Slip anthers Past Crusaders Newbury Park Nabs 'A' Title Continued from Page One that provided the Panthers with the winning margin. It was the first GIF baseball title ever won by a Valley area team. And amazingly, it was accomplished by a team made up of freshmen, sophomores and juniors.

It also marks the first GIF crown for a Valley area team since St. Genevieve of Panorama City walked off with the football title in 1966. "I can't believe it it's the greatest thrill of my life," said coach Jay Merrill after the game. The Panthers opened the playoffs by beating Gate, 26-4; blanking Paraclete of Lancaster, 2-0, and beating Bishop, 5-3, to gain the finals berth. Quick, a llth grader, limited the usually hard-hitting Valley Christian batters to six hits and would have had a shutout without four errors committed by his teammates.

The tension that began mounting for the team early the day reached a crescendo with the approach of final half inning. Three outs stood between Quick and the championship. It's funny," he told The News afterwards, "I felt more pressure early in the game. When I walked out there in the seventh, I had all the confidence in the world." He retired the sids in order, getting Don Hibma to pop out -weakly to the second baseman then striking out Tim Tiemens and the dangerous hitting cleanup hitter, Calvin Spoolstra. It was a frustrating loss for the Crusaders, which had rolled past a strong Ontario team, 10-3, in its semi-final game.

The Panthers scored three runs in the first inning without the benefit of a hit, then made them stand up the rest of the way. Chuck Severns and Wayne Reed opened up with walks before a balk by Valley Christian pitcher Darrell Brux- woort moved both men into scoring position. Severns scored on an in- iield out, Reed taking third. Weyland followed by reaching first base when hit by a pitch then Scaife delivered his clutch two-run single. The Panthers got a man on base in every other inning except the seventh, but never threatened to score again.

ing in three others to Chatsworth High School to the 1968 championship. Hug was all that the capacity house had come to see, and the amazing thing is that he will still be a high school competitor in 1970! The young Chancellor not only led the way to his school's first city title in any sport and broke the high-point record for an individual he did it at only half power. Few in attendence were aAvare of it, but an injury earlier in the week had almost kept him from participating at all. "We didn't know until the last minute whether be able to make it," said his mother following the meet. "I injured it- (his wrist) practicing Tuesday," said Hug, who explained in bis soft-spoken delivery that he hadn't used his limb until the first event of the night.

"Rusty Mitchell (former 013 mpian and now coach at the University of New Mexico) advised me not even to work out ahead of i and it turned out real well," added Hug. Hug ended iip winning three events, and earning second, third and fifth-place finishes in three others for points to easily capture the Martin Trieb Memorial trophy for the individual high scorer in the meet. His figure also snapped the city standard, of 28 points set by Juan Sanquez two years ago and broke the sophomore mark of 22 points set by Makato Sakamoto in 1963. Teammate Doug Varga's second place on the rings gave Chatsworth an easy team victory i points, way ahead of- second place Garfield (17 points) and Fremont (15 points.) Hug won in free exercise, on side horse and on the parallel bars, and his most satisfying and electrifying event was the side horse. His routine polled an 9.4 average from the judges for the highest score of the night.

Ironically, the event is among the most tasying on the wrists so the question was the obvious one. "Yes it was Tery painful," answered Hng, "but I always do better when I'm scared and I was afraid I wouldn't be able fo do a good job for all the Chatsworth kids that were expecting big things from me." The only other Valley win in the meet--and he had to share that--came when Jim Farcello gave the defending champions Reseda something to shcut about in tumbling. Farcello led off with a spectacular double backflip that he negotiated on his first trip, and polled 8.95 to tie Dorsey's James Cross for first place. Two of the other victories during the night were captured by Fremont's William Hale, who put on quite a show of raw strength to capture both the rope climb and the rings. Other wins wre by Fairfax's Richard Sole the lone horse and Sonth Ted Srha ftrsmwi.
