Gloom in August could have meant a disastrous season for Augusta. Informed that 1971's coach had resigned suddenly, Sgt. Joe Josephson was coerced into as- suming the leadership. Faced with few veterans, no “pro” PG’s, and with only 34 men from the ranks, Sgt. Joe gained help from Coach Dave Trimble and Ma- jor Merlyn Wright. “Do It!’ was the battle cry from the late start of early football practice up to the moment of entry onto Clay Bowl for an intra-squad game of Blue versus White. Attracting just as much interest as a varsity game, the corps came out to root for Trimble’s Blues or Wright's Whites. Controlling the ball at first, the White team was stunned with Tom Peifer’s in- terception of a pass on the 50 yard line. Peifer gave the ball to Danny Calabrese A NEAR TRIP doesn’t prevent Bodie Cook (21) from recovering and going all the way for a TD. Al Collins (23), Mal Livick (80) Bill Hammond (63) and Ed Dixon (40) protect Bodie. O 20— Football and later threw out to Chris Bowman for short yards. Peifer then belted a pass to Mal Livick at the 25. Al Collins evaded the Whites and carried to the one yard line. The old quarterback sneak came in handy for Tom Peifer who scored for the Blues. Confident then, the Blues called for a Calabrese carry for the two point tally. From then on, it was defense against offense. Twice the Whites had chances to score, but one was spoiled by an inter- ception and later by a goal line stand. But the Blues had won 8-0. When the Orangemen arrived from Woodberry Forest, the Streaks greeted them with plays that never went right. Taking advantage of the nervous plays, Woodberry scored early in the game and added two for aconversion. Just before the fourth quarter began, the Streaks perked up. A hand-off to Danny Calabrese made the difference. Calabrese streaked 35 yards for a TD. Quarterback Tom Peifer converted with Mal Livick on a pass to tie the score 8-8. The corps went wild. It was the first time since 1962 that WF had not left the field as victors. Hargrave won the toss in the next game, and decided to receive. AMA’s defense took over after a kick by Tom Peifer. Finally, HMA was forced to kick. Lindsay Sharpless unbelievably blocked it and then ran it back for a touchdown. When the second half began, Al Col- lins bulleted a TD pass to Bodie Cook. The play covered a total of 65 yards. A successful conversion and a Bodie Cook 95 yard run placed more points on the boards. Tom Peifer’s final two point run for conversion game the Streaks a 21-0 win. Accepting a quick handoff in the MMA game, Lindsay Sharpless started the 34-6 massacre with a 65 yard run. Bodie Cook scored and then ran 65 yards foraTD.
