The club was 16-2 in regular season action and then went undefeated through eight games of a rotmd-robin format which established .that‘ area’s re- presentatiye.' "r A - - It was obvious for most of the weekend that thetondon team, albeit spunky and spirited, was somewhat lacking in several of the fun- damentals of the game. Dave Drago got the win on the mound for Waterloo Sa- turday, scattering eight hits. It was not his most ef- fective performance of the year, but rarely does Drago have an outing where he loses control of the game and he gave his club the key lead in the series. If a third game had been necessary, it would have been played as the second game of the Sun- day doubleheader in Kensal Park in London. But Optimists got an adequate pitching effort from Jeff Schaefer and managed 10 runs off only five hits to put the series away in straight games. Schaefer struck out only one batter but allowed only one run after the third inning. Meanwhile, his mates took advantage of 11 walks and added some timely hitting to build up their total. “l was hesitant to start Jeff (Schaefer) on the road because he doesn't have overpowering stuff, he needs those corners." said Puncher, "And if we get an umpHvho isn't calling the corners and Jeff has to serve it right over the plate, we could get in trouble. But we didn't have that prob- lem,” Optimists jumped, into a T 0 first-inning lead, then saw it evaporate as London scored two in the second and three in the third. But it was kitty-bar-the-door from'that point and Waterloo reas- sumed the lead with two tttree-run upnsmgs In the later Innings All of Waterloo':; hits were singles - except a 2aat. worthy of your confidence.

Near the end of the half, Otto scored again, this time on passes from Walt Bazy- lewicz and Bob de Groot. In a more evenly-played second half, Guelph developed some threatening attacks. Full-backs Sahwn Mathers, Rainer Pade and Art Fast put on a creditable performance in frustrating these attacks. Minutes from the end, a defen- sive error gave Ammanuel Tokerson a breakaway and he scored for Guelph to make it 3-1 at the whistle. Waterloo Athletics 3.
