Winning last 5 turns frosh season around THE FRESHMEN hustle for the ball, wherever it is. Seasons change, leaves fall, and a new flock of freshman footballers comes around, adding new prospects for varsity on the roster. Picking a team from all those anxious, rarin'-to-go boys is no easy iob. But after each boy is checked out a team surfaces from those faces. Under the direction of John Hurrle and Rex Marshall, this year the freshman team had a 7-3 record. Strong points showed in an offense, which moved the ball well. Running and scoring of Antonio Rudolph were outstanding. He had 44 points for the season. Ed Cushinberry followed with 32 points. Other outstanding players were Armond Patterson, Ron Johnson, and Cal- vin Lee showing varsity potential. The team did win its last five games with morale picking up as the season contin- ued. Against tough Perry Meridian the Greenclads showed the will to win can tri- umph, they won 14-0. Another outstand- ing game was against Broad Ripple. The Titans won 28-0.

Parochial schools bring reserves defeat Under the direction of coaches Mel Bowers and Francis Knue, the reserve squad had a 5-4 season, losing all four games to parochial schools. Three of the losses were by 2 points. They did win their three last contests, giving them a winning balance. The Celtic Green Gods had a strong defense, backed up by a brilliant passing attack under the quarterbacking of John Gore with IO touchdown passes. On the receiving end of most of those passes was Jackie Thomas. A winning team, says Coach Mel Bowers, consists of strong desire to win, mixed with a good attitude, strong funda- mental football, and a team effort. Coach Francis Knue said about his defensive squad, l'm never satisfied on the job of the defense, unless the score for our opponents is zero. lf you have a good defense, you should go with it. Probably the best game, the last game of the season, was against Perry Meridian. Terry Pritchard crossed the line three times Gary Miller having one touchdown and Jackie Thomas finding pay dirt one time, too. The final score 38-O.

Young varsity runners building fast Riffs' VARSITY AND RESERVE CROSS COUNTRY-FRONT ROW: Michael Webb, Samuel Seals, James Trotter, Michael Grever, Howard Catt, athletic director. SECOND ROW: Herb Alston, Fred Beard, Charles Jackson, Nickey Edwards. THIRD ROW: Bruce McGeath, coach, James Adams, Kenneth Hendrickson, Tom Witsman, Gerald Fowlkes, Willie Strong, Jay Kleine, assistant coach. The Cross Country team this year fin- ished first above .500 for the season, run- ning with a very young team of tour soph- omores, one iunior and one senior. James Trotter, the captain of the team and also the MVP, was the only junior on the squad. James Adams, Nicky Edwards, Herb Alston, and Willie Strong, were all sophomores and Lettermen returning for next year. The Varsity loses Brad Witsman, who was the only senior on the squad. The Varsity improved throughout the season and gained valuable experience with a climax of placing second in the city at the end of the season. Lack of experi- ence did hurt the team. Coach Bruce McGeath felt the team has potential for next year. With the return- ing squad we'll have, we should turn outa highly competitive season-with alittle work! A QUICK LOOK as Tech's Cross Country team, starts one of their dual meets. l CHARLES JACKSON shows running a long time isn't all fun.
