everybody else and were the League Champions was some consolation. Ten days later, we travelled to Ridley and by half- time, it appeared as though we were in for another trouncing. However, in the second half, we began to play together and the final score of 38-21 in Ridley ' s favour did not seem so bad. An exhibition game against Lakefield turned out to be one- sided, and a disappointment for both schools. Our opponents had played a game the previous day, and we could do no wrong. The final score of 62-0 for Ap- pleby was probably unrealistic as a measure of either team ' s true potential. Our next League game was against Hillfield in Hamilton. There was a strong wind blowing, it was cold and had rained most of the night before. Going into the fourth quarter, we were leading 16-14, but Hillfield had the wind and a high spirit in the last fifteen minutes, and they used both to good advantage to score three converted touch- downs and win 35-16. Our last three games were at home and all were exciting and closely contested. Against Trinity, we unfortunately played only half a game - the first half! It is almost painful to admit it, for we were ahead 25-7 at half-time, but we ended up losing 28-25. We threw the game away with fumbles and interceptions. The following weel , we had a very hard fought game with Upper Canada on a slippery, muddy field. They scored the winning touchdown in the last five minutes to win 21-16. And finally, on the last day of our season, we beat the Old Boys for the second year in a row, this time by a score of 12-9. Ricl Wilson scored both of our touchdowns, one a long pass and run play, and the other on a fifty yard return of a punt. On the scoreboard, therefore, we fared rather poorly over the season. But the 1975 football team will not be remembered for that. They were the most deter- mined, high-spirited and gritty team to have played for Appleby for many years, and each player found out eventually that he really did win something even in losing. The following boys were awar- ded their colours: J. Rosseel, T. Green, F. Bethell, S Hall, N. Jamieson, G. Kolle, J. McCarter, J. Slattery, N. Waterfield, and R. Wilson. W.D.R.S. rjj -

For the first time in the School ' s history, we made football op- tional this year (along with soc- cer and cross-country running). Only time will tell whether this was a progressive step or not. Nevertheless, on the first af- ternoon of school this year, thir- ty-three boys chose to play foot- ball at the senior level and most of them appear in the photograph above. It quickly became obvious that our season was going to be fraught with difficulties and errors because twenty-four of last year ' s team were not back. We did have our captain, John Rosseel, back for another year, and with the nucleus of Water- field, Green, Wilson, Jamieson, Cameron and Taylor, we built a high-spirited team which steadily improved each game throughout the season. It was too bad that our inex- perience had to be victimized so early in the season. We played our first game at St. Andrew ' s, who rolled over, us 49-0. The score tells it all; but the fact that they did much the same to
