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.
