19 Page twenty Bill Andrus, and Bob Tredwell as halfbacks, and Bob Ennis, Don O'Brien, Bill Murphy, Pete Rounds, and Johnny Ander- son in the line. Horace Mann was off to a fast start with a goal in the opening minutes of play. BronXville's first goal came when Murphy headed a corner kick into the goal. In the second period, Pete Rounds scored the most unusual shot of the day when the ball hit one of the posts before going in. Possession of the ball shifted back and forth the remainder of the game until Bob Ennis bounced it off his chest making the final score 3-2. A little more than two weeks later the soccer squad jour- neyed down to Fieldston on Election Day to play its second game. A goal by Ennis and one by Anderson put Bronxville ahead in a close game which was played in competition with a football game being played on an adjacent field. The following Saturday morning, November eleventh, the boot- ers were victorious over Lafayette, New York, city cham- pions, in a close game played here at Bronxville. Rounds and Murphy each scored a goal making two games in a row won by 2-0. There was a fair amount of friction, and if it hadn't been for a couple of spectacular saves by Pete Bowers at the goal Bronxville might not have been in the winning column. The following week Bronxville overwhelmed Col- umbia Grammar 4-0 in a game in Central Park. In late November the Hackley School team, reinforced by members of their football team was here at Bronxville, Hackley got control of the ball and scored the opening goal, then in the second period the opponents scored again. Bronx- ville's prospects looked black indeed, until almost the half when fortune changed. Pete Rounds booted the ball off a fullback into the goalie's hands, and in throwing it out he stepped behind the line making it a goal for Bronxville. Then Murph scored on a long dribble and kick, and two more on long passes from Tredwell. Rounds and Anderson each booted one in to smash the scoring record with a 5-2 win. It might be said here that these games were not won by individual excellence, but by superior. team play on the part of the whole squad. As a parting farewell to -Mr. Richie the wording on a trophy presented to him by the soccer squad makes a fitting keynote to the whole season- To a great coach, in appreciation for effort and -achievement with the 1945 Soccer Squad . , After their success in football and soccer, the B.. H. S. students turned to the Big Gym, where anew season of bas- ketball was launched. ' During Christmas vacation Coach Matthaei-came up with some good material from our class. Returning lettermen were veterans Francis Hall, Joe Mason, Bob McGrath, and Bill McCleary. As well as Roger Borgeson, there were also some good junior combinations in Walter Pape, Don Chew, Charlie Dumont, and Eric Miller. Midway in the season McGrath was elected captain. The quintet got off to a good start by drubbing the Edison Tech five, 32-19, on the Techmen's court. Joe Mason came up with the individual scoring honors, totaling 17 points.

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.
