di Co .th and Schrm Udres ruffm. . 0 d Co-C,oPtcms Sm' Renfko Varsity Football . . Congratulations to the coaching staff and members of the 1957 football team for turning in the best won-lost record Saint Paulis has seen in the past seven years. Coaches Tullai and Rentko are to be congratulated for turning this seemingly weak and inexperienced team into one of the powerhouses of the city by using their comprehensive knowledge of the game and their masterful juggling of players to get the right combination. Though there was no single fixed combination it can be said that the first offensive team usually consisted of Jerry Schmidt, Butch Darrell, Larry Post, Kent Marbury, John Tompkins, Jay Gouldin, Randy Walker, Neale Smith, Bob Hachtel, Will Vercoe, and Pete Sheehan. The defensive unit was identical except that John Sherwood replaced Larry Post, Larry Nielson took Johnny Tompkins place, and Lauren Scheffenacker replaced Bob Hachtel. With the season behind us one can look back and remember but a few of the highlights of the season-Will Vercoe's game-winning pass interception against Aberdeen, Pete Sheehan's accurate place-kicking, Roy Mayne's breaking his thumb at Aberdeen, Dave Fisher moving up from the Little Crusies, Jerry Schmidt's brilliant defensive playing, Evans Coodwin,s excellent managing, Jay Couldin,s tremendous blocking, and certainly the best memory was Larry Post's election as unsung hero of the city. One of the most important factors for the success of the team was its bench strength, which was used considerably. Once again we would like to extend congratulations to the team members for the excellent job accomplished. ' 72

Mr. Mitchell 1 hfteen yard run. the second came Mr. Lentz and Mr. Mitchell coached the J. V. football team. It was an exciting season. The team, unfortunately, came out on the worst end of a four to one record, hut they made the school proud of them. In the opening game with Bel Air, the Saints were heaten. Next they lost a hout with the Little Admirals of Severn, but the defense, especially, showed great improvement. Then Asian flu took its toll. When the long postponed game with Bel Air again was played, the fighting team lost twenty-seven to thirteen. The game with lVIcDonogh highlighted the season. St. Paul's won fourteen to seven. Bill Annan scored the first T.D. with out ofa fifty-five yard pass from O'Connell to Cunnoe. Ve1'dery's midneld running and extra point ahility helped pave the way. The season ended with a loss of twenty to nothing at the hands of Gilman. 74
