VARSITY FIRST ROW: E. Zelle, J. Schneider, A. Bennett, F. Cates, J. Lebowitz, J. Flanagan, W. Beck, E. Magi, J. Roberto, H. Ratner, W. Ruby. SECOND ROW: Managers G. Lessner and S. Kasden, P.

Four years ago the Warde Eagles were the step- ping stones of the district football teams, but this year they were a team to be reckoned with. The team was greatly dependent upon the sturdy line which included Walt Beck, all-state tackle, Ed Magi, Ed Zelle, Walt Ruby, Fred Gates, Jim Roberto, Jack Schneider, Don Kessler, Dave Schempp, and Jeff Lebowitz. While the defense held nine opponents to a total of 24- points and shut out six of them, the offense opened up wide gaps in the opponents' lines for the hard-running backfield. This potent back- field consisted of Jack Flanagan, fullback, Al Ben- nett, wingbackg Howie Ratner and Joe Vige, quar- terbacks, and Larry Gill, tailback. The records speak for themselves: Warde white- washed Bassick's Green and White to start the season with a high kick, 22-0. For the first time in our history we beat Darien's Blue Wave, 16-0. The Terebesi, A. Cepero. THIRD ROW: Z. Tackas, J. Hyde, J. Reed, B. Koleszar, J. Stefan, J. Vige, J. Moe, E. Tuska, D. Schempp, E. Shook, D. Hamin, J. Magdon, J. Reed, A. Motto, B. Lake, D. Larson, Coaches F. Tetreau and R. Dobelstein. Warde eleven continued the goose-egg string beat- ing Norwalk 12-0 in a hard fought contest and romping over Bullard Haven Tech's Tigers 32-0. Over-confidence, however, caused a slight let-down and the Staples team became the first to score against us, as they bowed 14--6. The Eagles recuper- ated quickly by overpowering New Canaan 16-0 and cross-town rival Ludlowe 26-O. The Crimson and White completed their first undefeated season by trouncing Stratford 22-12 and whipping Central in a thriller 15-6 after Jack Schneider kicked a de- cisive field goal, rarely seen in high school ball. Thanks to the determination of the boys, the pa- tience of the coaches, Fern Tetreau and Russ Do- belstein, and the support of the student body, Warde was able to win a C.I.A.C. Football award of merit to climax a great season.

The junior varsity team, coached by Robert ,lack- son and Robert Seirup, aims at developing individ- ual potential, rather than winning games. Thus, when there is a vacant spot on the varsity squad, a junior varsity player will be ready to step in and fill it. This year's team had a fair season, winning four out of nine games, with one tie. The first game was a hard-fought but scoreless contest with Darien. After the next three games, it seemed as if the ,lV's were emulating the varsity as they shut out Green- wich 22-0 and Norwalk I6-0. But they about-faced and lost to Danbury, New Canaan, Staples, Stam- ford, and Fairfield Prep. Victories over Joel Barlow and Ludlowe completed the season. Some of the boys who may be seen playing var- sity ball next year are Mike Antol, a sophomore center, Lou Cappucci, a sophomore guard, Ray Barske, a junior guard, Ray Blomdohl, a freshman fullback, Gary DuBoys, a freshman quarterback, Ed Dailey, a sophomore end, Bill Pekar, a sopho- more tailback, Roy Tripoli, a sophomore wing- back, and Carl Mutrynowski, a sophomore tackle. These boys will soon have a chance to prove them- selves, since ten of the starting eleven on the varsity team are graduating.
