It was the second time this season that Exeter has gone under so badly in Ausable district soccer. The last club to give the Centennials such a rough handling was Grand Bend Colonials, who also beat them 7-1 in late May. Exeter's only goal was a header from centre-forward Martin DeBruyn at 20 minutes, when West Williams was already two up on goals scored at 10 and 11 minutes of the first half. Then, one minute later, West Williams began pushing the lead up again when Nick Coates singled in a beautifully sliced shot. Coates' single was one of three solo efforts by West Williams' players. Individual goals were also scored by Paul Kramer and Matt Richards. West Williams' remaining goals were doubled affairs by President wins Ironwood event The Dashwood Tigers will need to come up with two winning efforts this weekend if they hope to continue in Ontario Baseball association playoffs.

The second game of the best-of-three series will be played in Dashwood Friday night. Game time is set for 8:30 p.m. If the Tigers come back to their previous playoff standard of play and win Friday, the third and deciding game will be played Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m., also in Dashwood.

Dave Michielsen and Don Van Massenhaven. The Centennials were hardly ever in the match, with West Williams playing an overpowering game of ball-seeking and an- ticipation. But, in a losing cause, fullback Tony Markus Was easily the outstanding player for Exeter, His work was exceptional. The Centennials last league game for the year is against Forest. Time for the meeting is 4 p.m., Sunday, September 16 at Canner's field. Divisional play-offs will begin the following Sunday after final standings are known. Sports Spotlight By ROSS HAUGH Here we are again at one of the several times during the year when a variety of sports are battling for atten- tion. On the local front, baseball is still in full swing on a couple of froi, ts. The Exeter Saveway team is in the Southwestern Fastball Association finals and the Dashwood Tigers are in the OBA Senior 'D' semi- finals, The Tigers after four straight wins in the first two playoff rounds came up a little flat Sunday afternoon and lost 6-3 to Woodslee. A Tiger official told us Sunday's game was one of their worst outings in a couple of months. The Dashwood club has a reputation of being able to bounce back so local fans should be in for lots of ex- citing action this coming weekend. The second game of the series with Woodslee will be played in Dashwood Friday night at 8:30 p.m. If the weather comes up wet or cold the game will be rescheduled to Saturday at 4 p.m. While the Tigers lost Sunday's game, they did come up a winner in one department. Manager Joe Fulop won the flip of the coin. If a third game is necessary it will go in Dashwood Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. On the subject of football, the two teams at South District High School are busily engaged in pre-season practice. The two SHDHS teams will be meeting Sir Arthur Voaden clubs of St. Thomas in exhibition play this Fri- day at the local school grounds. The Exeter Hawks will soon be back on the Junior 'D' ice lanes. Manager Fred Mommersteeg has called the first practice for Sunday, September 23 at the Huron Park arena. Coach Ron Bogart faces quite a rebuilding chore with the Hawks. Seven regulars from last year's club will be missing because of overage. The Lucan-Ilderton Jets started their practice sessions Monday night and these will continue September 12, 13, 17 and 19. Some slight changes have taken place in the Jets organization but the cast is about the same. Pete Loveless has moved from coach to managerial position and it's expected Bill White will end his playing career to take over the coaching duties. Don Urbshott, the team manager since its incep- tion will continue to be involved as the Jets contact with the OHA. Club president for the new season is Birr area dairy farmer Ernie Dobbinson. The first league home game for the Jets at the Ilder- ton arena will be Sunday, October 7 with Woodstock supplying the opposition. Manager Pete Loveless told us Friday he expected most of last year's team back with the exception of Bill White. He added, "What we really need is a top notch goal tender." Two other Lucan teams have also made practice plans. Prospects for the Lucan Irish junior 'ID' club will get their first workout on September 17 at 9:15 p.m. The Lucan entry in OHA intermediate `D' ranks, the May's Truckers will test their talents for the first time September 20 at 9 p.m. Pros mixed, too Professional sports are also mixed up. In Canadian football it appears that the Montreal Allouettes should have little trouble in retaining their Eastern supremacy. The toughest outcome to predict will be whether the Toronto Argos or Hamilton Tiger Cats will finish in last place. The Argos started out as if theywere some what transformed, but in recent games have fallen back to their unusual ineptness. As far as the Ticats are concerned, Harold Ballard's influence