Girls basketball clubs lose
first games in H-P league
By TERESA ONDREJICKA
The 1973 Huron-Perth season of
girls basketball got under way
here Thursday when South Huron
met Stratford Central in a double
header with both teams suffering
losses.
The junior team was defeated
by the score of 31-25. The game
was a hard fought battle from one
end of the floor to the other. The
girls showed up well in their
speed and passing techniques,
however their shooting seemed to
cause some problems for them.
Scorers in the game were
Heather Wein chalking up seven
points in our favor, Gayle Ecker
sicking six baskets, Gail Fuller
handled five, Marie Jarvis went
for four, and Janet Pryde had
two.
Practices have been going on
after school and their shooting is
looking much better. They should
be ready for another action
packed game today in Wingham.
The senior team also fell a
60-48 loss. It was a good game and
both sides played hard and did
their best for the day.
Scoring went to Susan Luther
with 26 points, Deb Wooden
brought forth 17, and Valerie
Sweet stacked up five points for
the South Huron team. The teams
double header from Listowel at
the local school grounds.
In the opening contest the South
Huron ,junior Panthers scored at
will as they bombed Listowel by a
score of 44-0.
The senior game was, a much
different story with the outcome
being in doubt until the fourth
quarter.
The Panthers scored two fourth
period touchdowns to preserve a
20-2 victory.
Both South Huron clubs are
back in action this afternoon
Thursday as they travel to.
Wingham for another
doubleheader.
A good team effort
Thursday's junior win for South
Huron was accomplished on an
excellent team effort with both
the offensive and defensive clubs
coming up with key plays.
It took the Panthers only four
plays from the opening kickoff to
hit the scoreboard. Kevin Baker
finished off the move downfield
with a 25 yard gain on a halfback
sweep. Steve Jennison was good
with the convert and the score
was 7-0.
Listowel failed to move on the
next two plays and Bill Baker
busted through the line to block
the attempted punt and Tom
Hayter recovered for the Pan-
thers.
On the second play from
scrimmage, quarterback John
Van Gerwen hit Steve Knight on a
35 yard pass play which took the
ball to the Listowel two yard line.
Kevin Baker immediately scored
on an off-tackle plunge and John
Van Gerwen swept around the
end for a two point convert.
Early in the second quarter
South Huron moved the ball 77
yards in seven plays. On a
halfback sweep, Ken Pinder
threw a pass to Steve Knight for a
touchdown. The play covered 35
yards. Jennison kicked, the extra
point.
Doug Mclsaac with two good
runs of 17 and 10 yards was in-
strumental in setting up the third
Panther major score.
Late in the second quarter,
Terry McDonald recovered a
Listowel fumble. A pass from
John Van Gerwen to Steve Knight
on a fake kicking situation set up
the fourth South Huron touch-
down. Van Gerwen took the ball

