of about 2,000 are standing ready for the first game. The boys will be using the locker room facilities at Syracuse junior high school this year and will be transported to the field for the games. Looking Ahead The head coach says, “We have a lot to learn. We have taken a lot of time to teach how the game should be played and we are looking to the future”. By future, he was referring to 1970 when Wawasee becomes a full member of the Northern Lakes Conference. The school is now a full member in some sports, but not in football. Storey states that competition for starting positions is keen among the 44 candidates, and since none are proven performers, he preferred not to elaborate on prospective starters at this time. “Our emphasis is on underclassmen, but if an upper classman is a much better player, he will have a chance. However, if an upper and an underclaissman are nearly equal, the underclassman will get the nod”, he cautioned.

PAT. For the gold team, Ron Simpson received a 37 yard pass from Tony Mohler. The PAT was not good. For the green team in the second quarter, Pat Spearman ran 43 yards for a TD. Jeff Hughes ran the PAT. Fred Beer also scored -a TD on a hand-off from Tim Blue. Blue ran the PAT. Good defensive linework -was shown by George Xanders and Doug Allen.

Steve Bahn scored in the third quarter for the green team by running around left end. PAT was not completed.
