McCabe has averaged 45 yards per punt throughout the season, with a 65 yarder to his credit. His punts are usually long, high flying spirals, the kind college coaches dream about. There Is little question that if McCabe continues to boot the ball the way he does now that a college football future could be In store. McCabe'i attitude concern ing this losing season is a candid view that represent! the entire team. He doesn't tike it. Nobody does.

We had no size, no experi ence... but after we got start ed, we began to feel better about it." McCabe and the Cards realize their 1976 plight. It's following years they look for. The best game of the year, McCabe said, was the Cards loss to Mt. Vernon. -32. Why? Because lone scored points. "We're talking about what we're going to do," McCabe said of the players' feelings toward later years. "I'm look ing for 1979," the year hell be a senior. McCabe maintains that the Cards are improving every game, but realizes that no Scott Sherer r No. 88 So. 125 lbs. Lexington Chevron Vic Klingor Lexington 989-8540 matter how much they Im prove, they must face the fact that they are "small and inexperienced." But that will change. McCabe said he hasn't heard any bad talk and that is an encouragement. Hoping for the first win, he thinks Cascade Locks might . be the number. They are the "same as us," he said, and the first win would "sure help in the next games." For now, McCabe and the Cards will have to continue with their losing season. They are small and Inex perienced. But like Kevin McCabe said, that will change. So will that record. Wait and see.
