's TD's came on pass and run plays from quarterback Perry Stover for gains of 50 and 75 yards. Regier scored his majors on runs of one and twelve yards. The other South Huron touchdowns were gained by quarterback Perry Stover on a 13 yard run and Dave Cyr on a gallop of 14 yards. Peter Kleinstiver kicked converts while the other two points came on a convert pass from Perry Stover to Pius Dietrich. Dave Cyr was the top rusher with 81 yards in ten attempts. Stover picked up 56 yards in six tried and Wayne Reiger carried eight times, good for 61 yards. Peter Kleinstiver was named the top lineman with honorable mention going to Rick Grenier, Gerald Weido, Gary MacLean and Allan Knight. The best backfielder award went to Wayne Regier with Perry Stover, GerardCharrette andJohn Muller following in that order. Feeble offence The South Huron senior attack in Strathroy was very inept with the only sustained drive all afternoon lasting for only eight plays. Quarterback Murray Glanville was able to complete three of fourteen pass attempts. Al MacLean caught two passes good for 46 yards while Larry Bourne nabbed the other for a 27 yard gain. The total South Huron offence was good for 242 yards with the help of 70 yards in penalties. Locals outplayed The South Huron Panthers played Sarnia S.C.I.T.'s last Thursday and went down to defeat by the score of 39-1. The locals were outplayed throughout the contest and only managed a single point by punter Randy Decker. Sarnia scored all six touchdowns on runs, four in the first half and two in the final half. Tom Gartshore led the onslaught with three major scores; Pierre Suizie recorded two touchdowns and Randy Martin added a single marker. Quarterbacks John Cahill and Frank Stewart called a good game and constantly ran over the Panther defence. Kicker Rick Bettridge added three of the six converts. Fumbles came fast and often, with both clubs losing four and numerous others were regained by the offensive squad. Sarnia picked off two errant Murray Glanville passes. Dufferin Maple Leafs ousted the Exeter Legion. It is not expected that the winner of the "B' series will challenge the Dufferin club in further play. Come from behind The Kinsmen literally came from behind in the fourth game of the series to post the 17-14 decision. After the Hawks had completed their turn at the plate in the second inning they were leading 13-0 and it looked as if they had the "B" championship wrapped uR. The KinSmen scored once in the second inning, came bouncing back with a nine run splurge in the third, added a half dozen more in the sixth and nabbed an insurance marker in the sixth frame. The ten run Hawk uprising in the first inning was led by two singles each from the bats of Greg Revington and Larry Haugh. Others chipping in with singles were Al McLean, Bill Farquhar and Bob Baynham. In the second, two Kin errors and singles delivered by Baynham and McLean brought in the next three Hawk runners. Greg Revington reached base on an error in the third and scored the final Hawk marker without the aid of a hit. Ron Anderson crossed the plate with the opening Kin run in the second. In the third, Jim Russell slashed a double and triple to produce a good share of the nine Kinsmen runs. Others contributing to the rally were Craig Davidson with a double and singles by George Pratt and Bob Callingham. In the fifth, George Pratt led off with a home run while Davidson tripled and singles were added by Jim Russell, Ron Dumoulin and John Cross. The final Kin run came on Pratt's second straight home run. John Cross was the winning pitcher for the Kinsmen while Greg Revington took the loss for the Hawks. w USBORNE TOWNSHIP CHAMPS — The boys' softball team from Hurondale recently won the Usborne Township bantam championship.

The Baltimore Orioles and Cincinatti Reds have already clinched a place in the pre-season playoffs while the Minnesota Twins have a comfortable lead in the American west and should clinch within the next week. The only real battle pops up in the National east where the New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs all are in contention, Fergie Jenkins should be a busy fellow in the last couple of weeks in the schedule. Fergie, a Chatham native has already won twenty games for the Cubs, the fourth consecutive year he has been a twenty game winner. Jenkins, the top Cub hurler will probably be used quite often as a relief hurler in addition to getting his regular turn as Chicago manager Leo Durocher pulls out all the stops to bring home the pennant. This isn't a very pleasing subject with us right now, but we feel something should be said about our favorites, the Detroit Tigers. During the first half of the season, Detroit manager Mayo Smith kept saying the Baltimore Orioles couldn't possibly do what they did in 1969. In the second half of the season, it no longer mattered what Mayo said because the Tigers broke down like the old jalopies used to while the Orioles kept rolling right along. The Baltimore club clinched the pennant of the eastern division on September 13 of 1969. This year it took them four days longer but the Tigers were not within calling distance on either occasion. It now becomes quite clear that our Tigers face a big rebuilding job. They appear to be old at some positions, very, very weak at others and are suffering from disintegrated pitching. The pitching staff started to fall apart around the first of July when Denny McLain returned and has completely collapsed since the last suspension of McLain. It's easy to connect the pitching miseries with the departure of Tiger pitching coach Johnny SaM. Before joining the Detroit staff SaM was responsible for the great performances turned in by New York Yankee hurlers and other clubs he had handled. Good pitching staffs- have always followed Sain around wherever he has gone in recent years. He is now with the Chicago White Sox and will no doubt give them a lot of help. New resident We received a letter last week from the North American Profes,sionaI„Soccer Association in Port Huron that a top notch soccer player is now a resident of this. area. Dave Silcock and his wife Jane moved to Exeter recently and live on Main Street south. Mrs. Silcock is a teacher at Usborne Central school. Dave is an ex-Welsh International and Under "21" team captain who has played professional soccer in Britain and the United States. In England he played with Preston North End and Wrexham of the Football league and while in the United States he has been with the Detroit Cougars and the Michigan Flyers and also represented the North American Professional Soccer League's All Star team on several occasions. Teaching golfers An open golf tournament for all public, separate and secondary school teachers in the counties of Huron and Perth will be held at the Oakwood Golf Course at Grand Bend on Saturday, October 3. Tee-off time will be ten o'clock in the morning and numerous prizes will be given in addition to awards to the top-golfers of the day. Prizes will go to the longest drive on the fifth hole, the closest shot to the pin on the tenth, a birdie score on a hidden hole and the most birdies of the day. The best golfer of the day will receive a trophy from Labatt's. Any teacher in the area wishing to compete should contact John .McCarroll at the Huron-Perth. Separate School office in Seaforth by September 25. Tigers to practice The first workout of the Crediton Tigers for this season will be held Sunday night at nine o'clock at the Huron Park arena. The Tigers will again compete in Western Ontario Athletic Association Intermediate "C" ranks and any players in the district will be more than welcome at the first practice. Another puzzler A couple of weeks ago we listed a tricky baseball rules question that brought a few questions and comments from our readers. We now have another one that is interesting. It goes as follows: The double play takeout rule poses some fancy problems. Take this hypothetical one, which has caused considerable speculation among rules experts: Detroit sets out to break a 3-3 tie with Baltimore in the fourth inning at Tiger Stadium when Mickey Stanley is walked and a line single by Jim Northrup advances Stanley to third base, Willie Horton, next up, slams out a grounder. Baltimore shortstop Mark Belanger comes up with the ball arid flips it to Dave Johnson at second for a force play. The Tiger runner from first deliberately charges into Johnson to break up a double play. Just before he and Johnson go down in a tangle, Stanley touches home plate. As the base runner clearly went out of his way to clash with Johnson, the base umpire rules interference and calls both the runner and the batter out. But, what about Stanley? If you were plate umpire, would you permit him to score or order him back to third base? Let's keep you in suspense until next week for the answer.
