In winning their ninth straight game in a perfect KeaAon, the Tars not only wrapped up roach Ed Rutherford's first Goodfellow victory hut also claimed the Fr Press State championship trophy. Catholic Central, winding up 6-3 and suffering its second Goodfellow loss in six appearances, had nothing to be ashamed of.

Trailing, 18-8, with less than 12 minutes left, the Tars needed two touchdowns to celebrate their greatest football day. Denby went out and got the job done in true championship fashion.

Thus the 14th annual Free Press Trophy, symbolic of state schoolboy supremacy, goes to Denby, only the second time a City League squad has earned Michigan's biggest prep football prize. BACK IN 1953 Jim Ninowski led Pershing High to a perfect season, climaxed by a 21-7 victory over Lourdes. Denby coach Ed Rutherford had said from the start this season that ht thought his squad was prepared mentally for this crucial assignment. But he had his anxious moments.

BY JOE DO WD ALL Little Eddie Rutherford had his greatest moment in 13 years of high school coaching at Briggs Stadium Friday night and all the Denby mentor could come up with was a breathless "WOW!" "Wow! Wow!" Rutherford repeated over and over as though trying to convince himself that his Denby squad had really won the 1980 Goodfellow' game and the mythical state championship. Not until Bill Foley, coach of defeated Catholic Central threw his arms around Rutherford and shook his hand vigorously did Rutherford come out of his trance. "A GREAT CAME.

"Ray Anderson pulled us out with his catches in the second half. He got the ball when we needed it the most." ANDERSON caught two key passes after Catholic Central had moved from an 8-0 deficit to an 18-8 lead. Both times he took a pass from an 8-0 deficit to an 18-8 lead. Both times he took a pass from Tar quarterback Bob Schram to spearhead Denby's victorious rally. Foley, on the verge of tears, didn't offer it as an excuse, hut he said that things may have been different had not the Shamrocks lost two of its key men in the second quarter.

Left guard Bill Hagen had his arm ripped out of its socket in the first quarter and had to retire from the game in pain in the second quarter. JERRY GRZYWACZ, half of the Shamrock's one-two punch with Bill Downs, was lost in the second quarter when a Denby player fell on his ankle and sprained it.

One group of six boys actually got to the line of scrimmage before officials finally called time.

Only two plays got under way in that time as the kids took over the field. Fortunately. Denby had the ball and was controlling play at the time.
