Nuff A Credit for this illustrious season must be given to the coaching staff, the student body, and lastly to the boys who gave all they had for the honor of Bronxville High School. Anyone who had the slight- est connection with this team will remember the fall of l954 and the record that was made. The Broncos amassed a total of two hundred twenty six points to break a school record that had stood for eleven years. Special recognition should be given to the boys who helped achieve this re- cord. Halfbacks Bill Conway and Stan Yasuda at- tained untold glory for themselves and for Bronx- ville. Yasuda was awarded the Con Edison Sports Award for his outstanding play. During the season Stan scored eighty three points to break a Bronx- ville record. Bill Conway was recognized through- out the county as a stellar performer, Andy Green, John O'Ryan, and Bill Trimble also stood out in the backfield. In the line such stalwarts as Rick Buckley, Robby Kirkland, Bob Bullock, Darwin Brown, Dick Budinger, Marc Beebe, Charlie Costa- bell, Dick Beltson and others contributed heavily to the Bronco efforts. Everyone on the team helped make the season a success. Following the Pelham game the team was hon- ored at the annual Football Dance in Gwinn Hall. The traditional cake-cutting ceremonies were con- ducted. This was a night to be remembered for it marked the closing of one of the greatest football seasons in the history of Bronxville High School. A few weeks later the team was feted at the Gramatan Hotel by the McGrath family. This was also a night long to be remembered. Although the book has been closed on the team of 1954, the memories gained will long be endeared in the minds of those who played a part of the story. Bronxville will long remember the spirit, the sportsmanship, and the record of the team of 1954. N. 2,4

The climax of the season came on Monday November 1 when the Broncos traveled to Tarry- town to play a postponed game with Washington Irving. Experts picked Bronxville as the underdog but the Bronco players had a different idea. En- couraged by the huge student body present, the Broncos simply outplayed and outclassed the Au- thors. When the final gun went off the Blue and Gray had won 14-0. Fullback Bill Trimble was the me hero of the day. He broke loose for many long gains and he played an excellent defensive game. Pete Jaeger and Bill Conway scored the touchdowns with Stan Yasuda adding both extra points. The intrepid Bronco defense provided the highlight of the day with a spectacular goal line stand in the last quar- ter.
