The CCC gridders began their scoring
by maneuvering the ball 96 yards from
their own four-yard line to a touchdown
in the first quarter of play. Fullback Joe
Davis made a one-yard leap over the mass
collision of players from both teams on the
goal line. Gordon Vavrek, formerly of Cen
tennial High School completed the Cougar
scoring by kicking the extra point, putting
the team ahead 7-0.
The combination of quarterback Craig
Johnston's bullet passes and right halfback
Norm DeArmond's receiving abilities accoun
ted for the Couaar's second touchdown.
This was accomplished within the first two
minutes of the second half with the Coug
ar's recovery of a Wenatchee fumble on the
Knight's 34-yard line.
The recovery was followed by two con
secutive runs made by no. 21, Lucky Richard
son, Renton, Wash.
Johnston then hit DeArmond on a nine-
yard pass for the touchdown. Vavrek finish
ed the Cougars' scoring by kicking the ex
tra point.
The team's overall statistics for the day
were 255 yards, net gain. 188 yards rushing
and 67 yards in the air.

Soccer team wins
one, loses one
The Clackamas Community College soccer
team split two games last week as they
beat Warner Pacific on Tuesday, 2-1, and
lost to Lewis & Clark, in the final seconds
on Saturday.
CCC gave a fine defensive show against
Warner Pacific, limiting the visitor's serious
scoring opportunities to just two penalty
kicks. (A penalty kick is taken 15 yards
directly in front of the goal with only the
goalkeeper allowed to defend.) Of these two
kicks, the goalkeeper allowed only the se
cond to score.
Clackamas scored first on a 25 yard
penalty kick that literally floated into the
right-hand corner of. the net, leaving the
score at the half 1 -0 in favor of CCC. After
Warner Pacific's scoring penalty kick, Clack
amas came back with another floater to go
ahead 2-1 and take the win.
Saturday's game against Lewis & Clark
was strictly a defensive battle as the two
teams played an almost scoreless first half
except for a breakaway goal by both teams
just before the end of the half. The second
half turned out to be a battle over control
of the middle of the field. Just as the game
seemed destined to be a tie, Lewis & Clark
scored on a corner kick giving them the
game 2-1. CCC's record on the season is
now 2-2.
