Lower, Middle Winless; Raiders Maul Mainland

The .goal line stand: for the defense, it may be the most excitng part of any football game At Buena Saturday, both teams came up with defensive stands as Lower Cape May and

Buena played to a 0-0 standoff Early in the second half. Lower fumbled a punt that seemed to open the door for the Chiefs. Buena moved to a five-andgoal situation.

0 but the Caper defense held to keep the scoreboard r, . clean. t In the fourth stanza, r Lower Cape May took its o turn at paydirt. The Capers drove to the Chief s fiveyard line, but fell just short on a fourth-down play. Mike Wing took the handoff and stumbled, falling on the two-yard line. Wing " finished the day with 134 yards rushing on 19 carries. With the setback. Lower fell to 0-2 on the season. MIDDLE TOWNSHIP also slipped to 0 and 2 for the year, following a 13-0 loss to Hammonton. The Panther defense did a fine job, containing the Hammonton running attack but the offense couldn't get anything started.' JUNIOR QUARTERBACK Bob Hicks had a tough day. trying to elude the front four of the Blue Devils. Hicks was sacked six times^ and threw three interceptions. One of the interceptions led to a Hammonton touchdown as Bob NunneviOe took the theft untouched for a 20 yard score. Middle held Hammonton to just 144 total yards. Middle managed just 84 yards. OCEAN CITY came back ' from a hard-fought loss to x Oakcrest to win for the first time, a 14-0 shutout of Mainland. Frank Sayers scored both touchdowns for the Red Raiders. Sayers crashed to end zone from three and 11 yards out. Wildwood took the week off. THEY KEPT KNOCKING at the door, and it finally paid off for Lower Cape May in field hockey. Betsy King scored at the 15-minute mark of the second half to break a i scoreless tie as the Capers topped Hammonton, 1-0. The game-winner was set up by Linda Conover as Lower Cape May remained undefeated with a 3-0-3 slate. In the contest. Lower got off 16 shots on goal to just three for the Blue Devils. Shirley Cruz picked up the shutout for the winners.' Mary Comerford stopped six shots for St. Joseph to lead her squad to a 1-0 win over Middle Township. The only tally came with just six minutes left in the contest. The Panther's record fell to \3r and 2 following the setback. ^/Ocean City slipped to 3-1-1 on the season following a penalty-riddled 2 to l loss to Millville. Sharagay Esposito scored both goals for Millville, one on a penalty corner shot and the other on a penalty stroke. Klaudia Gorman was assisted by Debbie Garvey for the lone Red Raider ■ tally.

I • • • 1 A PENALTY SHOT did in another Ocean City team last week. The boys' socEer ; team fell to Egg Harbor > Township 1-0 on a free shot. Egg Harbor was awarded the free kick after Mark Norwood was pulled down from behind. Mo Travis i made the best of the opportunity. blasting the penalty i kick past Raider goalie i John Spoltore. The loss was the first for Ocean City this season The name of Mark Ingemi will stick in the minds of the Wildwood Catholic soccer players for a while. Ingemi scored three times • for»St Augustine in a 4-3 Hermit victory. After falling behind 2-0 early, the Crusaders came roaring back with Pat MacFarlane and Andy Weis scoring to tie the score. Later. MacFarlane scored his second goal to knot the score, this time at 3-all. With 3 : 45 left in the game Ingemi scored the winner beating Crusader goalie Chris N^Curdy. OCEAN CITY got a first and second from Andy Mayers and Bob Bond in cross country as the Red Raiders blitzed Millville 18-45. O.C. took seven of the ^/top 10 spots in the contest, raising its record to 5 and l . Wildwood Catholic and Middle Township both fell to 0 and 4 for the year with losses last week. The Crusaders fell to Sacred Heart 15-40 and the Panthers dropped a match Buena 17-46. In other action, Ross Hoffnagle finished first for Wildwood, but it wasn't enough as the Warriors fell to St. Augustine 25-31. REMARKS: I never thought I would do it, but I feel sorry for Philadelphia Eagle quarterback Ron Jaworski. That man has to put up with a lot now that the Eagles can't give him any protection. In Sunday's loss to Washington, Jaws hit the ground every time he went back to pass. When he did get the ball off, the guy at the other end dropped it. It sure is going to be a long year for the Birds. Now that we are in the middle of the baseball playoffs, it's time to look at the winners of the popularity contests. (Most valuable player and Cy Young Award winners ) . In the National League, I pick Mike Schmidt for MVP and Rick Sutcliffe for Cy Young. Schmidt had a good year that nobody paid any attention to because of the Cubs and the Cubs are the Cubs because of Sutcliffe. In the American League, Kent Hrbek is my choice for MVP and Mike Bod dicker for the Cy Young. Hrbek had a great year

for the Twins leading that team to heights that should have scared them. On a team that should have been more competitive this season, Mike Boddicker won 20 games and finished second in the league in ERA for the Orioles. Dwight Gooden will get plenty of votes for the Cy Young Award and the reason is that he plays for a New York team. He is a rookie who led the league in strikeouts and everyone knows it. But did you know a rookie led the American League in strikeouts? His

name is Mark Langston and he doesn't play for a New York team — be plays for Seattle.
