For the second year in a row, a new administrator was assigned to St. Aloysius.

• Brother Flavian, S.C., the principal at St. Stanislaus, swapped places with Brother Lee.
• The new principal inaugurated a set of elective courses for students, including a senior offering called Data Process­ing, the first high school computer course in the state of Louisiana.

But the major change involved planning for a new St. Aloysius.

• Faced with crowded, outmoded facilities at 1137 Esplanade and concerned with the deterioration of the sur­rounding neighborhood, the provincial council accepted a contract with the Archdiocese of New Orleans to admini­ster a new school on a 17-acre tract of land in Harahan.
• The brothers and the archdiocese were to share equally the construction costs of the new school.
• The archdiocese agreed to buy the old St. Aloysius school and property from the brothers at the appraised price.
• Opening of the new school was set for September, 1968.

The football staff underwent several changes as well.

• John Arms, David McDonald, and Carlton Sweeney moved on.
• Linden Bercegeay and Al Nastasi ('60) joined holdovers Jack Schommer and Pat Richard to complete Bill Arms' staff.

• Q1: Neither team mustered a scoring drive during the first six min­utes until Lafayette took over on the SA 43 when Rini fumbled a handoff from Tillman. On the first play, Coussan connected with Scott Brupbacher for a quick 6-0 lead. The Lions held off the visi­tors until 0:59 was left when Tillman hit Kael for a 67y TD. Jimmy Tillette's PAT gave Aloysius a lead it never relinquished.
• Q2: Larry completed a drive with a 34y strike to Mickey Evans for a 14-6 advantage with less than two minutes left in the half.
• Q3: Joe Winkler hauled in a 47y pass from Tillman to boost the lead to 20-12. Then Larry ended a scoring drive with a 1y sneak. Lafayette scored on a 44y by Bob St. Amant.
• Q4: The only points in the period came off the toe of Steve Falati - a 14y field goal.

• First half: Neither team seriously threatened as the fired-up Warri­ors held the SA passing game in check, and the Crusaders failed to capitalize on several major penalties against EJ. Evans' 25y run was the highlight of the first 24 minutes. The Tribe used the power running of Charley Dees and Pat Brown to advantage, but the Crimson D stiffened in the clutch.
• Q3: The Warriors finally broke the ice when Robert Roca booted a 35y FG. But that's when the SA offense finally got in gear, driving 80y in 15 plays that spanned the quarters.
• Q4: Tillman's first down passes to Rini propelled the march until Evans scored from the 1 with 9:37 left. Falati's EP kick failed. Later in the period, the Saints added an insurance tally with a methodical 62y, 9-play drive, all on the ground. Evans' 33y scamper set up Kael's 2y plunge with 3:02 left. Falati's boot sailed true this time.

• First half: The Bees swarmed twice to halt Crusader threats within the shadow of their goal.
• Q3: Twice more, SA threatened but bogged down.
• Q4: After playing on their own side of the field most of the day, the West Bankers finally got past midfield with 8:20 to play, reaching the 48. But Aloysius forced a punt. After another ex­change of kicks, the Crusaders started a possession 73y from pay dirt with only 2:08 on the clock. They started with a trick play. The ball was lateralled back to Tillman after a double re­verse, and he ran 13y. However, on the next play, T Harold Hawkins smeared the signal-caller for a 10y loss. Not discour­aged, Larry hit Rini for 12. On third down, Tillman backed off from a bevy of blitzers and, spotting Kael near the right side­line, fired over the heads of two defenders to the Bee 35 where Rudy gathered in the pigskin and raced to the EZ with 1:14 left. Falati's place kick missed.

