The Purple squad had plenty of support at the Fulton with a few hundred Cortland fans jour- neying to the battle scene for the big contest which was view- ed by more than 2,000 persons And they were rewarded by the spectacular play of the Tigers, led by Co-Capt Sweeney who enjoyed his best day yet The junior fullback carried the bail 26 times and gained an even 200 yards for an average of al- most eight yards a shot, the best of which was a 39-yarder And let's not forget those defen- sive performers who turned ia another fine job. holding the op- position to a total of 72 net yards — 29 rushing and 43 pass- ing, while the Cortland offense Red Mules Win Last Game 2-1 Over Engineers Scoring two goals in the open- ing period and making them stand up to the end. the Cort land College varsity booters won their final game of the sea- son by upending the favored RPI Engineers. 2 1. here Satur- day afternocn.

Mary's High pigskinners will savor their latest endeavor the snatching of the Inter- scholastic Athletic Conference with their seventh win of the year — for a long time to come. The Crusaders recorded a 13- 0 victory over Tioga Central at Randall Field Saturday night before a moist partisan home- coming turnout, well aware they were IAC champs regard- less of the outcome. The third straight title clinch- ing came Saturday afternoon by virtue of Lansing's 6-6 draw at Groton "Pride played a big part in winning it ourselves, that and becoming the first St. Mary's football team to win seven games ia one season in the school's history." reveled coach Bob SteVens, who credited suc- cess this year to tremendous desire. Stevens was especially pjoud of his defense. "That was one area where we really thought we'd get hurt, but the under- classmen came on so strong so early that they gave us the big lift," he said. S t Mary's ffrTi.shed its" league . slate 7-0 with a defensive 11 that wasn't scored on in its last five games. The gendarme allowed just 18 points in IAC play while the offense reeled off 132. Overall the Saints concluded a 7-1 campaign. The locals swarmed the visit- ing Tigers' goal all night in their final effort and farewell grid hid'far ic seniors. Tiega's- defense turned in a gung-ho game beating off repeated St Mary's scoring moves. It took two scarsely seen plays from the Saints' play bag in the last 2¥c minutes of the first naif trr defy- the" Tlogans, who called it quits on the sea- son at 3-3-1 after tagged at the year's start as "the team to beat" Flea-Flicker After 10 minutes of the second quarter and three earlier blunted advances to the Tigers' 20, 8, and 18 yard lines, St. Mary's pushed over their first touchdown on a blind side screen pass to halfback Joe Cook. The play, covering 33 yards, saw quarterback Mike Finney roll to the right before pitching to Cook, who got shattering blocks to the Tioga goal from pulling linemen Phil Adessa and Tony Bartolone. It was eerie that Finney, Cook, Adessa. and Bartolone combined in the meat of the play since the senior quartet has been starting together since sophomore days and are large- ly responsible for the Crusaders' three year record of 19-4-1. Cook and Finney were elected the Saints' seasonal co-captains by their peers last week. St. Mary's second scoring product was of the spectacular sort with one minute left in the opening fialf. The TD call start- ed with a double reverse and ended with a pitch back to Mike Finney who tossed a 29-yard end zone strike to the catching side of the Finney family, Pat. Ades- sa converted. "We just put the play in last week," Stevens said after the flea-flicker went the distance. But from the craftsman like execution it appeared the play had been on the Saints' books all season. j BOWLING > RECREATION ALLEY Recreation Mixed League Ackerman's Gulf 29Vi Archway Cookies 26 Neal's Paint & Papering 25Vi Humdingers 25 Charlie's Body Shop 24 Team No. 3 23 Empire Construction 22 Gutter Balls 21 McGraw Box 46 Recreation Alleys 17 Copy Cats 1* Virgil's IGA 13 Bcb's Ess© 13 OI Racing 6 Archway Cookies (4) — M.

