E L T Sea... SAMMAMISH 7, LAKE WASHINGTON 13 After some violent weather Friday night, the Lake Washington game was played an the following Monday. The Totems punted out of trouble after a scoreless lst quarter, only to have the punt run back to their own 38. The Kangaroos then drove to the one-yard line on several plunges, a 13 yard pass, a three yard run, and runs of seven and three. From there, quarterback Keith Hamish smashed through. For the rest of the half neither team could go anywhere. Late in the second quarter, the Totems blocked a punt into the end zane with Jay Spaulding right on it. Bob Ward ran the extra point and tied it 7-7. The Lakers, receiving in the second half, drove practically to the goal line. The Totems held, but were soon forced to punt out, The punt was returned to the 28, but a penalty moved it to the 43. After several plays they were back at the Sammamish seven setting up for a field goal attempt. Two penalties later, the Kangs were back on the 29. Sammamish got the ball, but the Lakers took it and passed to the two. Olne play later they scored again. In the fourth quarter, the Totes got going, but they lost a fumble while the Kangaroos played out the clock. SAMMAMISH 39, FEDERAL WAY 7 With a much improved offense, the Totems finally chalked up a big win. Sammamish kicked off. Soon the Eagles lost the ball on the Sammamish 32, the Totems drove down- field, and Ward ran in for the first TD. Federal Way moved it up to the 32 by the end of the first quarter where Sammamish took over and moved the ball to the Eagle 50. One penalty and one play later, the Totes were in a fourth and 22 situation on their own 28. From there Gary Dantini ran 27 yards for the first down. Sammamish drove to the six losing the ball on a fumble. The next play saw the Totems recover a fumble on the three, but Richards smashed through for the touchdown. After the kickoff, the Eagles couldn't move. A straight-up punt was downed on their 43. With a few seconds left in half, Jim Reilly ran to the 237 and Reed threw a pass to Broetie in the end zone just after the gun, leaving the score 'I9-O at halftime. Sammamish received in the second half, but they had a pass intercepted. On the next play, Federal Way fumbled. 'Several plays later Ferguson went all the way in. The Eagles offense clicked, scoring their sole touchdown. On the next kickoff, Dantini ran the ball back to the Federal Way 30, but then the Totes fumbled.

SAMMAMISH 18, MOUNT Sl 0 Finally winni.ng their first game of the season, Totem gridsters trounced Mt. Si 18-O on our own turf. The offense continued to be a little shaky, but the defense was strong with Mt. Si gaining only 69 yards rushing. Sammamish received the first kickoff, and several first downs and fumbles later, Ferguson was back to punt and ran 19 yards just short of a first down. The Totes then held, and Reed pitched to Ward who ran 67 yards for a touchdown. After the kickoff, Mt. Si was held to minus yardage, while Dave Oswald blocked the punt and recovered on the Mt. Si 25. A penalty put the Totems in a 3rd and 14, with Dantini and Richards moving the ball to iust short of a first down. Mt. Si took to the air, but center Jack Playstead intercepted a third down pass on 25 and ran untouched for the TD. After the second half kickoff, Mt. Si was again unable to move. Ward ran the punt back to the Mt. Si 44. Ferguson ran 31 yards around the left end, Ward gained four, and Dantini 10, for a first down and goal to go on the six. Ward moved two more yards, then fullback Richards smashed through from 4 yards out. There was little scoring in the fourth quarter. SAMMAMISH 0, ISSAQUAH 20 Good luck for the Indians and misfortune for the Totems spelled a 20-0 shutout against Sammamish. The statistics were barely on Issaquah's side, and the high score was the result of the play in crucial situations. ln the first quarter with Sammamish receiving, lssaquah got the ball and drove to the Totem 17 with a 45 yard run by Adams. ln the sec- ond quarter, Sammamish held, managing to get the ball on their owfn 13. An off side penalty moved them halfway to the goal where they stayed to punt. They might as well have run it because Bill Haro received the ball and drove back to the ten. Two plays later, lssaquah was over. The Totems took the kickoff on the 22, driving it to the lssa- quah 22. A fourth down incomplete pass gave the ball back to the Indians. Then lssa- quah drove into Sammamish territory in a few plays, but the half ended. lin the second half, lssaquah receiving, the team drove to the 14 and passed into the end zone. Shortly thereafter, lssaquah intercepted a pass running it to the Totem 16. Several plays later, Haro ran 20 yards for the TD. Sammamish recovered several fumbles, but the game ended before they could score. -vw-Ms:,,,ws:.:wf2Ei?1:. ..

Z.. SAMMAMISH 39, FOSTER T9 ln the last home game of the season, Sammamish tromped over Foster 39-19, as Bob Ward set a league rushing record of 270 yards. Foster scored first on a blocked punt after the Totems worked to midfield. Receiving the kickoff, Bob Ward was deep in Fos- ter territory in two plays. Shortly after, Sammamish drove nearly to the goal line with Ward smashing through. Foster received, got minus yardage, then punted. Ward ran to the Sammamish 30. The Totems then drove into Bulldog territory with five first downs, and Ward swept around right end for the TD. After one more ground attempt, Foster passed, ran to the eight, and went over. Three plays later, with the Totems receiving, Ward broke loose and went 60 yards as his ball bounced off a front row Bulldog into his arms. Again Ward went through to the end zone but he had stepped out of bounds on the 24. Following this, Reed passed to Dantini in the end zone. Reed converted, the score was 27-13. Foster started passing and closed out their scoring with another TD. Just before the third quarter ended, Ward tightroped 44 yards along the left sidelines for his final tally. The next time the Totems got the ball, they worked to the 37, and Reed again connected with Dantini in the end zone with a minute on the clock to close the scoring. SAMMAMISH 20, BOTHELI. 6 ln our best game of the season the Totems beat Bothell, moving Sammamish into a solid fourth place in the final KingCo football league standings. Bothell gained only 43 yards an the ground to Sammamish's 202. Sammamish kicked off first, and Bothell had to punt. Dennis Reed then passed to Doug Broetie who ran to the Cougar's ten. Ferguson made it across in three more plays. Bothell worked to the Sammamish 30, but no further. Several plays later, the Cougars intercepted a pass, but had to punt right away. Richards and Ward quickly moved the ball up to the goal line where Reed sneaked it over. Then the Bothell quarterback started connecting and passed for a near touchdown, but Ferguson intercepted a pass in the end zone. Sammamish played out the clock the rest of the half. Ward, receiving the second halt kickoff, raced from his own ten to the Bothell 30. Two plays later they were on the 40, where Ward passed to Dantini who was downed on the 23.
