November 2, 1f78 Sports Spotlight Great show Congratulations are in, order for -two teams at South Huron District -High School who are competing this weekend in WOSSA'and Ontario championships. The South Huron cross country team is again put- ting the local school on the map. The senior girls team has qualified for the provincial finals being held this Saturday in Scarborough.

Paul will also tit in Scarborough attempting to add an all-Ontario.championship to his laurels. There are two -reasons for the continued success pf the cross country teams at South Huron. They are the dedication and enthusiasm of the runners and the same or greater dedication and leadership of coaches Joe Fulop and Carey Unich. The other Local team still in contention for further honours is the girls field hockey team guided by coach Jim Workman. They were undefeated in Huron -Perth conference play this season until Saturday when they finished se- cond in the finals QUALIFY FOR FINALS — The South Huron senior girls'cross tountry,.team finished second in the WOSSA finals and will be running in the alt -Ontario finals.

The two Hawks teams battled on even terms. throughout most of Friday night's contest before the Mitchell crew wrapped up the win with four goals in the final period. Good effort The young and possibly some of the not -so young in the police village of Crediton and surrounding areas will be benefiting from recent efforts by two'groups in the community. The Crediton parks board and the volunteer firemen have been putting a lot of hard work into plan- ning and now actually providing a roller skating,and ice skating pad at the rrediton park. Both groups are providing manual and financial assistance to the program which included the erection of a storage, change. rooms and booth building. • The' latest financial drive came to a very successful close Friday night with a Monte Carlo night at the South Huron Rec Centre. Thanks to an elimination draw and'the operation of many 'games of chance, the recreation needs of Crediton and area were enhanced to the tune of almost $3,500. • Jim Smith gave them a 1 - 0lead in the first. but Jamie Caldwell's long shot -from the blueline evened the. count. Ken Pinder picked up the assist. Good reading Sometime ago in this column we talked about a book which was soon to be published and could possibly provide interesting reading. It's the amazing, interesting and almost incredi- ble story of current Detroit Tiger Star Ron LeFlore. _ The life story of LeFlore was originally intended to be called "Breakout — From Prison -to the Big Leagues". - but has been • changed to "One In a • Million". • _. The story is certainly one in a million and we would heartily recommend it not only to sports fans but to anyone interested in humanity. When he was -19 years of age Ron LeFlore's way of life landed him in prison with a term of five to fifteen years facing him. The helplessness and terror he felt there and his'rebirth as a major league ball player are the ingredients of his remarkable story. A paragraph from New York Times Book Review seems to tell it best. "There is no false humility here, no contrived philosophy. it is, simply. a._well .told story of a man who was given a chance to use the skill he never knew he had. In its sparse, unemotional way. it suggests that the old "unfashionable" belief about redemption may have some life after all." Howell top Blue Jay In a race that went down to the final game of the, season. Roy Howell edged out Rick Bosetti by a single point to win the second annual Labatts Most Valuable Player Award for the Toronto Blue Jays for the 1978 season. For his season -long efforts Howell will t•eceive a cheque in the amount of $500. ' The 24 year-old Howell, who was obtained •in a trade with Texas early last year, led the team in hit- ting with his .270 average and was second to John Mayberry in RBI's with 61. after an early season ex- periment which saw Howell play five games in right field. he -returned to his home at third base and played solidly there for the duration of the season. He set -a club record 9 assists for a third baseman in -the second game of a doubleheader against Milwaukee in mid- June. -• Howell. was a' two time winner of the monthly .award leading the field in April and' June as well as finishing in a second place tie with Bosetti in July. He amassed a total of 255 points- to Bosetti's 254. Last season Howell was sixth in the Labatt's voting which is conducted at the conclusion of each BIueJay game by an accredited panelof the Toronto media. Bosetti, the -Blue Jays- flashy centre fielder, was also a two time monthly winner: -topping the list in May .and September. -The 25"year-old Bosetti whose first major league home run was a grand slam. provided Blue Jey fans with many memorable moments over the course"Qf the '78 season lncluding.2 game ending hits at home over Boston and one over the defending champion New York Yankees.
