. ,Q- .A jg , j.- . L. ,i,,f' in CONLEY GARY fense for a touchdown. Gordie Hall made a remark- able interception late in the second half, but was unable to outrun the clock. The scoreboard still read 6-6 at the final whistle. A week later Gunnery met Wooster on home ground for a Parents' Day game. The Grid-men played an exciting match as the squads were even in their playing ability, the score constantly wavered back and forth. Later in the game Frank Milliken sprinted 64 yards to carry the ball over for six points. Gunnery edged out the visitors 25-21. The team met a cold and wet defeat on the muddy field at Trinity-Pawling. The Blue and Gold had bet- ter command of the ball under these adverse condi- tions, and soon headed the Red and Gray by 12-O. However, Norm Hines managed to battle his way over the enemy line to make the score 12-6 at the end of the game. V With encouragement from their dates for the eve- ning dance, the home team had little difficulty in crushing the Hopkins Grammar School 29-7. The heavy snow and almost arctic cold did not hinder the bril- liant performance of Pete Smith who made three spec- tacular touchdowns. Hanan scored a safety, and Mil- liken ran 80 yards for another six points. Jack Griggs added still two more to the score when he kicked for the extra points. The last and perhaps the most exciting game of the year finished with a Gunnery victory over South Kent. When the score was tied 13-13, Milliken successfully fought his way across 70 yards of snow-covered field to give the Red and Gray a winning score of 19-13. The season's football team proved even more suc- cessful than could have been hoped for with only four old hands to lead the squad. With the experi- ence gained this fall, Captain elect Fred Melius should be able to lead his team to even greater success in 1956. STEIN MERRILL HANAN CCAPTAINJ
