City Champs! FOOTBALL The year 1959 was a highly successful one for the Bulkeley High Football team. Coaches Ed Korisky and Felix Karsky guided their charges to the second best record in school history. With thirteen lettermen dotting the picture, experts tabbed Bulkeley as a team to watch. The Third Annual Capitol City Jamboree served as the unveiling of the Seambusters and of their counterparts, the Stampeders. Through- out this exhibition the Bulldogs were content with just getting a good workout. Their play was lackadaisical, spotty, and nowhere near their ability. This could be traced partly to the ab- sence of Coach Karsky, who was in the hospital recovering from an appendectomy. Two weeks later in Norwich the season opened and the boys began to play for 'keeps. Behind the rugged Stampede line our rugged Tiger Backs clawed, fought, and drove their way to eat upi' valuable yardage. Meanwhile the Seam- busters resembled uuncaged lions as they beat the Wfildcats into oblivion. Individuals such as tenacious Mark Buonome, panther-like Paul Ucello, young Merrill Yavinsky, who was the author of a fine 60 yard T.D. scamper, and tough Tommy Sonnone, who personally ac- counted for 22 markers, made the long hike back home an enjoyable one. Only an injury to tackle John Pagnoni marred this auspicious 28-6 beginning. Game number two - or, should 1 say, con- quest number two - was East Hartford. Hardly was the crowd settled, when Bay Cuntulis was off to pay dirt. The hard hitting junior, behind picturesque blocking, galloped 61 yards on the third play of the encounter. A Balesano-to- Buonome pass was good for the extra points and the Bulldogs quickly led 8-0. Throughout the rest of the half, the Stampeders L'rumbled fre- quently, but were never able to break loose completely. Kicking off to start the second half, the Hornets quickly lost their sting as Bobby Ruff Roffalo celebrated his return to the line- up by taking the kickoff and prancing 86 yards with it for the score. As the Seambusters took over, the misery gentlemen rocked the E.H.H.S. single wing unmercifully. Consequently, the Hornets had to revert to plays that havenit been used since the turn of the century. Only a punt return in the waning thirty seconds saved the boys from over east from a complete loss of face as they went down to defeat 14-6. Outstand- ing afternoons were had by Pete Dengenis, a bone crushing blocker, Zig Pabich, a rugged linebacker, and, of course, Big Boy Bay Guntulis. 4'Turn the Tables, echoed Ed Korisky. Hit to Hurt, chanted Felix Karsky. 4'We gotta win, repeated the students. For this was the traditional slugfest with arch-rival Hartford High. The Bulldogs scored twice in the space of two minutes to ice the decision early. This rampage came early in the second period. Con- sistent barrages at the Owl line netted huge chunks of turf until finally Hay Guntulis blasted in for the six points. A jarring tackle by Paul Uccello on the ensuing kick-off caused a fumble which ever-elert co-captain Buonome plucked out of the air and returned to the H.P.H.S. four-yard line. But here the Bulldogs fumbled the ball away at the one, only to have Pete Dengenis block a Hartford punt, and once again ujohnny on the spot Buonome pounced on the ball, but this time his alertness was worth six points. Talk about exciting football! In the sec- ond half, two H.P.H.S. passes were good for scores, but overall the Maroon dominated play to win a much cherished 14-12 tilt. Bulkeley 40 - Wilbur Cross 16. What an ex- hibition! The power, speed, deception, and foot- ball know-how of the Koriskymen really showed in this one. Terrible Tom', Sonnone plowed across the line four times on runs of 13, 1, 11,
