Can Shaw do it again .

Last year, the Cardinals pulled
an amazing upset when they de-
feated Parma and ended the
Westsider's winning streak that
extended over a two-year period.
Tomorrow, the East Cleve-
landers travel to the Redmen lair
in hopes of keeping their Lake
Erie League title hopes alive,
This would take some doing as
Parma has downed all LEI op-
ponents thus far and Shaw suf-
fered seriously with the loss for
the remaining season Of Bob
Rainey and Marty Matus.
Both suffered knee injuries in
the close contest last week
against Cleveland Heights.
Parma, after three early sea-
son losses to tough teams, has
come to life and now has an
overall season record of A and 8
and a 80 LEI mark.
The Redmen are led by a
scrappy little quarterback, Russ
Jacques. 5 feet nine inches and
los pounds. He throws left
handed and is extremely versa
tile and slippery. He has thrown
severa.. touchdown passes already
this year Another good Parma
back is George Sidor, SIT. 9 in.
at 1877 pounds. Also, Parma has
shown it has a line as tough and
as rough as they come.
Two LEI Wins In a Row

son record to four wins and two

Shaw Scores First
The Cardinals opened the scor-
ing early in the second quarter,
as junior quarterback, Bruce
Matte scampered around his
right end for SO yards. But
Mates attempt to run in the
extra points was unsuccessful.
The teams battled back and forth
until late in the second quarter,
when Heights on two fine pass
ing efforts pushed across for
their only score on an IL yard
pass play.
The final Cardinal tally was set
up in the fourth quarter as guard
John Mingione partially blocked
"a Heights punt, and halfback
Bob Taskes returned it to the
Heights 80 yard line. Fullback
Ken Golash took over and five
plays later scored on a three yard
plunge, to give Shaw the hard
earned victory.

hard play of these teams, the
