This, combined with the running of Paul Smith and Phil Vandecar, meant paydirt for the Dukes. Scoring twice in the first quarter, once in the second quarter, and twice in the third period, the Dukes shifted into high gear, intercepting passes, running interference, and block- ing kicks. YORK 24 - DAVID CITY O York celebrated its second Homecoming by trouncing the Scouts in an easy contest at East Hill Park, October 15. The victory assured the York gridironers of second place in Central Ten standings. Scoring once each quarter, the Dukes marked up a 461-net yard gain as compared to TOO by the Scout tribe, who penetrated deep into Duke territory only three times. Highlighting the game were passes from Duane Smith to ends Bob Harry and Gary Mosier. J. Lmderholm YY J. Lundy YY

M ,,.' : ,fswr Wai H. Blair YY YORK 34 - COLUMBUS 7 For the season's opener, September TO, the Dukes trampled the Discoverers on home ground. The York eleven, after registering on the ground, took to the air to experiment with a wicked combination of aerial attacks. Outstanding were linemen Harvey Blair and Dick Dearing, who both recovered fumbles, led interference, and tackled with professional ease. YORK 25 - FAIRBURY I2 Definitely having the edge of power were the Dukes on September I7, although they were not as alert as in the season's opener. At, the half York had forged a l2'6 count with two touchdowns by Gary Epp. Fairbury was competent in capturing York's fumbles, which often hurt the Dukes. The Jeffs tied the score following a 60-yard reverse. It proved to be a useless attempt, however, as the Dukes chartered the course for the rest of the game. G. Epp YY I , . v v 1. R. Deering YY YORK T8 - SEVVARD l9 First defeat of the season was doled out by Seward in a close game, September 24, at East Hill. The enthusiasm and pep talks were to no avail in overcoming the season's rival. Although the Bluejays were in command most of the way, Duane Nien- hueser's sparkling tackles and interception were a thorn in their side. YORK 33 - CRETE O Gary Epp's 86-yard TD in the first quarter and Paul Smith's offensive game were highlights in the Crete game, October l. Paul's series of three touch- downs sparked the York eleven to an easy win. York powerhoused their way for a 389 net yardage to Crete's feeble lOl-yard attempt. Defensive play by .lim Linderholm, Jim Lundy, and Louis Light bul- warked the Dukes. Pass catches by Bob Harry were also outstanding. N. Gross Y -9633

fQl EYES ON THE BALL-Jim Opitz and Gary Epp v , - during the Schuyler game. YORK 39 - SCHUYLER O Boosting their record to six wins and one loss, the Dukes clobbered Schuyler in a warm-up game, October 22. The scoring for the Dukes by quarters ran 6 - T3 - 7 - 13. Three touchdowns by quarterback Duane Smith and two by fullback Jack Kemp set the pace for the rugged York squad. YORK T2 - CURTIS 33 October 29 was the last game for the senior teammates. This game with the Curtis Aggies bogged down oftensively at critical moments. The trip-wearied Dukes just seemed to lack the power. At the kickoff it looked as it the Dukes were going all the way, but lost the ball on downs. That seemed to be the story the rest ot the night as the Dukes' drives were squelched deep in Aggie territory. The Aggies also thrived on the many York fumbles. K R.
