We're so little we had to throw a lot. We averaged 160 pounds with a 170 pound line. We throw 100 times a day in practice. And we can hit most any defense. If the other team used ball control, we were in trouble.

We have to pass to gain and we have to have the ball to pass. "Mike had great receivers. Paul Carpenter, Ken Clausen, and Tom Hoffman were the main ones. They worked on patterns all summer. We had a lot of impromptu patterns.

A lot of kids can throw 50 yards but not many can think quick enough to be able to change a pattern while the play is going on. "Mike calls a lot of audibles too. If we sec a rush coming, we call an audible. We have five different patterns to use against the rush. "I think he's a strong prospect.

Of course, I am not a very good judge because I told you the only place P'inley could play college football would be at quarterback," said Gilkey. Thomas says Martin scrambles out of necessity. "He has to," said Thomas. "But he's so big, he can complete a pass with someone hanging on him. "On our single wing series, he moves to the slot.

Dennie is a tremendous receiver because he has good hands. I think he could play tight end in college because of his good hands, his blocking ability, and his love for contact. "I have to ride him because he's so hard on the sophomores in practice. But he can take it too. I've seen him shaken up just twice.

Keith Ballenger did it in practice and Jack West of El Paso got him on a blitz. "Martin is a powerful runner. He holds on the point-after-touchdown kicks and when a hike was bad in our game with Gridley. he took off running. At about the two yard line, he went head first into two defendeii nd took them into the end zone." Through Chenoa's first eight games, Martin had completed 56 of 102 passes, averaging over 100 yards per contest.

"That El Paso game hurt the average," said Thomas. "He hit 4 of 14 for 16 yards but they didn't give him any time to set up." Martin had thrown for 10 touchdowns and three points-after-touchdowns. It was a 35-yard Martin pass that spoiled Octavia's 13-game winning streak and a 44-yard Martin pass that ruined Minonk-Dana-Rutland's 21-game Midstate Conference skein. Martin plays defense too. He was an end until moving to linebacker in Chenoa's seventh game.

"No one got around him at end," said Thomas. "Then, at linebacker, he got 13 tackles against Lexington and 14 against Gridley." 1 I 4 T'l 0 7 7 14 13 7 Scort by Quarters Illinois State Ferris State Illinois State Scoring TD Waters vd. run; Olson (1 yd. run); R. Phillips (S yd.
