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.

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 ,

Agreste took advantage of this error to tally our first 7 points. M. Dumas recovered an- other costly fumble and R. Dodge squirmed, twisted and finally reached the end zone for our second TD. COTE MARKS 50th WIN AGAINST THORNTON 25-O Despite the rather inclement weather, the Eagles took to the air and scored 3 of their 4 TD's on pass plays. Maurice, Little Moe, Dumas had a defen- sive field day by snatching two T.A. passes and re- covering a fumble. Thornton's first period quick start was cut short by our ever watchful defense who kept the opponents to a minimum. This win marked Cote's 50th win since he took over in 1957. 21 sen- iors had donned the blue and gold for the last time. This is the kind of weather in which our boys played . . . R. Dodge, T.
