This years football team was spearheaded by a fine defense. Although the offense was adequate, the defense, led by Rick Duff and jack Calcaterra, bat- tered the opposition into submission. Employing an offense similar to the old reliable single wing, Coach Cochrane used T. D. Adams or Jack Carrick at tailback, Jack Calcaterra at fullback, Jim Brainard at quarterback, and Rick Duff at blocking back. Reviewing the season, Avons first game was a disap- pointment as the American School for the Deaf cap- italized on two breaks and shut out Avon 14 to 0. However, the next game on Parents Week-end, Avon bounced back and defeated Monson 14 to 6. After defeating Milford 20-0, Avon suffered its sec- ond defeat at the hands of an experienced Wil- braham team. Jim Brainard and Jack Calcaterra both scored a touchdown in the 26 to 14 defeat. The Hop- kins Grammar game was played to an 8 to 8 tie in a bitterly contested game played in severe weather conditions. The next week brought Avon the toughest game of the year. Good hard football, a characteristic of Avon's defense, caused a Kingswood fumble deep in their own territory which Rick Estabrook recovered. The Blue team followed the break by scoring a touch- down with Calcaterra going over for the score. Avon's defense dug in and stopped Kingswood's passing completely. Unable to move on the ground either, Kingswood succombed the final score being 6 to O. In the Hnal game against Cranwell, Avon finished up it's successful season by winning 14 to 6.

FIRST ROW.' Long, Finch, Papastoitsesg Barrett, VVardg Aziz, Lester. SECOND ROW: Mr. Mendellg Leith, Favorite, Hynson, Herstoneg Sherman, Holbyg Jones, R.g Frazer, P., Turner. The 1962 Soccer season was marked with pleasant surprises and marked disappointments. The talent was there but it just didngt have enough time to get together and coordinate as a team. Injuries were responsible for taking away a great deal of the good talent. The definite lack of depth made matters worse. Rick Ward and john Finch were in- jured early in the season. Then our co-captain Bob Leith broke his thumb. Throughout the season there were several more injured. The starting line up varied throughout the season but usually it consisted of these eleven men: Pokey Frazer was our very able goalie. The fullbacks were Lew Favorite and Robin Jones. These two lasted the whole season, both doing an excellent job protecting our goal. Our halfbacks were usually Roland Voor- hees, Dick Herstone and Lee Turner another, co- captain. Richard Ward, Abdul Aziz, Greg Papas- toitses, john Finch, and Timmy Long played Hrst line. The team closed its season with a record of two wins, nine losses, and two ties. Five of these were lost by just one point. Three of these losses were later in the season when we were hampered by in- juries. The teamls most exciting victory was the 3-2 win over Hopkins Grammar. Hopkins was given the op- portunity to tie the game up on a penalty kick with just 30 seconds remaining in the game. Pokey Frazer saved the game with a leaping dive to deflect the ball. This game showed our best winning effort. 110 '
