i owed ,Slow QOL! eme in ecwon pfag Although Coach Bap Manzini's Bellmar Hurricanes were defeated in four of their nine sesaon games, they finally ended their season with a record of four wins, four losses, and one tie. Starting the season off, Bellmar absorbed a 14-6 loss from a revengeful Point Marion team. In their second encounter, the 'Canes were victorious over St. Vincent Prep of Latrobe by a margin of 25-12, with BClII11.11',S four backficldmen, Flenniken, Tollari, Klochak, and Melvin, all hitting the scoring column. ln the next two tussles, Bellmar fell to Bethel 31-0 and to West View by a 20-12 margin. The Hurricanes then caught fire and won three in a row. These were victories over Center- ville, Rostraver, and California. In these three games, Don Klochak, senior fullback, scored a total of eight touchdowns and one extra point. Then at South Union Stadium in Uniontown, the Bellmar boys met defeat at the hands of the North Union Rams. The score was 20-6. On November 6, the Hurricanes ended their season by way of a tie with a surprising Perry- opolis-Lower Tyrone team. XVith a few breaks, the 'Canes could have turned in at least three more victories. The Point Marion game found the Bellmar team loosely knit. In the West View encounter, the Indians took advantage of unalertness on Bellmar's part, scoring a TD by way of the old sleeper play which we know Coach Manzini will never forget. In the Perry game, a little dose of over-confidence allowed the game to end in a tie. All in all, the Bellmar team played a good brand of ball and with a few breaks, as previously mentioned, they could have turned in a few more wins. The 1952 team consisted of eight seniors. A rebuilding program will have to be done, but with the good sophomore representation on the team, Coach Manzini won,t have any trouble putting out a good team for the 1953 season. lfirst row qsittingj left to right: Don Klochak, Gib Coursin, Dick Smith, lugene Stanger, lfugene Melvin, Ronald Zeli.
