Austin 32 vs. Salesian 0 September 21, 1958 The Friar's opened their 1958 season on September 21 by trouncing Salesian 32-0. The varsity showed good class with Ken Scherer scoring two fiery touch- downs and Dan LaVerdiere and Jerry Finazzo scoring one apiece. Dave Miller also picked off an enemy aerial and ran the yardage to paydirt. Bob Miller and Ken Scherer converted the only extra points. Austin 7 vs. Notre Dame 6 September 26, 1958 The Black and White made it two in a row by overpowering the fighting lrish of Notre Dame, 7-6, on September 26. The Friars got their revenge on last year's defeat when Dan LaVerdiere scored the touchdown and Ken Scherer scored the extra point to win the ballgame. The team's effort coupled with our strong bench proved too strong for Notre Dame and they were downed by the boys who knew what football is all about. The Friars looked very impressive and the spirit was running high to defeat the Cubs the following Sunday. Austin 0 vs. U. of D. High 20 October 5, 1958 On October 5, the Friars suffered their only defeat by falling to the Cubs of U. of D. High 20-0. Although the Friars played a good game and had hopes of beating the Cubs they were defeated by the fired-up U. of D. High squad. The Friars got within scoring range several times but were not able to push the ball over for a score.

Austin 13 vs. St. Joseph 0 October 12, 1958 The Austin gridders rebounded from their previous defeat by the Cubs with a sound defeat over the Blue Jays of St. Joseph, 13-0 on October 12. The Friars looked good on defense and offense and seemed to do everything according to the way Coach Flood wanted them too. Paul Zosel and the team showed they could do it as well as the pros when he threw a pass to Dave Miller on a fourth down situation to score a touchdown. Jerry Finazzo scored the other touchdown and Dan LaVerdiere scored the extra point. Austin 7 vs. De La Salle 6 October 19, 1958 The Friars again made it two in a row by handing the Pilots of De La Salle a 7-6 defeat on October 19. There was a spirit of fight in the air and the Black and White seemed to do just that by de- feating La Salle for the first time in our school's record. It was a team effort and it proved a success when Dan La Verdiere followed the hard-charging line over to paydirt for the game-winning extra point on Ken Scherer's touchdown. Austin 26 vs. Cathedral 14 November 2, 1958 November 2, marked the last day that the gallant seniors of Austin's football squad would play on high school turf. The Friars poured on the fire and de- feated Cathedral Central 26-14. Dan LaVerdiere combined with Terry Brouil- lard for a couple of aerials that proved to be the game's winning touchdowns. Ken Scherer and Bob Miller scored the other touchdowns with Tom Blow going for the extra point. The Austin seniors played a tremendous season and brought our school its finest football record of five wins and one loss. .,,,.!, .
