The Lancers were up for this game, and they proved it by their determined and hard fought play on offense and defense. The ball carrying responsibilities were all Hibler's because Pat Reynolds suffered a shoulder separation early in the game. Thrills were often as the ball changed hands many times. The score at the half was 0-O. Serra scored in the third period on a Lancer fumble. S.F. scored twice in the fourth quarter, when the clock showed 13 seconds to play Dave Riser scored on an end run, and once by Sivley.

BELLARMINE Dave Riser scores the lone Lancer T.D. in one of the most hard fought games of the season. The Lancers played well but could not turn back the Bells who had to win to share in the C.A.L. Crown. Tim Ros- sovich who had been sidelined by a serious hip iniury was not in ac- tion. Mike Malachowski was a standout on defense, as he Iecl the team in tackles with 'I4. Mike Hib- Ier did the bulk of the running, car- rying the ball with his usual author- ity. Gale Miyahara, who was shift- ecl to holtback for this game, be- cause Tim Brown was iniured, did a fine iob. The Lancers played well but could not get the win they wanted so very badly. Pat Reynolds starts to head up field on a punt return as Riser and Soper set for action.
