ART BELLISIO BILL ASSIFF HERB BAUER JOHN LOCKYER Palanek's brilliant passing figured in all Tech scoring. Capt. Hill Assiil' blocked a Manual kick and set the stage lor the first touchdown. Palanek pitched a 30 yard pass to Herby Bauer. Carillo then picked up the necessary yardage for the TD. Palanek provided the extra point with an overhead thrust to Bauer. Later in the lirst quarter Lenny l,ucks set the stage lor some more arm exercise by Palanek when he recovered a lumble at midfield. Passes to Batter and DeMann covered most of the necessary yardage, then Palanek ran for the score. The next Tech totlchdown was the result of a pass from Palanek to -Iohn Lockyer. The last TD was again a Palanek pass but this time to Herby Bauer. Erasmus was Tech's next opponent. This game resulted in a 7-7 tie. a very disappointing game for us. Erasmus took the kickoll' and was marching toward the goal line, but this golden opportunity to score was frustrated by a fumble recovered by Herby Anson on the l2. That was just the break that Tech needed and the Engineers built up an 88 yard touchdown drive, that featured the running of Carillo, Lockyer, Chisera, and Palanek and the latter's passes to Bauer. Lockyer raced around end for the TD. Palanek passed to Batter for the extra point. The jellerson game was the last that Tech was going to win that season. and they won handily 435-0. The defending player were the stars of this en- counter. Lead by Arthur Bellisio, Herb Anson, Nelson Osa, Alex Pawlukiewicz and Stan Leonick they held -Iellerson to a net gain of l0 yards on the ground. As far as the otlense was concerned, Andy Chisera scored thrice. Ed Palanek set up two touchdowns with passes, the recipients ol' which were Bill Hlhite, and John Lockyer. Palanek ran for a score also. Verily . t y MR CIRILLO its s t .5 x 1 sisc it x Y Q . ' ff ' MR. MITKO 5

ASKINASI ED PALANEK HERB ANSON ALEX PAWLUKIEWICZ The inexperience of the Tech squad on the whole unfortunately resulted in the loss of several games, which deprived the Engineers of winning the borough title. There were seven members left from the pre-strike era: among them the co-captain of the '51 squad, XVilliam Assiff, who became captain when the ninth term rule came into effect. Tech became the hardest hit of all the high schools in the city because of this rule, losing all but three of the boys who had previous experience. Among those lost was our co-captain, Larry Scavoneg VValt Tomassolf, All City in lfl-ffl: and several others whose absence was felt during the campaign. There were several games which stood out in one's memory as the high points of the season. Manual, Tilden, and jefferson suffered reversals at the hands of the Engineer eleven. Having lost a pre-season encounter to Lincoln by the score of 18 f I3 when a Lincoln guard recovered a fumble in the end zone with a few minutes to play. Tech went on to defeat Tilden lhf-0. ln this game several Engineer scores were called back because of penalties. The key plan was a 27 yard aerial from quarterback Ed Palanek to his halfback -lohn Lockyer, which brought the pigskin to rest on the Tilden ll. On the play that registered for the Engineers. Bob lJClxlZll1ll leaped high into the air to take a pass in the end lone. An inter- cepted pass set up the second TD for the Blue and XVhite. Bill Assilf snared a Tilden pass on the Alt! and raced it back to the Tilden 26. Tech was pounding again on the door for another touchdown. Five plays later, Hank Carillo scored. The lflth point was added as the result of a pass from Ed Palanek to Herb Bauer. Tech then met Manual, whom we had to beat. Eddie Palanek passed Manual dizzy and as a consequence upset the favored Park Slopers, 2646. This win put Tech into first place in Brooklytrs l'.S.A.L. Division I. .y a fr 1331 i
