Red Deer Advocate from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada • 7

The Red Deer Advocate, Thursday, September 30, 1971 PAGE SEVEN It all comes down to one game maybe two as Giants have clinched at least a tie Broncs lead after blasting Innisfail By DANNY RODE Ponoka Broncs took over sole possession of first place and the Wetaskiwin Sabres moved out of the basement as a result of two games in the Central Alberta High School Football League Wednesday. At Ponoka, the Broncs overpowered the Innisfail Ocelots 53-0 for their third consecutive win and first place while in Lacombe the Wetaskiwin Sabres took a share of fourth place in the league with a 14-6 win over the Rams. It was the first win for the Sabres after two defeats while the Rams suffered their second loss against one win. 'The winless Ocelots are in last place in the conference. Quarterback Marley Oness led the Broncs with three touchdowns and a convert.

Don Jess added two majors, two converts and two singles while Rich Bowie, Don Bertamini, and Randy Vandersteen also had majors. Bowie opened the first of his touchdowns in the second quarter on a 10-yard run and Bertamini's 40-yard romp and a convert by Oness ended the first half scoring. Jess got both of his majors, third quarter, both coming on passes from Oness. He converted A his first a 30-yard effort but the convert on the second was wide. Vandersteen caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Oness to leave the Broncs ahead 40-0 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS After 161 games of the regular season, the hectic National League's West Division pennant race boils down to one game or possibly two.

The 162-game schedule reaches its climax tonight, with San Francisco Giants holding a precarious one-game lead over Los Angeles Dodgers. A San Francisco victory over the Padres at San Diego or a Dodger loss at home against Houston Astros would make the Giants champions and send them into the NL playoffs against Pittsburgh Pirates, beginning Saturday on the West Coast. However, a Giant setback and a Dodger victory would leave the teams in a tie for the lead and force a one-game playoff Friday at San Francisco. The Giants, who have led since April 12, muffed an opportunity to clinch the title Wednesday night, bowing to San Diego 4-1 on "Nate Colbert's three-run homer in the 10th inning. However, they were assured of no worse than a tie for first place when the Dodgers were trounced by Houston 11-0.

EXPOS BEAT CUBS Montreal defeated Chicago 6-5 in the only other National League game. The Giants will use their ace right-hander, Juan Marichal, 17-11, against San Diego's Dave Roberts, a tough left-hander with a 14-16 record, in an attempt to win their first title since 1962. However, Marichal has been seeing a doctor about a sore hip and the injury could after three quarters. Oness went 30 and six yards for the final two majors of the game and Jess added another convert in the fourth quarter to end the rout. Ponoka had 14 first downs, compared to Innisfail's six, and had 382 yards net offence on 90 yards passing and 292 yards rushing.

Ocelots earned 49 yards passing and 44 yards rushing. In Lacombe, the Wetaskiwin defence kept the Rams off the score board until late in the fourth quarter to preserve the Sabres' first victory. Don Swanson on a 20-yard run in the first quarter and Murry Lidgett on a 35-yard scamper in the fourth insured the win. A single by Swanson and the convert on Swanson's major rounded out the scoring. The Sabres picked up 210 yards on the ground for their total offence while the Rams had 105 yards rushing and 82 yards through the air.

Wetaskiwin had 11 first downs compared to the Rams' six. The next games in the league are Sunday when Innisfail goes to Wetaskiwin and Red Deer visits Stettler to take on the defending league champion Wildcats.

Marichal is 3-0 against the Padres this season, while Roberts is 0-3 against the Giants.

Los Angeles' imperturbable manager, Walt Alston, took the Dodgers' defeat as calmly as could be expected. "They just beat the hell out of us," he said. "But it's no worse than losing 1-0. It also was nice to have the Giants lose, but we're still disgusted with our own score." Alston will send right-hander Don Sutton, 16-12, against former Dodger Jack Billingham, 10-15, in tonight's windup. JOHNSON VICTIMIZED Colbert, San Diego's big slugger, said he hit an inside, belthigh fastball off Giants' relief ace, Jerry Johnson, 12-9, over the left field wall in the 10th in- NATE COLBERT Giant wrecker ning for his 27th homer of the season, breaking a 1-1 deadlock.

