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 1954 Bronco soccer squad showed great promise for years to come. The record showed four wins against three setbacks and two ties. This re- cord in no way indicates the spirit, sportsmanship, and team play of the squad. Coach john Murray drilled the thirty man squad for the rough season. Returning lettermen Bob Parman, joe Collins, Tony Harwood, Fran Fot- tier, and jim Carroll formed a nucleus along with Freed!-Iutto, Ed Doherty, John Branigan, Heyw ard Turner, and Bing O'Brien. F. E. Bellows, making their debut in interschol- astic soccer, defeated the Broncos 1-0 in the first en- counter of the year. It was an impressive win for the Bellows squad. The first Bronxville victory came against Ir- ving in the second game of the year. Dick Hems- ley scored three goals to lead the Broncos to a 6-1 victory. Carroll, Haw, and Turner scored the other goals. Bing O'Brien and Captain Joe Collins played well on defense. a On Columbus Day, the Broncos opposed Os- sining at Chambers Field. ln the sweltering heat, the two teams battled to a scoreless tie.
