6 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdoy, Mey 13, 1967 BOBBY ORR -.- Outstanding Star MATT LEYDEN | SPORTS BEAT By Eric Wesslby Times Sports Editor IT'S A ONE-shot affair, but always a popular one, when the schools making up the Central Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association get together for the annual track and school meet. Lake Ontar- fo District schools will hold their annual meet Tuesday, at Clarke High School, Orono, with the top four in each event qualifying for the COSSA meet in Oshawa, at McLaughlin Collegiate, next Saturday. HIGH SCHOOL track meets are perhaps the most popular sports events for the teenage athlete. You don't have to be a giant to excel in most of the events, although it helps if you have a bit of weight in the shot put. But the wiry little fellows somehow seem to be the heroes of the dis- tance races. For glamor, the Speed boys, those competing in the 100- and 200-yard dashes, catch the eye. The mile and two-mile races also draw quite a bit of atten- tion, but for sheer persever- ance, how about the pole vaulters? This event is usual- ly one of the first to get under way at any meet and it's always the last to finish. EVEN THE girls have their moments of glory at the track meet. Quite often a young girl will capture the attention of everyone as she eclipses a performance by some boy. While it wasn't a high school meet, who stole the thunder in a marathon Tace at Toronto last week- end? A young girl. Of course this doesn't happen in a school meet. But, quite often, a girl's performance in a cer- tain event is better than that of a winning effort by a boy in the same event. TUESDAY WILL be quite a day for Oshawa sportsmen. The city will host some of the greatest names in Canadian sport, something which might not be duplicated again. Cen- tre of attention, however, in this galaxy of stars will be three people, Nancy Greene; Bobby Orr and Matt Leyden. Miss Greene, Canada's top skier, is reportedly just as sharp away from the ski slopes as when she's per- forming. ORR, AS every hockey fan knows, was perhaps the best thing to happen to Oshawa in quite a while. Even as a 14- year-old playing with the Oshawa Generals, he im- pressed observers with his puck savvy, and now, al- though playing against men, this 19-year-old is still recog- nized as one with few peers. To be selected to a National Hockey League all-star team is quite an honor, but to make it while still eligible for jun- nior hockey is a unique achievement. In future years, defencemen will probably talk contract by saying, "How much more do I get if I get that other all-star defence spot?" conceding the number one spot to Orr. THERE ISN'T enough space to record the deeds of Matt Leyden here. If any words are applicable to a_ sports- man, you'll usually find they fit Matt. Rarely does he raise his voice in protest, although he can get up and raise a bit of a fuss when the occasion arises. The Centennial Sports Celebrities Dinner _ should serve as a fitting tribute to a great sportsman. INDICATIONS ARE _ that the junior "A" series of the Ontario Lacrosse Association will be a hard fought affair, with Oshawa Green Gaels not expected to have things too much their own way. Gaels get another severe test here Monday night when St. Catharines Lakesides visit at Civic Auditorium. And then five members of the Gaels, coach Jim Bishop, Gaylord Powless, Jim Higgs, Ross Jones and Dwight Davies will take some time off from the box lacrosse game to help Peterborough in the Inter- national Field Lacrosse Tour- nament. Bishop is off to Cor- nell this weekend to watch Cornell University in a league game. Other members of the Canadian repre sentatives will also take in the game. While the head table at the Oshawa Centennial Sports Celeb- rities Dinner at Civic Audi- torium, May 16, will demand much attention, another will certainly be just as outstanding in its own right. At the main table will be seated outstanding sports per- sonalities from Canada and the United States, including quite a few with Oshawa backgrounds, Main Guest at the head table will be Matt Leyden, of Osh- awa, i diate past president of the Ontario Hockey Associa- tion, who will be honored as Oshawa's Centennial Sportsman. Other standouts will include Bobby Orr, outstanding rookie in the National Hockey League during the past season and a former captain of Oshawa Gen- erals. Master - of - ceremonies for the dinner, which is being spon- sored by Oshawa Green Gaels for the development of minor lacrosse, will be Toronto Daily Star sports editor Milt Dunnell. Syl Apps, MPP Wolfe Island, first-winner of the Calder Tro- phy as the National Hockey Lea- gue's outstanding rookie will al- MILT DUNNELL e+ Master-of-ceremonies And Canada's outstanding con- tribution to world skiing, World Cup champion Nancy Greene, will also occupy a prominent spot at the head table. The other head table will con- Oshawa sport today, with rep- resentatives from Ontario cham- pionship teams heading the list.

