The Blue Eagles mustered a final drive with 30 seconds left and when the final whistle blew the ball was on the Fairhaven 1-yard line. The Clark to McLean combination worked all afternoon and Allan Young, along with Doug Griswold, turned in fine offensive efforts for P-C. At the Blue Eagles last home game on November 6, Randolph squeaked by P-C, 14-6, in another ex- citing game. Spotting the Blue Devils on an 8-0 lead, the Blue Eagles scored when Don McLean caught a 19 yard pass from Johnny Clark and ran into the end zone. When Randolph made a fourth quarter touchdown the Eagles tried their best to pull the game out. But four dropped passes failed P-C in the final minutes. Senior signal-caller Johnny Clark played a fine game for the Blue Eagles. On November 13 at Scituate, P-C suffered their . Y' ...A 8 1 seventh loss of the season, 32-0. Despite a first half downpour, Sailor quarterback Connolly used end sweeps and roll-outs to pace the Scituate at- tack. The Blue Eagles' offense couldn't get rolling at all against a stalwart Sailor defense. At Kingston on Thanksgiving Day, the Blue Eagles met Silver Lake Regional High School, a team with a 2-6 record at game time. Neither team could score in the first half, but Silver Lake totaled 6 points with a pass to Bartlett. Quarterback Jeff Mendall converted and the Lakers led 7-0. Bill Beal scored for P-C soon after, but the two point con- version which would have resulted in victory, fell short. Both teams tried to improve the scoring but superb defense made that impossible. Final score: P-C 6, Silver Lake 7. Johnny Clark, Bill Stearns and Don McLean played an outstanding offensive game. Joel Botelho, Mike Babini, and Ron St. George showed a fine defensive effort for P-C. IJ L 53 ss I ss fl N ., I l 1 3 1 !

The 'isiting Sachens rolled up a 20-8 score at half-time nd sewed up the contest with two touchdowns in he fourth quarter. The Blue Eagles couldn't pene- rate the tough Middleboro defense but scored once n a Clark to McLean pass. Ed Kralsowski, Wayne 'into, and Ron St. George played outstanding de- ense for P-C. The following Saturday a powerful unning team from Whitman-Hanson invaded Ply- nouth and simply overpowered the Blue Eagles, 6-0, for P-C's fourth straight loss of 1965. Using nd sweeps and keepers, Panther quarterback John lenson, with fine blocking support, carried Whit- ian-Hanson over the Blue Eagle defense. The P-C efenders were constantly on the field as a result f eight pass interceptions. At Abington on October 23 the Green Wave used wo quick third period touchdowns to defeat P-C, 0-12. Once again the Blue Eagles couldn't get tarted until it was too late. Co-captain Bob Janson nd quarterback Johnny Clark scored for the Blue Eagles on runs of 20 and 2 yards respectively. ohnny Clark, Billy Butters, and Bob Janson were utstanding in P-C's offensive effort.

VARSITY FOOTBALL The Plymouth-Carver Blue Eagles dedicated their new on campus field on Saturday, September 25, 1965. Hosting Bridgewater-Raynham, the Blue Eagles could not christen their new field with a victory, as the Trojans outlasted the Eagles 14-8 in a real thriller. After Bridgewater-Raynham had scored twice, Plymouth-Carver's Dave Maccaferri picked up a fumble and ran forty yards. But it wasn't quite enough. Don McLean proved in this first game he was the best punter in the Southeast Conference with several booming kicks. The P-C eleven travelled the following Saturday to Rockland but the Blue Eagles chopped another close one, 12-6. The Plymouth-Carver boys domi- nated the second half but once again a two touch- down deficit was too much to overcome. The Blue Eagles scored when Don McLean grabbed a seven yard touchdown pass from quarterback Johnny Clark. Ron St. George should be praised for his fine defensive work for P-C. Pray for peace!

In mentioning the Senior members of the 1965-66 P-C football team, a distinct pride comes over us. These men have Worked long and hard for three years. The first year was victory and all the glory and cham- pionship jackets that went with it. The next two years were very different. Our men had to develop a different pride and stick-to-it- tive-ness. They never gave up, and We are sure that this was what made them men!
