The Houston Athletic Council, which sponsors the annual dinner, also honored American League Cy Young Award winner Roger Clem ens of the Boston Red Sox for his re cord-setting 20 strikeout perfor mance last season against Seattle. Scott became the first pitcher to throw a pennant-clinching no-hitter Sept. 25 when he blanked San Fran cisco and gave the Astros their sec ond Western Division title. Scott, 18-10 last season, led the major leagues with 306 strikeouts and a 2.22 earned run average. He became the fourth pitcher in NL his tory to surpass the 300-strikeout pla teau. Scott had 10 or more strikeouts in 10 games and set a personal high of 14 against San Diego on Sept. 14. He said he had not thrown a pitch since a post-season exhibition tour in Japan. “I’ll just start working now with the light weights and concentrate on April 6 (the season opener),” Scott said. Young Award earlier, had an equally glittering performance in winning the American League honor. Clemens started the season with 14 straight victories and finished with a 24-4 record to lead the AL in victories. He was only the third pitcher to win the award unani mously. Clemens also became the first starting pitcher in 15 years to win the AL Most Valuable Player Award. Lanier made an immediate im pression on the Astros, taking them from also-ran status to the Western Division crown in his first season as manager. Lanier put 20 years of playing and managing experience to work, and the Astros jumped out with a record 14 victories in April and were con tenders the rest of the season, clinch ing the title Sept. 25 with Scott’s no hitter. “Last year maybe I saw some things in our players that others didn’t see,” Lanier said. “That’s why I thought we would win more games than others were predicting for us. “It’s going to De hard to repeat, but we just plan to deal with the posi tives from last season and not let that worry us,” Lanier said.

QUEBEC (AP) — After winning a fast-paced thriller against the Sovi ets’ best, what can the NHL All-Stars do for an encore? Play again tonight, which they will do. “This series is not over yet,” said Edmonton’s Mark Messier, voted the star of the game after Wednesday night’s dramatic 4-3 victory over the Soviet Union’s national team in their two-game Rendez-Vous 87 series. “Friday’s game is a big test. We will have to be more prepared be cause the Soviets will be more pre pared.” Game One. “We couldn’t put a game plan together.” In this series involving many of the world’s greatest hockey players, the NHL team beat the supposedly superior Soviets largely on emotion. This translated into a big de fensive effort against what many consider the best hockey team in the world. 9 m m WESTERN WEAR i I LEVI COWBOY CUT 557 JEAN-| ym It was a lack of preparedness that cost the Soviets the first game, according to Soviet Coach Victor Tikhonov. “We didn’t know what the NHL was going to do,” he said in assessing On Wednesday night at Le Col- isee, the All-Stars played a disci plined defensive game, picking up men all over the ice and jamming them into the boards. That will be the best way to beat the Soviets Friday night, too, the NHL players agreed. “With your face against the glass, it’s hard to make a good play,” said Montreal’s Rick Green, who repeat edly slammed Soviet forwards to the barriers Wednesday night. Despite all that jamming, the con test night was relatively anger-free. There were no fights, and only five penalties were called. Four were called against the All-Stars by Soviet referee Nikolai Morosov for hook ing. The only penalty called against the Soviets was by NHL linesman Ronn Finn. Morosov had been criticized in the past for prejudicial officiating, but NHL players did not think that was the case Wednesday night. “I thought the officiating was fair,” said Philadelphia’s Dave Pou lin, who scored the winning goal. In the past 11 years, the Soviets’ record had been 33-16-4 against NHL teams prior to the Rendez vous series.
