Football Faced with one of the stiffest schedules in B.F.A.,s history, Coach Bartnick started the season with only two returning veterans from last year's championship team. They were co-captains John Valhouli and Gordon Cates. Several others had seen limited service. In the first game, the boys started off against rugged Exeter. They fought their way to two quick touchdowns to lead at the end of the first quarter 13-0. Due to Exeter's superior reserve strength, and to crucial injuries to Valhouli, Glynn, Stanger, and Gill, Exeter was able to overcome the lead and to win out 28-19. Val, Zito, Meehan, and Vinal,s placement accounted for Brewster's scoring. Despite a sterling defense offered by the B.F.A. line, Tilton capitalized on an inter- cepted pass to draw first blood. Long runs and the passing combination of Odiorne and Stanger resulted in a touchdown by Serino for Brewster. In the fourth period, Tilton made the most of another interception for their second score and a 13-6 victory. Rebounding from two consecutive defeats, the Brewster eleven toppled the U.N.H. I.V.'s. While Gates, Testa, and Modugno were sparking the line on defensive play, the B.F.A. backfield proved its decided superiority. The running and blocking of Serino, touch- downs by Meehan, his second on an 85-yard run, and Val,s final score were the highlights of the contest.

' Front Row: Shannon, Kenney, Wyman. 1 N 1 AX ay' MQ! nth , Jiiilixj Af Cheerleaders One very important aspect of athletics is the cheerleaders. With this fact in mind, mana- girls went out to practice. Miss Setzer served as faculty advisor. 4 he returning veterans from last year's squad included Captain Charlotte Kenney, june Brodrick, Martha Shannon, Betty Moore, Lois Wyman, and Martha White. Those newly appointed included Anne Nelson, Carlina Mugridge, and Helen Baxter. The pre-game pep rallies did much to arouse the spirit of both the players and the student body. However, this was only a small example of the squadis ambition, because it displayed twice as much enthusiasm at the games. Although not part of its job, the squad volunteered to cheer the soccer team at the home games. This was to the delight of both the players and the spectators. With such willingness and cooperation as the girls displayed, it can easily be seen that this year's squad will be hard to surpass. .28.

r Playing a much heralded Brandeis team, the B.F.A. line played undoubtedly its best game of the year. Completely stalled in its ground attack, Brandeis resorted to a passing game, and took advantage of the height of its receivers by scoring three times in this manner. B.F.A.'s lone score was the result of a pass from Gill to end Stanger, who scampered the remaining 20 yards for the touchdown. A highly touted Norwich Freshman team, undefeated, untied, and unscored upon, became Brewstefs second victim. A defensive line sparked by Modugno completely stunned the invaders. Despite a constant downpour and a thick layer of mud, Meehan's identical 45-yard runs, a similar feat by Serino, and two placements by Valhouli spelled downfall for the Vermonters. The final game of the season was against a powerful U.N.H. Freshman team which was eager to avenge last year's defeat. U.N.H. completely dominated the play in the first half, taking a 20-0 lead. Outweighed, but not outfought, a tired Brewster team attempted to stem the onslaught in the final period. After a 26-yard pass had scored for the Wild- kittens, a thrilling 81-yard kickoff return by Bill Meehan for B.F.A.'s lone tally brought the crowd to its feet. The 34-6 defeat rang down the curtain for the 1950 Brewster foot- ball season. isf ag',1a.,g4' , , 2- ms..- Track The 1950 track team at Brewster scored high honors.
