Twenty The Fairport Skippers again Wound up with a better than expected season. In fact, Coaches Matt lvary and George Daly were well satisfied with the inexperienced team. The team could boast a five Win, three loss record, which is not too bad considering the caliber of the opponents. Fairport played eight class A schools, some with large enrollments. The Skippers placed only third in the North- eastern Conference with a 2-2 record, but with the players returning next year, the outlook is much brighter than it was last September. Robert Jarboe fNo. 76J is leading in- terference for fullback Robert Potti fwith ballj as Potti charges for a sizable gain against the Riverside Beavers.

Rich Katona KNO. 841 goes for a short gain Richard Katona, three-year foot-ball letter-man but- is encircled by four Geneva players and is and the play-caller of the football team, receives SUODPCG- t-he V.F.XV. Most Valuable Player Award. Fairport 6-Mentor 264' Fairport's only score was by Darryl Mackey on a left end run. The Cardinals proved too much for the Skippers to let them score any- more. Mentor boasts the league title for the second year in a row, but the Skippers will be aiming for it next year. Fairport 38 - Geneva 123 The entire Skipper line and backfield played excellent ball to enable the local eleven to cop their first season's N,E.C. victory. Fairport 34--Ashtabula Harbor 14 Butch Hilston highlighted the game by one of the season's longest runs, 90 yards after he plucked a handoff from the Harbor quarterback. Dick Eckert and Jim Cardina were the defensive stars. Fairport 0 - Painesville 2555 Everything seemed to go wrong-for the Skip- pers, that is. It rained all day and the field was drenched and soggy, hindering a running attack and preventing any passing. Harvey played ex- cellent football to sink the Skippers as Landfield ran wild. Fairport 12- Conneaut 6 Bouncing back from their defeat from Paines- ville, the local Harding eleven came back with an impressive victory over Conneaut, the favored team by 4 T.D.'s. Albin Ulle scored the first T.D. on a beautiful 56-yard run and Ken Urban took a pass from Bob Potti and raced 28 yards for the final tally. Fairport 15 - XVickliffc 6 Too many injuries prevented the team from rolling up a larger score, but the outcome wasn't bad at all. Bull Mackey scored the first touch- down and Potti threw the pigskin to Urban for the second score. Katona booted the extra point. Fairport 26 - Riverside 095 The Skippers had a big night against River- side with everybody getting a chance to show their stuff. The second team played most of the second half. Scores were made by Hilston, Urban, Potti, and Mackey. Fairport 7 -St. Joseplfs 20 The local schoolboys played on even terms with the boys from the big city for the first three quarters, but in the final quarter St. Joe's su- perior manpower made the difference. at Indicates N.
