Coach Bennett worked his men all week getting prepared for the Braves. The wet field matched only Sterling's wet offense. The Warriors could not find the way to the goal line. The Braves lead at half time by nineteen points. Behind by 19 points the Warriors played catch up football. Needing to score quickly Bill Grey started putting the ball in the air. Time after time a Warrior had the ball then lost the handle to it. Bob Lewis was the leading receiver with four receptions. As in previous games the defensive unit drew much of the playing time. The defensive team four times got the ball for the offense but no score re- sulted. John Blackwell, Bill Taylor and Eli Visnisch were credited with a fumble recovery. The Front Four of the Warriors held the Braves hard running backs for only 100 yards rushing. Final score Sterling-0--Ottawa-32. 117

Neither team was able to mount very much offensive. However in the third period Baker scored. Previously John Blackwell had intercepted a Wildcat pass and raced to paydirt, a penalty completely away from the play brought the ball back. Down by seven points the Warriors tried to get on the scoreboard. Many times Sterling was in scoring position but were unable to get into the end zone. Ernie Spore led the Warriors on the ground, with an average of ,3 yards a carry. Ernie suffered a kid- ney injury, consequently he was out for the season. Doug Herrick was the leading receiver a total of 49 yards on three receptions. Steve Riley had an excellent punting average of 42.8. Standouts on de- fense were Jim Abramson and Eli Visnisch, who were the leading tacklers. Final score Sterling-0--Baker 7. I'11 make it? Q