• Q1: Biloxi took the lead on the second play from scrim­mage. Tillman sent Rini on a down and out pattern, but Floyd Franks stepped in and pulled down the pass at the SA 36 and went the distance. Jake Guice booted the first of two PATs with only 1:09 expired. Aloysius took the kickoff and controlled the ball until 3:54 re­mained in the period but turned over the ball on downs at the Biloxi 19.
• Q2: With 4:39 left, the Indians took over on the SA 44 following an exchange of punts. A first down pass from QB Ernie Brown to TE Lionel Fayard gained 9. On the next snap, Fayard sprinted down the middle, and Brown laid it on the button for the second TD. Another INT gave the Mississippians a scoring try in the last minute, but Guice's 31y FG attempt sailed wide right with 7 seconds left.
• Q3: Down 13-0, the Crusaders lost a golden opportu­nity when Tillman connected with John Schmidt for 41y only to have Franks haul him down from behind and force a fumble, which the Indians recovered on their 28.
• Q4: The third home team TD came on a 4y jaunt by WB William Harris that culminated a 53y, 9-play march. Brown delivered the key run on 3rd-and-9 when he gained 18 to the SA 35. Later, Ernie raced 14y around LE for Biloxi's final TD. Aloysius avoided a shutout on the last play of the game when Tillman passed to Rini from the 10.

• Q1: Jesuit played superb defense, containing the Crusader runners and covering Tillman's receivers like glue. Midway through the quarter, Richard Collins intercepted a Tillman toss and sped 63y down the sidelines for the second INT return TD against the Crusaders in two games. Guy Faulstich booted the PAT for a 7-0 lead with 7:18 on the clock.
• Q2: After several punts, TB Ludman, alternating with Tim Screen, led a 69y march in 13 plays. Ludman turned in the crucial play on 4th-and-7 at the SA 26 when he scampered 21y. After a penalty back to the 10, Screen hit Dick Lacour to the 1. After two unsuccessful tries, Paul Boudreaux bucked over on fourth down. The Crusaders finally gained their initial first down late in the period.
• Q3: Sticking mostly to the ground, the Saints used up most of the period on a 63y, 19-play drive. On 4th-and-goal from the 1, Jesuit stopped the play but were guilty of offsides. Given a sec­ond chance, a Crusader jumped offside to push the ball back to the 5, from where Tillman was stopped cold.
• Q4: Aloysius turned a Jay fumble into a score late in the game. Taking over at the 19, the Saints scored in four plays, the last being Cammarata 4y run. Falati's PAT gave the Crusaders a chance with 5:13 remaining, but an INT by Wally Farge - the last of five Crimson turnovers - stifled the comeback attempt.

• John Kalbacher's Tigers boasted the top QB in the league, Herman "Butch" Duhe, a well-built 185-pounder who ran and passed with equal dexterity. He had made All-District as a junior in '65.
• As usual, HC fielded multiple RBs in the person of Ronnie Scarengoes and Kenny Hrapman.
• Junior TE Jesse Truax provided Duhe with a 6'6" 215 lb target. If de­fenses blanketed Jesse, Butch could turn to WR Myles Casbon.
• For the second week in a row, a Crusader game would be aired on WDSU radio.

• With many players from Jefferson Parish, the Crusaders didn't want to lose to Rummel. They also wanted to push their record back over .500 after three straight losses.
• The Raiders boasted an undefeated district record, 2-0-1, the tie coming against De La Salle, their sister Christian Brothers school. Joe Galliano's squad was 5-1-1 overall.
• QB Dennis Hubbell, HBs Wayne Jusselin and Richard Cambre, and FB Gary Guarisco spearheaded the Raider attack.

Piling up an astonishing 377y of offense, the Crusaders scored in every period to spoil Rummel's homecoming before 7500 fans.

