les over the Phillies
The strong starters in the Baltimore
Orioles pitching rotation against the ex-
perience of the Philadelphia Phillies. This
year's World Series is a match -up of a team
that is rebuilding with youth and a team that
may have peaked for the final time.
The Phillies, for the most part, are an
aged team. Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Gary
Matthews and Ivan Dejesus are veterans
who are reaching the end off their careers.
On the other side of the coin, the Orioles
rookies Cal Ripken Jr., Mike Boddicker,
Storm Davis and John Shelby are just
begining to show the world what they're
made of.
The bottom line in this series is pitching.
The Orioles have the better starters and that
will be the margin of victory. In four games
against Chicago, Baltimore only gave up
three runs.
Both teams have the ability to hit the long
ball with Philadelphia's Mike Schmidt and
Baltimore's Eddie Murray being the biggest
threats.
Speed on the basepaths won't be a factor
m this series as neither team has an out-
standing base stealer.
Look for a six -game series with Baltimore
claiming the World Series title.
CFL week in review
The Ottawa Rough Riders defied the odds
again. For the third week in a row, the
Rough Riders came from behind to win.
Rod's Report on Sports had predicted
Calgary by 10 but thanks to Skip Walker's
second half heroics, the Stamps were
stomped. Walker's crucial 97 -yard kick-off
return in the fourth quarter got the Riders
back on track when they were trailing 21-11.
The Argos proved they were for real as
they sailed past the Edmonton Eskimos 19-
15. The Argonaut defense shone as it limited
Warren Moon to only 16 completions from 39
pass attempts. The win virtually seals first
place for Toronto in the eastern division.
In Regina, the Montreal Concordes proved
they weren't the worst team in the CFL by
hammering the Saskatchewan Roughriders
40-21. Mid-season trades have definitely hurt
the Roughies, who are destined to make last
place in the west their home for the
remainder of the season.
The B.C. Lions proved they are the class
of the west by beating Winnipeg as
predicted. Their defense proved to be the
difference (as well as a number of Winnipeg
turnovers).
Football Forecast
Saskatchewan at Hamilton
The Ticats are in desperate need of a
victory to keep in the running in the east. If
there's a team Hamilton should be able to
handle with little trouble it's the scrambled
Roughies.
Ticats by 15
Montreal at Edmonton
The Cords may have made the Roughies
look like sugar fairies but the Eskies are a
different story. Edmonton isn't the powerful
team they used to be but they're still a
contender.
Eskies by 15
Winnipeg at Ottawa
Ottawa is a team that thrives on making
sports predictors look bad. It's getting to the
point that I don't want to predict their
games! Traditionally a second half season
team, the Riders are gearing up for the
playoffs. Winnipeg seems to lack the in-
tensity needed to win. Their mistakes killed
them last week against B.C.
Ottawa by seven
B.C. at Calgary
Calgary crumbled in the second half
against Ottawa last week. The Stamps are
quickly sliding down the CFL's western
division ladder. B.C. should roar over
Calgary.
Lions by 13

By Rod Hilts
The Clinton Mustangs opened their OHA
Junior C regular season on a losing note as
they were beaten 8-3 by the Kincardine
Kinucks on Oct. 7 and 8-2 by the Port Elgin
Bears on Oct. 9.
Outskated sums up both Clinton losses.
A five -goal second period, two of which
were short-handed, was the difference
against Kincardine. The Kinucks scored
three goals in three minutes to break an
early 2-2 tie and coast to victory.
Dave Petteplace opened the scoring for
Kincardine at 4:49 of the first period when
he turned defensemen Shawn Rahbeck
inside out. Petteplace then tucked a wrist
shot off the inside of the post past Terry
Bean.
One minute later a miscue by the Kinuck
defense evened the score. Mike Zuzek put
the puck into his own net after attempting to
clear the puck from Dean Armstrong.
Armstrong was credited with the goal.
The Kinucks jumped into the lead at 15:16
when Rob Lajoie burst through the defense
and sent goalie Bean crashing into the goal
post. Before Bean could get back into
position, Kent Alton picked up the rebound
and jammed it into the net.
Clinton blew two powerplay opportunities
in the period as they sustained little
pressure on goaltender Randy Petrik. The
majority of the Mustang shots were of a
harmless variety, coming from outside the
Kincardine blueline.
The Mustangs finally got their powerplay
on track at the beginning of the second
period when Captain Mark Rowe's shot
dribbled past Petrik for the equalizer.
Just when it appeared Clinton was going
to make a game of it, the Kincardine attack
ignited. Petteplace got his second of the
game at the 4:57 mark on a passing play
with Larry MacPherson. MacPherson
spotted Petteplace alone at the lip of the
crease. Petteplace wheeled around and
jammed the puck behind Bean, who was
cleanly beaten on the play. Thirty-one
seconds later the Kinucks struck again as
Jeff Stanley scored. Stanley took a pass
from Randy Cline, who was standing in the
corner, and drilled a 15 -foot snap shot past
Bean.
With the Mustangs on a powerplay,
Kincardine's Mike Zuzek avenged his
earlier mistake and beat Bean on a nice
deke. The short-handed goal seemed to take
out any zap the Clinton team may have had
left in them.
MacPherson gave Kincardine a four -goal
advantage when he scored a short-handed

