Times-Advocate, November 18, 1974 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Well done Congratulations galore to the South Huron District High School Panthers on winning the Huron-Perth Conference senior football championship. These congratulations to the Panthers should be a little more than usual. They won the area high school football ti- tle under more than ordinary circumstances and conditions. The field conditions for not only Saturday's final but Tuesday's semi-final game were far from ideal. After a few plays it was almost impossible to see numbers on the sweaters for all the mud. In Saturday's game especially, the Panthers went with a passing game which was very successful despite the always slippery ball and treacherous footing, On a slippery field, the passing team does have a bit of advantage in that the would be receiver knows pretty well where the ball will be thrown and the defenders have problems in following the receivers. The numerous passing by the Panthers seemed to catch the Goderich defence off guard, They appeared to be look- ing for more running plays. Saturday's final at the local high school field drew a large and enthusiastic crowd of spectators from both Goderich and South Huron, After coming close to the championship for the last cou- ple of years Saturday's victory was very welcome to coaches Ron Bogart and Glenn Mickle. One problem not encountered this year by the South Huron coaches was deciding on which players trying out for the team would be cut. All 33 players out to the first practices were signed up, a good number of which were up from last year's junior championship club. Last year in the Conference final played in Stratford the senior Panthers lost an early lead and were defeated by Central Huron of Clinton. The year before they lost to the same Goderich Vikings. This was the first South Huron senior title since they won back-to-back in 1967 and 1968. In 10 games played this year the Panthers won all but one and that was upset loss to Stratford Central.

We are talking about Bowling For Dollars which is shown each Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. on Channel 13, CKCO in Kitchener. The prize to go to the first contestant to throw three consecutive strikes will be within a few dollars of five thou- sand when the show takes to the air.this Saturday night. ,f,One of the entrants this, past Saturday night proved to be a familiar face although he is a resident of Waterloo. He is Ed Reist who makes several appearance's in this area each year with the public address equipment at the Kirkton Garden Party and the Exeter Fall Fair. Ed who told master of ceremonies Bill Inkol that he threw the first perfect five-pin bowling game in Canada in 1934 was able to get only one perfect throw away and failed to take home the big money. Time heals "Time heals" or "what a difference a few weeks make" are two expressions which certainly could apply to the Hamilton Tiger Cats and their supporters. We tuned in to CHML Hamilton for a few moments Saturday afternoon to the program, "The Fifth Quarter" which is a post-game show. The attitudes of the callers were a far cry from those of about six weeks ago when the Tiger Cats had just lost seven games in a row. At that time, fans calling in to the show were condem- ning everything about the Hamilton football club. Saturday afternoon, after they had just blanked the Montreal Alouettes to gain entry to the Eastern Canadian final, the Tiger Cats were hailed as the best team ever assembled on the mountain and sure to win the Grey Cup. Suppose that we could say no one is "as fickle" as a sports fan and with as short a memory. We will go out on the proverbial limb and call Hamilton to continue their fine play of recent weeks to get past the Ottawa Roughriders and the Edmonton Eskimos to repre- sent the West in the November 28 Grey Cup at CNE Stadium in Toronto. Sunday's Western semi-final proved that there is plenty of "foot" left in football, All 14 points on the board by the winning Edmonton club came from the educated toe of Dave Cutler who continues to be one of the most proficient place kickers in Canada. Only single point for Huron Park teams COMPUTER CAR In five Shamrock minor league games this week, teams from Huron Park could pick up only one point on a tie game. The draw came between the Huron Park and Ilderton ban- tarns, In three other games, Ilderton teams scored Shutouts over the Huron Parker& The Ilderton pee wees won 5-0, the midgets ran up a 3-0 count and the atoms won by a decisive score of 11-1. In the fifth game, the Lambeth midgets blasted Huron Park 15-0, Scott Smith scored the first Huron Park bantam goal on a pass from Chuck Wright and Ralph Wells converted a pass from Rick Lather for the second, Norm Campbell scored both goals for Ilderton in the third period. One was unassisted and the other came on a pass from Art Gregory. The only other Huron Park goal scored in the five games was "Three times and you are out" was not on the minds of the members of the South Huron senior Panthers football team Saturday afternoon as they met the Goderich Vikings for the Huron-Perth Conference championship. The Panthers failing to bring home the championship in the last two years came through with a solid 19-14 win over Goderich at the South Huron field Saturday afternoon to win the title for the local school for the first time since 1968. "We came up big when it counted." That was the comment of South Huron coach Ron Bogart. He continued, "It was a great victory for our kids. They really deserved it." The South Huron coach added, "I think we caught Goderich off balance with a lot of passing. Quarterback John Van Gerwen used his receivers to full ad- vantage. I'm sure that Goderich Rec hockey gets going The regular schedule of the Exeter and District recreation hockey league will get underway Sunday night. Five teams will be in action throughout the winter. They are Algoma Tire, Guess Who, Les Pines, Ottawas and MacLean- Passmore. The first game of the season Sunday night will be between Algoma Tire and MacLean- Passmore at the Hensall arena at 7 p.m. A double header will be played Tuesday night, November 23 with the Guess Who meeting Les Pines at 8 p.m. and the Ottawas tangling with MacLean- Passmore at 9:30 p.m. One game is set for each Sunday night and two games each Tuesday night throughout the 16 game schedule.

Despite the terrible field conditions, Van Gerwen at- tempted 21 passes and was successful on 11 of them, A clean ball was used on almost every play as the one in play was continually mud covered. Early in the game the South Huron coaches spotted a flaw in the Goderich line on punt at- tempts and sent John Gould and Rick Bedard right up the middle. This move paid off as Gould was able to block two Goderich kicks which helped the Panthers in field position. The Panthers scored on the third series of plays in the first quarter. After the first two South Huron plays failed they kicked to Goderich. The first Viking running play resulted in a fumble and Mark Desjardine pounced on the ball fora South Huron recovery. On the next play Brad Cann went over the Goderich goal line from three yards out and the score was 6-0. With about five minutes left in the first period, John Van Ger- wen completed three consecutive passes. He hit Phil Knight for 15 yards, Gord Baird for 20 yards and then found Steve Knight in the clear and the Hensall youngsters completed a suc- cessful play of 20 yards for the second major score of the af- ternoon. -r ' Midway through the second quarter after the ball was ex- changed three times for each team, John Van Gerwen again found his passing targets. He hit Phil Knight for eight yards to move to the Goderich 20 yard line. From here Van Gerwen put the ball into the air and Gord Baird made a fantastic one handed catch in the coffin corner just inside the goal line. Baird's great grab put the Panthers in front 18-0. This lead didn't last very long as Lee Arbour of the Vikings ran the kickoff back 75 yards for the first touchdown of the afternoon for the opposition. The Vikings came out in the second half with a little more desire. Another great run by Arbour this time for 50 yards was nullified by a clipping penalty, John Gould was through to block the Goderich punt and gave his team possession on the Vikings 35. After two incomplete passes, Van Gerwen booted the ball into the Goderich end zone for a single point and the final of the day for the Panthers. Lee Arbour galloped 70 yards for the final Vikings score late in the fourth period as he was able to get outside. The Panthers led in the yards gained statistics by 294 yards to 192. The locals gained 72 yards on the ground, 150 through the air The Centralia College Saints won two games this week in the South Huron intermediate hockey league.
