Lexington quickly established “ruaning attack against elmont, and it was the ability to in effectively that allowed the linutemen to contro! the tempo f the game. While the larauders were rarely able to jount a sustained offensive rive, Lexington kept the ball for mg periods of time, eating up ie clock and grounding out the ardage. f Lexington scored once early in an ns Belmont scored their two touchdowns in quick bursts; the first a 99 yard return of an interception, and the second a 67 yard run from scrimmage.

Up front, a great individua performance from co-captail Mike Carey and eager sideline: play by hard-charging wing: Russ Whittaker and Mike Warc kept a strong attack mountec throughout the game. Lexington’s only injury in the physical contest was suffered by skilled halfback Dave Kinney. His bruised thigh will apparently not keep him sidelined for very long though. Others currently on the casualty list include Russ Lyon, a victim of mononucleosis. and swift wing Gary Lerner, out ‘temporarily with a sprained ankle. Both are rated as likely prospects for a return to the line- up before tomorrow's Wakefield battle. Coach Surette catalogued his team's few weaknesses as being a lack of aggressiveness by the men up front, some positioning difficulties. and trouble finding HS back to school night Back to School Night for parents, sponsored by the High School PTSA, will take place at Lexington High Sehool Tuesday, p. yeeee We Oe Ea SE Pee ee ee See
