Raiders VictoriousBy DAN DEBBIE

The Scotch Plains-FanwoodFreshmen football team had itsfirst pre-season scrimmageagainst Wesrfield Blue-devils, Itresulted in a 12-6 Raider victory.As a member of the footballteam, I thought that Bob Cham-bliss was the outstanding runnerof the day. Ho scored on touch-down on an end sweep. On severaloccasions he broke away for longyardage. Matt Mobile scored theother Raider touclulosvn cm areverse play with hard and strongrunning. The maneuvering atquarter back was shared betweenSteve Williams and John Scerboand both did an adequate job. joeChecchio added some hard run-ning at fullback. Our defense didvery well by allowing only onetouchdown scored against them,This victory against Wesrfieldcould mean a fine season for theFreshmen team.