Tommy Dean started the Padres' winning rally with a leadoff single off Johnson, who had relieved starter John Cumberland with two out in the fifth inning. Don Mason forced Dean, but John Jeter reached first and Mason was safe at second when Tito Fuentes dropped shortstop Chris Speier's throw on an attempted force play on Jeter's grounder. Then, Colbert ended it. Clay Kirby went the distance for San Diego and held the Giants to seven hits for his 15th victory- -most by a Padre pitcher in the club's three-year history. He struck out 11.

"Normally I don't get nervous before a game," he said. "But walking out to the mound against the Giants, I felt the pressure. Even though it didn't mean anything to us, I felt like we were in the pennant race." Kirby was tough in the clutch, stranding 11 San Francisco runners, including seven in the first three innings. BONDS INJURED The Giants scored only in the seventh on a run-producing single by Dave Kingman, who had replaced injured right fielder Bobby Bonds in the sixth. Bonds left the game with a painful rib injury and was a doubtful starter for tonight's game.

Houston unleashed a 16-hit assault against Los Angeles, including a homer and two singles by Bob Watson in support of Ken Forsch's nine-hit shutout pitching. The Astros erupted for four runs in the first inning against 20-game winner Al Downing. Watson singled in the first run, Jesus Alou doubled in another and Larry Howard capped the outburst with a two-run single. Watson homered with one on in the fourth for a 6-0 lead and the Astros added two runs in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh. Ron Hunt, who had set a major league record when he was hit by a pitch for the 50th time this season in the second inning by Chicago's Milt Pappas, delivered a run-scoring single in the ninth to lift Montreal past the Cubs.

Chicago's Billy Williams drove in four runs with a pair of two-run homers. Cougars wallop Bentley for third straight win Camille J. Lerouge Cougars humiliated Bentley 57-0 at Great Chief Park Wednesday for their third win of the season in the Central Alberta High School Nine-man Football League. Bentley has lost all three of its games this season. Tim Polutnik led the Cougars onslaught with six touchdowns and three converts while Larry Anderson, Ray Hilsenteger and quarterback Randy Boucher added single majors.

Its image is polished somewhat by the showing made by three rookies at the National Hockey League training camp of Toronto Maple Leafs. John Grisdale of Michigan Tech, Murray Heatley, of the University of Wisconsin and Brian St. John of the University of Toronto are the players who have impressed Leaf officials. Heatley and St.

John have been assigned to Tulsa Oilers of the Central League for seasoning, but Grisdale remains as a strong candidate for the big Sports round-up Ruling irks Angels The general manager of the California Angels says an arbitration board ruling that the club must pay the salary of suspended outfielder Alex Johnson is "completely without justification." Johnson himself says, "I don't consider it a victory at all." General manager Dick Walsh called the ruling inconsistent and asked: "If Johnson was not responsible for his actions, why allow the fines to stand? If he was, why not uphold the suspension?" Johnson said he is confident he will resume his baseball career but "probably not, more than likely not," with California. Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Players' Association, and a member of the arbitration panel, said the finding is historic. "It means that a man who is emotionally disturbed is just as ill as one who has sustained an injury or has an ailment."

Polutnik then went on a scoring spree with four consecutive majors all on the run a 15- yarder in the first quarter, an 80-yarder in the second, and a 25-yard and a 15-yard run in the third quarter.

He added his other two majors in the fourth on 20 and 35-yard runs. Hilsenteger and Boucher also had majors in the fourth. CJL ended the game with first downs compared to Bentley's one.

Even so, Jim Gregory, Leafs' general manager, has some 1 reservations. "For the past three or four years we have all been scouting college teams. It doesn't matter to me where a player comes from," he said Wednesday.

"But my beef is with the rules. They make it difficult for a college player to adapt to the professional game," Gregory added. "People say the rules must be all right because several players have come into the NHL from colleges," he continued. "But I wonder how many more would be coming in if the rules were different." College hockey forbids bodychecking in the opponents' zone and this is one of the rules that gripes Gregory, But the scene is changing and Grisdale provides a good example of a player who enjoys bodily contact, despite an apprenticeship in college ranks.
