BEAVER - 27 NORTH ALLEGHENY - 7 With 1963's seventh victory, this time over North Allegheny, the Bobcats held the current state record for consecutive victories at 25. No other Beaver team had ever set such a mark, and the 'Cats, trailing 6-0 in the first period, came back with four TD's in the next three periods to win. Bob Culley scored one 6-pointer on a 10 yard drive carrying five Tiger tacklers into the end zone and Bell, Ammon, and Chimley each tallied once for the Bobcats. BEAVER - 14 MONACA - 19 The less said about the Monaco game the better as the Berdellmen lost their first ball game since November, 1960. A 14-6 halftime margin was not enough to subdue the Indians and Mon- aca crossed into paydirt twice in the final two quarters. The streak was ended, the tension was broken but Beaver High was not the same for many a day. All the 'Cats could say was the next week they would have to start another skein of victories by claiming the Bucket from Rochy. BEAVER - 20 ROCHESTER - 0 With quarterback Denny Hromika hospital- ized by iniuries sustained in the Monaca game and C. Grad functioning only on defense, the Bucket hopes rested with Charlie Bell and Bill Chimley. Bill Phillips quarterbacked the 'Cats, replacing the ailing Hromika and the combina- tion of Phillips, Bell and Chimley netted all the Bobcats' points. The hard-nosed Beaver de- fense-Trent, Kearney, Hamilton and Grad in particular-held the Rams to 15 yards on the ground and less than 10 yards total. The Bucket was ours for the third straight year and coach John Berdell's squad had completed another fine season.

BEAVER - 7 HOPEWELL - 0 Charlie Bell cmd the defensive line could be credited with the 'Cats fourth straight win. C. Bell scored the game's only touchdown on a 4th and goal situation from four yards out, and saved the game in the fourth period with a key interception on the Beaver goal line. The 'Cats' line held the vaunted Hopewell rushers to 'I30 yards as Bell and Hromika covered the defensive backfield. Beaverites among the 7500 fans who watched the game in Aliquippa stadium went home that night aware that the 'Cats were really on the move. BEAVER - 27 FREEDOM - 0 The 'Cats entertained Freedom's Bulldogs at home and easily racked up the third of four shut- outs in '63. Ferocious blocking by the linemen once again sprung Beaver's halfbacks loose on long-gainers. Bell picked up 85 yards, but the scoring was left to Hromika, Ammon, Chimley, and Mel Rose, each of whom tallied once. Mean- while the 'Cats' defense snagged three Freedom aerials and recovered a pair of fumbles to thwart every Bulldog drive. BEAVER - 19 NEW BRIGHTON - 0 Brighton was next on the list for the Berdell- men and they proceeded to pound out a 19-O win over the hapless Lions. The Beaver line shredded the Lion defense, opening huge holes for Bell, Grad, and Ammon. A 46 yard pass to Bill Chimley set up the first touchdown and Bell rolled 37 yards on a trap play in the fourth per- iod for another 6 points. The Lion rushers could get but 45 yards and the Bobcats allowed the Lions only 2 completions in the game. On Mon- day the signs read Let's go 24-O.
