This yeor was a fine year for the Stags, but the future looks even brighter. Only five letter- men will be lost to the team through graduation or tronsfer. Indeed they will be hard to replace, but Jim Williams ' fine coaching staff will be blest with many returning standouts of this past season. Frank Kelsey (Bottom) is o prime example. As a junior this year he accounted for 1,956 yards of total offense, and completed 117 of 260 tosses for 1,508 yards and 6 touchdowns. With his return, the squad will hove one of the finest quarterbacks in the NAIA. Two other standouts of this season, Mike Wilfley (Above) and Ron Liner (Right) will also be returning. With so much experienced talent coming bock, next season ' s team will certainly be assured of success and quite possibly a league championship.

The Claremont-Mudd varsity football team opened their season with a big victory over arch rival Pomona, and kept on rolling until the first victorious season in the Stag ' s history hod been achieved, it was a united effort that made this season a winning one. And a tribute is due to both the coaches, with their outstanding ability, and the players, with their unending desire. Overall, the Stags finished with a 6-3 record, and took fourth place in league play with a mark of 2-3. Certoinly the record could have been even greater, but for the combined totol of four points that they lost to Occidental and Redlands by. The statistics show clearly the fine season both the defense and the Kelsey led offense en- joyed. The Stags scored 160 points to their oppon- ent ' s 126. They outrushed their opponents 1,268 to 1,216 yards and outdistanced them in the air- ways 1,508 to 1,155 yards.

And mos t certainly the experience was benificioi, for under the coaching of Fuzz Merritt, John Zinda, and Mike Noonan the team was provided with an excellent and well qualified group of instructors.
