Times-Advocate, 1986-11-05, Page 18Page 2A Times -Advocate, November 5, 1986 Senior footba!t .underdogs come through, juniors fail late A week ago we talked about the World Series and the expres- sion of "It ain't over until it's over." This also applied to the two Huron -Perth football final games which were played Saturday. The junior Panthers who were undefeated in league play were at home to the Goderich Vikings and lost 18-16 in the last minute of play. In Goderich is was a different story as the seniors from South Huron who were classed by many as the underdogs came through with a great performance to win the championship on a 15-0 score. Anytime any football team can go into Goderich and shutout the home team, that's an accomplishment in itself. We were at the game and will make only a brief mention of the feud that some people think exists between the two schools. Students from South Huron are to be congraf ulated on the restraint they used while being taunted quite severely. It was a Goderich fan that was hauled off by police. And haul is the proper term. It took two police officers and a civilian who assisted to get the subject to the police car for the trip downtown. Back to football, both teams are to be commended on providing excellent football entertainment all season long and they represented their school well. Amateur Sports We often hear the question what is the definition of amateur sports. The common denominator has usually been an amateur athlete is one which does not get paid for his or her services. Along the way there has been an occasional suspension for ac- cepting maybe not cash, but, goods from a sponsoring firm. Not long ago, it was announced that National Hockey League players will be allowed to compete in the next Olympic competition. That is providing they are under 23 years of age. What age has to with this situation we wouldn't have any ideas. Not many NHL players will likely take part in the next Olym- pics mainly because they will hit in the middle of the regular schedule, but, if it happens it would mean invasion into the last of what has always been known as true amateurism. While listening to the Michigan -Illinois football game on the car Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh radio Saturday on the way y to the Huron -Perth senior final we heard something interesting. Michigan's director of athletics said the budget for the school's football program for 1986 was over $17 million. That's amateur sports? The Michigan Wolverines appear to be on their way to the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day with eight straight wins to date. One certainly needs a program when watching a Big Ten game. For Saturday's contest Michigan dressed a total of 108 players and with a lopsided win a reality early in the second half only 66 of these actually saw action. Extends Season After a 162 game regular schedule plus 14 post -season games, one would think manager Davey Johnstonof the world champion New York Mets had enough baseball for one year but that's not the case. Johnston is currently in Japan managing a team of all stars. The Americans won the first game against the best in Japan by a 6-3 score with Ryne Sandberg of the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta's Dale Murphy hitting home runs. Pitchers in the first game were Mike Scott of the Houston Astros and Ted Higuera from the Milwaukee Brewers. Jack Morris and Willie Hernandez of the Detroit Tigers are also )n the 24 man roster. Supporters of the California Angels will be happy to hear rookie Wally Joyner is back to good health and with the team in Japan.
