Jack Morris key in 1985 for World Champ Tigers

By Pete Fritchie LAKELAND, FLA. - Jack Morris has been the top pitcher for the Detroit Tigers for six years. He’s won the big games, more than any other Tiger. Last year he won two of the four World Series games. He won the opening playoff game. He pitched a no-hitter. He’s pitched more innings than any other Tiger for six years. Years ago Reggie Jackson called him the best right-hander in the league. So was Morris last year’s most valuable player in the American League? Was he the Cy Young winner? Was he the World Series’ most valuable player? Was he the playoff’s most valuable? Was he Tiger of the year? Or "Sporting News” American League pitcher of the year? None. Many of these were won, understandably, by Willie Hernandez, the super relief pitcher. Hernandez deserved them. Yet Morris deserved more recognition. Morris is a remarkably unaffected young man out of Brigham Young University, 30 in May, happily married with two sons. Last year, in midseason, the elbow of his pitching (right) arm tightened (That was the one glimmer of hope for clubs trailing the Tigers.) In several games opposing clubs scored a number of runs; this probably cost Morris 1984 team ERA honors as a starter-won by Dan Petry. Since he has had shoulder trouble also in years gone by, a question this year is Morris* arm. The answer to that question could decide whether Detroit repeats. “They didn’t score that

many runs against me,” Morris laughed, “when asked about his mid-season slump. But that period just before the All-Star game was not the real Morris, and he knows it. “I had a hyperextended elbow. I had never had that before,” he admitted, now serivus. With such a big lead, why didn’t management rest him before the All-Star game, when his trouble first appeared? “They didn’t rush me,” Morris said. Yet he started the All-Star game with a slightly suspect elbow, typical of Morris’ character, and pitched well. “I was out two weeks; they gave me a rest,” he added. “The arm came along real good.” He went on to finish strong, beating Kansas City in the first playoff game with a 5-hitter, following up with eight innings of shutout pitching against San Diego in the first World, Series game and a 5-hitter in game four. The writer asked Morris about his arm th-

day. “It feels real good,” he said. “Not perfect, but good.” How that arm fares might decide whether Detroit 1 wins another pennant this year, and Morris appropriate recognition. v> r> ONE MINUTE SPORTS QUIZ 1.

KIWANIS SPEAKER — Dr. Kenneth Webster, superintendent of Lakeland Community Schools, receives a certificate of appreciation from Dan Brown, Milford Kiwanis vice president, for speaking on school challenges last week.

Dr. Webster speaks to Milford Kiwanis Club

Dr. Kenneth Webster, superintendent of Lakeland Community School System, had the attention of all present last Friday morning when he spoke to the Milford Kiwanis Club. He spoke of the “opportunities we have to deal with.” The superintendent spoke first on the subject of overcrowded conditions at Syracuse Junior high and Elementary Schools. He stated that to add eight or 10 classrooms to the Syracuse school would not be the most costeffective solution to the problem. “Milford and North Webster have empty classrooms,” he said. “So let’s take a look at rezoning to balance the numbers at the three schools.” The second topic raised by Dr. Webster was the possible changing of the name, Lakeland Community School System. He said Lakeland Schools is also used in LaGrange and he has been told that in years past this has caused problems for both school systems. All present were asked to complete a survey form which they were given, to “vote” on the following choices: 1. Keep the present name of Lakeland Community School System. 2. Change the name of the school system to Wawasee School System. 3. Submit your choice of name for the school system. Dr. Webster said this is a public opinion survey and he wants to get a feeling from each communiContinue to investigate hit-skip Police officers in Syracuse are continuing their investigation into two hit/skip incidents on Thursday March 21. Norris D. Wise, (401 E. Chicago St., Syracuse, contacted police at 6 p.m„ Thursday when he found his parked vehicle had been damaged at the left door and rear side panel. The vehicle was parked in the parking lot of Louis Bar and Grill. Damage was estimated at S3OO. Terry Horan, 418 E. Boston St., Syracuse, notified police at 6:32 a.m. Thursday when he found his 1976 Ford truck had been struck while parked at his residence. Horan told police that at approximately 10:30 p.m. Wednesday evening he heart a noise in front of his house but did not find the damaged vehicle until Thursday morning. Damage to the front bumper was estimated at SIOO.

ty for guidance before pro- . ceeding. The public is encouraged to attend a community meeting in the Milford school cafeteria on March 27 at 7:30 p.m. at which these topics will be discussed. In order to increase communication with parents, the Lakeland Community School board meetings are being held in various schools. Dr. Webster said he is very pleased that 98 people attended the last meeting in Milford. “Something I have found in my short time here is that people have a great deal of pride in their schools,”he commemted.“The support of our school activities is excellent. Our school athletic events, music programs, drama programs and all social events are always well attended by local people. We even had some 200 spectators watch a fifth grade basketball tourney a few weeks ago. The support is really appreciated and shows the type people we have in our communities.” Wildlife Federation program Randy Mast, past president of the Indiana Wildlife Federation described their activities to the Lakeland Kiwanis Club in North Webster last Monday morning. Mast explained that the federation encourages protection and restoration of our natural resources and promotes high standards of sportsmanship. The federation, in existence since 1960' is g non-profit, nongovernmental organization supported by membership fees and donations from business and professional clubs and individuals. The federation promotes an extensive educational program by, providing kits of materials for use by teachers in the classroom. This year 10,000 kits were distributed to Indiana schools. An example of the work of the federation was its efforts to cooperate with Michigan to control pollution in the St. Joseph . River in Michigan and Indiana. Continued pollution would‘have endangered the Twin Branch Hatchery in the South Bend area. The Indiana Wildlife Federation works closely with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Indiana General Assembly, the national government and conservsation clubs to strengthen and protect the natural resources.
