Roger Whitley with 153 yards
on 61 rushes for the top average

John Kozma threw 42 times, com
pleted 15 for 179 yards and one

160.3 yards per game. Their op
ponents averaged 127.8 yards per
game rushing and 109.3 passing
for a total offense average of

and a 2-point conversion by Few,
one touchdown by Sprouse and
a 2-point conversion by Mackie

Despite their record head coach
Don Henderson had praise for
his players following the George
town game.
“I know it might not look like
it on the basis of the record,”
he explained, “but I feel these
boys played better ball than tb
’64 team. They hit hard
they didn’t quit. Our schedul
was probably the toughest ^
have ever played. I’m proud 0
these boys.”
Injuries undoubtedly hurt tb
Lion cause. The team’s play W*
definitely handicapped when
Leod was hurt on the first pu"
of the first game and missed tb
remainder of that contest ab
the next two.
