October, 1963 Page 7 BCHS Drops Opener; Then Bounces Sobos by Mike Hahn Crusader gridmen opened their '63 football season by dropping a 7-0 heartbreaker at Monroe Saturday, Sept. 7, but compensated by JERRY (Boomer) NICHOLSON puts a forearm into the blocking sled, taking a 29-19 victory from South Beloit the following Friday, as Jim Carroll looks on. Both play in the Crusaders' line. The ’Sader defense at Monroe was drumtight except for one play - a 43-yard scoring run through the right side. BCH offense, in which Grid Turnout Small But Working Hard When the Crusader gridmen started preparing for the 1963 campaign August 15, Coach Bam a bo knew what to expect - inexperience and a lot of ifs. The players have worked very hard, and it seems that they have changed the ifs into reality. Line Coach Melvin has given the team a new boost in morale. He has a great wealth of football know-how after many years of coaching the sport, and has gained the respect of the whole team. Father Lenahan has taken over the Junior Varsity squad this year and hopes to build it into a creditable team from which to fill next year's va- cancies. One of the smallest turn- outs in BCH’s football career has forced Coach Bamabo to use eigfit players for both of- fensive and defensive duty. These are: sen iors - Pot Aldrich, who plays offensive left half and is in the secondary on defense. Gory Brown, who is the two-way right tackle; Jorry Nicholson, who holds down the left tackle spot; Miko Hahn, who will be at left end both ways; and Art Luobko at left guard. The juniors who will play in dual roles are Jim Perkins, right offensive and defensive linebacker; Don Smiley, quar- terback on offense and half- back on defense; and Don Marino, holding down fullback and defensive linebacker. Players starting on offen- sive unit only are: senior Tom Forolli at ri it end and junior Dove Koster at right halfback. On the defensive unit only are juniors Jim Carroll at guard, Mike Mowers at guard, Pete Piazza at right end and Lorry Scott defensive halfback. many positions were filled by hard-nosed but inexperienced men, couldn't seem to get going. After the game many of the Crusaders admitted that they must push themselves harder to make a winning team. The following Friday, Sept. 14, the Crusaders seemed bet- ter prepared physically and psychologically. Taking the opening kickoff, the Green and White marched up the field for a first quarter score and were never overtaken. The running attack, which a week ago could hardly match the yards gained in penalties, this week ran with balance and determination. The lifeless line of the previous week turned into a 7-man barrier that made the Sobos’ defense look like a sieve. Crusader defense again gave up 7 points. South Beloit scored a total of 19 points, but one touch- down was a recovered fumble in the end-zone; the other was scored against Crusader second- stringers. Players have commented that they appreciate the fine backing from fans and the band at both games. 1963-64 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE A Sat. Sept. 7 Monroe 1:30 H Fri. Sept. 13 South Beloit 7:45 H Sat.

Page 6 LINE COAC.I MELVIN has tagged his players with what he con- siders appropriate nicknames. Here And There by Sue Choudoir A great exhibition of school spirit was shown at Saturday’s game with Monroe. 112 en- thusiastic students followed the team by bus while many others came in cars. Let’s keep up the good work and back our team - win or lose. The Sisters of Beloit top- ped off an enjoyable summer with a picnic held for them by an OLA Christian Family Movement group. A welcomed addition this year to BCH was a larger school bus, purchased for the athletic teams. The books commemorating the school's 10th Anniversary are still available in the busi- ness office for SI.00. Coach Indulges In Name-Calling The word has leaked out that anyone looking for a suitable nickname can ask our football line coach, Mr. Mel- vin, about it Among the Coach’s efforts this year have been: “The 400” Mike Hahn, an old train that couldn’t be stopped; “Paul Bunyan” - Mike Mowers, “Killer” Carroll and “Cat” Brown for their ability to find the quarterback; “Spi- der” Faralli and “Tarzan” Scott for their defensive work; »d, “Tiger” Perkins. “Jeep” Luebke, “Boo” Bergeson, and “Sherman” Nicholson for their toughness at the line. In the backfield, “Sugar” Smiley works with “Tuffie” Aldrich, “Duke” Kaster, and “Bronco” Marino. Ron Goessel Taking over the offices of Press Club for this year are: Jane Harrington, president; Pauline Van Kampen, vice president, Mary Lou Chamon, secretary; and John Aeschli- mann, treasurer. Frosh View School, Seniors View Frosh The “golden rule days” have once again returned to Beloit Catholic high school. Along with them came classes and some first impressions on the new school year. When CINDY WIELAND ’67 was asked what she thought of the first day of school she com- mented, “I don’t think. I just work here.” NANCY HANISH, JOHN ZABEL and GLEN POBURKA all thought it was quite a different experience, while BARB MOHNEY thought it was better than Dutton. SISTER AGNES CLARE, a new freshman teacher and SISTER MARY DENISE, new senior teacher, gave their candid comments. SISTER AGNES CLARE said, “Enthusiastic, eager and by the end of the day near-dead!” They’ve recovered now and as of now are still enthusiastic and eager. “All the students are very friendly.” SISTER MARY DENISE found it very pleasing but “hard on the vocal cords after 6 hours of teaching.” MARY JO KUTTER ’64 thought the freshman looked green as ever and PAULINE VAN KAMPEN ’64 said “the freshmen boys looked small”, while PAT McKEARN ’64 was quoted as saying, “The only thing I liked about the first day of school was the short- ened periods.” Coach Melvin Polishes Line by Pete Piazza Mr. Roy Melvin has returned to B.C.H.S. this fall as the assistant football coach. He brings with him the hope of attaining as much success with football as he did with the unbeaten ’Sader baseball team last year. Dealing mainly with the line, Mr. Melvin is making use of fifty-two years of foot- ball experience - from being a player and a coach both - to help mold a winning team out of the avai lable players. Popular with the players. Coach Melvin lightens prac- tice with some of his humerous quips and personal experiences. Mr. Melvin says he has been pleased with the work of the offensive line on the whole, but he expects even more from both line and backs. Sports Slants by Mike Hahn Congratulations to JOE BERTONE. C63) who has made Northern Illinois university's football team. Joe is a third string varsity guard. RON GOESSEL asks Coach Melvin to demonstrate his blocks on a blocking dummy from now on. The football players have noted that there has been a fine improvement of fan en- thusiasum at the games this year. The band has also lifted the boys' morale during the games. It's a welcome feeling to know you are solidly backed. SUPPORT CRUSADERS! Congratulations to DON MARINO, BCH’s flyweight fullback, for gaining 114 yards in the 29-19 victory against South Beloit.

Badger Boys State Impresses Mike “It was the most interesting week I have ever spent,” was Mike Hahn’s description of Badger Boys State. Mike represented BCH at the session June 15-23 at Ripon College, Ripon, Wis. Mike was placed in Solomon City, Dodge County. The county is equivalent to the dorm and the city represented his floor of the dorm. At BBS the boys learn about government. They hold elec- tions for city officials and county and state leaders. Mike was elected Mayor of Solomon City. He was also district committee-man and delegate of the Federalist party to the state assembly. During the week representa- tives attended several clas- ses explaining the different branches of the government. Mike enrolled in and graduated October. 1963 MIKE HAHN was ’63 Badger Boys’ State representative from BCHS. from Law School, where every day he, along with the majority of the boys, would hear various prominent lawyers and judges. There was also recreation time for the representatives. Official leagues were or- ganized in basketball, football, softball and tennis. A band and a concert orchestra were also formed. One of Mike’s unforgettable joys was the friendships gained during the week. Mike says he still writes to three of the friends he met and hopes to visit one of them soon.
