Wh'fffd0Y h kY0 ego ga C.B.A. O N.Y.M.A. 19 Oh no! was the cry as the Brothers met an un- derrated team and were badly beaten. In the swamp caused by torrential rain of the previous three days our unblemished streak ended. For some reason the Brothers just couldn't get up a head of steam after the quick TD made by N.Y.M.A. after the opening kick-off. The team headed back to Albany unhappy but determined that it wasn't going to lose the next big game with Albany High. C.B.A. 19 V.I. 12 We went and did it!!! Our arch rivals went down after a short-lived fight. After two shocking TD's by alert V.I. backs our team finally got dug- in. just before the end of the first half R. Delahoyd recovered a fumble and battled his way up to the one yard lineg on the next play he bulled over for the score. Another recovered fumble set up a Cary to Lin- demann pass play and then Delahoyd scored to tie up the game. Then as the rain and cold wind battered onto the already wet cold field, S. Lindemann charged on twisting, churning from the 14 yard line for the game winning tally. C.B.A. N.Y.IVl.A c 19 vlll

c LASALLE Where is the Ball? C.B.A. 0 LaSalle 0 In this crucial game against unbeaten LaSalle the Brothers just couldn't get across safely. Halfback B. Carey was the big gun for C.B.A. as his frequent long runs kept the Brothers within range of that goal line. Those broad shoulders and hefty builds of T. Barton, B. Buckhoff, J. Munkwitz, J. Ruth and J. Cozzolino proved to be the stopper to all offers of LaSalle. T. Connery seemed a backneid wizard as he blocked, intercepted and generally proved a nuisance to LaSalle's passing game. 111 Z Ja x :gilt . H J w'4rm.vLZ .

C.B.A. 31 Albany High 13 As the minutes of our '59 season ended we were crushing the Albany High team. A quick opening TD by the opposition was the spark which set the C.B.A. machine into action. The Brothers marched up the field 62 yards before S. Lindemann raced over to score. F. Leigh stole the show by his spectacular broken field runs and final 5 yard sprint to paydirt. D. Willingham's vicious tackles stymied the Albany High attack and the Line of T. Barton, who that day closed his fine C.B.A. career of 4 years, B. Buckhoff, J. Munkwitz, J. Ruth, and J. Cozzolino to mention closed shop for Albany. B. Cary made a remarkable run as he scooped up a fumble and sprinted 73 yards for a TD. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. 113 c 31 ALBANY HIGH 13
