Dick Sanders turned Sammy Baugh and found his receivers with deadly accuracy, connecting to Bruce Ogilvie for two scores and joe Daly for another. Phil Prestipino ran wild and tallied two touchdowns on runs of 9 and 19 yards. Although failing to score himself for the first time in the season, Dick Sanders along with Phil Prestipino. helped set up many of the Pompton scores. 7? ef' 3? X' Pompton Lakes-12 Butler-0 The Cardinals' arch rival, Butler, fell before the high geared Pompton offensive, 12-O, at Hinchcliffe Stadium in the seasonal finale. Pompton started things rolling the first time they got possession of the ball by marching 70 yards down the field to a touchdown, with Prcstipino carrying the ball over from the 3 yard line. In the second half the passing combination of Sanders to Ogilvie began to roll. Midway in the third period Bruce Ogilvie made a spec- tacular catch of a Sanders' pass in the Butler end zone, making the score 12-0 in favor of Pompton. The Cardinals stopped Butler's aerial offensive cold and limited the Bulldogs to one first down and 38 yards gained rushing during the entire game. I i nz

Pompton Lakes-7 Bogota-0 With the score tied 0-0 at half time, the Pompton Lakes State Championship bound express almost jumped the track as a surprising Bogota eleven battled them tooth and nail before giving way to Coach Benson's powerhouse club in the third period, 7-0. . A wet field, plus the illness of scat-back Dick Sanders almost caused a Pompton defeat. Sanders got in long enough to score the winning touchdown and boost his season's total to 42 points scored in four games. The forward wall came in for most of the credit, however, as they repeatedly turned back a stronger Bogotaeleven. 35' we if I? Pompton Lakes-40 Ridgewood-0 Due to travel restrictions, intersectional tilts had to be done away with, and in order to complete the schedule, Coach Benson booked two games with Ridgewood. It was a sorry afternoon for all Ridgewood followers as Dick Sanders, with the aid of a powerhouse line, went on a scoring rampage. Sanders scored three touchdowns himself and passed to Bruce Ogilvie and Bill Gormley for two others. The other Pompton score came by virtue of Don Lockett's blocking a Ridgewood kick and joe Daly's re- covering for Pompton in the Ridgewood end zone. ,X .W.J..A I Last Row: Coach C. Benson, R.
