SPORTS ' 73 SENIOR FOOTBALL Probably the best Senior Football team Northwestern ever mustered together started last spring when Coach Bell and Coach Wright took over the reins. The season started with the Spring Clinic in May where the coaches looked over all prospective players. Then training camp opened on Aug. 28 with 11 players out. We started on fundamentals and prepared for our first games. We played 2 exhibition games, the first against Regina Mundi College of London. We were well prepared and all psyched up to win our first game and did by 13-0. But unfortunately we lost our second game to a very powerful Palmerston game. Offensively under Coach Wright the backfield was drilled on execution of the plays for our tough season ahead. Our passing game was extremely effective with the newly found talent in Herb Christmann and Larry Commerford. Our running game was very strong, especially up the gut with Doug Horst and Dave Mclntyre at fullback. Then there was Coach Bell ' s Interior 5, the men of the team, led by center Joe Klumper and tackle Blaine Luckhardt They made holes big enough to drive trucks through. Defensively we were unscorable on all our home games. Our 4-man line was very successful in handling the trench while the secondary sealed off the attackers passing game. Some of the highlights of the past year was that we came out with a 3 win and 4 loss record that no other N.W. Senior team reached. We blanked all of our opposition on our home field. One of them was a grueling defensive battle in which our safety Jim Monster Mitchell made a key tackle in the dying minutes and 2 interceptions to give us a 1-0 win over Clinton. Other wins were against Listowel 12-0 and St. Mary ' s 34-0. It was a very exciting and rewarding year and the coaches are looking forward to next year ' s team. JUNIOR FOOTBALL The juniors had their best year ever ending up in the finals of the Huron Perth Championship. Although they lost to Wingham, the team provided exciting football during the season and in the finals. The highlight of the year was the victory over South Huron Junior Champions for the last three years by the score of 10-0. Our juniors played an almost perfect game. On that particular day they could have beaten any junior team in the province. A football team is a group of individuEils working as a team achieve success. In every team there are certain individuals that stand out over the others. Doug Schippling, Norbert Christman, Don Blum and Doug Anderson were exceptionally good back- fielders along with Mark Hammer, John Player and Ross Mathison on the offensive line. Bill McArthur, our 255 lb. end along with our defensive backs, such as Blatre Dellair, Wayne Koebel and Jim Minifie, played exceptional ball on defense. Sixteen boys are returning next year. We are looking forward to another good season. GOLF At the Huron-Perth Golf Tournament held at Listowel on September 29, the Northwestern team placed 4th out of nine other schools in the competition. Northwestern was well represented by Ed Wilkinson, Bud Dixon, Mark Baun, and Jamie Pyper. Weather conditions due to heavy rains, made the playing difficult, but our boys never lost heart. The teams scores for the different schools were as follows: Listowel 333 Mitchell 359 Wingham 345 Central 361 Goderich 347 Seaforth 369 Northwestern 349 Exeter 371 349 Clinton Exeter 383 With any Luck, by next year Northwestern ' s Golf Team should again be in W.O.S.S.A. competition.
