In the first game, Humberside defeated Oak- wood 20-6. Parkdale shut-out the Oakers 20-0 in the second game of the season. A fighting Oakwood crew came within a touch- down of tying Harbord, as the Oakers lost 12-6. Tim Sloane was the Oakwood scorer. A spirited Oakwood squad ended the season in fine style by defeating Bloor 12-1. Tim Sloane and Steve Amsel were the two Oakwood scorers. I would like to congratulate Mr. Scott and all the bantam crew for a fine effort this year. 88

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.
