The Eagles win our game concluding a victorious con- ference season. As we enter 4-A competition next year, East Eagles will remain for- ever undefeated in the Class 3-A Conference.

Lawrence Swaim Jim Turner Guard Halfback West: The Eagles snapped out of a three gam e losing streak to clench its third straight 3-A Conference Championship, defeating West 27-19. Dick Idol, workhorse of the East offense, once again leads the Eagles to victory. Although he makes no touchdowns, he carries the ball 26 times for 145 yards against a scrappy West defense. East establishes a 14-13 lead early in the game on a 19 yard run by Jimmy Vanhoy and a 6 yard pass to Tim Long from quarterback Harold Hemmings. In the third quarter fullback Rick Hellard makes a 70 yard run to the West 2 yardline. On the next play, he scored on a 2 yard plunge. West has not given up and in the fourth period scores from the one yardline. The extra point attempt fails, though, and leaves the Eagles with a one point lead. To combat the challenging West offense, Dick Idol blasts through the right side of the West line and sprints 60 yards fo the end zone; however, his scoring run is nullified by a clipping penalty. The penalty leaves the Eagles on the West 31 with little time remaining. Five plays later, Harold Hemmings throws a pass to Tim Long who is sep- arated from any Titan by 10 yards. Dick Idol adds the fin- ishing touch with his third extra-point run of the night.
