1956 Football Lack of depth, injuries to key players, and disap- pointments at key positions were causes of the Panth- ers' 1-8 record for the 1956 season, commented Coach Robert Bieber, who is looking forward to next year's team as he will have 10 retuming lettermen. The 1956 team, formed around a nucleus of six retuming lettennen, Jim Boot, Steve Candela, Dick Fassett, Gordon McBride, Dominic Volpone, was led by Captain Bob Gilchrist. In the preview game at Fairport, Sept. 7, the Panthers battled Riverside to a 6-6 tie. In the first regular game of the season, played at Bula Field on Sept. 14, the Conneaut Trojans out- played the Panthers in the second half to win 33-O. Conneaut went on, through the season, undefeated. On Sept. 21, the Panthers were blanked again, 33-O, this time by the Painesville Harvey Red Raid- ers who went on to an 8-1 season and the NEC championship. The Panthers travelled to Euclid Sept. 28, seeking a win over the Panthers of Euclid as they had done the previous year. A fired-up Euclid team suppressed 1956 FOOTBALL TEAM FIRST ROW: Jim Spellman.
