HHnBMHBOBaHBKHHBBHi -r Football Captures Some Unique Moods McCALLUM . . . Victory number 21 for the Raiders came at the hands of the McCallum Knights by a score of 21-0. The Raiders experienced a slow start as they led by a mere 7 points at the end of the first half. This touchdown came from Gene Sanders on a 1-yard plunge in the first quarter. In the 4th quarter Donald Ealey broke the game wide open as he galloped 34 yards before crossing the goal line for the 2nd Reagan tally. Mike Bayer clinched the game for Reagan when he gathered in an 8-yard toss from Emory Bellard for a touchdown. Billy Schott again kicked all of the extra points. The Reagan defense was at its best as McCallum entered Raider territory only 3 times all night and gained only 62 yards offensively. LANIER ... On Halloween night the defending State Champions thrashed the Lanier Vikings by a score of 31-0. In the 2nd quarter following a Lanier quick kick, Howard Shaw chalked up the first Raider touchdown. Early in the 2nd quarter Shaw again powered his way for 6 points, which was fol- lowed by a Billy Schott field goal later on in the quarter. In the 3rd quarter Jackie Linam darted 20 yards before scoring. After Steve Grant recovered a fumble on the Lanier 27, Robert Miller fired a touchdown pass to Mike Bayer. Billy Schott kicked all the extra points for the Raiders. The Vikings have never beaten Reagan.

HnmmnmoHHi aOBBHBBOOBVaBRBHBC Big Plays Spark Washington Skirmish AUSTIN ... In this contest between two very strong rivals and the two leaders in the district race, the mighty Raiders proved triumphant as they white- washed the Austin High Maroons 10-0. This highly sought victory gave Reagan at least a tie for the district crown, and a berth in the play-offs. Austin High ' s highly desired revenge was postponed once more. In a steady drizzle and 30 degree weather both teams were at a disadvantage. Early in the 4th quarter Donald Ealey put Reagan on the scoreboard after a 10-yard run. Billy Schott kicked the extra point and with just a few minutes left in the game, a field goal. The incomparable Raider defense held highly rated Doug Baylor to 22 yards and the Maroons to 45 total yards rushing. The Maroons crossed the midfield stripe only once and that was to the Raider 45-yard line. ANDERSON . . . Clinching their 2nd straight undis- puted district crown, the Raiders swatted the Ander- son Yellowjackets by a score of 34-6. In the 1st quarter Emory Bellard heaved a 34-yard touchdown pass to Mike Bayer. On a 33-yard sprint Lester Ealey scored for the Raiders in the 3rd quarter. Donald Ealey scored after his brother on a two-yard plunge. Also in the 3rd quarter Howard Shaw powered his way 8 yards for the next tally. Rickey Smith caught a 10-yard toss from Robert Miller for the final score. In this game Billy Schott booted all but one extra point, his first miss of the year. Yellowjacket power- house John Harvey was the star of the game by far as he led the rushers of both teams. Harvey, the city ' s leading rusher, menaced the Raiders all night long. The lone Anderson tally came when Harvey caught a 55-yard bomb in the end zone. SEGUIN . . . Capitalizing on Seguin ' s mistakes, the Raiders overwhelmed the Matadors by a surprising score of 40-0. After a scoreless first quarter two of Emory Bellard ' s passes found the golden hands of Mike Bayer in the end zone. The 2nd half was a different story as the Raiders obliterated Seguin. In the 3rd quarter Gene Sanders scampered 14 yards for the 6 points. Next, Howard Shaw powered over the goal line from 1 yard out. In the 4th quarter Robert Miller ran 9 yards for the touchdown. Billy Schott kicked two field goals of 42 and 20 yards and also four extra points. The peerless Reagan defense was so tough that the Matadors could cross the 50- yard line only twice. The Matadors were held to 4 first downs. A DEFENSIVE LUNGE by Tobin Haynes (64) prevents Washington quarterback Larry Foster from completing a pass. TRAVIS RAVEN TALKS to Mike Bayer concerning the hip pointer he received following a catch in which he was hit by a Washington player. 134 — Sports BAIL OH
