Sm CP -- 12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 21, 1980 Sports with Danny Millar Creditable placings by High School athle tes by Danny Millar Port Perry High School enjoyed another good day at the track as they sent six more competitors to the COSSA track and field meet, when they placed in the top four in their respective events at the second ddy of LOSSA trials on Monday, May 12. The COSSA team now will be comprised of 11 athletes, two more than last year. Lisa McKenzie pulled off a bit of a surprise by finishing in third position in her junior girls 200 meter final. She gained entrance into the final by coming second in the semi-final heat. McKenzie did not run for the team last year. The Rebels had two com- petitors in the senior girls Discus event, one making it and the other a near miss. Terri Henderson qualified with her fourth place throw of 24.10 meters. Teammate Pam Kennedy just missed when she ended up in the fifth position with a 23.82 Tennis Club members return ; meter toss. Brett Qosterman will advance to COSSA in two different events. Last Friday he made it as a triple jumper and on Monday hé got the last spot in the junior boys long jump with a 5.62 meter leap. Donny Young ran three races, qualifying in one of them. Young advances in the 400 meter sprint with his second place finish. He also ran in the 200 meter sprint finishing second in his first heat witha 26.09 time. Team- mate Mark Phillips also ran his first try well, ending up in second position in the elimi- nation. His time was just three one hundredths of a second behind Young. Young made it to the final of the 800 meter run, along with Randy Kowal, but that was as far as either one of them went. Tim Hockley almost set a record in winning the midget boys Discus with his throw of 43.08 meters. His attempt "was almost four meters better than his closest rival, Rob Rocker of O'Neill. The record is 44.50 meters. Dan Millar made it to COSSA on the strength of his fourth place finish in the senior boys 800 meter race, which only five boys entered. His time of 2:18:80 was thiree one hundredths of a second behind the second and third place finishers. Port Perry had seen better days in the relay events. -The second highest finisher were the midget girls who came in sixth in the 4 x 100 with a time of 58.2 seconds. A strong last leg by Kira Cope gave them their time. Two teams, the Junior girls and the Midget boys, were disqualified by handing off out of the zone. The girls occurred at the first handoff when Cindy Bluhm and Kelly Kasper fumbled the baton. The highest place finishers were the junior boys who came in fifth in the 4 x 100 relay. Port was gaining at the end but just ran out tof room. last season's executive by Danny Millar They say the more things change, the more they stay the same. That oft-recalled axiom was appropriate after the Port Perry Tennis Club held its annual meeting last Monday, May 12, at the old Town Hall. There will be very few changes from last year. The fee structure, the instructor, the Executives, and the summer planning all remain similar, if not identical, to last year's activities. The family cost will be $30 for the coming season, which includes students over 18, $25 for a couple, Sr. Single - $18, Single Sr. Student - $15 and a junior single student is eight dollars. As a registration gimmick, the Club is giving away a free tin of tennis balls to anyone joining before June 1. Though no figures were released, club President Dave Nicholishen indicated that membership in the club had grown over the past few years. He said he was pleased with the large turn- out at the meeting, assuming that it was an indication of the club's growth. There were roughly 30 to 40 in attendance. Stan Murray, who was the instructor here last year, will be back in the same capacity in 1980. The cost of his' five week program ranges from $2.50 (for one child) to eight dollars which allows for one lesson a week. Thése programs commence on Monday, May 26. At the meeting it seemed as though the executive members went out of their way to welcome ay back again, with at least two of them comment- ing favourably on his return. The Club reported a balance of $800.64 in its Financial Report. That result came from extracting net expenses of $4,034.88 from membership totallying over $4,800. Port Perry will be entering the Kawartha League again this year. Port Perry will play a 12-game home and home series with five other local towns including Lind- say, Bobcaygeon, Oshawa and Fenelon Falls. (Lindsay enters two squads). Execu- tive member Diane Burt emphasized that this league was for the higher calibre players but that Port wouldn't restrict anyone who wanted to compete in it. The Port Perry entry is com- prised of three mens doubles teams, two women and two mixed. Last year Port finished in third spot in their four team division. There is a final series, as well as a consola- tion cup. The league starts some time in June. ° Port Perry will be running a summer league for the third straight year. Also they intend to enter a tour- ney in Fenelon Falls on May 31, which is open to anyone. Jack Bigglestone made a speech to the gathering in which he stressed involve- ment. In an ironic, situation Mr. Biggleston declined to run again for the new executive, because of business com- mittments. Every one of the returning members was on the board of Executive last term. Mike Acerra, Diane Burt, Do Bigglestone, Dave Nicho- lishen, Chic Carnegie, John Scott, Bonnie Solomon, and Winnie Tobin were all acclamated to these posi- tions. winning team hplo oom, are front row left to iid Doris Dargavel, "Joan Fleming.

Oshawa firemen too strong for Juveniles by Danny Millar Oshawa Fire Department gave Port Perry teams a pair of one sided hosings last week. The second came when they whipped Port Perry Mother's Pizza Juven- iles 17-5, handing Port its second straight pre-season loss. Once again, pitching was the main problem for Port Perry. Righthander Ian Hartung started and was tagged for 11 runs in the three innings he worked. Leon Slute went another three and surrendered four more. Tim Thompson was the most impressive in a mop-up role as he allowed only two runs, striking out four. Oshawa wasted no time getting started as they mugged Hartung for five runs in the opening inning. They followed with ten more runs in the next three frames. Milt Terry led off the second inning by reaching base on shortstop Mark Cleveland's error and Bob Bathe followed up by reach- ing first on a miscue charged to Bob Ireland. Two outs later the runners advanced and then scored when Palmer Knight lofted a fly ball to center field that fell in front of Steve Redman. A double by pitcher Rupert brought Knight home. Oshawa struck for three more runs with two out again in the third. It started with a leadoff walk, followed by an error to Cleveland, permitt- ing Dickinson to get on, and a run-scoring fielder's choice by Bathe, bringing in Dick- enson. The other two runs came in after Bathe stroked a single. Ireland gave the meagre home town crowd a bit of entertainment in the bottom of the third when he led off with an inside the park home run off Rupert. Ireland's shot sailed way over Dicken- son's head and bounced off the fence. Ireland beat the relay throw easily. It came on the first pitch of the inning. Port added another run in the same session. Cleveland" and reserve catcher Carl Durward singled and Greg Fedyk lined a single to centre to deliver Cleveland home. Two throwing errors and a hit batsmen didn't help new Port thrower Leon Slute in the fourth. After issuing an opening single, Slute hit a batter, putting runners at first and second. Durward, possessor of a good throwing arm, fired the ball into left field on an attempted steal. Bathe scored on a, sacrifice bunt after the ball was field and thrown away, causing two runs. Cleveland made the best (Turn to page 14) w 5
