Mr. French Under the faculty guidance of coach Robert French the Little Crusie football team had a hard fought season. The team showed excellent spirit and was very well coached, but due to bigger and over-powering opponents, they ended the season with a four to one record. In the first game of the season, the Crusies lost a match to Friends. The second game was with Severn. This the team won by a score of six to nothing. The touchdown was made on an interception of a pass. Clover was the one who turned the tide by the timely interception. The next game was with Edmondson. St. Paul's lost, but Peterson scored a touchdown on a fine run. They lost, next, to Severn. The last game of the season was won by Friends, the only Crusic touchdown was scored by Patterson.

Coach Hughes e 6 Vefco Pe 'hon Varsity Wrestling . . . The '57-,58 wrestling team made history at St. Paul's. Not only was it designated a varsity sport for the first time, but, climaxing an undefeated season, it sent a co-captain, Will Vercoe, into the finals of the Maryland Scholastic Association Wrestling Tournament. At 112, first-year man, Dick Peterson, showed improvement and determination as he worked throughout the season. Dick dropped all of his five matches, but provided strong opposition to rugged teams. At 120, veteran Pete Keeler leg-wrestled his way into a 7-1 season. Pete, one of the team's mainstays, provided some spectacular moments when he sprung the crucifix hold on his unsuspecting opponent. At 127, first-year Bill Annan came through with a 3-4 record. Bill met some tough grapplers and stayed with them all the way. Smacking them down at 133, co-captain Ed Freeman came through an unbeaten season only to lose by 1 point in the closing rounds of the tournament. Ed drove his opponents into the mat and was once asked to be more merciful by the referee at the Friendis meet. 145 matman, Ronnie Cox, winner of the Spirit Award, showed remarkable improvement over last year with a 6-1-1 slate. Ron beat Pattersons, captain in the tournament. At 15-4, novice John Sherwood overcame his earlier difliculties to score a win over his opponent in the Gilman meet. John had a 1-5 season. At 165, ,lack Darrell showed phenomenal ability for his first year. Jack had a 3-1-2 slate and twice pinned Edgewoodis co-captain. Will Vercoe, 175, co-captain, not only had an unbeaten season, but won the MSA wrestling ten pounds over his weight. Will made the St. Paul's Honor Role of Athletes by being chosen along with Schier of lVlcDonogh the Best Wrestler' of the Tournament. At Heavyweight, Neale Smith hit his larger grapplers hard and ended with a 7-1 average. Under the firm hand of Coach Don Hughes, Freeman, and Vercoe, this year's wrestling team not only showed itself to be one of the finest varsity teams in the city, but brought the wrestling spirit to a fever pitch at St. Paulls. 77
