Hot boot a godsend

TORONTO (CP) — The return to peak form of veteran
punter Hank Ilesic has been a godsend to the Toronto
Argonauts.

With the least productive offence in all of the Canadian
Football League so far this season, the Argos have time and
again relied on Ilesic’s kicking foot to gain advantageous

The Argos, 7-4, have a comfortable hold on first place in
the Eastern Division an offence that has gained a league-low
2,818 yards and a defence that has given up 3,967 yards.
second worst in the league. The East's worst team, the
last-place Montreal Alouettes, have gained 450 more yards
than the frontrunning Argos.

Enter Ilesic. He's punted 104 times for 5,142 yards. his
49.3-yard average is the best in the league. His longest punt
has been 88 yards and that, too, is a league best. The Argos
have averaged 10 yards more than either opponent on each
punt and 10 yards more on kickoffs, another department
Tesic leads in.

“His worth to the team is something that the average
fan doesn't appreciate,” says head coach Bob O'Billovich.
“The average fan doesn't think about field position

“That's what Hank gives us. He's been having an out
standing year.”

IN 10th SEASON

Ilesic, 27, is in his 10th CFL season. The 49.3-yard
average — slightly below the league record of 50.2 by B.C.'s
Lui Passaglia — is the highest of a career that began in
Tlesic’s home town of Edmonton in 1977. He moved from high
school football directly to the pros and participation in the
Eskimos’ five consecutive Grey Cup triumphs.

During his six seasons with the Eskimos, Ilesic was

selected the CFL's all-star punter four times. For punting
average, his best year in Edmonton was 1978 when he
averaged 47.3.

The Argos puchased Ilesic’s contract from the Eskimos
in May 1983. His punting average gradually declined — 44.5
in "83, 44.2 in "84 and 43.8 last season.

Toronto tried to turn Ilesic into a field goal kicker and
he led the Eastern Division in scoring in 1984. But the
experiment failed last year when he tore cartilage in his
right knee. He had been good on 59 of 93 field goal attempts.
The Argos decided to bring in Lance Chomyc to kick field
goals and let Ilesie concentrate on punting.

INJURY A ?

Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that | got injured,”
llesic says. “With Lance here, I don’t have to practice field
goals and that saves my leg for the games.

“It's easier physically and it's easier mentally, too.
Kicking field goals takes a lot more concentration. It's quite
the load off your shoulders.”

llesic credits the healing of his knee and five days of
training in Reno, Nev., from punting specialist Ray Pelfrey,
for helping him regain his old form this season.

“That was the first time in my life I ever had coaching. I
think Toronto made back the cost of the trip a couple of
times over.”

Brits to get taste
of pro baseball

LONDON (AP) — With North American football
firmly established as a cult sport in a country where

soccer and cricket itis rule, professi: baseball
is about to make its pitch on British television screens
with seven programs covering the World Series.

The broadcasts begin Oct. 5 with what organizers
describe as “an idiot's guide to baseball,” and run through
Oct. 28, two days after the scheduled seventh World
Series game.

Another show will wrap up the league playoffs, with
the Series encapsulated in five shows.

‘The programs are being shown on Channel 4, this
country’s newest independent network, which spawned
the current British football craze when it began screening
weekly highlights of National Football League games in
1982.

Weekly ratings of the slick, 75-minute Sunday night
program frequently top the four-million mark.

So popular has pro football become in Britain that a
preseason game between the Super Bowl-champion
Chieago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys last month sold
out 80,000-seat Wembley Stadium.

Now, Cheerleader Productions, which produces the
football shows for Channel 4, has been asked to put on
edited baseball highlights.

SURE OF APPEAL

The company’s executive producer, Derek Brandon,
is confident that baseball will attract a wide audience.

“Baseball may not have the spectacular razzmatazz
of football, but it is a better sport, more subtle and more
satisfying,” Brandon said. “For that reason, I think it will
take off.”

On New Year's Day, Channel 4 screened consecutive
90-minute programs on U.S. pro football andpaseball, the
first time the latter had been aired in Britain.

we have eve!
response. We got tons of letters as!
baseball.”

The baseball shows will last either 60 or 90 minutes
and some will appear in edited form on British TV within
hours of their conclusion.

EXPLAINS RULES

Martin Tyler, a well-know British sports commen-
tator and a keen baseball fan, will be the host for the
shows. In the first, Tyler will explain the rules of baseball
before showing viewers highlights of the all-star game
that was held in July ;

Presentation of the World Series games is proving a
problem for Brandon and his crew since the location of
the cities will not be known until just before the World
Series.

Cheerleader hasn't decided if it will use American
film or British crews, but the American play-by-play will
be used.

“I feel very strongly about this,” Brandon said. “To
have anyone else would kill the excitement and
atmosphere.”

Baseball in Britain dates back to 1874 when a touring
U.S. team ventured onto the hallowed turf of Lord's
cricket ground. It even flourished in the 1930s when
Britain had a semi-professional league that attracted
thousands of fans, but the league died out during the
Second World War

Today, the sport is strictly amateur but interest is
growing again, wtih about 50 senior teams split into five
regional leagues.

black-and-white film and will develop it for publication.
We will also lend out a camera for picture taking upon

“Last year's seminar went
so well that we had to include
it again in this year's eurricu-
lum,” said Ron Woodward,
head of the department and
instructor of the Electronic
Publishing option

Students in Electronic
Publishing and other options
within the program, will
participate in discussions
with professional book de-
signers, editors, publishers
and booksellers to gain an
insight into how the pub-
lishing industry operates and
how they might apply their
college training to positions
in the industry.

The seminar started today
with Woodward presenting
an introduction to book pro-
duction and offset printing

He was followed by Julian
Ross, publisher of Polestar
Press, a cottage publishing
operation located in the Slo-
can Valley

The third speaker of the
afternoon was Jacque Hamil
ton, manager of Selkirk Col
lege’s bookstore, who talked
about the role of the book
seller and the importance of
textbooks in the publishing
industry

Seminar participants have
been encouraged to attend
the lecture tonight by Mel
Hurtig, Edmonton based
publisher and outspoken
Canadian nationalist, who is
lecturing on the free trade
issue.

“Hurtig’s lecture on free
trade will be of particular
interest to those in the pub-
lishing industry,” Woodward
said. “The ramifications for
the flow of printed materials
and information are stag
gering under free trade as it
is proposed.”

The seminar resumes
