Page 2A Times-Advocote, September 17, 1986 Footballers start quest for conference championship The regular Huron -Perth football season starts this week for South Huron District High School teams and athletic director Ron Bogart is confident both teams will be very competitive this season. Bogart who has coached the senior Panthers for many years is again being assisted by Casey Cook. The junior coaches are Dave Cox, Bruce Eccles and Keith Wonnacott. Turnouts at opening practices have been extemely good. Bogart has 43 seniors in training and the junior coaches have cut their roster down to 38 from an original 60. The two Panther teams will be in Stratford tomorrow, Thurs- day to take on Stratford Northwestern in a doubleheader. Bogart who lost 20 players from last year's team will be rebuilding the offensive and defensive lines. Back to head up the offensive backfield are quarterback Scott Miller and running backs Bill Fisher and Sean Whiteford to be join- ed by Kevin Cottrell up from the juniors. Cottrell can also go as a corner linebacker. Other top notch performers back for a second year are Richard Voogel, Rick Gilfillan, John Relouw, Scott Heywood, Joe Gower, Martin Reymer and Mark Penhale. A grade 11 student Trevor Ratz out for football for the first time has shown a lot of quickness and will probably be in a safety position. Statue of Limitations__ We have good news for anyone holding tickets for the 1985 World Series at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. The statue of limitations apply in this situation and you have seven years from the time of purchase to apply for a refund on the World Series that never was. This policy does not apply to postponed regular season games. Exchange policies are up to the individual clubs and the Blue Jays are more liberal than most, more so later in the season when good Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh available seats are harder to come by. The Blue Jays have had only two games cancelled this season. They were April 16 against Balimore and last week against the Yankees. Tickets for the April 16 games must be exchanged before the end of this season, but, for the recent Yankee game can be exchanged for any date in the 1987 season. Blue Jays ticket director George Holm says returns for cash refunds of last year's World Series tickets are now up to fl- cent and still trickling in. While in past years at other cities, as high as 20 percent of the tickets were not returned we would guess the prices of $26 to $52 per ticket would bring about a refund request instead of keeping them as souvenirs. Given a stated Exhibition Stadium capacity of 43,737 for baseball, the Jays printed 3,673,908 tickets this year for 84 potential dates, 81 scheduled league games, the Pearson Cup game and two blanket sets in case an off -day got used as a make-up date. Not all civil servants in Ontario are baseball fans. A provincial tax auditor when noting playoff receipts from the 1985 season wanted to see records for playoffs before that. It took some time to convince him the team doesn't make the playoffs every year.

The Express scored a pair of runs in each of the first two innings only to have Strathroy come up with a trio of their own in the third. The Exeter club on a single score went ahead 5-3 in the fourth, but Strathroy scored a run in each of the six and seventh frames to draw even. Continuing the tie situation, each team scored one run in the eighth, three in the ninth and one more in the tenth before Strathroy went ahead to stay with one run in the top of the eleventh. Jeff Fuller started on the mound for the Express and went until two were out in the ninth when Don MacDonald took over and finished up. In the opening inning, Walt Parkin- son and Kevin Hern doubled for the Express and crossed the plate with the help of a Paul Gilmour single.

T -A photo Reach final in Strathroy S.ccer squad surprise After finishing the season with a 4-1-9 record in the London Middlesex District Youth league this past season and ending up in fifth place in the league, the Exeter bantams travell- ed to Strathroy on Saturday for the league playoffs. Most believed that it would be a short trip. Because of the luck of the draw Exeter received a bye in to the semi-finals and had to play against the league champions from Glencoe, a team that only lost one all season. The Exeter boys and girls pulled oft a tremendous upset that had everyone at the tournament talking by defeating Glencoe on a goal in the_ second half scored by Justin O'Rourke on a shot from about 30 yards out just under the crossbar. Exeter did have some anxious moments in the latter part of the game but held on to gain a berth in the bantam finals against Mount Brydges Lions. The Lions had defeated Exeter in the last game of the season by a 6-1 score, but again the Exeter kids show- ed a lot of poise and tested Mount Brydges to the limit. After a 0-0 half time score Henri DeBruyn missed the top corner of the net by about a foot. Shortly after that a situation in the Exeter penalty area was rewarded with a penalty shot and the Mount Brydges player made a mistake pouring his shot past the Ex- eter goalie Craig Winbow. In the remainder of the game Ex- eter put pressure on the opposing goalie but Mount Brydges managed to hang on and defeat Exeter by a 1-0 score. The play and sportsmanship of the Exeter players and the parent sup- port made a lot of friends in Strathroy. The town of Exeter can be well pleased by the behaviour of their soccer ambassadors.
