After having an exeellent season in football and suffering only one defeat, We had to meet our friendly foes from Aurora in our annual clash. It was decided a few years baek that our games with St, Andrew 's were to be limited to one, the last of the season. ln an effort to bring about at more peaceful and m01'e friendly attitude between the sehools, it was also decided that the two schools would be hosts in alternate years and the visiting team would be guests for dinner. For this game we had been vigorously eonditioned, while our morale and spirit, as a team, had soared to an almost insurmountable level. Everyone had been thinking of this game for a week or two before the scheduled date. The day before the game we had a light workout and a brief eha.lk-talkw. That night everyone retired early. Hn the day of judgment , everyone arose for breakfast and the usual elasses, but there was a tension in the air unlike that before any other game. As we ran on to the field we reeeived a heartvwarming ovation from the ardent fans of both sehools. Sixteen
The moment the kick-off whistle blew, the pent-up tension was re- leased and our nerves calmed as we concentrated on the game with all abstract thoughts discarded. Our confidence was gained on the first play, when we went for a first down. Although we fought hard throughout the first quarter, St. Andrew's managed to capitalize on two of our mistakes, with a touch- down. We fought back dauntlessly, however, and were soon rewarded with a touchdown, thus ending the quarter with a tie score. The second quarter saw more of a wide open ball game. St. Andrewls struck for two consecutive touchdowns, but we held the fort and retaliated with two touchdowns to balance the score. Had it not been for a case of butter fingers , which resulted in a safety touch, putting them ahead by two points, we wouldnit have had an even score at half-time. The Goliaths'i were quite surprised that we Davids should hold them in an even tussle. This was probably the turning point in the game, because even though we had a deficit of two points our spirit and morale were at that same un- surpassed height, while the 'tSaints began to crumble under the pressure. In previous years our teams were usually so far behind that their spirit was killed and the '4Saints rolled on to victory without too much opposition. But not so this year. The two teams returned well rested, but the Saints were uneasy in their minds for their tempers began to flare up resulting in their bickering among themselves, thus driving the thorn in deeper. The quarter ended with us deep in their zone, bruised but still fighting. On the first or second play of the final quarter we plunged over for a touchdown and a convert to end the scoring for the game. The rest of the game continued with our spirit mounting, and our anxiety to maintain the lead probably prevented us fr-om making any serious mistakes, when a Saint was ejected for fighting the game was more or less placed in our hands for sure. The final whistle found us deep in their territory, pressing for another touchdown. This game climaxed for me the best football season in my career. Above all, in my final year of participating for Pickering, I was a member of a team which had the best win-loss record since 1939, and this team, after following in the footsteps of teams from the last nine years, picked up the standard, carried it into enemy territory, planted it there and in doing so ended their supremacy in this annual event. It had been my ambition to conquer those red-men , since first wearing a senior uniform four years ago and at last we did, but it took four years of patience and a rekindling of the desire each fall. -BOB KING Verentecn
