GRIDIRON ACTIO A DHO ORS This was a great year for the Football Team as they pro- duced their second-best season in BHS history. Many excel- lent players contributed their efforts to making this year what it was, and some of these boys were honored by being selected to all-star teams: Third team All-State: Bob Carter, Bill Shaw. First team All-Conference: Bill Bechtold, Bob Carter, Bill Shaw. Photo by Paul johnson Above: End Bob Carter, a Senior, was a double threat this year: he did an outstanding job as a member of the defensive squad and proved himself a skillful man on offense as well. Here, he eludes several Red Devil defenders to pull in an aerial from Judge. At left: One of the many stars on the team this year and a big hope for next is Matt Judge, whose accurate arm saved the Bulldogs from many a tight situation. Shown dodging a Wilmington attacker, he prepares to get off a pass. Below: Fleet-footed halfback Steve Farrar breaks loose and turns a fast corner to evade would-be tacklers. Swift breaks by the likes of Farrar and Bill Bechtold combined with the forceful charges of runners like Walt Lips and the strong Brandywine line to make the BHS ground attack a major threat.

sv wslwldmw ,, -D 4'Viewing our win-loss record, this year was a very pleas- ing season, as we finished with a 6-2-1 record and a second place in the Conference. We had high hopes for the first- place title until we were hurt by key injuries, such as the loss of Walt Lips and Bob Knox. In general, the team this year was very coachable, hard Working, and talented. We expect to see several of our Seniors playing excellent college ball. Since we used a two-platoon system this season, we will have thirteen experienced lettermen returning to form the nucleus of next year's squad. Prospects are good, and we should have another winning season next yearf, --Coach Modica DAN SWEET Sweetie Quarterback l w l 1 I s

Under the able leadership of co-captains Dave Bailey and Dave Evans and the excellent direction of coaches Widdoes and Gilbert, the squad was juiced into easily vanquishing Friends, Christi- ana, Westtown,'and gaining harder-fought victories over St. Andrews, Sun Valley, and Great Valley. The Bulldogs downed all challengers from the state of Delaware as well as several from Pennsylvania. One of the season's highlights was a keenly contested battle with Ridley Township, recently the Pennsylvania State Champions. Both sides struggled valiantlyg but as the time ran out, they were still deadlocked in a 1-1 tie. Seniors Bailey, an outstanding goalie, Evans, an all- p around offensive rnang Bob Levering, a key fullbackg and exchange students Umur Kok and Roger Rivera will be missed next yearg but it is expected that their places will be ably filled by the host' of talented juniors who were an integral part of this yearis team. Above: Morrow and Evans chalk up another Bulldog mark. SEASON RECORD Varsity BHS Avon Grove BHS Sun Valley BHS Newark BHS Penncrest BHS Friends BHS Ridley Township BHS St. Andrews BHS Great Valley BHS Christiana The 1963 edition was the outstanding unit thus far in BHS Westtown the history of Brandywine High School. This should be a Jr. Varsity temporary comment appropriate for this year only, for BHS Sun Valley next year's statement should be a repetition of this. BHS Penncrest With the tremendous number of lettermen who will return BHS Friends next year, an even greater record is eyed for 1964-. --Coach Widdoes
