Southam. FIRST FOOTBALL A divisional crown in Ottawa high school competition, along with the league's scoring title won by Captain Kim Rawley, were among laurels reaped by a well-balanced, if not deep, Ashbury First Football Team last fall. Coasting to top spot in the Eastern Division Intermediate rankings with a 5 and 1 record, Ashbury, in only its second year of League action. scored an impressive total of 128 points in six games while limiting op- ponents to 26. Rawley, a two-way standout at offensive fullback and defensive corner-back over the entire season, ran away with the league scoring title. IYith a total of 54 points on nine touchdowns during the six-game schedule, he was 30 points up on his nearest competitor. In League play Ashbury boasted an average game-offense of 20 points, with Rawley contributing an average of nine of these. De- fensively, Ashbury topped all teams in the three Ottawa Leagues. allow- ing an average of only four points per game. However, while faring well in League play the team sutfered a mysterious letdown in the high school playotf and was subjected to a severe drubbing. Against Stanstead, Bishops, and the Old Boys, Ash- bury missed victory by a narrow margin.

24 THE ASI-IBURIAN High School League Games In a home-and-home series with each of the other three teams in the Division, Ashburv easily outscored both Eastview and Commerce. XVith Gloucesterf a new team in the League last year, the story was different. In the first contest at Ashbury grounds, Gloucester, with assistance from penalties which all but nullified Ashbury gains, brought the vaunted Green Machine to a virtual halt. Evidently well-briefed on the power running of twin fullbacks Rawley and IVennberg, and warned about the Chantler-Berry end-to- endn pass play which had accounted for three touchdowns in the team's first two games, the Gloucester defence gave little ground. Then, with Ashbury contained, Gloucester capitalized with a held goal and three singles to provide the winning 6-O margin and hand the Ashburians their only League defeat of the season. The return game, which the team and the coach had anxiously awaited, was played on a soggy Gloucester Held. At stake in this final League contest was sole possession of first place. A victory for the Gloucester squad would ease them into a tie with Ashbury for top spot. On the first play from scrimmage, Allmark at quarterback, rolling out behind good blocks thrown by XVennberg, Berry and Gamble, pitched the ball to Rawley who was 20 yards deep on the sideline and who then out-slogged surprised Gloucester defenders to complete the spectacular 90-yard TD play. IVhile the Spunky Gloucester-men bounced back with a TD and a single, unrelenting efforts by the Ashbury defence finally wore them down. Big Shoup, up from the Seconds and playing only his second game with the team, was a defensive standout. His ample 6'5 frame filled the centre of the line and with his long reach he snared many a ballcarrier in the Gloucester backfield. To wrap up the game, XIcPhail, filling in at fullback for the injured Rawley, bulldozed over the goal line giving Ashbury its winning 12-7 margin. ln the Intermediate League Semi-Final Playoff, held the week fol- lowing the final Gloucester contest, Ashbury suffered its only decisive defeat of the 1964-65 season. i Showing an almost unbelievable improvement over their September effort 11g2lll1Sf Ashbury in the Pigskin Parade, St. .Ioseph's of the IYestern Division blanked the team 39-O. Exbilzitimz Games Ashbury came up with its most spectacular effort of the season against Stanstead on the I,.C.C. grounds in Montreal. It is doubtful that
