CAPTAIN OF THE DEFENSE JACKIE MILLER SET HIS LINE AGAINST A TOUGH GABLES. Gables went nowhere as Fred Jones and Jim Browning ripped the offensive line and threw ball carrier for a fair loss. Defense Built Brick Wall To Shutout 4, Hold Gables Killian's defense proved itself many times on the field, contributing its share of sweat and guts to another winning sea- son for the Cougars. Sporting four shut- outs and holding opponents to a mere 8.6 points per game, it played hand in hand with the offense to wrap up Killian's third varsity season with an 8-3 record. Captain and star of the team, Jackie Miller, was one of two players to make Killian's first football Hall of Fame. He also made all- city and all-state. Two defensive highlights included holding Gables to 13 points while Killian marched to 19 and a staunchj strong effort to keep South Dade to threel yards as the Cougars romped to 314. An-I other defensive brick wall halted Mays at 67-yards. Three fine feathers for the Cou- gar defensive claws on its way to district. Jack Miller, Frank Walker, Dwight Palmore keyed on a Springs Player and succeeded in forcing a welcomed fumble to give offense a second chance.
