Max Krugle is about to be brought down after @ Six yard gain against Plum. 128 The Burrell Bucs began their first season of varsity football on a hot, humid, and sunny Saturday afternoon on September tenth. Under the leadership of Coach Eugene Urbanski and his assistants, Frank Solomond, Eugene Bacha, and James Collins a scrappy green gridiron unit was produced which took the field with only junior varsity experience, The determined Bucs found the going a little too tough against stronger and more experienced teams, Stinging from four straight scoreless losses, the Bucs came through with its first touchdown against a shocked Tarentum Redcat squad with Jeff Johasky scoring from the twelve yard line, The Bucs witnessed another touchdown from a sensational drive in seven plays led by an outstanding per- formance from freshman halfback John Suvoy. Team injuries along with the lack of the Bucs offense to get rolling terminated the season with a 0-9 record.
