The varsity football team repeated its 3 - 4 record of a year ago, but this year's team was more successful. It was essentially a new team beginning with first-year head coach, Ed Rybicki. Although small physicaly, he possesses, as the team quickly learned, a heart much bigger than his body. Coach Rybicki, who was ably aided by assistants Beckett, Harrington, Mechem, and Radoccia, installed a new offense and defense along with such memorable drills as Perfect Play. A solid nucleus of senior lettermen led by co-captains Tom Driscoll and Ike Suggs along with Scott Anderson, Herzel Fulton, and Rick Willard led the team through reinitiation of double sessions, beginning early one Saturday morning, three days before school opened. Three impressive scrimmage victories over Exeter, Lawarence, and Middlesex led to great expectations for a winning season. High hopes and spirits, along with the new pirate mascot, were dashed in a 38-6 loss to St. Sebastians - a game marred by the excessive number of major penalties called. Following a spirited week of practice, the team regrouped tor a 26-10 victory at B-B 8: N, highlighted by Andy Linn establishing a new school rushing record. Needless to say, the offensive line, centered by Brad Clark with Bruce Lindsay and Tom Driscoll along with tight-end Troy Dagres on the strong side and Chuck McDowell and Ieff Garnett on the weak side, was outstanding. 12

A disappointing trip to Thayer for a battle in the mud saw the Governors return with a 26-6 defeat. One bright spot shining through the muck was the return of end Bo Bowditch to the program after not joining the team until the second week of the season. A discouraging 6-O loss to Brooks on Parents' Day saw tailback Linn lost for season with a broken arm. Monster Scott Anderson played with no casst onlhislbroken hand. Serious soul-searching by the team followed the Brooks loss, and they attacked their new season with renewed vigor and unity. Groton was the first victim as the Governors demolished the zebra-shirts 34-18. Highlights included Herzel Fulton's two touchdown receptions, the first on a half-back pass to open the game, and lim Goodhart, arriving late as usual, shattering Linn's record with his 285 yard, three touchdown performance. Goodhart ran behind the awesome blocking of fullback Derek Spears, the MVP as chosen by the team, and the offensive line. Noseguard Rick Willard scared the daylights out of the Groton quarterback, blasting into the backfield on nearly every play. An outstanding defensive perfor- mance highlighted the 6-O defeat of St. lVIark's as the team closed their home season. These two victories were especially gratifying for the seniors as the Governors had not defeated either squad in the last four years. 'PN is 13