(Coansned on page 13) Perky Passing Mike Finney's passing was on target most of the nieht as the St Mary's eneineer hit eight of 16 for 139 yards. At least five other throws were mishandled by receivers. His two TD passes brought his total to 10 for the season, four to brother Pat Finney's first overhead shot in the Saints' initial drive after the opening kickoff, was a 39 yard bullseye to back Tom Harring- ton to Tioga's 21. A fumble two plays later spoiled it. St Mary's launched its first paydort drive from midfield after taking a Bruce Stauder {Mint Finney completed a 17 yard pass to flanker Pat 0*Mara to the 33. Two more flips missed before Finney and Cook did their scoring thing on third-and- ten The first play after the ensu- ing kickoff saw Adessa strangle pass-minded Gary Rockwell, with the Cortland crew controll- ing a fumble at &e via>itorV 28. Two passes fell incomplete be- fore the razzle-dazzle. Finney handed to Cook who followed suit to O'Mara in the standard twin-reverse, but the latter runner pitched back to Finney who unloaded a perfect heave to Pat Finney ia tally land. St. Mary's had opportunities in the second half, but didn't capitalize as in the first two quarters when it collected 10 first downs and 131 yards pass- ing. Pesky Defense Tioga found Crusader territory hard to- come by, making it across midfield twice — to the 45 prior to halftiine and to the 42 a play into The fourth quar ter. The clock stopped the first and a Mike Finney interception, the latter. * The Cortland line came up with several fourth down holds led by interiors Bartolone. Mike (TLeary. IKckT O'Shea, Jim Bul- ger. and Adessa. Room was rug- ged outside, too, what with Mike and Pat Finney, Cook, and Jere Hartnett filling the voids. While St Mary's forwards gave Finney plenty of passing protection, they swarmed over the Tioga aerial game and checked it to a meager 13 yards on two of seven completions. The Tigers ground out 73 stripes. One of the losers' chief weapons was the punting shoe of Stauder. a six-two, 185-pound frosh with obvious promise.

It was the seventh straight 1968 win without toss. The Tigers missed two chances to score in the first quarter and Fulton's Red Raid- ers dominated the second period for a 7-0 lead. Three big penalties and Fultons' goal area- defense thwarted the Purple in a dismal first half. But they broke loose with a vengeance in the second half and outscored the home team, 25-0, to win going away. The Raiders were unable to put things together in the final two quarters as the Tiger defense held them to a minus seven yards on the ground and a plus four in the air on one comple- tion. Cortland's Scott Robinson kicked off to start the last half and Tom Dovi recovered a Ful- ton fumble on the Raiders' 43- yard line. Co-Capt Doug Sweeney, who was the work- horse back this time, got loose for 24 yards to the Fulton Id. He carried twice mere to the 19 but a penalty put the Tigers back on the 16.

Healey then sneaked off to the one and two plays later he went over for the go-ahead -TBr-This time-Harpers Har just made it over the bar for a 13-7 CHS lead. Early in the fourth quarter Fulton had a threat going when Larry Runeare passed to Mark Kimball for some 25 yards after escaping a big CHS rush. However, a clipping penalty nullified this and set the home team back to its own 13. Then Don Kline took the next punt back to the Fulton 35 and Sweeney and Healey combined for a first down on the 17, then another on the five. Tom Brady tost one yard before McLyman swept his right end for the third Cortland six-pointer. The point try was messed by a bad center pass, leaving the score 19-7. Following the next kickoff, Kline picked off an errant Jim Pollard pass and raced it back to the Fulton 37 with three minutes left to play. Sweeney rushed to the 24 and Ron Starmer went to the 17 before Kline fumbled on the 16 as Ful- ton took over. However, on the very next play Runeare's pass was snared by Cortland's Billy Banks who brought it back to the Fulton 14. Healey then passed to Kline in the end zone on what was probably the best executed play of the game. The conversion try was no good again and the score wound up, 25-7. After Robinson kicked off again, the Fulton backs were driven backward for 34 yards on three plays as the game ended on the Fulton one-yard line. In the first quarter, the Tigers took the opening kickoff on their own 34 and marched to the Fulton 13 where the Raid- ers took over on downs. The Purple tried again after taking Howard Pollock's punt on tbeir own 42. Sweeney raced to the EOFFALO BISONS TO AND INCREASE LEAD By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Buffalo Bisons have the fastest guns in the West—the American Hockey League's West that is—and they proved it Sunday night Norm Beaudin, Pat Hannigan and Wayne Rivers scored within 45 seconds early in the second period to trigger the Bisons to a come-from-behind 7-4 victory over Hershey, which leads the Eastern Division. That gave Buffalo a seven- point lead in the Western Divi- sion over Cleveland, which broke a second-place tie with Rochester by whipping the Americans 6-2. Buffalo trafled Hershey « until the second-period uprising. Dancis HextaU, Dennis Kassian, Billy Knibbs and Guy Trottier also tallied for the Bisons. Cleveland pelted Rochester with three first-period goals and rolled to an easy triumph. Mar- shall Johnston scored two goals for the Barons and Ernie Wak*. •y kicked out 42 shots.

