Despite their mediocre 2-5 record, the Loyola Warriors varsity football team can take at least one consolation in the fact that they compiled the best defensive record to their credit in a good many years. The high point in the Warriers’ fourth year in the Ontario Intercollegiate Foot- ball Conference schedule was their last league game which saw them pitted against the undefeated University of Ottawa Gee Gees. The Maroon and White had to beat the Gee Gees by seven points in order to win the Western Division OSL title and thereby gain the right to meet the Eastern Division champions, Ottawa St. Pats. The Loyola twelve defeated Royal Military College, and only lost by one point to the Carlton University Ravens in OSL action. However Carlton dropped a 27- 19 decision to Ottawa therefore giving a chance for the Warriors. The latter lost 8-0 to the Gee Gees and thus lost their opportunity for the Western OSL honours. In retrospect, this was a banner year for football at Loyola. At the height of the training camp there were over 60 candidates vying for a regular position on the varsity squad. When a junior varsity team was inaugurated, over 100 candidates tried out for the team. This is no doubt the largest turnout in Loyola’s football his- tory and a good omen of things to come. The key person in the upsurge in football interest was Loyola’s new athletic Director, Ed Enos, former defensive coach of the Montreal Alouettes. Enos took a keen interest in both the training camp and the games themselves, and was a valuable supplement to coach Don Preston’s staff. The bulk of the plaudits for the 1965 version of the football team were directed towards the defensive unit. Mike Williams and Dave ‘Butch’ McIninch finished off four years of varsity football by once again leading the way in their respective halfback spots. Dave Shelley and Gene D’Iorio put in commendable performances at the lineback positions. The defensive team’s fortunes were diminished somewhat when top lineman Brian Wynn suffered a broken jaw in the second game of the season. Wynn’s absence plus a few other key injuries sent Jack Sutton, Ross Tellier, and Mike Williams into the two-way action near the clos- ing of the regular schedule. Heading the offensive corps was junior Cass Quinn who combined strong run- ning ability with good hands to lead the Warriors in ‘yards gained’ for the year. Bill Sheasgreen, Hugh Adams, and Ron Sekeres shared the other two halfback spots while burly Chris Turner worked out of the fullback position. The big question mark at the beginning of the year was who was to be the successor of quarterback Bernie Young. The number of candidates was narrowed down to two a few weeks before Loyola’s only exhibition game against Dalhousie University. The lemieux, who nursed a weak knee all season, received the starting assignment but eventually Robinson was given a chance only to suffer a broken leg in the second last game of the season. As a final analysis it can be said that the 1965 version of the Loyola Warriors’ football team was perhaps pound for pound one of the top entries in the OIFC. Those 39-6 scores with Loyola on the losing end were not seen this year. The Maroon and White fielded a relatively young and sma!l team but they made their presence felt in every game, as can be easily evidenced by their reputable defensive record. GZ eseg
