FOOTBALL Playing six-man football for the first time in the historylof the school, Phelps Central ended up its five game schedule with a well-earned .victory over a Newark team which had beaten them in the first of a lwo game series. Starting with a squad of over 20 candidates, most of Whom had never seen a. football game, great strides were made in the first three weeks of practice as shown by the good performance against a stronger Palmyra team. The Orange and Black .showed a well balanced offense by scoring 24 points with a variety of passes. Karwecl: scored two, Dunning and Young one each to account for Phelps' points. Palmyra scored 36 points mostly on wide passes and line plays. Newark came to Phelps for the second game and went home with an 18 -.6 victory. The locals made over 300 yards by rushing and passing but failed to gain, in enemy territory. Don Youngs scored the only touchdown of the game. With only seconds to go and Phelps ahead 20 - 18, Palmyra recieved the ball on a punt and with the aid of some nice downfield blocking returned the ball for a thrilling game winning touchdown for a 25 - 20 win. DeVall, Young, Karweek and Sisson all scored. In a high scoring game in which 84 points were scored Dundee intercepted a Phelps lateral in the last minute of play to gain a 44 - 40 advantage. Walt Smith, who replaced Sisson, was outstanding with his pretty broken field running for re- peated gains. ' Losing two hard luck games but showing decided improvement as the season progressed, Phelps showed a hard blocking, hard tackling, and all-round finesse to upset a favored Newark team in the season finale. Outweighed and handicapped by a wet slow field, the locals slipped, slid and passed their wav to vietorv. Ite- sorting to tricky plays when in scoring territory the Orange and Black showed amazing ball handling ability with a wet, slippery ball as they worked reverses, end-around plays, and passes to completely baffle the Newark defense. Sisson scored 14 points with two touchdowns and two points after and Xllalt Smith scored the other touchdown to make it 20 - 12. , A Football Squad: Don Young, Full Back' Charles Dunning Halt' Back' Roeel Conklin, Half Back, Jack Sisson, Full Back: Walt Smith, Full Back, iAl'l,H2lll,SC, Eelnltexgltttcliatgd liarweck, End, John Needha,m, Endg Bill DeVall, End' Bob Hicks -- - ' - ' . , . ,, 1 ' D yen Jengstont Center, LaVerne Young, Center, Back, lom Steen, llaekg . vvight Petty, Back, Bill Crothers, End.

But there was another phase of the the cjuestion that evidenced itself as the season progressed. Our fine sense of sportsmanship and general attitude drew the respect of every team in the league and despite the inexperience of most of our players the games were packed with thrills and magnificent plays. '4Mac McAllister and Tom Linehan alternated as pitcher while Roger Conklin took over Larry Goodmanffs spot as catcher. John Needham played his first season at first base, while Mike Iddings and Dick Karweck handled second and third re spectively. Short -stop was ably held by Don Young and center field by Ross Mc- Carthy. Chris Ruthven and VValt Bement vied for right field while Linford 'Croll played left field. Although our glory did not rise to the greatest heights during the past year we are earnestly looking forward to other years when we can capture honors in sportsmanship and ability alike. 26 K u
