Robert Whittaker set a record for three touchdowns in one ball-game. Place-kicker Charles Klinefelter set a record for field goals in one season (six) and the longest in a 4I yard ef- fort. Many other great individual efforts were achieved by line- 142 Varsity Football men Robbie Gilmartin, Rodney White, and Ronnie Petrie: line- backers Freddie Coleman and Roger Carter: running back Mi- chael Wright and especially the team’s emotional leader Troy Wheeler.
