Teams Fight For Title
The professional baseball
season is drawing to a close
and the penant drives are on.
There is going to be a tight
race in all the divisions. With
not much time left there
should be some wUd and wooly
finishes. There are three
teams with a chance of being
number one in the American
League East. Two teams are
battli^ for the top spot in the
American League West. The
National League East has two
teams fighting for top honors.
In the National League West
there is a two team race.
Baltimore, Boston and
New York will be fighting it
out in the A.L. East.
Baltimore has good hitting
and solid defense. The pit
ching staff should be strong
right down to the wire. Boston
has a mixture of young and
old. Pitching should be
strong. New York doesn’t get
many homers nowadays, but
the Yanks get timely hits.
Pitching is a question mark.
Oakland is the team to
beat in the A.L. West. Texas
thinks they can overtake
Oakland. Oakland has a
perfect blend of speed, hitting
and pitching. The Athletics
can do it all. Texas can hit the
ball good, and their pitching
staff has done an excellent
job. Defense is the question
mark for the Rangers.
Pittsburgh and St. Louis
are in a dog fight for the top of
the N.L. East. st. Louis has
great speed. They can hit
also. Pitching is a question.
Pittsburgh can play good
defense and hit. If the pit
ching holds up the Bucs will go
down to the wire with St.
Louis.
LA and Cincinnati are
evenly matched in every
category. They both can rip
the cover off the ball. Both
have good speed. They have
! solid pitching staffs also.
Who will win that is the
question? You make your
choices and see if you are
right.

JOCK JOTS
Sara Jane Collier
Perhaps a time-out should be taken here to explain again the
meaning of the term “Jock Jots.” A jock is an athelte who can
walk, talk ,and chew gum at the same time. Therefore, “Jock
Jots” is about people of the jockular persuasion. Much to the
dismay of the RMSH athletic department, “Jock Jots” will be a
continuous feature. You lose big.
A Senior High girl, who shall remain nameless, always tries
to sit behind the goalposts at football games. It’s the only way,
she explains, that she sees so many men running straight at her.
Howard Twilley, wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins,
opened a shoe store. The name? The Athlete’s Foot.
One day, while flawlessly executing my hook-shot on my
backyard basketball goal, I turned to an innocent bystander and
said, “Wouldn’t you say that I was as least as good as Moses
Malone?”
“Well, I’d say that you were more like one-tenth as good as
Malone,” he said.
“That’s fine with me. The Utah Stars think that Malone is
worth $3 million. If I’m one-tenth as good as Malone, then I should
be $300,000 richer!”
It’stw hot for football.
Steve i-artm and Mike Pollard, two stalwarts of the football
team, were spotted playing footall with several girls a few Sun
days back. Practicing their tackling techniques, no doubt. Partin
let a long pass go, and it got caught in the branches of a tree.
Well, at least it didn’t land in the arms of the opposition, as so
many Gryphon passes have.
The Denver Broncos of the NFL hold hands in the defensive
huddle. No comment.
THE GRYPHON has enlarged its sports department this year
in order to bring better coverabe of all Gryphon athletics.
Members of this year’s sports staff are: Bill Matthews, Teresa
Mosely, Corbi Bullock, Ben Currin, Virginia Culpepper, Wade
Bryant, and Sara Jane Collier. The Gryphon Sports Department
strives for complete objectivity and honest opinions will be ex
pressed. Letters to the Sports Editor are encouraged, and will be
printed if in good taste.
And so it goes!
