Port Clinton half back Bob ]
game of his four year career
downs on runs of II, 46, anc
Bob Ziebert was outstanding on
the defensive which proved to be
the weakest spot of the local elev-
en-.
The biggest improvement of this
weeks game was the downfield
blocking that is being stressed by
assistant Coach Bloom. Howard
Mackey's interference downfield
had a great deal to do with
Twarek's long runs.
The lead see-sawed back and
forth between the two teams
throughout the entire game. Port
Clinton scored first in the open
ing quarter on Twarek's II yard
jaunt. Wood kicked the extra
point. Tiffin came back with a
sustained drive to tie the score
at the end of the 1st quarter.
Early in the second quarter Port
Clinton'S Bob Ziebert blocked a
Titfln punt and then Ziebert re-
covered it on the Tiffin 20. Twarek
then passed to Wood ON the five.
Hofacker carried to the one and
Clyde Enderele carried over an
quarterback sneak. The try for
the extra point was not good and
the score was 13 to 7. Enderle
did an outstanding job calling
plays and handling the ball throu-
ghout the entire game.
Again Columbia put on a sus-
tanned drive and went ahead 14-13.
Columbia then recovered a P. C.
tumble but McAttee quickly inter
cepted pass to give the Redskins
possession of the ball again. Alan
Jensen, P. C. fullback came into
the game to pass to Bob Wood for
p. C.'s third score to put the Red
skins ahead at the half time 10
TO Ia. Alan Jensen played just for
2 plays Friday night because of
sore leg. Chuck Simon, promising
sophomore, filled his shoes cap
ably.
Port Clinton kicked off to Co.
lumbia to start the second half.
Jiffin again scored on sustained
drive but Port Clinton came back
quick with Twarek running as
yards to score with Howard Mack
ey running beautiful interference.
During the 4fh quarter Larry
Hofacker suffered a knee injury
that will probably keep him out
of the line up for two or three
weeks. His outstanding running
will be missed but Tom Martin or
Dick Hazard can fill his spot
well. The fourth quarter was
outstanding because of the partic-
ulary poor referring and as a re-
suit both Bob Wood and Charley
Westphal were removed from the
game unnecessarily and the game
ended with Port Clinton on top
80 to 81. Coach Lukac was carried
off the field on the shoulders of
his hard fighting( steadily improv-
ing Redskins.
Coach Lukac was entirely in the
right Friday night with his substi-
tutions. According to change in
the rules this year a coach may
substitute one player at a time as
long as it does not interfere with
the play The referees were not
aware of this rule. change, so it
seemed.
There were an estimated 200
local fans at the Tiffin game. 1t
is gratifying to see such whole
hearted support.
The Port Clinton Band under
the direction of David Stanton put
on a very clever half time show
at the Tiffin-P.C. game where they
warned the crowd that there was
only II days left till Christmas.
The band also should be commend
ed on the way they have stayed
together during the games and
cheered the team on. They add a
great deal to the spirit of the
game.
The local cheer leaders were
quite sad about being booed by the
Tiffin students when they lead the
Tiffin cheering section in the Gus
tomary exchange fashion. 'It was
in poor taste and showed poor
sportsmanship plus rudeness,' said
several spectators later.