FURPLE KITTENS DFFFAT FULTON JVS, SIXTH WIN

The Cortland High JVs won their sixth victory in seven starts Saturday morning by downing Fulton's JV squad. 35-6, on the Fulton fieid.

Pete Corser scored three touchdowns for the Purple Kit­tens on runs of 35, 20 and three yards, while Wayne Mus-son scored a pair on dashes of 25 and five yards.

Rhys Adams made the other five points — two on conversion kicks and three on a 15-yard field goal.

Fulton scored its lone touch­down on a reverse Cortland's Paul Hannon picked off one Fulton pass that might have re­sulted in another TD.

This coming Saturday morn­ing Coach Bob LaCour takes his CHS juniors to Roosevelt Fieid in Syracuse to play Cor-coran's strong JV team in then-finale of the season. Corcoran lost its first JV game Saturday when Henninger won, 27-6. Hen­ninger is the only team to beat the local JVS.

By JERE DEXTER

Monotonous? Maybe so, but Si. Mary's High pigskinners will savor their latest endeavor — the snatching of the Inter-scholastic Athletic Conference with their seventh win of the year — for a long time to come.

The Crusaders recorded a 13-0 victory over Tioga Central at Randall Field Saturday night before a moist partisan home­coming turnout, well aware they were IAC champs regard­less of the outcome.

The third straight title clinch­ing came Saturday afternoon by virtue of Lansing's 6-6 draw at Groton

"Pride played a big part in winning it ourselves, that and becoming the first St. Mary's football team to win seven games ia one season in the school's history." reveled coach Bob SteVens, who credited suc­cess this year to tremendous desire.

Stevens was especially pjoud of his defense. "That was one area where we really thought we'd get hurt, but the under­classmen came on so strong so early that they gave us the big lift," he said.

S t Mary's ffrTi.shed its" league . slate 7-0 with a defensive 11

that wasn't scored on in its last five games. The gendarme allowed just 18 points in IAC play while the offense reeled off 132.

Overall the Saints concluded a 7-1 campaign.

The locals swarmed the visit­ing Tigers' goal all night in their final effort and farewell grid hid'far i c seniors. Tiega's-defense turned in a gung-ho game beating off repeated St Mary's scoring moves.

It took two scarsely seen plays from the Saints' play bag in the last 2¥c minutes of the first naif trr defy- the" Tlogans, who called it quits on the sea­son at 3-3-1 after tagged at the year's start as "the team to beat"

Flea-Flicker After 10 minutes of the

second quarter and three earlier blunted advances to the Tigers' 20, 8, and 18 yard lines, St. Mary's pushed over their first touchdown on a blind side screen pass to halfback Joe Cook.

The play, covering 33 yards, saw quarterback Mike Finney roll to the right before pitching to Cook, who got shattering blocks to the Tioga goal from pulling linemen Phil Adessa and Tony Bartolone.

It was eerie that Finney, Cook, Adessa. and Bartolone combined in the meat of the play since the senior quartet has been starting together since sophomore days and are large­ly responsible for t h e Crusaders' three year record of 19-4-1.

Cook and Finney were elected the Saints' seasonal co-captains by their peers last week.

St. Mary's second scoring product was of the spectacular sort with one minute left in the opening fialf. The TD call start­ed with a double reverse and ended with a pitch back to Mike Finney who tossed a 29-yard end zone strike to the catching side of the Finney family, Pat. Ades­sa converted.

