HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1980-10-29, Page 10Sports Spotlight By ROSS HAUGH. The World Series is history for another year. Despite the great celebrations andenthusiasm coming out of Philadelphia the 1980 Fall Classic was far from that as far as the calibre of play was concerned. Nobody can take away from the Phillies their great determination and ability to fight back time after time when it appeared they were destined for defeat. The selection of Mike Schmidt as the most valuable player in the World Series could certainly be up for discussion. Fellows like Larry Bowa, Pete Rose and Tug McGraw contributed just as much as Schmidt did. Our nomination for the top award would be Phillies catcher Bob Boone. He did a great job of handling the pitchers and was especially sharp in stopping and blocking pitches in the dirt. The key play in the sixth and final game in our opi- nion came when Pete Rose displayed the hustle he has shown throughout his entire career. Rose was right beside Bob Boone near the stands when the Phillies catcher dropped a pop foul and Rose grabbed it before it hit the ground. The Rose catch made the second out with a couple of Royals on base and squelched a promising rally.

Paul and Perry Pooley are at Ohio State Universi- ty in Columbus, Ohio and Dave Bogart is a member of the Wilfrid Laurier team out of Waterloo. We received a media book this week from Ohio State University and the Pooley's were listed on the roster of 27 players. Of that number 10 others are players from the province of Ontario. We have asked the OSU sports department for a regular report on the outcome of their games and the Exeter boys in particular. A London Free Press report a week ago said Paul and Perry each scored a goal in their first two games at Ohio Satate. The Pooley twins have two years experience in the OHA Junior 'A' while Dave Bogart was with the Strathroy Blades, junior 'B' club last year. The three Exeter youngsters will meet head on this weekend when Wilfrid Laurier University travel to Ohio State for a Friday and Saturday doubleheader. Bogart is one of four regular defencemen on the Wilfrid Laurier team. The team took part this weekend in the annual Guelph-McMaster face-off tour- nament. Laurier defeated the University of Guelph 4-3 Fri- ctay and lost Saturday to McMaster 7-4. The Laurier team has five players that played in OHA Junior 'A' ranks last year. Football Thursday Semi-final playoffs in the Huron-Perth Football. Conference get underway tomorrow afternoon, Thurs- day. Both South Huron teams will have home field ad- vantage for the sudden-death games. The seniors who went through the season un- defeated will meet Stratford Northwestern at 2:45 p.m. The local junior team with only one loss and that was to Goderich will start off the doubleheader at 1 p.m. Field hockey champs Congratulations to coach Jim Workman and the South Huron District High School girls field hockey team. The local girls won the Huron-Perth championship recently and Saturday finished second in WOSSA com- petition. They are off to Toronto this weekend to participate in the all-Ontario championships. Best of luck, girls. These Leafs are flying At the time of year when most leaves are falling to the ground, the Toronto hockey variety, The Maple Leafs are flying high. Pal Hal Ballard has his team off to its best start since the mid-1940's. They won six of their first seven games before losing Saturday night to Los Angeles. There still seems to be some agitation between Ballard and his general manager Punch Imlach but he has harmony among the players. The two big moves by Ballard were making peace with Darryl Sittler and returning him as team captain and signing Borje Salming to a long term contract. While the Leafs are in first place in the overall standings, Ballard is trying to make more deals to im- prove the club further. On CFPL radio Monday night, Ballard said he ex- pected to sign free agent Blaine Stoughton in the next two weeks. When asked about further deals, the Leaf owner said, "I'm working on two other 'hot numbers' and they could be on our side in the very near future." We would guess that one of the two 'hot numbers' would be a goal tender. This is the only spot where they are a little suspect. With 30 year-old rookie Jiri Crka in goal, the Toronto club in their first season games gave up 27 goals, six more than at the same time last year. Professional Mounts in the middle stanza and rapped in three straight, including two more with a man advantage, and then coasted to their triumph.

Exeter enjoyed a slight margin in shots on goal with 28 to the 26 recorded by the visitors against Steve Wells.' The local Hawks also won the penalty race with 17 to the 15 served by Mitchell.
