FGOTBALL STRO G FINISH Bad Start. . . Great Finish The Spartans started the '71 grid season in typical fashion--with a loss. It was a lon tri to Gladstone, 8 P ending in a longer trip home as Marist fell to the Gladiators by a decisive 53-O score. The next week looked a little brighter, the Spartans were taking another long trip. . . to Bandon. It was another downfall as the Spartans were held scoreless for the second straight week and a 40-0 score depressed the school for a whole week. The next Week, though, the tables were turned, as the Spartans dished it out themselves, defeating Oak- ridge by 30 to 8. Next was the first home game, and the Spartans made it good with a 14-0 victory over the Philomath Warriors. The challenge of the year came against the league champion, junction City. The team felt it could win with a good game, like it had in the previous two games. But the chance didn't come. Mistakes and errors were the factors in this game and the Tigers won by 20-0. The next week defeat struck again. This time against Elmira. Things looked good at halftime with Marist leading by 14-7, but Elmira came out of the locker room fired up, and scored 21 points in the third quarter, 13 in the fourth to hand Marist a 41-22 setback. Pleasant Hill was just too much for the Spartans as the Billies handed Marist a 20-12 defeat. In the homecoming contest, Crewsell was victimized as the Spirit of Marist claimed a 20-0 victory. In the year's final contest, with Maris1:'s archrival, Central Linn, the Spartans eked out a 21-20 victory The score indicates it was a close game, but it was completely dominated by Marist, which had a potent offense and a muscle defense. The Win gave the Spartans a 4-5 overall record, and a 4-3 league mark. Not bad for a team which was picked to finish last before the season got under way. 42 Coach De Autremont watches action close. i Tim Sullivan runs around end for extra yardage.