seems to affect the footballers the same way as the hockey Leafs. In the west, the Saskatchewan Rough Riders, once a power in their division remain winless under new coach Ron Lancaster. This could prompt a remark such as "quarterbacks don't make good coaches". The other example would be Ottawa star signal caller Russ Jackson who failed miserably as coach of the Toronto Argonauts. Jackson has shown as a CBC commentator that he has the necessary knowledge, but he probably lacked the ability to get it across to his players and give them the proper motivation. Lancaster appears to have the same problem. Plaus- ible excuses for Jackson and Lancaster are that they don't have the personnel to mould a winner. That is probably correct in Jackson's situation. Following coaches including Leo Cahill and Forrest Gregg have failed to move the Argos. Expos fighting The Montreal Expos continue to hang tough in their quest to win the National league eastern division title. The Expos under new manager Dick Williams have won 11 of their last 12 games and are only one game behind the Pittsburgh Pirates but have six games in hand. Theoretically, if the Expos can win all six of their extra games they would be in front by a full two games. The Pirates have two more losses in that very important column, Crowds at Olympic Stadium in Montreal have been increasing along with the rise of the Expos and will make 1979 the best year in attendance in the 11 year ex- istence of the club. One of the big reasons for the success of the Expos was their willingness to part with goodly sums of money to come up with championship calibre players. Although the Toronto Blue Jays have refused to play the free agent market, it must be remembered they are eight years behind the Expos as far as age is con- cerned. With the recent continuous discontent shown by some of the players and their accompanying poor play, it's apparent that manager Roy Hartsfield must go. Blue Jays attendance has dropped considerably and will likely continue to do so until the team's for- tunes improve, test in Woodslee or Dash- wood the following weekend, In Sunday's game Woodslee jumped into a 2-0 first inning lead and were never headed as they touched Tiger starter John Bruijns for nine hits in four and one-third innings, With one out in the Woodslee fifth after four straight hits, Perry Stover was summoned from the Tiger bull pen. Stover gave up a single to the second batter he faced and then shut-off the op- position until a lead-off single in the eighth. He was able to get the next three batters in order, two on strikeouts. While the Tigers managed to get eight hits, most of their rallies were throttled by four Woodslee double plays. Barry Baynham opened the game for Dashwood with a single, but was erased as Dave Parsons bunted into a double play. In the Dashwood second with one out, Jim Dietrich walked and Rob Dickey singled, but, they were left stranded. Jim Guenther put his club on the scoreboard with a long home run leading off in the fourth. Second win for Holtzmann Dave Holtzmann was the low gross winner in the Ironwood men's night 'A' flight for the second con- secutive week. Holtzmann fired a 38. Wayne Pearce recorded the best net at 34. In 'B' flight Scott Burton's 40 was the low score and Red Fairley at 31 won low net. In 'C' flight John Morgan at 45 was the low gross winner and Jon Gaiser was next with a 48. Taking low net honours were Norm Whiting and Gerry MacLean with scores of 34 and 36, respectively. " Scott Bryce shot a 41 to top the 'D' flight participants in low gross and the low net winner was Larry Mason with a 30. Top spot in the juvenile division was shared by Steve Pearce and Wayne Parsons with identical scores of 39. The prize for a shot closest to the hole from the fourth tee was won by John Morgan. He missed by 56 centimetres. In the same inning, Dietrich and Dickey reached first and second, respec- tively in the same fashion as they did in the second frame; again they failed to score. The rally ended when the Woodslee left fielder robbed Glen Thurman of a base hit. Double plays snuffed out Dashwood efforts to score in the sixth and seventh in- nings, The Tigers scored two runs in the eighth before another twin killing was pulled off. With one out, Perry Stover walked, Jim Dietrich doubled and Rob Dickey delivered his third single of the day to produce the two runs. The other Dashwood hit was a single from the bat of John Hayter in the seventh, B ell, Kyle Kippen best Jack Bell and Al Kyle each fired scores of 25 to lead the 23 competitors at the Kippen gun club, Sunday. Tied for runner-up position with identical scores of 24 were Dan Crerar, Allan Bell and Bryan Beer. Deadlocked with 23 each were Brad Mann, Calvin Christie, Bob Caldwell and Jamie Caldwell. Next at 22 were Terry Caldwell, Jim Preszcator and Ray Ingram. Al Crerar hit 20, Bill Preszcator 19 and Lorne Passmore and Todd Caldwel118 apiece. Completing the scores were Don Littleton 17. Wayne McBride 16, Eudora Caldwell, Linda Bell and Bryan Baker 15.
