3,1 THE ASHBURIAN BP TB F O 0 T B A L L FIRST TEAM The 1963 football season was an extremely satisfactory one. The first team entered a city football league for the first time and, after a slow beginning, did very well. The fine effort of this team was remarked upon by the coach of the Champion Rideau team when he accepted the league trophy. There were many individual highlights to the season, some of which were: Lash catching the fastest Stanstead backfielder from behind, Sinclair and Stansbury doing the heavy work against Hillcrest, Reid's breakaway runs against Northwood and Stanstead, Rawley's running against Ottawa U. High Schooi and Westmount, Smallian and Horner combining to defeat Bishops, Berry running down the kicker and getting the ball against Rideau juniors, Cotton blocking a kick against Eastview, Hunt's running against Rideau Intermediates and the Old Boys, XVenn- berg breaking away against VVestmount, Keffer's excellent running and defensive play against everyone, Garton kicking extra points. Interesting strategic development were the VVennberg Bounce , the Reid Fumble , and the Berry kick-pass , all called very cleverly by Smallian. Every game was a fine team effort but those that stand out were: the entire team against VVestmount and Stanstead, but the offence in particular, the defence against Eastview and Hillcrest. The most excit- ing game was that against Bishops, which was won on the last play with a new pass put in that week. The most important game for the team was the victory over Hillcrest. This game indicated the spirit of the squad, Hillcrest had beaten Rideau and were undefeated, our defence had been completely changed after a 37-0 loss to Rideau. Although the score was low in play Ashbury had the edge the whole game. The most satisfactory part of the year for the coach was the co-operation and willingness on the part of the players. Many were playing new posi- tions and all were playing a new system. In spite of this there were very few penalties and there was an excellent distribution of scoring and ball- carrying. As a conclusion to these general remarks the players for next year should be reminded of the formula that was included in last vear's letter to all prospective football players: i Conditioning + Determination 4- Co-operation I Success
