The Under 16 Football Team FRONT ROW: Grady, Scott, Johnston, Peart I, Cantle, Sims, Taylor I, Lyall, Timmins. CENTRE ROW: MacFarlane II, Milner, Carswell, MacWUliams, McMurchy II, Henkel, Gall I, Labrie, Fleming, Rachmaninoff I, Cameron, Mr. Kenney. BACK ROW: Katz, Norman, McAlister, Cutler, Maslon, Browne, Hodge. Our first game, against TCS, exem- plified the style of play for the dura- tion of our season. Twice we fumbled the ball from nervousness and the score at the end of the first half (0-13) reflected this. In the latter half of the game, however, touch- downs by Peart, Taylor, and Henkel turned the score in our favour. We lost three of our seven games. UCC proved a powerful adversary and, in rainy weather, we went down to a bad defeat. Our other two losing games were much closer, our opponents being Ridley and Lakefield. Although we lost to Ridley once, in our other game against them we won 12-7, despite our unfavourable (0-7) showing in the first half. An 80 yard pass by Cantle to Brown pro- duced the winning touchdown. Victory was again ours in a game with TCS. Katz, McAlister, and Taylor each scored a touchdown, and good runs by Cantle and Taylor kept our strong drive going. Our final game against SAC was our best and most rewarding contest. Tremendous runs by Burn, Taylor, and and Cantle, and a concerted effort by our defense, were crushing to SAC. Burn himself got three touchdowns and Taylor one. Fleming showed himself to be a power-runner , fol- lowing the example of these other players, but unfortunately SAC had the middle well contained.

In our final game of the regular sea- son we played SAC at home. During our first series of plays we moved the ball well, while Campbell and Mann worked the ends. We could not pene- trate the twenty yard line however. Robertson scored a touchdown though, on a power sweep. Our last game of the season was against the Old Boys. Scoring but once on a 65 yard pass and run play , from Robertson to Jennings, the Old Boys had the game for the fifth con- secutive year. All factors considered, it was a better season than the scores might indicate. Despite many injuries, poor weather, and a very inexperi- enced squad, we showed a keen interest and good spirit for the game. Much credit is due to the untiring efforts of our coaches. Messrs Smith and Abbott, and to our team mana- ger, Naish. Contrary to the situation at the end of the 1971 season, twenty- two of our players plan to return ne-xt year. Perhaps then the score- board will be changed in our favour.

Credit is due to the defence as they were very awesome in containing the opposition. Simrns and Timmins delivered crushing tackles and Katz surprised many an adversary with his swiftness. The spirit of the team was very high. Crosbie was our real forte in this as- pect of competition. Gratitude from the defence goes to Pickle Macfarlane for his help, and from the entire team to Mr. Kenney, our patient coach.
