‘" The Dallas/Meyers game might
well be defined as “Too Many and
Too Big vs. “Not Enough and Too
‘Small’ because that’s what it was
in the contest won by Meyers, 27-7,
at Dallas last Saturday, spoiling
Homecoming crowd.
. The Mohawks’ starting lineup
averaged from 178 to 230, most of
them in or near the 190’s; the
Mountaineers’ starting lineup from
140 to 205 (just one) and most of
them in the 155 to 165 range.
But Saturday, it was one of those
games where it didn’t seem to
matter to the Mountaineers. Despite
their size, they played a better
game than fans have seen them
play all year.
One former Dallas coach was
heard to remark after the game
that the coach doesn’t have to be
disappointed in those kids; they’re
coached better and played their
hearts out more than any team I
have seen in Dallas for years and
years. That’s a big statement - one
to make the kids and their coaches
proud. A statement to remind par-
on that field are ‘“‘only kids”.
Meyers came in to the game with

Skaff with a 15 yard pass, then
connected with Mike Schwab to give
his team the ball on the Mountai-
neer 41-yard line. Tony Caffrey car-
ried it to the 33-yard line and, from
there, Gregg Lott took Maffei’s pass
going away and went in for a
touchdown with 10:16 ‘on the clock.
Daryl Boich kicked the extra point
and Meyers went in front, 7-0.
On the Mountaineers’ possession,
they were unable to move the ball
-and punted to the 50-yard line. Four
plays later, the Mohawks were still
in the same spot, due to a facemask
penalty, their third 15-yard setback
of the quarter. On the fourth down,
Maffei hit Caffrey with a screen and

the extra point for a 7-0 lead.
In the second quarter, Cadwa-
lader passed to Van Gorder who
took off for 44 yards before the
Rangers took him down at the 16-
yard line. The Knights took the ball
to the 10-yard line in their next two
plays from where Bill George car-
ried it over for a second touchdown.
The extra point was good and the
Knights were in front, 14-0.
On their possession, the Rangers
were held by a strong Knight
defense and had to punt from their
own 34-yard line. Cadwalader went
to the air and connected with Bill
Bearde for 24 yards and Van Gorder
took over on the next play taking
the ball in from the 10-yard line for
a score. The kick for extra point
failed but the Knights closed out the
half, 20-0.
Lake-Lehman went scoreless in
the third quarter, but with Boyle
recovering a fumble at the Knights
40-yard line it set up the Knights
longest drive of the game. Lake-
Lehman used a running attack with
the exception of one 16-yard hit and,
after 11 plays, Van Gorder plunged
over from the 1-yard line for the
final Lake-Lehman score. The kick
for the extra point failed but the
Knights were in front, 26-0.

Before the half ended, there were

two teams and a touchdown run by
