BY PAUL RITTER

Of The Enquirer Staff Undefeated Elder assured itself of at least a stare in the conference crown, while St. xavier's hopes for the same title crumbled as a result of sunday afternoori's Greater Cincinnati L e ague football Doubleheader at Xavier University stadium.

Elder, with offense tickIng in time-bomb fashion, rapped underdog McNicholas, 40·6, in the opener.

Then Moeller kayoed St. X, 19-16, in the finale.

Elder's v(ctory sets the Panthers atop the GCL with a 5-0 record, two wins and a loss' in front of current runnerup, Rog!:'r B a c o n.

Moeller climb"d into third place (3-2) by defeating st.

Xavier, and knocked the Bombers to fourth (2-2).

They'll Be On Offense For Moeller Behind center Ro5er Hanlon, five Moeller High School offensive backs hope to pick up big yardage sunday when the crusaders play strong St. Xavier in the ~d game of the Greater Cincinaati

League football doubleheader at Xavier Stadium. The five are halfback Dan Merkle, fullback Dave Kneipp, quarterback Jerry Buckmas"er, fullbaek Dave ' Wilcoxson and halfbac¡te AI Stickler.

AFTER MOELLER defeated St~.:X;vier in the windup double-header Sunday, Coach the Crusaders had put in some new -offensive stuff for the game. 1'16ÂĽ ''One of the new plays was a quarterback-eligible pas:s," the Moeller mentor reported. "George Markley and I saw Indian Hill beat Sycamore Friday night and were impressed by the way Indian Hill ran this play. We diagrammed it and .then checked it with Coach Joe Clark after the game. We had a practice session of our own Saturday and we put the play into our offense t11en. We ran it about a dozen times in dummy scrimn1age and the11 used it twice against SL Xavier. lt worked o1ice and while we didn't score with it, we got inside their 10 and it helped put them in a hole."

Moeller's first TD came on a 58-yard drive, climaxed by Buckmaster's 16-yard pass to Dave Kneipp in the opening quarter. The second was a 60-yard march of nine plays that ended with Al Stickler going 28 yards on a fake kick situation and Moeller had a 13-0 half-time lead.

In the third quarter a 59yard drive took 10 plays to send Kneipp over the left side for the last three yards and make it 19-0.

1'1~4LATER IN the quarter, St. Xavier's Jim Knecht recov. ered a bad pass from center on the Moeller four and big Phil Cox took it in from the one. Mark Arnzen then ran the two extra points.

Crusaders Score Warming· up for the rugged campaign ·ahead, the Moeller Crusaders scored freely in the first three periods to down I Deer Park by a 34-0 margin Friday night on the Wildcats' field ..

Two first period touchdowns set the pattern for the night.

Moeller's defense looked good, limiting Deer Park to three or four first downs. Breakaway running got the job done for the Crusaders, who frequently got loose from inefficient Wildcat t(!ckling.

First score came on the fourth play from scrimmage, after olJ~Y 1:40 of action. H!!1fback A,l Stickler sprinted nine yards to paydirt. Tom Wakim place· kicked the first of four extra points.

The Crusaders set up another score by intercepting a Jim Prather pass. Jerry Buckmast· er, who completed only one of seven aerials, connected with end Don Schmid on a 12-yard TD play. First quarter ended with Moeller leading by 14·0.

A 22-yard run by Stickler netted a second period TD, boost· ing the halftime courit to 21-0.

Third quarter touchdowns were registered by halfback Jack Monahan on a 51-yard run· and fullback Dave Wilcoxson on a. two-yard plunge, ,,~;"'"'~ Two long ·.t'D's were called back, one a 65-yard punt return

Roth stayed with Moeller in · that period, however, scoring on·Garland Wilson's 75-yard· return of the ensuing kickoff . and the third stanza ·ended, 13-12, with MoeliE:r in front.

Faust Appointed Athletic Dhector\ At Moeller, Other Teachers Named

1~100

Enrolled At Moeller For New School Year KENWOOD Moeller High Sch!)ol opened this week with .an enrollment of I, I 00. This i:; an increa~e of 975 -tud.::nts since it tirst opened in 1960. Th.: original plans for the :;cbool called for it to hold no more than 750 students, but they were later ch;mged so that it could hold its present capacity.

To meet the increased enrollment, the faculty has been increased to 42 members, !8 of whom are new.

All classrooms are now in continuous use.

