Page 32 s fx., Pompton Lakes--18 Ridgewood--14 Displaying a pile driving offensive sparked by Pompton's Dick Sanders and Phil Prestipino, the Pompton Lakes Cardinals inaugurated their eleventh football campaign by whipping their arch rivals from Bergen County, Ridgewood, by an 18-14 score. Deception was the keynote in the Pompton attack as the big red opened up with some razzle dazzle that was little short of sensational. Dick Sanders scored two touchdowns while Al Bogie tallied the other. The forward wall made a gallant goal line stand in the closing minutes of the game to stave off a Ridgewood bid for victory. 5 -4 25 9? 3? Pompton Lakes-27 Dover-6 Ripping Dover's forward wall to shreds, the Pompton Lakes Car- dinals registercd their second straight victory of the season by an easy 27-6 count. Again it was the running of Dick Sanders, Phil Prestipino and Al Bogie that paced the Laker's attack.

FINEST JAMES ROE Football Captain A sturdy link in a long chain of brilliant predecessors was our captain of 1943, James Roe. A wise leader and a talented guard, Jim was a natural for the job. Conducting our stalwarts through a highly successful season, Jim was a bulwark on the defense and a tiger on the offense. He was duly selected first team guard for his group on the all-state team. Half-Time Display PHIL PRESTIPINO Basketball Captain No one deserves the position of basketball captain more than Phil. On the court he is one of the most determined, best spirited players that can be found. By his ability to fight harder when the going gets tough, he inspires his team mates to do the same. ' h ff the court, he turns Quiet, almost s y o into a wild demon at the opening whistle. Indeed, Phil is a fine captain and a great sport. ,, -.kg 711 .L .f..v,-A ..-fd vi .D l -J'-,M - i 4 FJ ,Ui ily--Qf '!! .E I'- Page 31

Pompton Lakes-7 Bogota-0 With the score tied 0-0 at half time, the Pompton Lakes State Championship bound express almost jumped the track as a surprising Bogota eleven battled them tooth and nail before giving way to Coach Benson's powerhouse club in the third period, 7-0. . A wet field, plus the illness of scat-back Dick Sanders almost caused a Pompton defeat.

The forward wall came in for most of the credit, however, as they repeatedly turned back a stronger Bogotaeleven. 35' we if I? Pompton Lakes-40 Ridgewood-0 Due to travel restrictions, intersectional tilts had to be done away with, and in order to complete the schedule, Coach Benson booked two games with Ridgewood. It was a sorry afternoon for all Ridgewood followers as Dick Sanders, with the aid of a powerhouse line, went on a scoring rampage. Sanders scored three touchdowns himself and passed to Bruce Ogilvie and Bill Gormley for two others. The other Pompton score came by virtue of Don Lockett's blocking a Ridgewood kick and joe Daly's re- covering for Pompton in the Ridgewood end zone. ,X .W.J..A I Last Row: Coach C. Benson, R.
