T. says you can ebpect the following heads to roll before Christmas: Scotty Bowmanâ€"Montreal Canadiens â€"coach: #f â€" So what if the Habs have won three Stanley Cups in a row. Only 97 per cent of the knowledgeable hockey fans in North America say Montreal has the Cup wap this year. The Molâ€" sons owe it to that 3 per cent of their loyal fans to find a suiâ€" table replacement. i * Hugh Campbellâ€"Edmonton Eskimos coach: So what if he led the secondâ€"best team in the CFL to the Grey Cup championship this year. Eskimos haven‘t won a bloody game since. Get rid of him. _Bob Lemonâ€"New York Yankee coach: So what if he took over a team racked with dissension and led it from 10% games back to the American league penâ€" nant? So what if he won the world championship. Under his leadership the insults and fistfights stopped. The New York press can‘t stand the harmony on the club, so out he goes. Why wait for 19807 Tom Landryâ€"Dailas Cowboys coach: So what if he‘s won three Super Bowls.

To add insult to injury, coach Marcel Pronovost was also given the bum‘s rush. Absolutely ludicrous moves, all three. Well fans, that‘s just the tip of the iceberg as far as firings go. You see, I received a letter in the mail the other day from a chap named T. Moaner, who says there are many more ‘axes to fall in the coming weeks. It‘s a typical Buffalo move.

"It was a real shame." But Raiders are still agonâ€" izing over the one that got away. Southmount won the championship by. edging Sarnia Central 47â€"44 in a tight defensive battle. In opening game action Friday the Raiders had eventual champion Hamilâ€" ton Southmount on the ropes but suffered a letdown late in the game and lost a tight decision, relegating them to the consolation side. Champ Gilassfordâ€"Waterioo Tigers general manager Gary jeffriesâ€"Waterige Tigers field manager: So what if they assembled one of the most competitive teams in the Interâ€"County Major baseball league. So what if they did it in one year. So what if their expansion club had a 500 record when teams which have been in the league for years struggled to make the same. The problem here is, they are two of the smartest, nicest men you‘d ever want to meet. What kind of combination is that to run a baseball team? Gwan, get out of here. â€" Glen Moeserâ€"Wateriloo CHYM‘rs field manager: So what if he won an Interâ€"City title last year with the best allâ€"around organization in the Twin City area.

In the final Urosevic had 21 and Jerome Kirby 16. Urosevic, along with Phil Jarrett of Bluevale Knights, was named to the tourâ€" nament allâ€"star team. Jarrett had 24 points in an opening game victory over Kipling (60â€"49), but he and the rest of the Knights lost their shooting edge against Sarnia, losing 56â€"38. **Sarnia is an excellent team, they‘re ahead of us at this time of year,"‘ said Bluevale coach George Hunsberger. "But there‘s no question in my mind we could play with them later in the season. ‘‘Right now we‘ve got Phil who‘s outstanding and Rich daSilva who‘s also a definite threat. But we have to work on a more disciplined offenâ€" se and defense so that each guy on the floor knows exâ€" actly what they‘re responâ€" sible for."
