George- Marklay, another dependable "old-timer" at Moeller, heads the defense and line and joins Gigliotti in the "supper-coach" class of head man Faust. Bill Clark who is the team's trainer and administers the all-important weights program, is also back again and his contribution has also been heavy. When The News visited Mon· day morning, the Crusaders were winding up a spirilted drill but had their share of the early· :season bumps and bruises. They •want the Princeton game badly · and are working toward that end. And the spirit that has ,made Moeller a champion is :once more present. ! With Elder, Roger Bacon, LaSalle, Newport Catholic, Purcell, St. Xavier a.nd McNicholas aJ!l. · expected to make the OCL race a wild and wooly one, Moeller will more than likely have to come up with a better season than last year's 7-3 to make it three in a row.

to a puny 87 for the night. The , Crusader runners used 61 plays ,for 300 yards on the ground and Harris completed seven of 12 passes for another 100 yards. La· Salle had the ball on just 17 running plays all night for 46 yards. Passing, the Lancers made good just three of 11 for 41 more yards. First downs were 19·4, Moeller. Molina was top rusher. The Cuban back piled up 68 yards on 10 trips. Kneipp was right be· hind with 59 yards in 17 lugs and Bishop added 55 on seven excursions. Harris netted 44 yards, Farrell 32 and Specker 27. Schwertman caught four passes from Harris for 61 yards and a TD. Eys()ldt, Wilcoxson and Goodhart nailed the other aerials. The starting defense was so effective the Lancers didn't get a single first down and actually lost five yards from scrimmage in that first" half while Moeller was constructing the 20·0 lead. The Lancers still didn't gain in the final half until the starters retired to the sidelines. Stickout performances were turned in by Dan Humbert and Tim Doyle, a pair of linebackers supreme, and by tackle Tom Langefels. End Frank Brink· moeller and back Bill McQuade both had great performances on the "stop" unit. Offensively, huge holes were created by Dave Heinrich, Dan Novakov, Denny Holthaus and Tim Albers to enable the backs to ramble 300 yards. Kneipp, Har· ris and Schwertman all turned in classic offensive games. Moeller will face what could be its sternest challenge Satur· day night at Sycamore Stadium. The Newport Catholic Thorobreds, also unbeaten and also casting an eye on the GCL cham· plonship will hop over the river! for a showdown battle, during which the league's list of un· defeated elevens will be reduc· ed by one. Coach Bob Schneider's 'Breds finished strongly in the loop last season and their last-day victory over Elder at Elder helped Moe!. ler to claim their second straight championship. The Kentuckians want that title for themselves this season and will be tough to handle a£ter just squeaking by I McNicholas Saturday night.

6;500 Fans. .Yiew :Fierce Struggle •At Vi~ing Field ~~ders,

: Moeller's defend: ing champions of the Greater · Cincinnati League, and Prince; ton's Vikings, titilists of the Hamilton County Suburban League found themselves on the opposing sides of midfield Friday night as the 1967 prep grid season got underway and it was truly a championship ba1tle in every way. And even though the Vikings boosted their seating 1 capacity to a new high during the summer. there weren't enough seats to accommodate the 6,500 fans who packed Princeton Stadium to witness a 14-0 victory for Coach Gerry Faust's Crusaders. Both teams were keyed to their emotional peaks by the time Princeton's crack marching band rendered the national anthem, and the classic battle that fol· lowed was a thing of beauty. The offensive fireworks burst forth from both champions and yet, both defenses stiffened when the chips were down and it finally· wns a gigantic break that gave Moeller the opportunity to break the scoring ice. Otherwise, the battle might have wound up scoreless. i'ena\ts Costly The Crusaders got their big break with 5:12 left in the first half. Doug Eshelman's booming punt from his 29 had sailed 35 yards to Moeller's 36 where Bob Ha'Cker was dumped in his tracks by Harry Howard. But an official had detected a personal foul near midfield by Princeton. Since Moeller already had possession of the ball following the kick, the resultirtg 15 yard stepoff was fron. Ole point of the foul. So, instead of Moeller hav· ing the ball on its own 36, the Crusaders were pel·ched on Princeton's 19 and they struck quickly from there. Tricky Rick Bishop went over right guard and churned to the 11. lie went around right end to the 10 and then burst up the middle to the five. After Princeton's valiant de· fense stopped Rick one play, quarterback Bob Harris faked to Bishop, kept the ball and i rolled around right end to score fron1 the five without a nd being laid on him. The for point was blocked by I elman, but 1\'loeller held a .1 lead that they took into dressing room. ·: · I Both teams had an opportunity I in the third stanza. After returning the second half kickoff to the 32, Moeller struck quickly 1 1 when Harris flipped a look-in pass over the middle to Tom Goodheart and Tom sailed 46 Iyards to Princeton's 32. Jack Crable went around right end on a reverse to the 22. Bishop got five over right guard and Harris kept around left end for six and a first down on the Viking 11. An in-motion penalty and fine defensive work by Greg Harvey, Harry Howard and Dan Houchen sropped Moeller at the seven after Harris had hit Dan Molina with a seven yard pass that Molina made a great catch on.

l\foeller Hands Newport Cath. lst Loss, 26-0 Moeller High School remained undefeated as the Crusaders exploded for a 26-0 victory over previously unbeaten Newport Catholic saturday night at Moeller. The only score of the first half came in the opening q u a r t e r when the Crusaders' Bob Harris carried the ball over from the two. In the fourth period Moeller halfback Danny Molina bulled over from the six and Bob Goodhart's kick made the score 14-0. Newport made one final effort to score but Danny Molina, who also played defense, d r o p p e d the Thoroughbreds' Tim Kennedy for a loss to end their scoring threat. Newport's deepest penetration was in the second period when the Thoroughbreds drove to the crusaders' 14-yard line, but the drive stalled. With Molina and Bishop grinding out the yardage for Moeller, the Crusaders had little difficulty moving the ball. The win gives Moeller a perfect 5-0 season record while Newport Catholic is now 4-1. - TOM WOOD (Moeller).
