First Soccer BACK ROW: Mr. Larsen, Chin, Mathieson, Boyle, Burke, Ryan, Bailey, Mr. Revill. FRONT ROW: Campbell, Henriques, Pollen, Richards, Day, Follows II, Washington. Being as skillful as any of our opponents, the only handicap our team played with was lack of ex- perience. Having only a few veterans, we were a young team which will no doubt prove beneficial for the near future. Into the season we plunged, looking ahead optimistically for foolhardy challengers. Foolhardy being an appropriate word, for not a team played us without feeling the malicious cleats of center halfback Jamie Mathieson. The season began. The tournament was at the start of the season and held at Upper Canada. Once again Appleby was well represented. Dissatisfied with leaving U.C.C. without the cup held aloft, the first eleven retired to the swamp to begin some serious training. Not alone in their efforts, two rookies four hundred miles to the north were running laps on Rabbitnose Island. Occasionally lending a hand in the coaching effort was a distinguished Mr. Jeffrey Stevens who taught us many of the finer points of soccer. Unfortunately, he had no way of knowing what we really needed help on was our kicking. Time and time again we proved that it is not impossible to kick a soccer ball over the net from two feet in front. We also discovered how well soccer balls float. Fortunately ever alert Joey Ryan set out in the canoes with Dave Burke, paddling with sticks, and was able to apprehend the Buffalo-bound runaway. This incredible pressure thinking proved to be a great asset as Joey kept many attacking balls from our net. Even when mistakes were made all was not lost for we had reliable Jamie Washington in the goal throwing himself at everything from soccer balls to unfriendly forwards. Combined with the efforts of our defensive line we allowed only 13 goals against us. Defensive errors and silly mistakes cost us games against Crescent, Upper Canada, and Ridley. Perhaps our best game of the season came against S.A.C. The team played extremely well and controlled the game right from the beginning, only to lose a heart stopped in the dying minutes of the game. Experience seems to be the factor.

the game. The first quarter was tough defensive battle with neither team putting any points on the board. Th en the breaic came. On a simple Petersen to Freeman handoff up the middle, Freeman evaded two or three tackles, and broke away for a sixty yard romp, making the score 6- 0. The extra point was blocked and this score remained at half-time. A real pep-talk from Coach Manbert led us back onto the field deter- mined to win. The score remained the same for the rest of the game, and the climax came when Hughes made a diving tackle to save the game for us. We ended up the season by thoroughly trouncing T.C.S. 69-6, with Mann getting five touchdowns. Other highlights of the season were: Chris King scoring a touchdown for Tracey, our famous No-Name defence gracing the scene from time to time, and, watching the look of disgust on Mr. Landry ' s face in practice when a few members of the defensive squad kept dropping perfect forty-yard long bombs. Anyway, it was a fun and satisfying season and thanks must go to Mr. Landry and Mr. Manbert for their excellent coaching. Steve Petersen

Offensively we were second to none in controlling the ball, however filling the net was a whole new problem. Luck seemed to dislike us intensely as we tended to pass to each other off the opponents crossbar. Very capable of putting it in when we most needed it was Nigel Day. Captain Colin Richards, John Pollen and Jay Bailey, our forwards worried many opposing goal ten- ders, and any birds that happened to be flying too near the nets, as well. Finally mention must be made to the unsung heroes of the middle field. Peter Boyle, Jamie Mathieson, and Peter Follows were reliable throughout the season and major factors in the demoralization of Lakefield. It was a fun year and things certainly look good for the future. Peter Follows
