S.Panthers Drop Purple Bowl Debut
South Huron District High
School Panthers, crippled with
injuries, gave everything they
had on a snow-covered gridiron
a<t the Purple Bowl in London
Saturday but it wasn't enough to
stop a smooth, experienced foot
ball; machine from Sarnia St.
Fat’s.
The powerhouse city team won
their fourth WOAA Senior MB'*
title by a 21-0 count in the first
game of a triple-header in the
J, w. Little Memorial Stadium
beside U.W.O.
Only consolation the South
Huron team received from the
contest was the tributes of the
Champions who admitted the
Panthers had given them their
toughest battle this season.
•Considering that St. Pat's rang
up. a 40-0 exhibition victory over
Woodstock, who won the Senior
“A” title on ’Satui^ay, those tri
butes carried some weight.
South Huron went into the
icontest badly handicapped by in
juries to key players. Fullback
and kicker Ted Smith was out
with a sprained ankle; Captain
Bob MacLaren sat on the bench
with a shoulder separation; half
backs 'Bill Lavender and Terry
Wade had knee trouble and
(Centre Bob Cbaffe nursed a bad
ankle. Coach Glen Mickle had to
patch up his club as best he
could.
With the help of numerous
yardage penalties against Sarnia
foi* roughing, ’Panthers held the
Pats to a slim 1-0 margin in the
first half. Actually the locals
threatened a number of times
early in the game and might have
led with any success in kicking.
Without the x-egular hooters, the
Panthers lost many yards on
kicks.
South Huron’s line matched
the vicious tackling of the Sarnia
club and helped to keep the
score down. Gerald Rannie, Jim
Eth erington, Graham Farquhar
anl Ted bTormington led
charging.
Panthers faded before the
fury of the Sarnia attack in
third quarter and contributed
several fumbles to their cause.
■South Huron recovered two Sar
nia bobbles in the third but
couldn't get anywhere.
Panthers reached the Purple
Bowl for the first time this year
by eliminating Wingham and
Mitchell in sudden-death play
offs. .

Hi-Lights Reporter
The High School football sea
son is over for another year.
While 'the South Huron Panthers
didn’t bring home a championship
they do deserve special credit for
the effort they put into South
Huron’s first football team to
IWOSSA.

MAKE DEBUT IN PURPLE BOWE—South Huron Panthers
made their first appearance in a Purple Bowl tournament
Saturday on a snow-covered field at U.W.O. Handicapped by
injuries, the local gridders held a powerful Sarnia team to a
1-0 lead in the first half but couldn’t stop the attack in the
second portion and the city club scored a 21-0 victory. South
Huron’s hard-driving line, which received praise for its
aggressiveness, is seen here preparing to stop a Sarnia play
in the South Huron end. The Pats, right; have won the
Senior “B” title four times. —T-A Photo