Hully Gully Grass Drag results
What began as a cool day ended up as hot
competition at Hully Gully as the first
SNOWMOBILE grass drag race of the
season was held. Over a hundred entries
from all over Ontario raced on the eighth -
mile grass drag strip at the Varna facility at
speeds approaching 90 miles an hour.
The surprise turn -out of the day as far as
participants was concerned was the brand
new "crate stock" class for snowmobiles
that are 'right out of the crate' ... that is,
with no modifications. Everything from the
Crate stock machines right up to the wild 130
horsepower fire -breather of Al Schmidt of
Gadshill was representea.
Hully Gully will also be the site of the On-
tario Grass Drag Championships on October
30th. Part of the racing that day, besides the
snowmobiles, will be the 3 -wheelers again,
plus a demonstration of snowmobile water -
skimming.

goal. He broke in alone on Bean, pulling the
Clinton goalie out of position, placing the
puck in the empty net. The Kinucks con-
tinued their second period assault as Pet-
teplace added his third of the game on a play
engineered by MacPherson. As seemed to
be the case all night, Kincardine had an
open man in front of the net. Petteplace took
the pass from MacPherson and slapped the
puck home in one motion.
Pat Cronin replaced Bean in the Clinton
goal to start the third period and he got an
early initiation as Mich Landry scored one
minute into the period. Landry's shot
handcuffed Bean as it made it in off the
inside of the post.
Clinton scored with three minutes left in
the game as Randy Marriage let a 20 -foot
wrist shot go that beat Petrik between the
pads.
Following the game, Clinton Head Coach
Bob Zimmer seemed confident despite the
loss.
"It's going to take a lot of patience. We
made a lot of minor hockey mistakes. We
were doing things you can get away with in
minor hockey but not in Junior. We have to
work on fundamentals," said Zimmer.
Zimmer said the turning point in the game
was the second period when his team "made
a couple of mistakes and then panicked". He
said his team had the chances but they
didn't shoot quick enough and again inex-
perience played a big part in the loss.
Port Elgin 8 Clinton 2
Five goals by Drake Turcotte proved to be
too much for the Mustangs to handle Sunday
night on home ice. Turcotte, the former
Captain of the St. Michaels Junior B Buz-
zers, collected seven points in the Port Elgin
rout.
The Mustangs held the margin of play for
the first 10 minutes of the game but found
themselves down by two goals at the end of
the period.
Mark Rowe opened the scoring in the first
period when he started the play by rushing
the length of the ice. Rowe then dumped the
puck off to Hymers, who returned the pass
'to Rowe, who was alone in front of the net.
Rowe wasted no time in beating Mundle
from close range.
One minute and 14 seconds later, the
Bears evened "the score with Turcotte
scoring his first goal of the game. Gary
Tucker put Port Elgin up by two at 11:50.
Turcotte then made it 3-1 at 10:31 with Tony
Gibbings in the box for elbowing.
The Mustangs closed to within one in the
t in firs
second period •:s Dean Armstrong scored on
a play started by defenseman Shawn Van
Dongen. The Bears exploded for three
unanswered goals after that point. Turcotte
scored two of the goals and set up the third.
Port Elgin continued their domination in
the third period as they added two more
goals.
Two altercations in the second and third
periods led to the ejection of two Clinton
players and one Port Elgin player.
At the end of the second period, Turcotte
took a run at Van Dongen, who had his back
turned. Rowe then went after Turcotte.
Rowe was ejected for fighting.
!n the third period a fight between Clin-
ton's Darryl Postill and the Bears' Gary
Tucker led to the ejection of both players.
As a result of the game misconducts, both
Postill and Rowe will be suspended a game
and will miss Friday's home encounter
against Wingham.
The Mustangs hope to have Brad Arm-
strong and Scott Bailey in the lineup against
Wingham. Game time is set for 8:30.
Last Sunday night in Clinton, the Mustangs dropped their second game of the season, 8-2
to the Port Elgin Bears. The Mustangs lost their season -opener to Kincardine 8-3 on Oct.
