FALL SPORTS SCENE! continued The Blues finished up the season with a win over the Tigers of Darlington 13-6, with Anderson and David Bruce scoring for the Blues. The Midgets were paced throughout the season by Robinson, Anderson, Bruce, Lytle, Hal Nash, and Freddy White. The eighth grade compiled a sucessful season, winning four, losing three and tieing one. The team was coached by Mr. Joe Warner, Mr. Jim McCallie and Mr. Larry Dicus. The Mites opened their season with a 32-13 rout over Boyd- Buchanan. Then the eighth-graders swamped cross-town rivals Baylor 27-6. Robin Waters scored three times in the contest. In their next game, the Mites were blanked by a tough Westminster squad. Woody Sibold and Robin Waters led the Mites and it was Waters' touchdown with two seconds remaining that gave the Blues the upset. Baylor revenged its earlier defeat and blanked the Blues. Bill Chapin stood out in the game. The Blues suffered their second loss when Rossville eleven won 6-0. The Mites came back to tie Notre Dame, 13-13. Waters, Sihold, Chapin, Tripp Smith, Rice Williams, Mike Shuck, and Bay Sokohl were standouts for the year. The seventh grade under the direction of Mr. Jim Lyle and Ronnie Carr compiled a sucessful season of five wins and three losses. The Termites got off to a slow start by losing to O.L.P.H., 27-0, and Baylor, 7-6. .lim Lyle Jr. scored in the Baylor game. The Termites got into the winning column for the first time with a 18-6 win over Westminster. David Anderson led the Termites to victory as he returned a punt 80 yards, and John Straussberger scored on a 35-yard from Lawrence Mills. The Blues racked Senter 29-0 in their next game. Anderson, Straussberger, Allen McCallie and Brooks Hawkins all scored for the Blues. The Blues then routed Boyd-Buchanan 4-0-13. Ander- son and Mills stood out for the Blues. The Termites were nipped by Tyner's seventh-graders 19-26, but came back to crush Baylor 33-13. Once again Anderson and Mills stood out for the Termites. The seventh-graders were a scrappy bunch of hard-playing foot- ball players. They averaged 23 points a game. They were paced throughout the season by Anderson, Straussberger, David Nichols, Dave Ermer, and Mark Caldwell. The school year 1967-1968 will always be remembered for its surprises, and cross country certainly followed suit. During the regular season, Mr. Pataky's runners lost more dual meets, five, than the total lost hy McCallie since cross country began in the Mid-South. Because their record of 5-5 meant nothing in the Mid-South, the runners kept their heads up and began to prepare for the flat 2-mile run by daily workouts near the Chickamauga Dam. They put the race foremost in their minds and were de- termined to win it. At St. Andrews, however, even when the Mid-South was over, no one thought McCallie could win. Suddenly, the announcement came that the McCallie team, led by captain Stan Brock and David Bradshaw, had won. McCallie had finished sixth, eighth, tenth, seventeenth, twenty-seventh, thirty-fifth, and fourty-fourth, Then the B-Team, less standout Bragg Comer, ran worse than expected in forfeiting the championship spot gained last year for fourth place. Ben Stlkleyv .lim Todd, Steve Clift, Sandy Gardner, Neal Florence, David McCallie and Paul Zitzman finished in that order for the Bees. Until the Castle Heights meet both varsity and B-Team were undefeated at 3-0. In their Hrst meet the harriers trounced CMA 15-48 and the B-Team won by a perfect score, 15-5. Next the Blues took Baylor and Riverside, while Marty Shofner came in first in the Baylor meet for the Bees. Evidently, at Castle Heights the teams had forgotten how to pace their two miles, for instead of running their own race, as Coach Patacky had emphasized, they allowed CHMA runners to gauge the course.

FALL SPORTS f continued The B-Team learned from the varsity mistake and won by a small margin. Another crucial meet for the Blues was held at Darling- ton. They met SMA and Darlington in a three-way conflict. Hampered by a biting wind and the steep, tricky path through the woods, the varsity beat Darlington but lost to SMA. Also, the B-barriers fell to Darlington. So McCallie did not stand with the unbeatable Cross Country squad they once had, and going into the Mid-South, they could be rated as nothing more than an average team. However, Stan Brock, David Bradshaw, Martin Flack, Marty Shofner, Sandy McMillian, Dan Autin, and .lim Woodford did gut it out for the Big Blue, and in surprising a pessimistic student body, showed them that reputations could he overcome. McCallie honored its 1967 football and Mid-South Cross Country teams with a dinner banquet in Alumni Hall. There the captains for the 1968 season were named for each sport. Guard Bill Hall and quarterback Jim Cilley were named by their teamates to captain the Blues' football squad and Martin Flack and Sandy McMillan were named captains for the cross country team. Fullback Bill Hagaman was voted the most valuable football play- er and the most valuable back. Other awards to the football players were: Bill Hust, best defensive linemang Dowling Forde, best defensive backg Charlie Rowland, the most valuable line- mang John Freeze, best spiritedg and Wes Shofner, most im- proved. The Mid-South cross-country champions voted Stan Brock the most valuable runnerg Jim Woodford, most irnprovedg and Bragg Comer the best-spirited non-letterman. Don Bradshaw received the Coaches' Trophy. The non-competetive sports, supervised by Mr. Ed Lewis, Mr. Spencer McCallie III, Mr. .lim Aplin and Mr. L. M. Baily, stressed physical agility and strength for the past season. The general athletics and physical fitness departments conditioned daily with the use of new isometric equipment and regular cal- isthenics and also participated in intramural activities. Cym- nastics, newest in the physical fitness program, emphasized tumbling and work on the parallel bars. ABOVE, LEFT: Mr. F. E. Lewis assists one of his Phy. Ed. boys doing push-ups.
