Varsity and J. . Jim B,-undage Mike Medzigian Harry Van Why Right End Right Tackle Right Guard NORTH 0 JOHNSON CITY 0 An inspired North team performed the big upset of the 1950 season by stampeding over the Conference champions throughout a game that was marked by Indian domination. J. C. crossed into Indian territory only once-at the start of the game, while the Blue and Scarlet drove to the Wildcat 14, the 13, the 24, the I0 yard line and the 2 inch line. Defensively, the superior North line stopped Jack Decker cold and rushed Galatis so badly that the Ma- roon quarterback did not complete a pass. Offensively, the Indians shredded the vaunted J.C. wall for I2 first downs with Garbarino, Shepard and Ryder doing the bulk of the ball carrying.

The Indians went deep into J.C. territory in the first half, with two well sustained drives, but the big play came in the fourth period when Dick Ryder carried to the five for a first down. Ryder went to the 3 and Gar- barino to the I. On the final try, Quarterback Jim Carrigg, filling in ably for the injured Tino, cracked the center on a quarterback sneak, but failed by two inches to cross the final stripe. The deadlock gave North a Conference record of two victories, two ties and two losses for a fourth place finish in the standings. Randall, R. Jones, J. Brundage, W. Barber, John Giorgio, manager.

ar ity Football NORTH 7 ITHACA 6 The Little Redmen invaded the North Stadium in an unsuccessful attempt to gain their first victory over the Indians since 1943. Dick Ryder's touchdown from one-yard out and Garbarinois successful conversion gained the win for the Warriors. The North tally came at the end of a 52-yard drive with most of the gains being made on the ground. Ithaca scored in the fourth quarter when Quarter- back George Pfann tossed a short screen pass to Flynn and the Red halfback raced 76 yards into the end zone. A first period Ithaca drive was checked on the one- yard line when Andy Lisick and ,Ioe Orzehowski rc- covered a fumble and the Indians kicked out of danger. .loc Tino and Dick Ryder were big ground gainers for the Blue and Scarlet in this contest.

Joe Tino provided the big spark for North with a 60- yard runbaek of the second half kickoff. The little quarterback was almost in the clear when he was knocked out of bounds. The wind drove the rain with such force that fumbles were the common thing and neither team could marshall a sustained drive. Madison captured the Rochester city championship for the second straight year and will come to Bingham- ton in October for a return game with the Indians.

Footballers enjoyed one of their best years as they won all six of their scheduled games to end up in first place. Vlfith Fred Murphy calling signals and pass- ing to ends Charlie Moore and Frank Petro, and su- perb playing by the forward wall and backfield, the mighty little Braves eked out dual victories over Cen- tral, Johnson City and Union Endicott. If their per- formance this year foretells anything of the way they will play on the Varsity squad we can be pretty sure of being on top of the Southern Tier Conference Teams. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The 1951 season was not an especially bright season Ralph Frey Joe rimimwski for the Freshman Fighters. In the six games they played, CONC' L1'f'GUHf11 the future Braves won two, tied two, and lost two. Moreover, they showed all who worked with them that with a little more experience they would be top flight footballers. North's football future looks very bright for the coming seasons, thanks to the efforts of all our coaches and players. - ' . ' .'- . : . i' ' l , F. Mur h . R. Merrall. G.
