TIIEY ARE This year Brush fielded a football team that was a great improvement over the teams representing our school in the past two years. Many hours were spent by the coaches, long before the practice sessions began, in prep- aration of the new T offensive. Good planning, intelli- gent and conscientious coaching combined with the spirit of a group of boys who wanted to play football gave us a team of which we can be proud. The Arcs weathered the season with a five win-three defeat record. Two of the defeats were by championship teams, Painesville of the Northeastern Conference and Maple Heights, champs of our own Greater Cleveland Conference. The '51 squad was capably led by Co-captains Bob Spies and Al Longo. Several of the team, Al Longo, Tom Crowl, Dan Opatrny, Bob Spies, and Charles Hoefle, were selected for the All-Star team of Greater Cleveland, to put a fitting climax to a successful football season. 2?

coach-wise The long autumn afternoons around Brush give us an in- teresting picture, There's activity on the football field. Head Coach Schlaff, with his capable assistants, Mr. Biegler, Mr. Piccuta, and Mr. Plinke is out drilling the squad day after day. In a regular scrimmage there are always new plays to be learned, old ones to be revised. It is this combination of tire- less, patient coaching and driving determination of players which makes a thrilling gridiron season. 1 u 1 4 .
