Both upsets came in the last seconds of play. ln the Cheverus game, Cheverus lead at the half by 12-O but the Eagles soared back to a 12-12 tie with less than two minutes remaining. Un- willing to settle for a tie the Eagles went for the score but it backfired. Tom Thornton passed to his end jim Connely for the TD. M. MORIN GUARD EAGLES LOSE HEARTBREAKER AT SANFORD 19-20 At Sanford, hard running Ray Adams, Sanford quarterback, threw and connected in the final minute of the game to bring his team to victory. Both teams were well matched but a disastrous 15 yard penalty put them in a scoring position and they took complete advantage of this break. Our defensive unit as usual played extremely well. M. Morin is always in the thickest of battle. 155 5'1O I ,

By half time we had managed a co-CAPTAIN SESXTTEQZH 7-O lead only to see it threatened in the third gfg3CKIg11H quarter by a Tiger TD. The PAT, however, was unsuccessful and the Eagles kept it so. EAGLES HUMBLE RUMFORD 21-O Don Loranger, who had been changed from center to fullback contributed greatly to this victory. The Rumford line could not contain our heavy offensive attack due to the fact that We averaged 215 to their 190, Ace R. Agreste broke through the Stephens line time and time again until he brought the score up to 2l. N. Houde and R, Perreault played heads -up ball accounting for much of the outstanding defense Work. S. L. DEFENSE SLAMS CONY 23-O Our outstanding defensive line scored 17 of these 23 points. Upon the first fumble G. LaBrecque scooped up the ball and scooted for the first TD. Not to be outdone L.

BLUE AND GOLD EDGES SOUTH PORTLAND 12-6 For once the clock went in our favor! Our first tally came in the opening period when D. Landry, filling in for the in- jured T. Caouette, threw a 35 yard pass to D. Agreste who raced the remaining 45 yards for a touchdown. M. Dumas played a brilliant defensive game. Because of aggressive line play on the part of both teams, the game turned into a kicking duel between N. Daigle and F. Bettencourt. With less than 4 minutes to go, R. 4 A M. DUMAS BACK 139 5'6 A.

Loranger, we turned the tide of the game in the second half to overtake the Portland Bulldogs 12-7. A. Miller surprised the fans by mowing down in his attractive style heavier and fiercer foes all afternoon Agreste scored both touchdowns off set-ups by understudy M. Denon- cour and behind the bulldozing block- ing of co-captain D . Loranger, giving us an inkling to a probable state championship team. Agreste completed a 65 yard march on a pitchout play. This gave us our 4th win of the sea son. R. Maurice is stopped as Guignard Loranger, Denoncourt and Houde give it the old college try. M. Denoncourt hustles around end while picking up his blockers.
