Grunts And Cheers, Modern dance? No, its Phil Hunter, back tracking and hoping to find Jeff Feeney with the ball. This interception was just one of several key plays that stopped T.C.'s vaunted Titans. There are no crowds, no cheers: just commands, reprimands. Yet it is, in a sense, the place where victory or loss is decided. Iraton or Ireton, 7 years old, 17, or 70, what's the difference. They were all there to shout yell and scream. Their heads were hung only halfway, defected at defeat, yet proud of themselves. 32

Not shown in picture are Coach Grimm and Coach Bradshaw. New Coach, New Word. . . New Team 1-9-O, 1966. A record, a year, a season. To lreton followers, the memory of football '66 is a harsh one, worthy of forgetting but not able to be forgotten. The agony of defeat and the desire for victory kindled a new spirit, a spirit that burned in the team, the stu- dents, and the faculty. Thus an entirely new coaching staff was acquired. Mr. Norman Grimm, Mr. Ed Bradshaw, and Mr. Bruce Kieth were experienced and able men, each a specialist in his phase of the game. But Mr. Jack Stanton focused all the spirit and all the drive into action-and pride. For many long hours in August, after school, and on weekends, these men taught and coached thirty-three diligent and determined men, and molded them into a winning team. 4-4-1, 1967. A pride, a record, a year, a season. 7 Hammond 21 14 St. Stephen's g 2 0 A G. Washington 6 0 Wakefield 34 19 Sidwell 6 13 St. Anthony's 0 28 McNamara 0 6 T. C. Williams 5 0 0'C:Jnnell 7

i i l The small Ireton defense proved itself over and over dur- ing the O'Connell game. Jack Kirby shoots in from the side and stops a long punt return. Stop the clock-Steve Doll catches a quick flair pass from Pat Reily and heads for the sidelines. Every little bit counts-Marty Nlarinoff dives for those extra inches that decide ball games. Against St. Stephen's this effort was rewarded with the first Ireton victory, 14-2. IUIW 33
