Hold up thar, cries little linebacker Joe Coffey to Villanova halfback Dick Bedesem. MISSISSIPPI 34— B.C. 7 Crijmp Stadium, Memphis, October 5th. Tommy Joe Sullivan returned a kickoff 90 yards and Jim Kane made an impressive debut at quarter, but that ' s about all the Eagles had to offer in this one. Eleven fumbles by B.C. and a passer named Dick Lear accounted for most of the Rebel touchdowns. The temperature was over 90 and that didn ' t help things, either. FORDIIAM .S.5— B.C. 19 Kane ' s arm, unveiled for the first time to local fans, pitched the Eagles to their three touch- downs under the Braves Field lamps, but the Rams were as willing as the Rebels to capitalize on B.C. bobbles. Fordham q.b. Roger Franz passed well and when he wasn ' t there his running backs were. Ends Roarke and Pollinger and tiny halfback Zotti were the recipients of Kane ' s tossing enterprises and scored the Eagle touchdowns. DETROIT 19— B.C. 13 Unlucky! B.C. dropped its 13th straight on another dismal Friday night, this time to the oft- beaten Titans. Detroit jammed all its scoring into the second period. After Kane was banged up, forgotten senior quarterback Bob Richards went in and almost won the game. He threw one scoring pass and directed the Eagles to their best sustained marches of the contest. He was at the helm during a last -minute surge that might have resulted in a tally were it not for the nasty old clock. Johnson scored the other T.D. earlier. GEORGIA 35— B.C. 28 Georgia would have been a peach of an upset for B.C. — and that ' s almost what did happen, on October 27th at Athens. Kane, who was later put out of commission with a broken nose. 13 VILLANOVA RICHMOND chucked long ones to Roarke, Abeam and Brosnahan — all in the second period and all for touch- downs. At one time the Eagles led, 21-14. Richards hit Roarke again for a score with 4 minutes to play, but by then Bulldogs Zeke Bratowski and Harry Babcock had combined to push across the deciding markers in the third quarter. The Eagles complained bitterly that Georgia ' s third touchdown pass was caught on the first bounce. But what can you do? Fine showing, anyway. CLEMSON 21— B.C. 2 Better not even to talk about this one. After a good performance over Georgia and a win over Richmond the week before, the Eagles had all they could do to score a safety in the last 10 seconds. They fumbled away one chance after another. Tailback Billy Hair certainly got in B.C. ' s on an otherwise pleasant South Carolina November 10th. It was the 6th loss of the season for B.C. Down in the dumps? Yes, but two days later. Father Maxwell assured the Alumni that B.C. had no intention of giving up football — newspaper speculation notwithstanding. Only the Very Reverend Rector ' s predictions for success were realized sooner than he expected! Brosnahan slithers away from a Richmond back after a hand-off from Kane (20).

BOSTON COLLEGE 20 21 Ahearn, thy name is mud! Joe was just as glad in the sloppy game against Richmond, as he swam to a twelve yard gain over the Spiders. Grant took Richmond — and so did Boston College, Suh!
