Xl, X - xx, X 'xg f X TN' Mission: Competition Archer athletic teams and coaches undertook the mission of building strong unified teams which would uphold the high standards of Kelly sportsmanship. Success came to these teams in many forms-making a touchdown, shoot- ing a lay-up, breaking par, or crossing the finish line first. Regardless of the outcome of the team's efforts, sports- manlike conduct was ever present and first in importance. To complete his mission successfully, the athlete com- bined his physical and mental powers. During a contest he worked his body to its maximum potential while he mentally plotted his movements. Leadership and inspira- tion were continually offered to the Archer athlete from his coach. Working together as a team unified in spirit proved to be the key to Kelly success. 12 TQXX ff W SX

Crippled Kellys Achieve 6- Recordg Injured and dejected. Seniors Rex Melchi and Bob Laster watch as their teammates are overpowered by the Bishop Luers Knights. Plagued by the loss of five offensive players early in the season, the Archers tied for fourth place in the city series standings. Predicted at the beginning of the season to be a major contender for the city title, the Green got off to their worst start in tive years by losing their first two games, and never threatened for the city title. The Archer squad then stormed back to win the next six games before dropping the season's finale to Central Catholic for the third year in a row. Coached by Robert Gernand and his staff, the Archers used the diversified single-wing offense. The defense held the opposition to a total of 75 points for an average of 8.3 points per game. The Kellys won the preseason jamboree game against North Side, 6-0. The Green were led by Senior fullback Bill Watson, who scored five touchdowns during the season to win scoring honors at South Side. Junior Randy Rhoades was runner- up for scoring honors with three touchdowns credited to him. Senior and junior halfbacks, Bobby Lucas and Andy Gunkler, each tallied two touchdowns. Senior Bill Moore and juniors Willie Simmons and Rob Ashe each got one touchdown. Senior Al Williams kicked five extra-point conversions and scored one touchdown. It was Williams' extra points that won the Elmhurst and Columbia City games for South. Four Archers were selected to the All-City team. Bill Watson made first string defensive cornerback, and second string fullback. Senior guard Randy Wamsley made the first team offensive squad. Named to the second team were senior offensive tackle Tom Snider and junior defensive linebacker John Fisher. Watson was one of four players in the city to go both ways. In a grueling game against New Haven, halfback Randy Rhoades picks up extra yardage as teammates Tom Snider 1791, Doug Stebing 1201, and Bill Watson 6357 open up a hole with key blocks. Rhoades went on to score the only two touchdowns of the game.
