Under 16 Football Unsure of ourselves we ventured on a long journey to Port Hope. In our game with T.C.S. we quickly found that we lacked the greater drive and better blocking that our opponents had. We went down to defeat by 8-12. Our second game, played with Ridley, raised our courage. We stunned them by winning the game 25-12. The game opened up early as we got a touchdown four plays after kick-off. At half-time we led by 12-0. Ridley was not to be beaten so easily and they fought back strongly in the second half, picking up 12 points, but to their dismay we also outscored them in this half 13-12. An exciting game in all respects. Our second encounter with Ridley was also suc- cessful due in part to Andresen ' s punting which gained us single points for the win. When we met Lakefield, the tables were turned. We were demolished by faster, crunching blockers. The score was 2-20. In our final game with T.C .S . we found that both teams had improved tremendously. We capitalized at every op- portunity but still lost 26-32. Our thanks go to Mr. Kenney for his coaching and patience with us through a short, but eventful season. FRONT ROW: Passmore, Jennings 2, Stone, Macleod, Green, Isbister.

Second Team Football Obviously, by looking at our record, the team did not enjoy its losing season. However, the emphasis of every sport, fun and spirit, was always evident in our games. With only two days practice, we scrimmaged against Pickering and play was controlled by our 1st team coaches. We were shown a thing or two by them with their excellent passing, their big size and weight. When we played them in a regulation game, we lost by 2 singles. That game was perhaps the de- fensive game of the season since both defences, on several occasions, put up fine goal-line stands. Our first game was at T.C.S. They controlled the first half by scoring 14 points. However, in the half, a TD pass from Campbell to Mullen was wiped out by a holding penalty. Brian Rapson got our only legitimate TD on an end sweep in the 2nd half. In our second encounter, on home ground, T.C.S. proved they were number one by defeating us 15-8. This was our best performance since the game was wide open until the final whistle and we controlled the ball as much as our opponents did. In our first encounter against Ridley the same old story prevailed as we lost 20-12. The first score was by Campbell and the second resulted from an 80 yard TD pass from Q.B. Gross to Moon Mullen. After building up a 12-0 lead, costly errors gave the Ridley squad the opportunity to take a 13-12 victory on the second encounter of the season. On an unbelieveable scorcher of a day, we lost to S.A.C. by a score of 12-0. Surprisingly enough, we lost to U.C.C. only by an 8-0 score. We all expected a larger score, but our courageous defense kept the opponents at bay. Our offense sagged at the critical moments. Our thanks to Mr. Manbert and our captains who kept our spirits high when the going was most heartbreaking.
