Captain BOB MANDEL of Vancouver was one of the better quarterbacks in the league. The team was helped by the dedicated play of MIKE ROSEN, ALAN ABRAMSON and BOBBY BALLEN. Ottawa was led to a surprising finish by Captain JON SHQEVELL. Most of his support came from PHIL SECKLER and RICH WEIL. The Canadian Football League was one of the better leagues of the past few years. Coach Bob Curcio guided his team, the Jets, to the A.F.L. Championship, Captain LARRY KLITZMAN, the league's Most Valuable Player led the offensive, and along with DAVE WINSTON, was instrumental in the J ets, victory. Lloyd dig iti' Shuvall, was at the helm of the Raiders. He and Captain JOHN ROSS were helped by the fine play of DANNY GLICKENHAUS and JEFF WEISS. Rangers, with Al Hthe chess Lewis, were a tough football club. Captain LARRY SPINNER was an outstanding leader on and off the field. MIKE BLUMSTEIN and STACEY SIMON showed great improvement. Joe Gugino coached the Broncos through an exciting season. JEFF SHULDENER, Captain, and MIKE MOORIN were the outstanding players on the team. Commissioner Lil Bill Villano wishes to thank everyone for the cooperation and desire that made these leagues so successful. ARCHERY A This year's archery program at KEN-MONT showed many promising shooters. Robin Hood spirit and tradition was maintained especially in the middle and lower divisions of camp. Although there was not any inter-camp competition, KEN- MONT would have certainly ranked high among the camps. Requiring great concentration and many hours of practice, a number of boys succeeded in gaining recognition from the Camp Archery Association. Among many outstanding Archers, special re- cognition should be made of the following boys: MARTY SATURN JEFF DAVIDSON RICKY BLANC LEN ESFORMES GARY STARR KEITH HARTLEY DOUG WEINSTEIN DANNY SABLOSKY BRIAN EGGERT JEFF RADLER JON ROSEN Cardinal Division Falcon Division Robin Division ChamPl0l1 Color War victor outstanding Archer GARY SCHNEIDERMAN ' M

FOOTBALL The football leagues were a large part of athletics at KEN-MONT. Play was unusually fine through- out the competition. The rapid improvement of many participants made Commissioner William Villano feel that the leagues were a huge success. The Colts, Champions of the N.F.L., were piloted by their line quarterback I ON SCHOTTLAND. Complementing J ON with his receiving talents was DANNY FISHBEIN. DANNY led all the scoring with seven touchdowns and won the Most Valuable Player award for his efforts. MIKE ROSEN and MARK DIRECTOR also made significant contri- butions to the success of their teams. The one word that marked the play of the Bears was enthusiasm. Captain I AY KRAMER proved to be a very capable performer along with receiver BILLY FALK and lineman SCOTT TURKEL. The Browns were led by Captain LOREN KLEINMAN, a close runner-up in the M.V-P- Voting. LOREN was one of the league's most feared Offensive threats. PETE FUHRMAN and PAUL KRAMER were the other stand-outs on the BIOWHS' roster. The players on the Lions showed promise of becoming line football players. Alertness and being 'ftough in the clutch was their trademark. Captain STEVE SABLOSKY, SCOTT WEBER and GARY SCHNEIDERMAN best exemplified these attri- butes. This league should produce many collegiate stars in the future. Quebec was the champion of the Canadian Foot- ball League. Captain BILLY BLANK, the M.V.P., along with ANDREW HOLDER, KEITH RITT- MASTER and GREGG RUBIN, was largely re- sponsible for Quebec's drive to the flag. Montreal CCommissioner Villano's team when he played pro footballb played well this past season. Captain BOB FISH was aided by the offensive play of PETE WOLPERT and MIKE DOPPELT. Toronto played some very exciting football. BOB MENDELSON, captain, was a good leader on the field. BOB was especially helped by RICH RIEGER and by BILLY REICHMAN,s good defensive play. SCOTT ZUCKERMAN was the outstanding Captain of Ontario. Other important members of the Club were DAVE GODNICK, BOB REICHER and HOWIE NATHEL.

It has been said that every American man has a secret longing to be a crack-shot with a rifle. With over 10,000 rounds fired on the range, the very popularity of KEN-MONT's .22 program would seem to verify this statement. Hey, Rick, is the Rifle,Range going to be open tonight during free play? Lew, can I fire at baseball cards? Rick, what am I doing wrong? Only two of my bullets hit the target. Lew, can I fire the shot- gun? These are just four of the hundreds of ques- tions each day put to the 1969 Ken-Mont Rifleiy Staff of Lew Toia and Cadet Rick Murdoch. Safety, knowledge and fun were the three factors Used to guide the instruction and firing this past season. Each camper was impressed with safety on the Rifle Range. They were taught Range proce- dures and the proper method of loading and firing the weapons. Everyone learned what to do in case Of 21 misire and the Range soon became known 21S the One place in camp where absolute, unquestiOI16d Obedience was necessary. National Rifle Association testing as was the case with many activities this summer, was severely cur- tailed by the New England monsoons that hit Kent. Because of the impracticality of building a covered bridge from the firing line to the target area fifty feet away firing was suspended for quite a few days. This meant that a few youngsters were unable to shoot the minimum number of targets for a National Riile Association Award. Instruction and practice was limited to the prone and sitting position. Some of the older and more experienced campers such as GARY KRUGMAN and RICK SATURN werex allowed to fire from all positions. Lew and Rick tried to make firing enjoyable and challenging. Group instruction was kept to a mini- mum so that the maximum time could be spent on actual firing where individual corrections were made and instructions given. MIKE ZWILLMAN of the SPARROWS was our most enthusiastic student. His youth and size made it diflicult for him to stabilize the riile but his enthusiasm more than made up for it. It was cleary diflicult for him to not run down range as soon as he had completed firing to see how he had done!
