C.B.C. 46. . .EAST 0 Victory number six was a playful, 46-0 romp over punchless East. Morgan and McCarver teamed up for two long scoring passes that broke East's neck. Then, as usual, the gang rolled up points in the second half, as Soefker got three touchdowns, one on a 68-yard caper. C.B.C. 20 . . . TREADWELL 12 Next we went against Treadwell in what was for us a rather strange game. They led at halftime, John Guidi intercepted a pass, and we were penalized 145 yards and lost five fumbles. However, despite the fumbles and penalties, we still had enough to win, 20-12. Fracchia and Patton quickly rang up the de- ciding scores after halftime. C.B.C. 53...MESSICK 7 In game number eight, Messick made it close for half the game, but then the customary blitzkreig struck, and, as Walter Sewart might have said, we annihilated the opposition, for we scored five times through Panther errors. Messick tried, but the ramp- ant gang could not be checked, and the final score wound up 5347. C.B.C. 35...SOUTH SIDE 0 Now came South Side-previously unbeaten in nine contests, and priming for us. However, the team had a great night against South Side, holding them to 77 yards total, while we amassed 389, mostly with a devastating ground attack. Ernie Patton got 124 yards all by himself! He got two touchdowns, Fracchia two, Soefker and McCarver one each. Mac had a perfect night with his toe, getting five for five, and making the total 35-0. A tremendous effort, both by the team and the coaches. C.B.C. 7. . . CENTRAL 0 Game number ten was the annual Blind Game Classic against Central on Thanksgiving Day. The near-freezing weather caused fumbles to fall right and left, as it handicapped the teams' offense, but our!! solid defense held Central to 79 total yards, and that made the difference. Soefker plunged in from the four and McCarver converted for the only scores of the day in the close 7-0 victory.

C.B.C. 32. . . WHITEHAVEN 0 For our first game, we traveled down to White- haven and ran through a good Whitehaven team to the tune of 32-O. The backs were superb in amassing 395 yards behind a heads-up, ferocious line, that held Whitehaven to a mere 91 total yards, while taking advantage of every opportunity to set up our scores. On the whole it was a splendid opening victory in which 4-3 players saw action. C.B.C. 12 . . . CATHOLIC 7 ln game number two, a Sunday afternoon affair against George Canale and Company, winning took a maximum effort by the team, and they gave just that. Canale snatched off a Ray Saliba pass and went 83 yards to put Catholic ahead 7-0. Then, with only 31 seconds to go until halftime, Saliba passed to MacCarver, who, though covered, leaped high to make it 7-6. After stopping a Terrier push on our 28 in the last quarter, we took over and,drove slowly to the winning touchdown and a close 12-7 victory. C.B.C. 46. . . FRAYSER 0 Next we were off to Frayser in a wide open game that saw Bob Martin catch two long passes for touch- downs. Our free-wheeling attack, directed by Morgan and Saliba, exploded for touchdowns from all over the field as we won 46-0. Substitutes played almost half the game, and did just as fine a job as did the regulars against a rather weak Frayser team. C.B.C. 33 .. .M.B.A. 0 Outing number four was a trip up to Nashville to take on previously undefeated Montgomery Bell Academy. Our defense was again superb-in limiting M.B.A. to 105 yards and grabbing five errant passes, while the backs were sliding and slashing to five touchdowns. Mac got three for five to make the total 33-0. C.B.C. 32. . .HUMES 7 In our fifth game, we rolled on-this time over Humes to the count of 32 to 7. Mike Fracchia rambled for two first-period touchdowns that put Humes in a hole they never got out of. However, they did score, on a last down pass after the final buzzer had sounded.
