End R ck Hunt rece ves a pass clu I g the Robinson game C , Football Scores low It was a season of few touchdowns as the Hurricanes scored 86 points, while their opponents scored 242 in play against them. The opening game against Sarasota at Hawkins Stadium started slowly for the Hurricanes. At the end of the first half, the score was 13 to 7 in favor of the Sailors. It was very evident when play resumed that the 'Canes had reached hurricane force as they sank the Sailors in an exciting second half, 33 to 13. ln their next six Western Conference gridiron bat- tles, the 'Canes were defeated. Scoring only 13 points to Robinson's 47, and in one of the most ex- citing games of the season, Manatee lost to Plant 13 to 6. The Hurricanes failed to score in the next four games. Manatee then faced the Ocala Wildcats. The Wildcats left Hawkins Stadium tamed by a score of 21 to 7. In the last two conferenceg games, the 'Canes were defeated by Jefferson and Lakeland. The Jefferson game was exciting and heartbreaking as they downed the Hurricanes 14 to 13. Lakeland's 22 to O win over Manatee brought an end to a long, hard season for the Hurricanes.

Two Wins Climax Junior Varsity eason Robert O'DonneII is broug It was a disappointing season for the Manatee Junior Varsity Football team and its coaches, William Mur- ray and Hugh Thimlar. Both the team and coaches put in endless hours of hard work in preparation for the gridiron battles of the season. The Junior Varsity traveled to Sarasota to open its '64 season. The Sailors sent the Jayvees home scoreless, while they tallied 26 points. After another week of hard practice the Jayvees headed for Ft. Myers looking for their first win. Ft. Myers scored T9 points to the Junior Varsity's 6. Facing Chamberlain for their first home gridiron contest of the season, the Jayvees gave the fans something to cheer about as they downed Chamber- lain 25 to 0. In the next two games the Jayvees were defeated by Lakeland 20 to O, and then by Winter Haven 43 to 0. The Junior Varsity closed its season with a 7 to 13 win over Jesuit.
