TOM KING TURNS ON THE STEAM! PIRATES BURY TRENTON CATHOLIC 26-7 THE PIRATE,S PLANS to avenge for last year's final three second victory by Trenton Catholic materialized early on an end run by Marty Zittel. Trenton Catholic, however, took the lead on a pass and conversion. It was a different story in the second half, as the Pirates completely dominated play. John Keegan picked up a Trenton fumble and hot-footed 35 yards for a score. Then Dunnion swept the end for another tally. After an interception by Dunnion to the twenty, Zittel zipped over for the final TD. Egan's kick was good and the final score stood 26-7. ALL-AMERICAN EGAN CUTS CROSS COUN- TRY!

PIRATES CAGE BENGALS 6-0 IN SPITE or A HURRICANE, the opening game of the season showed the young Pirate team to have the potential for a fine season. Especially noticed was the fine defense which yielded only 22 yards to the Ben- gals. The offensive highlight was a pass from Rallo to Egan which created the lone touch down of the day. Such new comers as A1 Mattia, Carl Casano, and Mike O'Connor showed their stellar ability on defense. Experienced veterans such as Jerry Sebold, Ronny Rallo and Corky Kray also showed promise of a great season. PIRATES DUEL RAIDERS TO 0-0 TIE AFTR THE BLOOMFIELD ENCOUNTER, the Pirates took on a tough East Side team. Once again the defense showed their excellent ability. The Red Raiders never penetrated beyond Seton Hall's forty yard line. The offense, time and again, had chances to score from inside the ten. They were over the goal in the fourth quarter, but a fumble by Dunnion eradicated the score. Ronny Rallo again showed his line ability in running' the team from his quarterback slot but the stubborn Newarkers wouldn't yield. Ever present athletic director, Rev. Joseph J. Vopelak sweats out key play at Immaculate. HUGH DUNNION SEVEN GETS BIG SIX! Connie Egan snares touch- down pass that defeats Bloomfield.

IT,S A HARD LESSON-LEARNING TG LUSH! Bench looks for solution for 0-6 score at St. Cecilia's. RONALD RALLO TONY TALKS TURKEY AT HALF! Board of strategy maps second half attack. PIRATES CUT DOWN GAELS 25-0 ROLLING ALONG IN HIGH GEAR, the Hall's next victim was an undefeated St. Mary's eleven. Early in the first period Dun- nion took a hand-off from Rallo and scampered into the end zone. Connie Egan then climaxed an eighty-five yard march and went over from the one. The Pirates ended the first half in fine style when Tom King, on a reverse, galloped sixty-two yards for the third touchdown. In the third period, Casano picked up a punt, which was blocked hy Scrafani, to end the scoring 25-0. TOM KING TOM FEEHAN BOB O'CONNELL SAINTS UPSET SETONIA 6-0 LOOKING FORWARD 'ro an undefeated campaign, the Pirates were defeated by an underated Englewood team. The Hal1's offense, averaging close to 200 yards a game, just couldn't get organized. With Rallo suffering from a shoulder in- jury, the backfield didn't knit at all. The game progressed into the fourth quarter before the Saints got a hreak. .lay Gerish recovered a fumble on the Hall's twenty-two. Frank Robinson then plunged over from the one. This was the deciding factor in a hard fought game that was the only black spot on the Hall's record for '56. n wav
