SDOGL 6llU Oh IIG score. lHo
Mansfield as Bob Twarek saw
only one quarter of action due to
an injury early in the second quar-
ter and pass interceptions plagued
Port Clintons atrial attack, Port
Clinton's defensive combination
showed great improvement as was
shown in three goal line stands.
Two new men in the defensive
lineup locked especially good.
They were senior Max Burkins
and Sophomore Dave Griffith.
saw lot of action Saturday as de-
fensive end and he played con-
sistently smart ball. Mike Elias
turned in a good game at line
backer as usual. Enderle and Jen-
sen we're the mainstays of the of
fensive unit with Tom Martin do
ing d good job trying to fill Bob
Twareks Shoes, but the luck wasn't
with old P. c. Saturday night The
fine crowd of Port Clinton fans
that made the trip to Mansfield
saw a good game of hard played
bail however and a well coached
team that they could be proud of.
Port Clinton kicked off to Madi-
son to begin the first quarter and
the trend of luck began to show
itself as Mansfields' Windsor broke
through tackle and travelled so
yards to score on the second play
of the game. But only the fans
we're low in spirits. The Redskins
snapped back only to tumble on
their second down but the defen-
sive squad held Madison to the
Port Clinton twenty yard line
where the tide began to change.
Jensen completed a pass to Wood
on the Madison 80 then TWarek
and Hazard drove to the yard
line where Enderle went over for
the score on a quarterback sneak.
Following an unsuccessful extra
point try, Mansfield put on a sus-
tanned drive that was finally brOk-
en- uD by Dave Griffith en- a pass
interception. Alan Jensen then
drove to the tlirty-five only to
have his pass intercepted and as
the half ended Port Clinton's de-
fensiva squad Eeld out within their
own ten yard line for four downs
TO end the half s to 7.
As the second half started again
the defensive unit set up the
second Redskin score by holding
Madison in their own territory
forcing them to punt TO mid-field
where Hazard, Enderle, Martin,
and Jensen alternated their attack
TO bring the ball to Mansfield's
enc yard line where Clyde En-
derle again went over for the
score, Bob Carter's toe failed him
as that second try at the extra
point was fatally feeble.
Following the kickoff Mansfield
capitalized on numerous breaks to
finally score their second touch
down. Port Clinton was still in
the game however with less than
three minutes TO play. The local
squad plunged deep into the op-
ponents territory only to have a
pass intercepted on the 30 with
minute left in the ball game so
time ran out with Port Clinton on
the small end of a 13 to IL score.
1t is really gratifying to see the
number of s0phomores coming up
in the local football ranks. There
is Chuck Simon at fullback, Dave
Griffith at end, Bruce Carter at
quarter as we'll as Don Ice and
lineman John Valance, Allen An
derson, ice Morgan, and jim
Black who has already seen a lot
of action. Combine these boys with
the Juniors such as Mike Elias,
Tom Martin, Larry Hofacker, Dick
Cernek, Chuck Westphal, John
Bergman and Ed Noser you've got
a real team in the future also.
