26 THE ASHBURIAN The final quarter started in much the same way and ended up by Don Brown scoring for Ashbury on a reverse from 15 yards out. Brown then tossed a pass to Larry Wood, who stepped across for the convert. Although the Old Boys didn ' t manage to score, they put up a stiff show of resistance, and the showers after the game were appreci- ated by both teams. ASHBURY vs FISHER PARK HIGH SCHOOL First Game THIS YEAR, for the first time, Ashbury ' s second team, the B-division from the first field, had the opportunity of matching themselves against the squad from Fisher Park High School, which school and team, we must admit, was unknown to most of us. Both games were played on our grounds. The first was played Saturday, October 29, and the second a little over a week later on Tuesday, November 1. Ashbury was victorious on both occasions. In the first game both teams applied pressure right from the start but before the first half was over Foulkes had completed a well-earned touchdown for Ashbury as a result of successfully receiving a long pass from Brown, who threw from his 45 -yard line. Brown ' s convert also was successful, putting the score at 6-0. In the second half, things were more evenly matched. No further score was made, and although Ashbury resorted mostly to passes, and many yards were gained through the air, little distance was covered on old terra firma . Mclnnes and Burke were also outstanding in their achievement of gaining yards for Ashbury in that they made the most of their ground plays and pass-completions, respectively. Final score— Ashbury 6, Fisher Park 0. ASHBURY vs FISHER PARK HIGH SCHOOL Second Game THIS GAME was even more decisive in Ashbury ' s favour, although the same spirit prevailed on both sides. Brown made two touch- downs and also managed to execute a rouge during the first half of the game. A sensational play was performed on the last play of the game. When Ashbury was in possession of the ball, Mclnnes received a very long pass from Brown, and he lost no time in getting over the touch-line before any of the Fisher Park players could tackle him. The game ended right after this, and so Ashbury had three touchdowns and a rouge to its credit. Strangely enough, no converts were success- ful, so the score remained at 16-0.

THE ASH B U RI AN 25 The ball shot forward, over the heads of the secondary and tertiary and settled into the hands of a Lindenlea end who proceeded to gallop some sixty yards for a touchdown. Lindenlea converted to make the final score 11-11. A disappointed team left the field and a disappointed coach kicked the bucket. ASHBURY vs STANSTEAD THE Ashbury 1st twelve walked over a weaker Stanstead squad to the tune of 21-6. The game, played on Ashbury ' s home-field, proved a one-sided game from the start. John Gill scored his first touchdown on a twenty-yard pass from Scott Price. The convert was blocked. Stanstead was unable to re- taliate, and Ashbury stayed in the Stanstead zone for the rest of the quarter. In the second quarter Andy Pritchard raced around the right end for a 2 5 -yard gain and a touchdown. A few minutes later Scott Price went over again, on a quarterback sneak from the 5 -yard line. Neither of these scores was converted. The third quarter saw no score, and both teams fought back and forth at centre field. As the final quarter got under way Pritchard threw a 40-yard pass to John Gill who took it in the clear and ran a few yards for his second major in the game. Don Brown booted the extra point totalling Ashbury with 21. Stanstead now started closing the distance to the Ashbury line by a number of plunges. Finally LeBerne, a halfback from Stanstead, carried the oval over for Stanstead ' s only major. LeBerne also kicked a placement for the extra point. The Stanstead crew fought clean and hard but they proved no match for their faster, harder-hitting opponents. OLD BOYS vs ASHBURY THIS game, lacking in formality and strained friendship, as it did, proved a source of humour to all spectators and to both benches. Needless to say, the Old Boys lost 12-0 but there may have been a few bad moments on the Ashbury bench. The first half of the tussle proved scoreless as both teams see- sawed back and forth and succeeded in nothing save getting each other ' s signals mixed. In the third quarter, however, Ashbury found herself, and after plunging down to the Old Boys ' 5-yard line. Price went over on a quarterback sneak. Scott also converted it by a drop-kick.

We were brought out of our slump in the second quarter, when a pass by Mansur was caught by Parsons who ran for a touchdown. We did not make the convert. The game was marked by a fairly high standard of playing, with Parsons and Wharton making a good many tackles. We seemed to gain most of our yards on passes. So the game ended at 5-0 for us. ASHBURY vs NEW EDINBURGH First Game THE second game was against a much bigger, heavier, though less organized team. They had a few men who were much heavier than the heaviest of us. The weather was perfect, and the game started
