J Q VARSITY FOOTBALL uarterfinals end team 's exciting season The varsity football team, under head coach Tom Smythe, showed complete dominance over all Wilco opponents. The Pacers rolled up nine straight victories before suffer- ing a disappointing loss at the hands of the Pendleton Buckaroos in the state's quarterfinal game in Pen- dleton. The league winning Pacers began training for their victorious '73 sea- son during the summer when many of the prospective lettermen spent a week at Sports Acres. This coastal camp gave them the desire and win- ning attitude that helped them into the state playoffs. The powerful offensive team, which crossed the goal-line an awe- some 45 times, was led by quarter- back John Pigott and tackle Tom Eilertson. The defense, being one of the most dominant in the state, al- lowed opponents to cross their goal- line a mere 10 times. The defense was led by linebackers John Cleary and Marshall Cromer, tackles Greg Marshall and Tom Eilertson, and defensive back Brian Charles. Coaches George Schull and John Fossatti deserve much credit for this year's success. With Jerry Grossen and Royce McDaniels also assisting, the Pacers were assured of any thing but an average season. In November, the AAA coaches cast their votes for the all-state teams. The Pacers placed more peo- ple on the first team than any other school. Placed on the offensive first team were Tom Eilertson and John Pigott. Those on the defensive first team were Greg Marshall, John Clea- ry and Marshall Cromer. Charlie Klever was placed as a running back on the third team. Those receiving honorable mention were Scott An- derson at running back, Brad John- ston at offensive guard, Brian Charles at defensive back and Greg Marshall at offensive tackle.

FALL After a hectic week of prepara- tions, including separate orientation programs for incoming freshmen and returning students, Lakeridge began its third year in existence. September was greeted by over 11 00 students anticipating a year of carrying out tradition rather than starting the new. Traditionally, the Pacer sports programs have been strong, but this was a banner season which sur- passed all others before it. By late October Lakeridge had everyone of the fall teams it fielded ranked in the top ten in Oregon. At seasons end, five girls and four boys traveled to the state gymnastics meet in Eugene. As the season came close to an end, the drama department present- ed the play, See How They Run. At the same time the speech team was in the midst of another success- ful year of competition, winning numerous trophies. 6 Fall
