Football Fables
Brought To Light
by Ken Baker
Being a devil-may-care cross
country runner at heart, I be
lieve that it's about time the true
facts came out about the football
players and coaches. I've often
wondered what the football play
ers really think about in their
bone-breaking sport, so traveling
to the deep, dark confines of the
football dressing room after a
rough game, 1 heard the follow
ing through a crack in the door.
lit voice: That was the dumbest
play I've ever seen. I told you to
pass it, but no, you just had to
stand there and get creamed.
2nd voice: I couldn't help it. I
didn't have any place to go.
1st voice: You just stood there
and let the opposition smother
you.
3rd voice: You had a good
chance to run, but you played
brave boy and pretended you
didn't see it coming.
1st voice: You've really done
it now.
2nd voice: Come on guys, don't
be mad. How was I to know she
was going to ask me to the Sadie
Hawkins dance?
Or, as another example, per
haps you have heard the quarter
back call out numbers like "28,
32, 46 hike!" and all that jazz. It
was found in the Crater game
just what it actually means.
Coach X: I say it's 36.
Coach Y: No, no; it's got to be
34.
Coach Z: Both of you are
wrong. It's 38.
Quarterback: Uh, about this
next play, I . . .
Coach X: Quiet! Who does he
think he is?!!
Coach Y: Well, I can settle it.
Now just ask her. It's the blond
in the seventh row.
As the rumors and sagas of the
turf die down for another year, it
must be remembered that not all
of those who go out for the manly
sport of football are .playboys,
ladies men, and women killers.
Some of those guys actually like
the game!

Senior Week Topped
By Ashland Victory
Senior Week, for the first time
in several years, was capped off
by an Ashland victory as the
Bruins rolled over the Crater
Comets 18-0 in the last game of
the season.
Last year it was Crater who
beat the Grizzlies 18-0 and took
third place in the conference.
This year, however, the tables
turned, and it was Ashland in
third place.
The first quarter of the game
was a toss-up as both famed de
fenses held tight. In the second
quarter and from then on, the
Comets were no threat to the
Bears.
The Grizzly defense proved to
be tough as they held the Comets
to 36 net yards in the first half
and threw Crater back for a
minus 11 yards in the second half.
Twice in the last half, Grizzly de
fenders picked up Crater bobbles
land scored two-point safeties.
"It was a fine effort by every
one," commented coach John
Gray, "but I would have liked to
have had two or three more
touchdowns."
First Score
The Bruins scored first with 31
seconds remaining in the second
quarter. Tex Willis took a Dave
Barger handoff and attempted to
run the last five yards around the
end. When he saw he wouldn't
make it past the scrimmage line,
he tossed the ball to Mike Torre-
san for the score. Tim Voth
kicked the extra point. The play
was the highlight of a 62-yard
drive topped by 15 and 37 yard
passes to Wayne Calvary.
As the third quarter began,
the Bruin defenders threw the
Comets for 13 yards in losses
close to Crater's goal. A quick
kick attempt proved fatal as a
Bruin blocked it, and Ashland
ended up with a safety.
With time running out in the
third period, a fumble put the
pigskin on Crater's 15-yard line.

Ashland had another excellent
chance to score in the fourth
chapter, but last the ball to Crater
defenders on their 15 yard stripe.
Two plays later Randy Nelson
and Rick Clark drove the Comet
signal caller into the endzone for
another safety.
The Bears ran into trouble as
the Comets ran for a long TD
ith only 29 seconds showing on
the clock. The visitors were called
back because of a clipping pen
alty, however, and the score stood
at 18-0 when the final whistle
blew.
End for Seniors
The team pledged to win for
the seniors, and the results
couldn't have been better. Nine
teen seniors will leave AHS with
pleasant memories of their high
school gridiron days. Heading the
list of departing seniors are the

and Jim Conklin. Also roundin

ler, Wayne Calvary, Dennis So -
reason, John Buck, Terry Man

Price, Tom Reid, Bill Hardy, Don
Mann, and Bill Wiley.
The Grizzlies ended the season

rated 13th in the stale. This was
the best year for Ashland in a
number of years.

made two touchdowns and the
Jefense held Medford to only
two touchdowns until a pass in-
erception in the last quarter set
up the winning score.
Upset-minded and confident,
the Bruins proved themselves
right away as they managed to
kill all drives, except a nullified
long run, that the Whirlwinds
tried. Big, 220-pound Bill Enyard,
who normally averages over 100
yards a game, was held to 46 passing ana nad two intercepted

After a Medford fumble early
in the second quarter, Dave Bar

Wayne Calvary for six points and
brought the capacity home crowd
of 2,400 fans to their feet.
The Tornado struck back with
only 52 seconds remaining in the
first half. After an Ashland
fumble, Medford had the ball first
down on the Grizzly four yard
line. The Bears looked as if they
were going to make another bril
liant goal line stand as they held
Medford for three plays. But on
fourth down and one, Jim Cox
went around end for the score.
The conversion was good, and
Medford led 7-6.
The Tornado scored again in
the third quarter as they went
69 yards in 9 plays. Cox again
went around end for the last
yard, and the score stood at 14-6.
Ashland fought back after the

another score. A pair of tosses to
Bill Jury from Barger knotted 50
yards, and Tim Voth took a six
