A 48-yard Indian touchdown pass in the final period of the game lifted Molalla to a 12-8 victory over Sandy. The Pioneers built a 7-0 lead in the third quarter on a spectacular 87-yard pass intercep- tion by Frontiersman speed- mer- chant Brent Peterson, who hijacked the pass on his own 13 and raced down the gridiron untouched.

The number one grid outfit in the state came to town a week later and the Crusaders of Jesuit sent the Frontiers- men down to their fourth straight defeat with a 24-0 victory. Jesuit, which hadn't lost in 3. 5 years at the time of this game, was held scoreless for the first 22 minutes before breaking loose for four TD's. Again Weisen, Williams, Boyles and Huserik were standouts in defeat along with Paul Wunische and Don Pullen. Win-hungry Pioneers shot down the Canby Cougars 20-0 in the next game for the first victory of the season. TD's were scored by Weisen, Peterson and Williams. William's educated toe accounted for the two conversion counters. Peterson's tally came on a 78-yard scamper after a timely block by Williams, recording Sandy's second longest run from scrimmage. Only Jon Sandstrom, '65, with a 81-yard romp against Molalla in 1963 topped Peterson's feat. The counter gave the 190-pound, redheaded senior his 92nd career point, topped only by Bill Henselman, '59. Roger Williams, Sandy's hard-charging fullback, rescued the Pioneers from football disaster at the hands of The Dalles Indians. His fourth quarter surge brought two touchdowns and a 14-6 victory. The powerful Pioneer gained over 100 yards as he smashed through the Indian line time and time again. This win provided the two in a row for the season. Injuries plagued the Frontiersmen when they gave battle but lost to the Central Panthers 34-6. After Sandy had driven down the field in the opening minutes of the game, Williams crashed over from the one for the evening's first score, then misfortune struck. On the ensuing try for the extra point, Williams, who also does the kicking, was belted by a 280-pound tackle. The instant Williams' foot hit the ball, his leg was frac- tured in two places. This brought to an end his high sch- ool football and basketball careers. And if that wasn't enough, Halfbacks Dean Phelps and Dennis Weisen were also put on the injured list, Weisen (continued to page 22) 21

J.V. TALLIES GOOD YEAR The JV Bucks ended the season with a 3-3-1 record. The defensive team generally did a good job, holding two teams scoreless. The offense started slowly but began to really click near the end of the season. In the third and fourth games, two outstanding players were lost due to injuries, Cliff Sandercock with a broken leg and Mike Leary with a knee injury.
