St. Theresa went beyond ex- pectations and downed a rug- ged Pine Crest High, 31-7, in their first game of the season. Taking advantage of the Fort Lauderdale team's fumbles, Ellison and Di Camillo had a field day passing the goal line, with O'Hanion making a spectacular diving catch in the end zone. JIM ELLISON JACK ELLISON St. Theresa continued on its high scoring campaign as it whisked by the Shamrocks of St. Patrick's, 46-6, Touch- down seemed to be the word of the day for the Musketeers as they rode the high winds past the ill-fated Miami Beach team. In an important Conference game, the Musketeers took another step towards the crown in defeating St. Ann's, 20-7. With Ellison again mak- ing two touchdowns and pass- ing for another, the Musket- eers looked as if they might have their first Catholic Con- ference title in the bag. ALBERT CARRICARTE ty E L A s T r FRANK DI CAMILLO 'A WARLAND GRIFFITH A long bus ride and a powerful Key West High team proved to be too much for the Musketeers as they put up a futile bout, only to lose, 20-O. Finding the ground work too slow QB Ellison took to the air, only to find the Conchs greedily intercepting. This was our first defeat of the season.

St, Theresa rambled on as they proved the critics to be wrong by flattening the Hia- leah eleven, 13-O. Smith and Ellison used the last quarter to score against the Thoro- breds in an exciting game, one that was an important win for Coach Homko. RON KNOWLES JOHN MACKIN The Musketeers won their first Catholic Conference Crown by defeating Central Catholic, 19-13. ln an evenly- matched game the Raiders came from behind to tie up the game, 13-13. But sparked by HB Jack Ellison and the desire for the title, St. Theresa scored in the dying minutes to give shaken Mr. Homko his long-awaited Conference trophy. RAY KNOWLES TIM REILLY The Musketeers closed the season in grand style by whipping the Golden Rams of St. Anastasia, 58-7. The Homecoming crowd at Comb- er Field saw the second team in fine condition for the first time, while they alternated with the first team, who made the touchdowns almost faster than the score-keepers could tally them. Belle GIade's Rams gave St. Theresa their second de- feat in the hardest-fought game of the season. Barely able to move against the tight opposing defenses, neither team knew whose game it was until the closing whistle. lt looked as if either team might explode any second, but the Rams held their seven point lead until the end.
