lop trick knees, recruits turn out to be too light or too small, the breaks just don't come and it all adds up to an unsuccessful season. But that's only one side of the picture. A lot of things happen in a ball game which scores and statistics fail to picture in their true light. ' There were a host of thrills and innumerable incidents to make any Centralifan proud of the boys who wore the Red and Blue. At times, both team and individual play were superbg there were moments indeed which helped to make up for the scores which found us on the short end. REMEMBER .... hard-charging CAPTAIN MILES MORAN. Miles was in there pile-driving in every game but really played his heart out in the Methuen deadlock, picking up most of Central's yardage .... rugged NEIL T VVOMEY, mainstay of the left side of the forward wall. Neil was one rea- son why we were the first team to score against Keith Academy .... wiry CLAUDE ST. LAURENT who handled some pretty big men coming a- round his left flank. Always a hard worker, Claude exmplifies guts . . ..Quarterhack JOE HACKNEY who, despite his troubles with injuries, managed to spark the boys on more than one occasion .... Quarterback JOE MESSINA, a great blocker and a smart field general, though it was his :first year on the squad .... GENE CHAMPAGNE, a sterling guard with two seasons of experience, who had to sit out part of the season with a shoulder injury. But brother! when Gene was in there!!! .... ROLAND ST. PIERRE who did such a man-sized job at center in his first year in that position. Saint was converted from a guard position .... DI-CK Mr'. Augustine Hanley, Coach Brother .lom-mes
