Broncos finally counted in the second stanza when Dumont took Miller's spot pass to score. A minute later, Schuh intercepted a pass deep in Orange territory and tore twenty yards to tally. However, Tarrytown roared back in the second half with two touchdowns, and it was only in the fourth quarter that Miller's pass to Houston clinched the Grey's second victory. The next Saturday saw the Blue entertain Saunders Trade at Chambers Field, the Broncos taking the contest, 38-0. The Grey striking through the air and on the ground equally well, started in from the kickoff to hammer away at the Tradesmen, and they scored a few min- utes after the opening whistle when Milleris pass to Dumont clicked. After going off the field at half-time leading 18-0, the Broncos gained twenty more points when Schuh scored twice on an intercepted aerial and a fling from Miller. Belmer's forty-yard punt return com- pleted the Bronco scoring, 38-0, in their third victory. The Blue and Grey next played host to Al- bert Leonard of New Rochelle and, after a slow first half which saw Miller connect twice for touchdowns on aerials to Belmer and Schuh, finally broke loose as White, Belmer, and Hous- ton all scored in the third period. Tackle Dick Smith and Pete Stearns scored in the fourth stanza. Charlie Dumont's three extra points and one assist brought the Bronco total pointage to 46, a new season's record. Saturday, November 3, saw the Broncos en- tertain the big, highly-touted, contingent from Washington Irving. Determined to upset the Authors, the whole Bronco squad as well as the rest of the school was keyed to a fever pitch. W. I., after being outplayed throughout the first quarter, finally broke into the scoring on a deflected pass, but the Broncos surged back and tied it up at 7-7, as White took Schuh's pass and Dumont converted. Irving scored once more in the half on a pass play covering forty- five yards. The second half saw the Broncos trying desperately to score, while the Irving- men added six points to their total after they had been stopped three times on the one yard stripe. Although the game ended that way, 19-6, the tremendous crowd at Chambers Field had nothing but the utmost respect for the fine fight and aggressiveness shown by the Broncos, who seemed to be the better team throu hour 8 most of the contest. However, the Broncos bounced back the next Saturday when they downed East Rockaway, 26-13, on the Rockaway field. A new school in Bronxville interscholastic opposition, Rock- away put up a spirited fight before the superior forces of the Blue and Grey. Passes figured in all Bronco scoring as Schuh tossed to Dumont for the first score, Miller heaved to Houston, Houston tossed to Belmer, and Miller again winged, this time to Dumont. Charlie's two placements made the score 26-0, but Rockaway struck suddenly for two t. dfs, making the final count, 26-13. The season's last game saw the Broncos down their traditional Scarsdale rivals up at Scars- dale by 19-13. There were plenty of thrills all the way, and the Broncos scored on the first play of the game as Houston and Dumont con- nected for the tally. However, the Bronco root- ers hadn't even settled down when Feldman of the Maroon tallied for Scarsdale on a sixty-yard gallop. Both teams scored once more in the half, the Bronco tally coming on Miller's pass to Houston. Both teams also came out on the field, as the second half commenced, determined to ice up this all-important tilt. However, the Blue and Grey got their break when Dumont caught Milleris long aerial on the Maroon goal line. Although they were set back twenty yards in penalties, the Broncos scored the decisive six points as Miller passed to Stearns, who nego- tiated seven yards to tally. The Blue held on doggedly to their six point advantage, and White's interception of a Scarsdale fling clinched the game for Bronxville, 19-13. That night, Scarsdale presented the Broncos with the tro- phy, ending physical activities for the season of 1945. However, the season didn't come to an oflicial end until December 8th, the day on which the annual football dinner was given at the Grama- tan. Besides hearing Mr. Yott of the Down- town A.C., and Sleepy Jim Crowley of Notre Dame and Fordham fame, the boys were enter- tained by their own team members afterwards at the domicile of the Fred McGraths, sponsors of the affair.
