2B Elder 27 uWe want GCL, we want it bad? This was the cry heard before Eldefs annual homecoming contest with the Purcell Cavaliers. After a slow start, the Panthers proved their mettle as they registered their Purcell 0 eighth victory and eighth shutout. With this impressive victory before many distinguished alumni the Pan- thers ran their GCL record to 4-0. One more to go.

Elder 20 For the first time in their 1972 football season, The Panthers had to travel from their friendly lair onto the field of their adversary. The unsuspecting victims of this occu- rence were the Lancers of LaSalle. Going into the game, not only was La Salle 0 Elder after LaSalle, they wanted GCL, and this was the first of two crucial back-to-back away contests for the Panthers. For the sixth straight time the defense was ferocious in shutting out the Lancers while the offense sparked by Henry Miller racked up 20 points. So Elder had found the secret of playing away; take the Pit with them. Left: GCL Coach of the Year. 27

Elder 6 - St. Xavier 6 Just one more. A victory or a tie with the Bombers and the Panthers would capture the GCL crown for the first time since 1954. Miller got the big E on the score- board first with a 54 yard run. St. X, however, did not give up and on a triple reverse pass scored the first points of the year against Eider. But victory was not to be as time ran out in the half halting an Elder drive on the St. X one. Disappoint- ment? We got GCL!
