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..
