tain Mays and McGrath, which saved the day. Bob re- covered a Saunder's fumble for a touchdown early in the second quarter, which proved to be the only score of the day. For the fifth contest of the season against Albert Leon- ard, we all trouped over to the Isaac Young H. S. Field in New Rochelle. Two right tackles did all the scoring in this game. In the second period, Andy Dietrich fell on a blocked Leonard punt for the first score. Late in the game Bobby McGrath scored his third touchdown of the year by recover- ing a fumbled kick. Mason and Flack acted as captains. The next Saturday was a sad one for B. H. S. The here- tofore unbeaten Bronxville came up against a very strong Washington Irving eleven, and despite the determined fight of the Blue and Gray, the opponents won, 19-0. The Broncos, ably led by Joe Corr, were within inches of the game-tying touchdown set up by an end-around pass from Houston to Dumont when the first half ended. After an absence of three games, the team returned to the home field. A large crowd turned out to watch as the Broncos, captained by Bob McGrath, fought a heavy North Tarrytown team to a 6-6 tie. The locals came back in the second half with a touchdown by Miller to tie up the score, but the kick was blocked. On Friday, November 17, the Redmen from up North gave us a licking. Paced by their captain, Bob Jones, who scored twice and passed for a third touchdown, Scarsdale was never behind. The plucky Broncos, captained by Jack Kent and minus the services of Vic Mays, fought hard all the way, but the boys from Scarsdale behind Jones played inspired football. The Maroonmen pushed over two quick touch- downs in the first quarter before the Broncos could settle down. Soon after, two passes from Miller to Houston, and an end-around play by Houston, gave the Broncos their only score of the afternoon. From then on we threatened several times, but Scarsdale's defense held in the pinches, and finally on a long pass they made their third touchdown. The final score: BHS 7, SHS 18. McGrath, who suffered a head in- jury in the game, and Houston were the big guns in the Broncos' defenseand offense respectively. l l l Mr. Richie's last year as coach of a Bronxville soccer squad was crowned with overwhelming success. The soccer squad completed a tough schedule undefeated, and ended by smashing the scoring record with a final win over Riverdale. The high morale and fine team spirit were the outstanding reasons for this season's accomplishments. With the departure of five varsity players, Mortlock, Kil- by, Weed, Wurster, and Taubeneck, plus a schedule of six tough games, there was little thought of an undefeated sea- son when the team first assembled in September. Despite the loss of the former regulars, the team was off to a very active start. With the return of all the remaining varsity men from the preceding season, and the arrival of several promising newcomers, the squad was out practicing and scrimmaging every afternoon for nearly a month before the advent of the first game on the twentieth of October against Horace Mann. The starting team found Barton Bryan as goalie, Jerry Hiner and Gilbert Bryan at fullback, Bob Neall, I I I Victory Parade . . . The Line-up . . . Donyt push! . . . VVho dropped the dime? . . .
