Football Football talent, like character, is made over a long period not concocted out of a single, bright resolution. Therefore, each March an eager group of hopefuls take their places on the plains of Derrylield Park to form the units of a new Bradley varsity eleven. Until the fol lowing Thanksgiving Day, these athletes must be conscious of the importance of their roles in molding the team into a cohesive, smoothly functioning machine. Behind all the calisthenics, blocking and tackling are the strategy and tactics for the future campaign. These must be formulated by the coaching staff after it has assayed its available talent. And the master plan must be pliable enough to adjust itself to the opposi- tion's varying attack. Finally, the basic task of outfltting and checking equipment rests with the moderator and his managers. All this planning and preparation is essen- tial to the safety of a football team. Its suc- cesses can be traced directly to the fidelity of the players to their practice sessions, to the clever maneuvers of the coaches and the selfless work of the managers.

On that day, one more phase of Bradleyl athletics came of age as we defeated the Little Green. Buoye up by the successes of the two previous games, the Red an Blue stalwarts entered the contest combative, resourceful an undefeated. Coy and kirtenish for the first quarter, both teams pt civilities aside in the second frame. Central continually den ing the Pioneer line with the final puncture coming at 5:0 of the quarter. Aroused, the Pioneers retaliated with a scil tillating air attack climaxing in a touchdown and a valuabl extra point. The valiant Pioneer defenses contained all further thrus though at times seeming ready to come apart at the seam In the meantime, an insurance touchdown was added, agai via the air rcute. They served up a melodrama in the fin hectic minutes employing interceptions and fumbles as tl ingredients. The 1954 Red and Blue eleven played well in oth games, notably against Dover and Concord, but this was the finest performance.
