as did the quality of their efforts. It ' s been said that a good football team must have a stingy defence. During the season the defence allowed a mere 63 points or one touchdown per game. Led by Captain Bruce Gibson, the defence utilized a 5-4-3 and 5-5-2 formation. The front four con- sisted of Mark Francis, George Stott, Al Halliday and Dave Suchanek. At the ends many a ' sweep ' fell prey to the head- hunting tactics of Keith Morrison and Peter Logan. The Linebackers consisting of Rob Manbert, and Bill Beasley at the c orners, Dan Yustin, Dave Gib- son, Stuart McGlaughlin and Don Green patrolling the interior and Graham Leggat, Leslie Connor and Chris Falco as defensive backs provided excellent ' pur- suit ' defence. Don Green and Dan Sell at the halfback slots, this offense produced 140 points in 4 games. With the exception of Dave Suchanek and Don Benson, the offensive line remained the same The skill of the ' specialty ' teams matched the quality of the of- fensive and defensive units. The combination of Graham Leggat ' s toe and Mark Wilson ' s snaps produced 33 points in converts and fieldgoals. Graham was deadly from the 35 yard line in.

The nine win-one loss record was the product of enthusiastic team spirit and to a lesser extent, the coaching. At the season ' s start there were only nine veterans from last year. The season, in terms of per- sonnel was split in two due to the northern campus. Both groups moulded together well. The offence for the first half of the season was run by Mark Gaskin at quarterback. With Dan Sell and Maarten Bloemen at halfback and Paul Batemen and Paul Hubner at the flanker slots, the offensive unit amassed 134 points in 4 games. The offensive line of Bill Benson, Dune Roberts, offensive captain Rob Manbert, Mark Francis, Tom Gif- fin, George Stott and Chuck Stacey provided the blocking. Thirty-one touchdowns during the season attest to the hard work of the offensive line. The offense for the second half of the season wasn ' t any ' weak sister ' .
