down their offense.
Saveway started their com-
eback in the top of the second
as Dan Heywood singled,
Brad Marsden doubled and
Willie Lamb singled in two
runs. They narrowed ' the
score to 4-3 in the third inning

cher Brian Hodgins singled in
two runs to win his own game.

PLENTY OF HOPEFULS — Exeter Hawks rookie coach Bob Rowe, right, has several holes to fill on this year's

to date and Rowe is now in the initial stages of cutting the squad down to size. Shown with him are Scott
Pincombe, Paul Johnston, Pete Tuckey and Tony Jones. Johnston and Tuckey are among the handful of returnees.

TECHNICAL DATA
How racing improves the breed
Ever since the early days of In-
dianapolis racing, when the rear
view mirror replaced the riding •
mechanic, motorsports have
served as a "laboratory" for devel-
oping technology applicable to
road cars.
Today, manufacturers routinely
-apply lessons learned on the race
track to make their production Cars
more efficient, responsive and •
safer.
The Robert Bosch(VW Super
Vee series constantly tests the du-
rability engineered into the Sciroc-
co motor by pushing it to 190
horsepower and 8500 rpm.
The Rabbit/Bilstein Cup is a ver-
itable proving ground for the
performance of the VW Rabbit as
well as for Bilstein shocks. In addi-
tion, the tires used on the Rabbit/
Bilstein cars are specially -shaved
Goodyear NCT radials which con-
sistently survive a year's wear -and -
tear in one 60 -mile race. '
In fact, so Impressive is the per-
formance of these street tires -that
A.J. Foyt accurately described
them as "Better than the race tires
we ran on 10 ars ago."-
Another
go.
Another company that relys
heavily upon racing to test compo-
nents is the Robert Bosch Corp.
"There is- no question that the
Super Vee series has proven. itself
an excellent testing grounds for
products such as our breakerless
distributor, injection pumps and
spark plugs:'explains Bosch's field
representative, Wolfgang Hustedt.
"It's not only the specific prod-
ucts that evolve from racing that
- makes competition so•valuable;"
adds two-time G T-3 Scirocco na-
tional champion Tom Davey. \
"Equally important is the tact that
racing forces engineers to work at
the leading edge of technology
and those developments filter
down to the cars we drive on the.
street. For example, up to 15, years
ago aerodynamics weren't. really
an important consideration in •
passenger cars, but it was "slate -
of -the -art" for race car design. To-
day, the data bank of information
developed by race designers is
constantly being tapped by auto-
motive engineers everywhere: "

Sports
Spotlight
By Ross Haugh
Every September when the major league baseball
pennant races get exciting,_and very competitive at least
one underdog comes along in the fashion of David in
stewing Goliath.
This time it's the lowly ChicagoCubs coming along
to sink the Montreal Expos in their drive for the Na-
tional League east championship with three straight
wins right in Montreal on the weekend.
The Expos would probably be a lot closer than their
present six games out of first place if they had a better
record at home.
Montreal manager Jim Fanning went to hospital
Friday with migraine headaches. Had he stayed around
for the Saturday game against the Cubs, we're sure his
head pains would have been much more severe.
On their home field the Expos took an early 7-0 lead
and were apparently heading for an easy win. Not so,
the Cubs'came roaring back to win by a score of 10-7.
Chances are now very high that Fanning will not
be back at the helm of the Expos for next season. A
number of players have shown severe criticism of Fan-
ning's decisions and that should be the writing on the
wall.
As on most big league teams, most of the Expos
players draw down larger salaries than the manager
and their wishes are usually considered.
In addition, Fanning in his first full year as.Mon-
treal manager has not been able to put together any con-
sistency in the win department after the club narrowly
missed winning a year ago.
This was to be the year of the Expos and it looks
as if Fanning missed the only opportunity he will ever
have to get into a World Series.
With only 14 games remaining in the regular
schedule the Expos in order to finish first would need
to win 10 of their next 14 games and have the Cardslose
11 of their 13 contests.
Stranger things have happened, but, don't count on
it, especially. with the apparent low morale existing in
Montreal.
If morale is low in Expo territory what about the
situation with the New York Yankees.
Owner George Steinbrenner can be expected to
blow his top after his team was blown out twice over
the weekend by the pennant bound Milwaukee Brewers.
In two games the Brewers scored a total of 28 runs to
humiliate the pinstripers from Manhattan.
It's not only high player salaries that is costing the
Yanks a lot of money, but, at the moment they have five
managers still on the payroll.
In addition to present manager Clyde King, the
Yanks continue to pay off cdntracts to Billy Martin, Bob
Lemon, Gene Michael and Dick Houser.
The other three pennant races are shaping up as
real battles and will likely go down to the final days of
the camftaign.
The Milwaukee Brewers have the best record of any
team in either league with 89 wins, but, only lead the
fast closing Baltimore Orioles by two games in the
American league east.
These two clubs will likely carve out their own
destiny as they play each other seven times. They con-
clude the season with the final four games in Baltimore
on October 1, 2 and 3 with a doubleheader on the Friday.
In the American league west, a real struggle is go-
ing on as the Kansas City Royals and California Angels
are tied for first place and they play each other six
times.
The Los Angeles Dodgers with a current two and
a half game bulge over the Atlanta Braves should be
favourites to repeat in the National league west. The
two contenders only meet each other twice in the re-
maining schedule.
Mohawks to practice
The Exeter Mohawks of the South Huron in-
termediate hockey league will be holding their first
practice Saturday, September 25 at 11 a.m. at the
Stephen township arena at Huron Park.
Jack Chipchase who was named the league's coach
of the year last year will be back and will welcome any
newcomers wishing to try out for the club.
South Huron league president John Snell reports he
expects to complete negotiations this week with the
North Oxford league for an interlocking schedule bet-
ween the two loops.
Home and home single games between the two
leagues would be completed before Christmas to get
away from the usual stormy weather in January.
Practices continue. each Tuesday and Thursday
nights for the Exeter junior Hawks. Co ch Bob Rowe
has had a tremendous response for the first couple of
workouts with more than 50 hopefuls in attendance.
The Lean Irish, defending OHA Junior "D"
champs are also back on ice and preparing for defence
of their title. The first home game for the Hawks will
be at the South Huron Rec Centre on Friday, October
15 with the Lucan Irish supplying the opposition.
