“It was a case of
inexperience versus
experience, and our boys
were outsized. The boys
worked hard; they didn’t
try to lose. For most of the
game we fielded nine
sophomores and two
seniors, the Hawkeyes had
11 seniors on the field most
of the time. That's the
- story,” said Mountaineer
Coach Jack Jones, talking
about the Mountaineers 19-
6 loss to Hanover last
Friday night.
Jones felt the tide of the
game turned when a pass
interference call against
D4s gave the Hawkeyes
the ball. A call which,
according to Jones, was
incorrect because it shows
no interference on the film.
The film also shows the
face mask call against
Dallas’ Joe Shurites was
incorrect. He said the film
plainly shows Shurites’
arm around his opponent’s
shoulder.
Steve Skammer,
quarterback, and backs
Joe Shurites and Vince
Sodrosky turned in an
outstanding performance
for the Mountaineers, the
coach said Robert Whalen,
split end, also did a good
job and Jim Thomas scored
the Mounts only touchdown
on a 16-yard pass from
Skammer, with 4:21
remaining in the game.

opening kickoff with
Skammer taking the ball to

make it third and 11 but a
five yard penalty against
the Hawkeyes made it third
and six for the
Mountaineers. A pass to
Greg Williams gave them a
first down.
Hanover took over on a
Dallas. fumble but the
Mountaineers defense held
and the ball went back to
Dallas on downs.
Most of the first half was
a defensive game with the
offense. The second half
was a different ball game
with the Hawkeyes moving
against the Dallas eleven.
The Hawkeyes recovered
a Dallas fumble in the third
quarter and with 3:04 on
the clock, quarterback
John Sepko threw a short
touchdown pass to Carl
Jones for the score. Leo
McGlynn kicked the extra
point and Hanover went in

Hi Jets opened the 1976
season with a convincing
18-0 win over the Dallas
Cowboys’ ~~ Sunday af-
ternoon.
Led by their tough
defense, the Jets held the
Cowboys without a first
down until late in the fourth
quarter. The good field
position given to the Jets
by their stingy defense
helped lead to the first two
scores.
The Jets took the opening
kickoff and marched to the
the punt at the Jets 30 yard
line and returned it to the
Cowboy 18 yard line. The
Jets took only two plays to
score their second TD.
Stefanick carried the ball
in from the 12 yard line
behind a good block by
Krupa and Allbritain.
The last Jet touchdown
came early in the third
quarter, when Jets
faded to pass, and finding
his receivers covered, ran
around right end for 58
yards.
