on the ground and in the air! Jacksonville Marianna Conway From beginning to end the Bears always seemed to be yards away from the opposing team. Starting off the sea- son with Jacksonville, the Bears skim- med to a 7-6 victory. Both teams seemed to be a bit shakey in the scoreless first half, until the Bears got on the ball and made the only touchdown. Jacksonville’s Kenneth Lawrence gave the Bears a scare as he went through the Bear defense 38 yards for a touchdown. With a chance to tie the game, Jacksonville hobbled the snap, and the kick was never even tried. With this victory the Bears took their first step toward a championship. In the second game the Bears man- gled Marianna with a score of 46-14. Charles Southall led the Bears to their first touchdown on a fumble recovery. The extra point was made good by Tracy Brown. The third quarter the Bears took their stand when Glen Gwatney blocked a punt nd recovered the ball in the end zone, with Brown kicking the extra point. Gary Stroud recovered a fumble from the 16-yard line and Randy Hind- man scored on a 14-yard run with Brown making the extra point. Last scoring of the game in the fourth quarter was made from Gary Stroud on a four yard run. Trying for their third victory against Conway the Bears scored every way possible, but ended up with a tie of 16- 16. The first score came after Mike Fos- ter blocked a punt by Jim Murphy and gave the Bears the ball on Conway’s 14- yard line. Brown kicked the ball 27- yards for a 3-0 lead. In the second period Hindman found Mark Danielowicz open and threw a perfect pass. Danielowicz ran into the end zone for a touchdown and Brown’s kick was no good. Then Sylvan Hills went 90-yards in 16 plays, topped off by Hindmans 2-yard TD. Brown kicked the point.

PERFECT MIX: Bears Defeat Northeast, Mills and Catholic The Bears earned their third win of the season over the NLR Northeast Chargers with a score of 21-6. The Bears gave Northeast their sixth loss in a row with a dominate game plan. The tie with Conway the week before had seemed to give the team renewed determination, and they handed the Chargers the first defeat by a Sylvan Hills team. Ranked number four the next week, the Bears traveled to Mills to hand the Comets a 14-6 defeat and spoil their homecoming. The Comets had a 7-6 lead at the beginning of the fourth quar- ter, but the momentary scare was for- gotten as the Bears scored and secured the win. With the Mills’ win, the Bears were now ranked number three in the state. Hie game against Catholic High held an extra treat as the location was War Memorial Stadium and gave both teams a chance to try out the astro turf. The change in scenery didn’t appear to mat- ter as a 28-6 win over the Rockets left the Bears still undefeated. DEFENSE — The BEARS make an impor- tant stop during the MILLS game.