Wayne Webster, High Park's starting pitcher, seemed to have the' Motor City lads at his mercy, as he breezed along, al- lowing only one hit in the first eight innings of the game, as Braves established a 3-2 lead. Legionnaires got their first two runs in the third inning, when Grant Yeo opened with a walk and pitcher Gary Carroll followed with a single to centre. Wayne Cookson worked Webster for a free ticket and Braves were in trouble. Jim Andreotti Rejoins Cahill dreotti, traded along with. de- |fensive halfback Ed Learn to Pat Waters grounded to sec- ond, forcing Cookson, as Yeo sprinted across the plate and when Eric Peterson also grounded to Joe Pfaff, Carroll scored, to make it 2-0 for Osh- awa. Pitcher Webster opened 'he bottom of the third by getting on, via Yeo's error. Don Har- vey grounded out as Webster advanced and he scored when Ray Copper followed with a single. In the fourth frame, with one out, Al Popow tied into one of Carroll's slants and "'lost it" for a homer, tying the score. GOOD FISHING Braves continued their suc- cessful one-at-a-time + technique in the following fifth, to take the lead. Cooper singled with one out, advanced on Judd White- side's grounder and_ scored when left-fielder Brian Boye failed to hang on to Brian Revin's drive into that territory. Murray Godfrey took over the mound duties for Oshawa, at the sixth inning and stopped the Braves nicely, allowing only two ingles and striking out six bat- Toronto Ar, its in h for linebacker Al Ecuyer, said Friday he was initially shocked at being dealt off by Montreal Alouettes but is looking forward to rejoining Argos. "I know one thing and that is that I can help them," An- dreotti said in an interview. "T've got a lot of football left # jin me yet--another five years at least. "You never know what can *jhappen in sports. Nobody picked the Maple Leafs to win the Stanley Cup and look what happened. The Argonaut. for- tunes have to change some- time." Andreotti, who termed his trade unexpected, said a major factor in his sentiments is his being reunited with Leo Cahill whom he said he has known for several years. ters in the last four innings. Carroll was charged with four hits allowed and all of the Braves' three runs. He struck out four batters. Ray Cooper, who collected half of the Braves' half-dozen total, got his third hit to open the seventh inning. But with one out, cooper was thrown out try- ing to steal second base. God- frey issued walks to Revin and Tom Preece in succession but forced Popow to fly out,. end- ing that threat. Braves got a runner on to open the ninth, when pinch- hitter "Sparky" Carter was safe on Peterson's error but Godfrey got the next three batters him- self, fanning Cooper and forcing the next two to ground to the OX. Meanwhile, Webster was mow- ing down the Oshawa batters with consistency, allowing no hits and piling up a total of 11 strikeouts. F Going into their last inning and trailing 3-2, Grant Yeo singled with one out, then God- frey flied out, making it two out. Cookson kept Oshawa's hopes alive by working Webster for a walk, then Pat Watters singled, scoring Yeo, with the tying run. Don Mobray replaced Webster at this point and re- tired the next batter. Shortstop Doug Harvey errored on Peterson's grounder, loading the bases, then Webster walked Ron Inche, forcing in Cookson, with what proved the winning run. Carroll, Yeo and Watters col- lected Oshawa's three singles. Both teams left ten runners stranded.