School grid teams win again FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS
By Ross Haugh.
S eries
time
It's getting around to World Series time again and this
weekend will begin to tell the story of which clubs will meet
in the popular fall classic.
Thinking of World Series brings back fond memories of
our memorable four day stay in Detroit just about five
years ago,
Despite our loyalty to the Tigers it may be a few years
before we have the opportunity to go back to Tiger Stadium
to watch the best in the American league take on the
National league winner.
For a short while this year we had strong hopes for a
repeat of 1968 but the lack of youth was the big reason the
Tigers finished about 10 games out of first place,
We would imagine there is a big shake-up in the Tiger
situation over the winter months. Not only will a new man
be in charge of the club on the field but lots of new faces
will appear among the playing personnel.
Rumours this week have Ralph Houk, recently resigned
as Yankee boss coming over to Detroit. The sentimental fan
favorite in Detroit for the job Al Kaline says he is not in-
terested in the managerial position.
In addition Kaline says he doesn't want a coaching spot
either, but would like to become the regular designated
hitter.
The Tigers have more players than Kaline who would be
excellent designated hitters and because of their age may be
just past their peak as far as fielding is concerned. These
would include Jim Northrup, Norm Cash and possibly Willie
Horton or Bill Freehan.
All the Tigers need to become a pennant contender is
one or two good starting pitchers, a long bail hitter and
speed on the bases. It's no secret the Tigers were probably
the slowest club this year with very few stolen bases and
had few men with a good runs batted in record.
The only real feature of a poor year for the Detroit club
was the showing of Canadian John Hiller. The left handed
pitcher from Scarborough proved to be the best relief
pitcher in all of the major leaguds.
Hiller, who only two years ago suffered a heart attack
broke the major league records for pitching saves in one
year with 38 and also won 10 games.
Whenever the Tiger pitchers were in trouble, especially
in late innings it was almost a cinch Hiller would make his
way in from the bull pen. He seemed to glory in lots of work
as he was known to appear in five or six games a week.
So, let's hope Mr. Fetzer and Mr. Campbell wave their
magic wand and bring the necessary talent into the bengal
uniforms for 1974.
As for the current World Series, we will crawl out on the
usual precarious limb and make our predictions as to at
least the clubs meeting in the World Series.
Sticking to our usual form we will go with probably the
underdogs in calling the Baltimore Orioles and the New
York Mets to battle for baseball supremacy.
Manager Yogi Berra of the Mets seems to have instilled
in his club the same winning attitude that was so well known
with the New York Yankee clubs of the past when they won
one World Series after another.
Suppose it's a continuation. of the same Pride of the
Yankees spirit and it only moved across town from Yankee
Stadium to Shea Stadium.
The Mets do have an excellent pitching staff led by
Seaver and Koosman and like the Pittsburg announcer said
in a broadcast a couple of weeks ago they have, "angels in
the outfield."
The strength of Earl Weaver's Baltimore club also lies
in the pitching staff.
Our predictions of the Orioles and Mets should send
most of our readers gleefully out to wager their savings on
the Cincinatti Reds and Oakland Athletics.
Hockey is back
Just a reminder in case no one has noticed because of
the excellent weather we are now enjoying, the NHL televis-
ed hockey games start next Wednesday night with Punch
Imlach and his Buffalo Sabres invading Maple Leaf
Gardens.
We have just received a very informative packet from
Hockey Night in Canada regarding the telecasts this year
and will pass some of the information on in future columns.
Exciting football
The exciting action in the Canadian football league con-
tinues. In almost every televised contest, one of the teams
puts on a concerted effort in the last quarter to keep the
final outcome in doubt until the minute flag drops.
We recently picked 'up the October issue of Canadian
Football News and it contained a lot of valuable information
on the CFL.
One interesting page listed the players and numbers of
all the Canadian team which makes TV watching a little
more enjoyable. Quite frequently a player makes a signifi-
cant block or another contribution to the game and is not
specifically mentioned. Having the numbers at hand adds a
lot to a telecast.

have been out practicing since
then, and I hear are all ready for
the game today.
There was a good crowd out at
the game and a lot of enthusiasm
was shown, but more could be
had. As mentioned above the next
game is in Wingham today but
there will be a home game
Wednesday October 10 at two
o'clock against Mitchell.
The teams may not be off to a
very good start but the future
looks promising, so don't give up
hope. Come on out and give your
team a cheer!

in from two yards and Kevin
Baker ran off tackle for a two
point conversion.
With time running out in the
first half, Paul Shapton in-
tercepted a Listowel pass to stop
a scoring threat.
The biggest scoring op-
portunity for Listowel came early
in the third quarter. They moved
the ball to the South Huron five
yard line but fumbled and Toni
Hayter recovered for the Pan-
thers.
The Panthers moved the ball 84
yards in only eight plays early in
the fourth quarter to chalk up the
fifth major of the afternoon.
Excellent runs by Doug
Mclsaac, John Van Gerwen and
Kevin Baker and a Van Gerwen
pass to Randy Funston put the
ball on the Listowel one and Van
Gerwen plunged over.
The final South Huron touch-
down came on the next series of
plays. Steve Knight returned a
punt 20 yards and John Van
Gerwen through a pass to Randy
Funston which covered the
remaining 40 yards. Steve Jen-
nison kicked his third convert of
the afternoon.
Any further Listowel scoring
efforts in the fourth quarter were
stymied as Ken Govers and Mike
Dougherty intercepted passes.
On the final play of the game
Steve Jennison missed on a field
goal attempt but the ball went
into the end zone for a single
point.
Steve Knight was named the
best backfielder with five suc-
cessful pass catches one touch-
down and the return of punts for
11 and 20 yards,
The best defensive player
award went to Tom Hayter. He
recovered a fumble, a blocked
punt and made four key tackles.
Terry McDonald actually led the
Panthers in key tackles with a
total of seven.
