The game was played in front of the most enthu- siastic crowd of the season at Port Perry. The game was a tight defensive struggle which has been characteristic of the Redmen's play all season. Paul Jones and Greg Griffen played excellent, spirited games. 5 Lakers got on the board first as place-kicker John Sczczurko missed his first of three field goal attempts.

The Redmen struck quick- ly in the second quarter as Simmonds connected to Greg Rodd on the first play 'for the major score. In the first half it was the tough Redmen defence that con- trolled the game. At the end of the first half the fine Port Perry cheer- leading squad led several noisy fans in a massive cheer up and down the running track beside the field. In the third quarter the offense looked a little shaky as they turned the ball over twice, once on a Simmonds pass from his own three yard line which was run in for a Lakers touchdown by Chris Greaves. Port Perry also got an interception as defen- sive back Tim Bauer picked off a halfback option pass from Fred Upshaw. Play became a little dirty as there were numerous penalties called, including four on one play. The Redmen took a two point lead into the final quarter but it was not to last as running back Doug Mec- Nally scored the winning points on a 43 yard touch down run with less than six minutes remaining. The defense tried desperately late in the game to get the ball back but fell short. The visitors added a single on a punt and squeaked out a 15-10 hard earned victory. The loss was only the second of the season for the Redmen but it was the most costly as.they failed to make the playoffs, --- hh ARLE nwa Port lost the i Junior Redmen no match for Anderson Raiders . "by Danny Millar The junior Redmen of Port Perry High School concluded their football season as they were shutout 34 to 0 by the undefeated Anderson Raid- ers on Tuesday, October 24th in Whitby. Port Perry was never really in the contest as the Raiders jumped into a quick fourteen point lead at the end of one quarter. fence tightened in the second as they allowed Anderson just a single touchdown but they still trailed at the half 20 to 0. There were a few bright spots for Port as two Ander- son miscues were recovered by Steve Nesbit and John Mclead. The second half was not much better for Port as Quarterback Mike Barton threw an interception deep in Anderson territory which was run all the way back for a six-pointer-early in period three. The home team did put fourteen more points on the board en route to the - victory in the final two quarters. Again the encour- aging moments for the Red- men were restricted to two fumble recoveries, one each by Mike Barton and center Pat Taylor. Another Ander- son score was narrowly averted when Steve Nesbit, playing his best game of the season by far, picked up a dropped punt by teammate David Bruce inside his own twenty yard line late in the game. Punter Ed Raffin also played his best game of the season. The junior Redmen finish the season with a win and a tie (both against the Ajax Rams) and four losses, three PORT PERRY Adults: $1.25 Port's de-- 0.H.A.

The lack of success must be attributed to the porous Port Perry defence which allowed a lofty 168 points against in six games. Another factor also was a lack of a passing game all season long by Quarterbacks Barton and Raffin. They never completed more than three passes in any game. One reason for this was a weak offensive line which afforded the two signal callers little or no protection. Coach Bruce Brandon later admitted that "we should have had a passing game." Brandon was not dismayed with the team's showing but was disappointed with the lack of player support. "I don't think kids want to practice," he said but added "I was pleased with the small corps of kids who came out." The three best players on the team were the captains, Quarterback Mike Barton, Running Back Ted Wilson and Outside Linebacker Steve Nesbitt, all of who drew lavish praise from. Brandon. On Steve Nesbit "he's had a steady season", on Ted Wilson 'he had a great year as a runner", on Mike Barton '"The big thing about Mike is enthusiasm. It's contagious, he can lift the team". In closing Bran- don added 'I'm glad we went this far without injuries." Co-captain Steve Nesbit was rather frustrated by the lack of player turnout for the team. He also felt there was a poor attitude by the student body towards the team who were unduly ridiculed in his opinion. Children: 50¢
