F. BLACKINTON R. DE STEFANO J. PFLUG J. WAYLAND S. LOMBARDI J. MELLONE W- BRANDY BARRINGTON ROMPS OVER PAWTUCKET VOKE Piling up a 5 touchdown lead in the first half, the Eagles coasted to an easy 39-7 walkaway victory over Pawtucket Voke. As in the North Providence game, the reserves gained valuable experience and made an excellent showing. Offensively, it was Blackinton, Larisa, Morin, and Anderson, while Di Orio and Mellone shone on defense. EAGLES WHIP NORTH KINGSTOWN Barrington's gridders proved to be good mudders as they sloshed to a 23-0 victory over North Kingstown on a messy field at Wickford. Black- inton, Barrington's All-Stater, again shone as he led the Eagles' attack with 3 touchdowns. Barrington gained a 21-0 lead in the first half and played a defensive game in the second half. Brandy and Locke spearheaded a hard-charging line which kept the Skippers bottled up in their own territory most of the afternoon. EAGLES CRUSH INDIAN A revenge-minded Barrington football team crushed their cross-county rivals, the Warren In- dians, to the tune of 34--0. This more than atoned for a 33-0 defeat which Warren inflicted upon the Eagles in 1953. It was the same story again: a fleet of strong backs led by Blackinton who scored 4 TD's behind a big, strong line. Wayland, Gabarra, and Di Marco were the major contributors in the Eagles' decisive victory. BRONCOS AND EAGLES TIE Burrillville's league-leading Broncos came to town to face the second-place Eagles in a battle for the Class C top slot. Played before a tremendous crowd, the game turned out to be a real thriller. With neither team able to move with any degree of success, it was a battle of hard-charging defen- sive lines.

BARRINGTON EDGES EAST GREENWICH Barrington barely eked out a 26-19 victory in a sloppily played game at Victory Field. The Eagles went ahead three times, but on each occasion the Greenies tied the score, Barrington fumbles led to two East Greenwich scores. Barrington went ahead to stay in the fourth quarter as a result of Pflug's nifty nine-yard scoring jaunt. Blackinton, as usual, was the Eagles' bread-and-butter runner, scoring 3 TD,sg Lombardi and Larisa played their usual fine defensive game. EAGLES BOW TO LOCKWOOD ln a battle of unbeaten titans, Barrington ran up against a talented and scrappy Lockwood team. The Blue Devils scored twice in the first quarter and then were kept at bay for the remainder of the game. Those two touchdowns, however, proved to be the Eagles, undoing, as the closest they could come was the Lockwood 15 yard line on the last play of the game. As a result of their victory, Lock- wood remained in first place-unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon. GOGCAQS Rasmussen, Medeiros McGregor. 9l

The Broncos' deepest penetration came on their first series of downs when they stalled on the Eagles' 4-1. After that they were kept in their own territory. Barrington drove all the way to the nine, but then the Burrillville line stiffened out and Barrington ran aground. Blackinton was Barring- ton's most consistent ground-gainer. The Eagles' defensive was largely a result of the work of Lombardi, Mellone, De Orio, and Larisa. EAGLES TUMBLE COLT Barrington closed its best football season in a decade by overpowering a game, but beaten, Bristol eleven. This was Barrington's first football victory over Colt in seven years. Barrington's scor- ing punch was distributed among Larisa, Blackin- ton, and Kershaw. Again it was Barrington's line that opened the big holes, enabling the backs to reel off big gains. The Eagles' forward foil did not allow the Colt eleven to penetrate any deeper than the Barrington fifteen. The Eagles' tremendous line was spearheaded by Di Orio, De Stefano, and Di Marco. Everyone who played, however, con- tributed in this fine victory which put the icing on the cake of a wonderful football season.
