In the season opener, Oakwood upset a favour- ed Parkdale team 14-2, on touchdowns by Pete Lucie and John Swanson. Oakwood ' s offensive team sparked as the Blues trounced Western 40-1. Pete Lucie was Oak- wood ' s standout as he scored two touchdowns and passed for two others to John MacLeod and Ray Fortner. George Coull and Mike Wolfe rounded out the scoring. However, it was a different story when Oak- wood met a spirited Harbord team at Ravina Field. The defensive squads of both teams played magnificently. Unfortunately, Oakwood was on the losing end of a 2-0 score. On a rainy and muddy day at home, a rejuven- ated Oakwood team trounced Bloor 39-12. George Coull scored two touchdowns, one on a spectacu- lar 50 yard run. John Swanson also scored twice while quarterback Pete Lucie ran ten yards for the other touchdown. At Northern ' s field, Oakwood upset Northern 32-12. Pete Lucie lead the scoring parade with two touchdowns. John Swanson, Chris Evans, and Jim Grant were the other Oakwood scorers. In the semi-finals at Ravina Field, Oakwood suffered a heart-breaking 20-19 loss at the hands of Humberside. A pass interception during the last minute of play crushed a late rally by the spirited Oakwood squad. 86

JUNIOR FOOTBALL The Baby Blues marched to an undefeated season. The juniors used a well-balanced offense and a hard-rock defense to win all their games. In their first game, Oakwood displayed a powerful running attack backed up by good pass- ing when it was needed to defeat Parkdale 24-7. The game was highlighted by a 62 yard pass and run scoring play from quarterback Luciano Conte to flanker Bob Sniderman. A strong Western squad dropped a 19-0 shut- out to Oakwood in the second game of the sea- son. Bob Sniderman, Luciano Conte, and John Spauls scored the Oakwood touchdowns. The defense sparkled in Oakwood ' s 20-0 shut- out victory over Harbord. Eldon Lehr, George Papik, and Pete Selito were defensive stand-outs. The final game of the regular season was played during a driving rain-storm. However, even the rain couldn ' t keep Oakwood from winning its third straight shut-out win and fourth consecutive victory of the season by defeating Bloor 19-0. John Brownlee scored two touchdowns and Luci- ano Conte ran three yards for the final score. On the basis of regular season play, Oakwood established itself as one of the finest teams in the city. However, in the quarter-final game against a fired-up North Toronto squad, Oakwood, trailing 9-6, scored a touchdown with only three minutes left to win 12-9. Luciano Conte was Oakwood ' s stand-out. I n the semi-final game, Oakwood finally met its match. In one of the most exciting games ever played on Oakwood ' s field. Monarch Park edged Oakwood 9-8. Within less than a minute left in the game, Oakwood scored a touchdown on a ten yard run by Mike Seguin. However, the convert attempt was no good. Congratulations to Mr. Wilson and all the play- ers for a great season of football. FRONT ROW: Nigel Corden, Ted Carey, Peter Moll, George Papik. Ken Powell. Ennid de Curtis. Frank MoreUi.
