Times-Advocate, 1982-10-20, Page 10Poge 8 Times -Advocate, October 20.1982 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Blue Jays seats higher No, the location of seats at CNE Stadium in Toron- to are not going to change, but, the prices of some of the more suitable spectator vantage points are being increased. The Jays front office has announced what they term a moderate increase of 50 cents filled level and upper level chairs and first base reserved seats. Right field reserved and general admission tickets will remain at $3 and $2 respectively. The last two mentioned seat categories have not changed since the inception of the team. The field level and upper level chair prices have each risen $2 since the team started in the spring of 1977. Buckeyes hockey news Our regular weekly news releases from Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio are back in circulation. The first one arrived Friday and contained some good news. The Pooleytwins, Paul and Perry are ex- pected to be two of the strong cogs in the Buckeyes hockey machine this year and Paul has been named the team's captain. The 22 -year old sons of Bob and Audrey Pooley of town are in their third year with the Ohio State team. Of the 22 players listed on the Ohio State hockey roster an even dozen are from the -province of Ontario and three more hail from British Columbia. Coach Jerry Welsh is optimistic about his club this year and hopes they can improve on last year's record of 16 victories, 17 lossesand one tie. They lost 13 of their first 20 starts. • Billy Ball across the lake Although the Cleveland Indians front office is de- nying rumours that Bill Martin will be their next manager, that would be the best news heard around Municipal Stadium since the days of wonder boy manager Lou Boudreau. Thursday night, Bob McCown of Global television's Sportsline said Martin's appearance in Cleveland was imminent. He went on to say that the prospect of Billy Ball would excite Indian fans and season ticket sales would soar. After financial conditions improve with the Indians McCown predicted the club would be sold to Ed Dabar- tola. Jr. The DeBartola family already owns the Pitt- sburgh Penguins in the NHL and the San Francisco For- ty Niners football franchise. It seems rather unlikely to this writer that Martin would want to come to Cleveland. In Oakland he is real ly his own boss as his duties combine manging and the general manager's position. He also owns a 6600,000 home in California and when he took over at Oakland said he wanted that spot so he could live closer to his mother. Staunch supporters of the Indians say it was more a case of injuries than poor management which caus- ed the club to finish .in a tie for last place in the American league east with the Toronto Blue Jays. Pitchers Bert Blyleven and John Dennie missed most of the season because of injuries and Bake McBride suffered a serious eye injury at a time when he was hitting over .300. Later on Dennie was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Indian weak spots appear to beat shortstop and the lack of a power hitting outfielder. They certainly could use Blue Jay Alfredo Griffin for their double play combination. The return of Griffin to Cleveland could be a possibility. The Jays have a great shortstop prospect in the minors in Tony Fernandez. In fact the Toronto club have Fernandez teaming up with second baseman Damaso Garcia this winter with the Licey team. in the Dominicanatepublic whilelGriffin will play for Estrellas in the same league. Two of the Blue Jays most promising young pit- chers Luis Leal and Jim Gott will get extra work this winter in Venezuela. New hockey magazine A new hockey magazine is out this month and it is aimed at the young and developing minor hockey players. It's called Hockey Ontario and will be publish- ed five times each year. It's a followup to previous publications Coaches Corner and Hockey Scope. To ensure that as many players as possible receive the magazine it is being offered in bulk form to minor associations inpackages'of 15 which can be sent directly to the coach of each team. The intention of Hockey Ontario officials is to give as much information as possible on a variety of hockey related subjects. Included would be the type of equipment to pur- chase, how to develop hockey skills, where to obtain in- formation on hockey resources, hockey schools, development camps, coaching tips, officials respon- sibilities, first aid and safety plus interviews with well known hockey people. Articles in the first issue included a step by step con- ditioning program, goal tending tips, information on new equipment, new Hockey Ontario clinics, referee- ing and a pictorial on the 1982 coaches seminars.

In their Friday night home opener, the Hawks were drubbed 10-3 by the defending OHA champion Lucan Irish and in Port Stanley, Sunday, the locals suffered an 8-3 loss.

Tuesday night the locals tackle their namesakes in Mitchell. The Lucan Irish scored six times in the middle frame of Friday's contest as they showed some of the form that carried them to the Ontario ti- tle last year. Veterans Art Gregory, Steve Glenn and Mark Thompson led the scoring parade as they dented the twine twice. Adding singles were Dave Patton, Jamie Shipley, John Medd and Paul Wraith. Defenceman Randy Turner had . three assists, while Thompson, Glenn and Shipley added two each. Recording singles were Steve Thomson, Wraith, Jeff Skinner, Geoff Edwards and Dave Patton. Paul Creighton faced only 23 shots in the nets for the Irish and turned them all aside except three. Lucan scored twice on the powerplay and added one in the third while they were short-handed as they led 2-0 after the first and boosted it to 8-2 at the end of the second. Dean Armstrong scored twice for the young Hawks and Mike . Clark notched the Crown corning to South Huron The Harlem Crowns are coming to Exeter.

Stratford trips In the past month, over 100 South Huron students have travelled to Stratford to see two Shakespearean'produc- tions. In September, 58 students joined other school groups to see The Tempest. This was particularly valuable to grade 13 English students who are studying The Tempest in class. This past week students spent the day in Stratford seeing The Merry Wives of Windsor and talking with Nicholas Pennel, one of the actors. The English department plans more trips in the spring. Students pay a reduced rate for these special performances. 1{X Gas Fired "Energy Saving" Forced Air Furnaces 1111111a,•.11 WORTH THE SWITC Add up the features and savings for yourself. 1 "011.1117' Ssventeest Gnats qualify you for savings up to 2100 Fumes Saves up to 37% on heating costs 3 Eisdrk Igalties - eliminates the needless burning of the gas pilot and extra fuel 4 Soul Bsagsr - Keeps heat, fuel and money from escaping up the chimney when the furnace is off 5 Nits tri - Back Tksrarsstst - autotrtatically turns back ternpierature at night - saving you 1% ',preach °F below 70°F CAU.

Junior girlsget first season win The junior girls basketball team won their first game of the season against Norwell irr Palmerston, The team seem- ed to be able to get their of- fense together as they outscored Norwell 46-40. Irene Brand put in 22 of those points. The Palmerston gym is very small which would actually give the home team an advantage. Wednesday, the juniors were defeated by Listowel 34-23 to make their record 1-4. In the third quarter it looked like South Huron could catch up when a Listowel player stepped on Irene Brand's already injured ankle. The team was unable to make headway after losing Irene despite valiant efforts, especially by Dianne Dear- ing. Brand managed six points before leaving the game while four points were added by Cheryl Dowson. The juniors played at Wingham Monday and meet Clinton here, today. Next week they will play Stratford Central and Seaforth. r KEROSENE HEATERS Model no. 110 s80" Model no. 1001 $7195 Model no. 2002 $6745 by Sunbeam No. OHRG-23H $139" No. OHRG-30A $249°0.
