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. .,,,.!, .

Austin 7 vs. Salesian 13 September 22, 1958 In the Black and Whites' opening game they failed to get their offense going. The game was marked by costly fumbles that gave the Green Hornets a 13-0 lead at halftime. Our only marker came in the 3rd quarter with Debbaudt dropping on a fumble in the Salesian end zone. Austin 12 vs. Notre Dame 0 September 29, 1958 The Friars continued their victory string by beating back the Irish in a de- fensive battle. The Black and Whites' first score came with Stanley's plunge to give Austin a 6-0 halftime lead. In the third quarter Salkowski broke out for a final score. Austin 25 vs. U. of D. High 6 October 6, 1958 The Black and White turned in their best game of the year in completely dominating the game offensively and de- fensively. Smith hit for T.Ds in the 2nd and 3rd quarters to give us a lead at half- time. The junior Friars didn't stop there with Stanley going over in the 3rd quarter. Austin 6 vs. St. Joseph 13 October 13, 1958 Hard luck hit the junior Friars when they were edged by the hard charging Bluejays. Stewart's T.D. was not enough and Austin trailed 7-6 at halftime. Friar's drives in the second half were cut short by costly errors. Austin 0 vs. De La Salle 12 October 20, 1958 The slumping junior Friars dropped their 2nd game in a row. A leaky de- fense and punchless offense were Austin's downfall. Anew rebirth of spirit was forth coming after this game. Austin 14 vs. Assumption 13 October 23, 1958 In a traditionally hard fought game the fighting Friars with fine team effort made a complete comeback from the previous week. Stanley cracked the chalk line in the 2nd quarter for a T.D. twice for a 14-6 halftime lead. The Black and White rode out a late game attempt to rally. Austin 7 vs. Cathedral Central 13 October 27, 1958 In a heart breaker the Friars dropped their fourth game. With Salkowski hitting in the first quarter for only one score. The 7-7 halftime count extended late into the fourth quarter. With seven seconds left the Wildcats scored on a desperation pass for the winning margin. .aazv-.ir
