Seconds laler,' Parnell drove over lo score lhe exlra poinl, and Barnard ended oul in lronl. 7-O. Againsl our lradilional loe, Fieldslon. lhe Purple and While slruck paydirl early in lhe lirsl quarler. The exlra poinl. however, was nol good.

Our ioy lasled only a week, however, as in our nexl. and linal game ol lhe season we were badly bealen by Oakdale Mililary Academy. Early in lhe lirsl quarler lhe Purple and While were slopped dead on lhe one-yard line. Oak- dale drove us back, and was able lo score in lhe laller hall of lhe' lirsl quarler.

Much credil lor lhe success ol lhe leam musl be given lo lhe vicious lackling and oll-lackle plunges ol Pele Parnell, lhe heady signal calling and brillianl running ol Don Flinn. lhe sensational broken lield running ol scalback- Howie Frankel, lhe bull-dozing blocks and sweeping reverses ol Bill Drake. and lhe line pass-snaring ol caplain- elecl Herbie Thal. The lion's share ol lhe credil. however. should go lo Barnard's seven blocks ol granile whose lask il was lo clear lhe palh lor lhe speedy backs and lo slop opposing leams slone cold dead in lhe markel. Oulslanding in lhe line were: Bill Bruce, whose lerrilic line-backing broughl him All-Prep honors: Arl Israel and Dangerous Doug Trower, lwo hard charging, aggressive lackles, who broke lhrough opposing lines so consislenlly lhal lhey were ollen lhe lwo besl men in lhe opposing back- lield: Wee Wally Berch and Joe Schalfer, whose hard charging blocks and jarring lackles made lhem conslanl lerrors lo opposing backs, and lasl bul nol leasl, Jim While whose speclacular pass receiving. made him as dangerous on ollense as he has always been defensively.
