Middle Defeats, Spunky Buena, 20-0

Rv Jacob Schaari Jr. middle; township - An impenetrable defense and a late blooming offense. combined to give Middle Township d season opening 2(H) victoO' over / spunky but outmanned kuena Saturday * ^ Rich Rhinesmith, a 200 pound fullback, scored all of the Panthers' points, ending a frustrating drought that must have made

Coach Phil Exley worker whether he should have retired from his job one year earlier than he plans. Three times in the first half and again early in the third quarter the Panthers had golden opportunities to score, hut their offense sputtered, laying nothing but goose eggs on the scoreboard. However, Exley’s behemoths eventually tallied on a one yard run by

Rhinesmith with 2:10 left in the third quarter and after Rhinesmith caught a two point conversion pass from quarterback Torp Gihorski the game was on ice for all practical purposes. • OUR DEFENSE has had a lot of experience,” explained Exley after the game. “Early in the season the defense is usually ahead bf the offense and it. takes the ‘O’ awhile to^ catch up." Indeed, the Middle Township defense was superlative. It held Buena to minus 27 yards rushing. The Chiefs did manage B4 yards in the aih, but part of that total was on one pass that netted 42 yards. The Panthers’ first touchdown was something of a struggle. On the first play from scrimmage in the second half, Middle Township- recovered a Buena fumble on the oppo'nent’s 34 yard line. In five plays they moved the ball to the 10 yard line, Mitch Nichols carrying to that point from the 20 on a pitchout But on the next play a Panthers' fumble turned possession over to the Chiefs. Four plays later Middle Township regained the ball on a punt on its own 45 yard line. It took the panthers 13 plays to score and they were helped by a pass interferende call on the 10 yard line. The key play of the drive was a 15 yard pass from Gihorski to 6-3, 215 pound end Frank Brown. Middle Township blew the game open in the fourth quarter, Rhinesmith scoring at the end of a drive from the two yard line that began on Buena’s 31. Again

a pass to Brown, this one a 14 yarder, was the key play. The extra point kick failed, the ball dribbling along the ground. After a touchdown pass to Nichols was invalidated because of an illegal block penalty, Middle Township / came right back when the ubiquitous Frank Brown caught a 27 yard pass on the three yard line. Two plays later Rhinesmith did his thing and carried the ball over fpr the final touchdown from the two. A pass conyei«ion attempt

failed. ^

Flat Feet Assets To Hoopsters

MOORESTOWN - Flat feet bring to mind visions of foot deforfnity and a 4F Army classification. But for an athlete — especially one playing basketball — flat feet may be a real plus, according to Dr. Nathan Sabin, President of the New Aersey Podiatry Society. While Dr. Sabin agrees that the condition really is a foot deformity, he said that in certain cases it can be advantageous. HE POINTED OUT that the basketball player's feet take a greater beating than the feet of any other athlete due to the hard surface of the playing court, and those players with normal or high arches often feel pain and strain in their feet as the constant pounding of running breaks down the

arch.

“Players with genetically inherited flat feet have an advantage because their feet can't break down any^f farther,” he explained. ’Normal-arched players nlust utilize arch supports

or orthotic devices in their shoes to protect their arches from the constant

pounding."

HE AI.SO NOTED that flat feet provide a mechanical advantage for players because their entire foot touches the ground. In football, for example, players with flat feet and bow legs often have better running abilities and balance. But it's an advantage one can

only be born with.

“Athletes who experience pain or strain in their feet after a ggame should seek professional attention in order to assess the situation and receive corrective treatment,” he concluded. "Painful foot problems can slow down an athlete to the point of

ineffectiveness.”