Three new groups have been organized to provide for the outside interests of the student body. The new orgaqizations and their moderators a r e: The Classics Club, Charles R. Bl.anford; the Literary Magazine. Mr. John Massarella; and the History Club, Mr. Norbert F. Ausdenmoore. The~ are in addition to the other 20 a::tivities which provide for the physical. emotional, spiritual, and scholastic welfare of the student body.

Head football coach Gerry Faust and his staff, are looking toward a very successful and exciting year on the field with the team. Last year the football team lost only one game in losing to Roger Bacon in a 36 to 6 decision. Roger Bacon was ranked 5th in the state and 1st in the city.

Tihs year in the first three scrimages the Crusaders have beaten eveiY team which they have come up against. They hope to win the G.C.L. this year. The team's first challenge will be Deer Park on September II. at Deer P.ark High School stadium.

G. A. Faust has been appointed · athletic director of Moeller high school and replaces Brother Jetseph Choquette S.M. who was assigned to the country of Lebano~.

Faust is a graduate of the Uroversity of Dayton, and has been head football coach at M?t'll~r since 1960. He will remam m this position, wh~le ass~ming h.s new duties. He IS considered to be one of the outstanding coa~h­ es of this area. Since the opwmg of the school in 1960, h<. and h.s staff have brought the Crusaders to victory over teams which had more experience, and were considered to be much better.

New faculty members wt.o have been appointe<l for the coning school year are: Norbert F. Mr. Faust Ausdenmoore who is a graduate of Xavier uni~ersity, a former h- bons who will be assistant athstructor at St. Savior, Ross- letic' director, English; Bro.

Moeller Takes Deer Park, 34-0

by Dan Shea

~ Moeller 34,

Last Friday night Moeller Crusaders picked up where t h e y left of! last November, by paddling the Deer Park Wildcats 34 to 0.

: Deer Park 0 Moeller, its defensive unit looking strong and its offensive punch stinging, ' rolled to a 34-0 victory over host Deer Park in the season football opener for both teams.

Moeller's AI Stickler, senior halfback, scored two of the Crusaders five touchdowns on runs of 14 and 22 yards. Kicking specialist Tom Wakin was very effective off the toe, booting conversions after four of the TDs.

The mistake-plagued game w a s

witnessed by what was probably the largest crov.d e'\er to Jam Deer P Jrk sta.dlum.

Al Stickler, crusader Half Back, initiated the scoring by rushing over the Deer Park !5 yard line when only 1 minute and 40 Sl'conds had elapsed. Moeller Quarterback, Jerry Buckmaster, who faces the awesome ta.sk cf fillin~ the shoes of Tora Kenny, pa.<.sed to Don Schmid for a second Crusader touchdown, with just 6 minutes and 5 secor:ol.s left in the first quarter.

In the second quarter AI StickIer again carried the mail to scoreville. This time on a 3C yard jaunt.

Moeller twice more in the second half, With one TD. c:>ming on a beautiful 60 yard rur by Junior half back Jack Monahan, and the other on a 2 yard plllllge by Dave Willcoxen.

The staunch Crusader defense made all territory from the Moeller 40 yard line on, o~f limits !or

A hard-nosed football player on the field and an honor student off, that's Donald Rahe, popular senior at Moeller High.

Don is the 5' 10", 192-lb. right guard on Moeller's varsity football team, a position which he also held last year. He made the varsity team the last three years after playing freshman balL Don has also been a member of the school's weight lifting team for four vears and the track team for three years: In track he holds the school record in the discus throw with a toss of 130 feet.

In addition, Don pitched for a Class "A" baseball team which has been District 27 champ for the past three years and was city champ in '63.

This past summer Don worked as a mechanit: in a neighborhood garage until Moeller's football practice began. Then it meant gettin_g to school at 7;30 a.m. each morning for special football meetings, movies, and -practice in 90-degree weather. Once school began, the practices were cut to about two hours after school each night. This still leaves a strict schedule for Don and the other team members. They each go to Mass and Communion each morning, then school, and then football practice from 2:30 p.m. until 4:30 or 5 p.m. His only free time comes after he has completed his homework in the evening.

Don is also entering his fourth year as a member of Moeller's Sodality, an organizB:tion dedicated to the devotion of the Blessed Mother.

He has one brother, a freshman at Moeller an:d member of ili.e Frosh football team, and two sisters. Joyce, the oldest, is married, and Nancy, is a nun at the Precious Blood Convent.

Their parents are Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rahe of All Saints Parish in Kenwood.
