Senior Football Although they defeated Norwich in their first game of the season and finished the year with a win over the Grads, the senior football team didn't enioy too successful a season. Be- tween their opening and closing game triumphs, the boys dropped six games in a row. How- ever, prospects for next year's team are ex- cellent. A 6-3 triumph over Norwich in the open- ing game, gave the boys a little confidence in themselves, but they were not so fortunate in their other league encounters. St. Thomas hung an 11-7 verdict on the locals in Ingersoll. The game was played on the new playing field beside the school, but that factor did not seem to have much effect on the outcome. They next lost another home game, this time to Aylmer 6-O, in a nip and tuck affair. lngersoll's next three games were out of town. A fourth quarter splurge by Delhi en- abled that team to gain a 23-11 win. In Aylmer, the Blues scored a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball, but from there on it was AyImer's ball game, as they won by a 21-6 margin. In St. Thomas old Lady Luck was against the boys, as they suffered a 6-5 defeat. They outplayed the Red Devils in every aspect of play, but unfortunately they iust could not score that extra point. The final league game was played in Ingersoll and over again Ingersoll scored an early touchdown only to see Paris, who won the league championship without suffering a defeat, come back with five touchdowns and gain an easy 28-12 victory. The team got some consolation for their dismal season, however, as they pasted a 10-O on the Grads in the season's finale. Offensively Bruce Meckbach scored 16 points and was easily the team's leading ground gainer as he picked up 582 yards. Butch Freemantle, who didn't see too much action for the first three games, scored 15 points and gained 167 yards. Bill Bradfield who quarterbacked the team scored 10, Ken MacArthur who did most of the kicking scored 6 and John Osborn came up with one touch- down for 5 points. Page 42 its 1 -. Ken MacArthur, the most underrated player on the team, anchored the line defensively and offensively. Ken came through time and again with spectacular plays, particularly from his defensive linebacker position. Dave Poyntz, another linebacker, also played terrific ball. John Gazzola and Frank Allison also played well defensively throughout the year. Muir Sumner was the top pass receiver and Jon Pellow added more offensive power from his fullback position. The members of the senior football team were: Ends - Sumner, Mott, MacPherson, Foote, Boniface, Tackles - MacArthur, Allison, Mc- Kay, Whitwell, B. McLellan, Guards - Poyntz, Gazzola, Baxter, Hammond, Snaps - Mac- Donald, Holmes, Flying Wings - Houston, Os- born, Quarterbacks - Bradfield, J. McLellan, Halves - Meckbach, Freemantle, Pellow, Fisher, Chisholm, Pembleton. Junior Rugby The iunior rugby team represented the school in the annual two-game series with St. Marys.
