MAGIC COMPANY OVER Z00 L to R Standing: Ken Lamey—Peyton Turk—Dave Higgs—Jim Nerad—Mike Miller—Jose Castelline—Tim Sulak—Mike { Ruttle—Joe Childress. Kneeling: Tom Griffin—Louie Perez—Jim Lacour—Tim Crowley—Larry Ezell—Rodney Tieken. An era is over. For the first time in five years the intramural football championship was not awarded to a Zoo team. The Magic Company dethroned the defending champs by taking advantage of an air-tight defense, an almost errorless offense, and a little extra help from the Big Man Upstairs. It was also the second year for the Best- of-three playoff format and, following another precedent set in 1973, the team that won the first game eventually went down to defeat. It was inevitable that the Magic Company and Zoo would meet in the finals. Their only setbacks during the regular season were against each other. The third playoff team, Purple Premont, had to beat two other teams in a special playoff to see who would meet in the semi-finals with the Zoo. The Magic Company received a bye to the finals, as they had the best regular season in the league record. The Zoo made short work of the feisty Premont team and the stage was set for the series that everyone was waiting for. 186 In all of their previous encounters, either the Zoo or Magic Company would be unbeatable for a half, and then fold in the late goings. The first play-off game was no exception, as Zoo came out roaring. It only took Zoo quarterback Rick Lindell 8 minutes to find his favorite receiver, Paul Burns, in the corner of the end-zone. Burns also gathered in the two point conversion. But two plays later and the Magi were right back in it when their quarterback, Peyton Turk, rifled a 30 yard strike to David Higgs, who scampered the remaining 30 yards for the score. It didn’t take the Zoo long to once again assume their dominance of the game, as Rick Candelario blocked a Magi punt, and another Lindell to Burns pass, plus a | point conversion to Kevin Noonan, gave the Zoo a half-time lead of 15 to 6. Both teams were dormant in the second half, the only score being tallied by the Magic Company on a three yard pass from Turk to flanker Louie Perez. The Zoo defense blanked the Magi the rest of the way, and the Zoo took a game edge in the series, edging the Magic Company 15 to 12. The second game showed the Magi holding on for dear life, and the Zoo as being extremely cocky. Turk and the Magi defense soon quieted the Zoo victory party talk, as they rolled over the bewildered Zoo, 22 to 8. League-leading scorer Joe Childress caught two Turk Aerials, and Perez grabbed one. The story of the game, however, was. the Magi defense, which held the Zoo to one || paltry touchdown, and even more indicative | of their tenacity, nailed Lindell twice for safeties. Ken Lamy stalled two Zoo drives’ with interceptions in the end-zone, and the defense as a whole completely stymied the Zoo, constantly giving their offense good field position. It was in the third, and final game that the Hand of the Almighty came through for the clean-living, church-going Magic Com- pany, and left the pagan Zoo out in the cold. The game was winding down to its last few seconds when a bolt of thunder from
