RECAP: Easy Victory for Gee-Gees Over Loyola 

Business at hand for Matt Anthony and his University of Ottawa were Loyola College Warriors and next Saturday's Atlantic Bowl game Saturday afternoon at Lansdowne Park.

However, the Gee-Gees handled both situations with a dispatch that gave promise of a worthy display in the bowl against Don Loney's St. Francis Xavier University aggregation. The X-men, unbeaten in 26 games gained the other spot in the Maritime version of the Grey Cup by sinking Stadacona Sailors, 30-9, at the same time.

On the field, the powerful Sandy Hill outfit ambledto a 49-13 triumph over the previously undefeated Warriors to lay a firm hold on the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference title. The triumph was also the eighth straight for the garnet and grey, Ontario Conference champions.

With the Ontario Conference title, U of O took the Otttawa St.-Lawerence "A" title. They were challenged by Warriors, "B" winners and unbeaten in 15 games.

The Atlantic Bowl entered the picture from the roof in the presence on an unadvertised movie camera. It was properly and politely asked to cease and desist from recording action on the field and it did.

On the gridiron, the Gee-Gees had just too much polish for the Warriors, who did show a couple of sparkling individuals. The score went to 22-0 quickly and then there was a good stream of traffic to and from the U of O bench as Anthony subsituted freely.

Varsity inlcuded scoring plays from one yard to a 100, the latter an electrifying return of the second-half kikoff by Peter Barnabe. "We've been trying for one all year," said Matt. "Come close a couple of times, but this time we did it."

Barnabe, who was a two-touchdown man and added a 50-yard fourth-quarter single as well, took the ball about his own 10 and broke out of the mob about the U of O 35. He had Earl Blackadder as a convoy and carried the last Warrior defensive man into the end zone in the dash along the north touch line.

Blackadder, Pete Radley, Bill Hendy, Gleb Robinson, and Rick Carbonneau also scored six-pointers. Don Myles added the remaining points on a 34-yard placement and four converts.

Jack Hogan and Bill Bacon picked off the Loyla majors. Peter Howlett, a good football player, converted one.