• Q1: Left-handed QB Jim Tillette's 1y keeper on fourth down put the clincher on a 53y drive that covered six snaps. The key play was a 29y run by sophomore HB Joe Winkler to the 7. Falati's PAT made it 7-0 at the 5:47 mark. The next time the Crusaders got their hands on the pigskin, they staged another sustained drive - 75y in 15 plays.
• Q2: On the first play, Tillette passed to E Joe Maggio from 1y out. Jusselin blocked Falati's extra-point attempt. The Raiders got on the scoreboard with 2:44 to go when Danny Boudreaux hauled in a 19y HB pass from Jusselin on the 15th play of a possession that covered 88y. Tillette blocked the PAT.
• Q3: Aloysius pushed the lead back to 13 with 6:55 left. With the ball on the 3, Tillman fumbled the snap but recov­ered to hit Rini in the midst of very heavy traffic at the goal line. The TD was set up when Leslie recovered a Raider fumble at the 29. Falati's kick went wide right.
• Q4: Each team added a rushing TD - Winkler from the 9 and Guarisco from the 1.

The Crusaders didn't put away the plucky Rams until the last period.

• Q1: Redemptorist scored first on a 12y pass from Bill Garrity to E Jimmy O'Brien. The kick failed. The TD was set up when Garrity's punt hit an Aloysius man on the leg, and Bill Mura recovered at the SA 22.
• Q2: The Crusaders seized the lead on Till­man's 12y run and Falati's PAT.
• Q3: Cammarata extended the lead to 14-6 with a 1y plunge.
• Q4: Sophomore E Al Briede tallied his first points of the season on the receiving end of a Tillette aerial from the 10. Falati added the 21st point. But the Rams fought back on FB Arnold White's 2y run. Finally, Winkler put the game away with a 1y TD.

The Crusaders fell 3y short of matching their 264y on the ground against Rummel.

• Cammarata led all ball carriers with 103y in 13 carries.
• Tillman added 82y on 11 thrusts while Tillette toted the pigskin five times for 56y.

• Q1: Aloysius scored on its first possession. Cammarata took a pitchout from Tillette and circled E for 44y.
• Q2: After Evans stopped a Shaw threat with the first of his three INTs on the afternoon, this one in the EZ, the Saints marched 80y in four plays with the rejuvenated Kael bursting off LT for the final 27y. Two minutes later, Evans struck again, picking off Ken Orgeron's pass and returning it 26y to the Eagle 6. Two plays after that, Tillman swept over from the 5. Before the half ended, Floyd Callais scampered 51y on a reverse to pay dirt.
• Q3: Deep into the period, Tillman capped a 63y march with a 30y gallop into the EZ.
• Q4: The Eagles avoided a shutout with 5:55 left when Orgeron hit Kim Labauve with a 16y strike. Both teams scored in the last 20 seconds. Cammarata dove over from the 3. Then Shaw returned the kickoff to their 31. From there, Orgeron connected with Bill Crump at midfield, and the fleet end streaked to the EZ.

Cammarata again topped the ground gainers with 96y on 12 attempts, followed closely by Tillman, who accounted for 73y on 11 carries.

• Q1: DLS took a 7-0 lead on a 67y burst up the middle by Chappuis and Stein's conversion with 3:32 to play. The three-play drive cov­ered 76y. But the Saints came right back to knot the count by mov­ing 60y with Tillman going over from a yard out with 21 seconds left. Falati converted. Chappuis returned the kickoff 43y to the SA 43 to put the Cavs in position for their second TD.
• Q2: The Cavaliers regained the lead on a Lauland-to-Rateau pass covering 5y, Jules making a diving catch in the EZ. With 2:20 on the clock, Cammarata smashed over from the 1 to make it 14-13, but Falati's kick was blocked by Richie Krohn. Everybody expected that score to prevail at the break but DLS struck with 42 seconds left on Lauland's second scoring pass to Rateau, this one covering 29y. The TD was delayed by a 15y clip­ping penalty that cancelled Lauland's run to the SA 6 and placed the ball on the 40.
• Q3: After receiving the kickoff, Aloysius had to punt. The Sallies then drove 89y in 18 plays.
• Q4: Bolotte finished the deal with a 4y run to extend the lead to 14. The Saints closed the gap on a 64y pass and run from Tillman to Garey Forster.
