PAGE 22, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1980, WIIITBY FREE PRESS Henry beat Uxbridge, set to meet Bowmanville By S. GREENAWAY Free Press Staff The Henry Street Hawks extended their winning streak to five games last week defeating Uxbridge 27- 0. This win has maintained the Hawk's hold on first place in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association football league. Hawk's coach Pat Pucknell said the game was well played "despite all our injuries." "I think the team was a bit embarrased by the game against Dunbarton. They beat us physically." "In the game against Ux- bridge they just went out and hit everything in sight." John Paul Aggett got two of the Henry touchdowns and ran the ball for over 150 yeards which, according to Pucknell, was good without the blocking of Peter Sirko who sustained injuries during the Dunbatton game. Paul Luchka scored one TD and Craig Borchuk kicked three conversions. Henry's first defensive touchdown of the year was scored when Gary Shearer dropped on a loose ball in the Uxbridge end zone r6uding out the scoring. "Basically we just capitalized on their mistakes," said Pucknell. The Hawk's final game of the regular season will be played tonight against Bowmanville at the Civic field's in Oshawa, starting at 8:30 p.m. Bowmanville have a record of 4-1, loosing only to Henry. Should Henry win they would finish off the year in first place, however, if they loose, first place would go to the team with the highest points for the year.

This is the fledgling leagues second years in existance. The league, run by Salvatore Palazzolo, com- bines the sportsmanship of actual game play with the teaching of skills by means of short classes held at the beginning of each session. "Last year we just ex- perimented with the rules trying to find the right forumla," said Palazzolo. this year the program is being promoted by the Whit- by Soccer Association. "That means we can have uniforns instead of shirts and skins." This brand of indoor soc- cer is played on a school gymnasium with different zones for each of the three positions, goal tender, for- ward and defence, and one may not stray into the others area. "The idea behind the dif- ferent zones is that we are trying to teach each kid all of the different skills in- volved in the game," he said. "If the kids could pick their own positions they would pick forward because that is where al the goals are scored," he added. One-third of the class time will be spent on the im- provement of a particular skill. Palazzolo said that no previous soccer experience is needed to join the league. "These classes would be helpful for the kids that don't have the skills or the ex- perience and that want to get involved in summer programs." 'he said. Coaches for the classes will be more experienced than they were last year, Palazzolo said. Palazzolo has always been interested in soccer and is currently a teacher at Sir John A. MacDonal Public School in Pickering. Classes will start on Nov- meber 8. Teams will be divided up according to age groups. "I've been trying to get in touch with the Pickering In- door Soccer League and the Ajax Indoor Soccer League trying to arrange games between select teams every now and then." Classes are open to boys 7- il years of age and girls 7-12 years of age. Registration is $15 for at least 15 weeks of play. Al classes will be held in the Whitby Senior Public School's gymnasium, run- ning 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. divided into 1½ hour classes. For more information phone Mrs. Watson at 668- 1209.
