Mike McKeown races around end for one of Hayes' touchdowns against Brooklyn Prep. Wagga I2 guailga ?u46 79 An eager, loyal crowd traveled to Brooklyn for the opening game of the season but was disappointed at the outcome. The teams were evenly matched, but too many fumbles cost the Cardinals the game. A swift pass from Gagliano to Wright and an end-run by McKeown re- sulted in the two Hayes tallies. The fans were not disheartened, though, and looked forward to better things. W4Q646 Sz! A spirited team, determined to make up for the previous week's defeat, took to the field against an old rival.

A score early in the second half won the game for the Cardi- nals. 0 John Gaidzis is downed by two St. John's runners. Fred Rossetti is tackled after gaining a short distance for Hayes.