"We just put the play in last week," Stevens said after the flea-flicker went the distance. But from the craftsman like execution it appeared the play had been on the Saints' books all season.

Perky Passing Mike Finney's passing was on

Finney's first overhead shot in the Saints' initial drive after the opening kickoff, was a 39 yard bullseye to back Tom Harring­ton to Tioga's 21. A fumble two plays later spoiled it.

The first play after the ensu­ing kickoff saw Adessa strangle pass-minded Gary Rockwell, with the Cortland crew controll­ing a fumble at &e via>itorV 28. Two passes fell incomplete be­fore the razzle-dazzle.

Finney handed to Cook who followed suit to O'Mara in the standard twin-reverse, but the latter runner pitched back to Finney who unloaded a perfect heave to Pat Finney ia tally land.

St. Mary's had opportunities in the second half, but didn't capitalize as in the first two quarters when it collected 10 first downs and 131 yards pass­ing.

Pesky Defense Tioga found Crusader territory

hard to- come by, making it across midfield twice — to the 45 prior to halftiine and to the 42 a play into The fourth quar ter. The clock stopped the first and a Mike Finney interception, the latter. *

The Cortland line came up with several fourth down holds led by interiors Bartolone. Mike (TLeary. IKckT O'Shea, Jim Bul-ger. and Adessa. Room was rug­ged outside, too, what with Mike and Pat Finney, Cook, and Jere Hartnett filling the voids.

While S t Mary's forwards gave Finney plenty of passing protection, they swarmed over the Tioga aerial game and checked it to a meager 13 yards on two of seven completions. The Tigers ground out 73 stripes.

One of the losers' chief weapons was the punting shoe of Stauder. a six-two, 185-pound frosh with obvious promise. The punter continually booted his club from danger, with booming kicks each time.

Scoring all their points in file second half and coming from behind a 7-0 deficit Cortland High's Purple gridders all but clinched their second straight outright CNY Cities League crown Saturday by downing Fulton's Bodley High eleven, 25-6, on the loser's home field. It was the seventh straight 1968 win without toss.

The Tigers missed two chances to score in the first quarter and Fulton's Red Raid­ers dominated the second period for a 7-0 lead. Three big penalties and Fultons' goal area-defense thwarted the Purple in a dismal first half.

But they broke loose with a vengeance in the second half and outscored the home team, 25-0, to win going away. The Raiders were unable to p u t things together in the final two quarters as the Tiger defense held them to a minus seven yards on the ground and a plus four in the air on one comple­tion.

Cortland's Scott Robinson kicked off to start the last half and Tom Dovi recovered a Ful­ton fumble on the Raiders' 43-yard line. Co-Capt Doug Sweeney, who was the work­horse back this time, got loose for 24 yards to the Fulton Id. He carried twice mere to the 19 but a penalty put the Tigers back on the 16. Here Sweeney crossed up the Fulton defenders who bad been used to him go­ing to his l ight He swept to nts left this time intothe end zone for the first CHS touchdown. Scott Harper's conversion try was blocked leaving Fulton

After the next kickoff Ful­ton's center made a poor pass back and the bat! went to the Tigers on the Raiders' 33. Joe Healey, Ted McLyman a n d Sweeney made a first down on the 18. Healey then sneaked off to the one and two plays later he went over for the go-ahead -TBr-This time-Harpers H a r just made it over the bar for a 13-7 CHS lead.

Following the next kickoff, Kline picked off an errant Jim Pollard pass and raced it back to the Fulton 37 with three minutes left to play. Sweeney rushed to the 24 and Ron Starmer went to the 17 before Kline fumbled on the 16 as Ful­ton took over.

However, on the very next play Runeare's pass was snared by Cortland's Billy Banks who brought it back to the Fulton 14. Healey then passed to Kline in the end zone on what was probably the best executed play of the game. The conversion try was no good again and the score wound up, 25-7.

After Robinson kicked off again, the Fulton backs were driven backward for 34 yards on three plays as the game ended on the Fulton one-yard line.
