Under the direction of head coach, John Chanowski, and assistant coach, Michael Kushinka, the Redskins completed the 1954 season with a record of five wins and four defeats. Conrad opened the season against Millville, champions of their district in South Jersey and unbeaten the previous year. Losing 19-0 at half-time, Conrad held the powerful team to a 7-7 tie in the second half, the final score being 26-7. The Redskins' first home game was with Salesianum. Conrad led 7-6 at half- time, but was unable to stop Sallies' powerful second half attack. The final score was Salesianum 19, Conrad 7. Our first victory was recorded in the third game when we trounced A.I. du- Pont's Tigers, 32-O. The outstanding play of the game occurred when guard, Jack Covert, intercepted an A.I. pass and raced 75 yards for a touchdown. The Redskins won their second straight by scalping Claymont 39-O. The game was marred by the loss of Lee Stafford, Conrad's fine defensive end, who suf- fered a broken arm. By downing the P.S. duPont Dynamiters 26-6, Conrad increased its winning streak. Bill Miller led the Redskin attack with two touchdowns. In the sixth game of the season, Wilmington High's Red Devils invaded Urie Stadium for The Game of the Week. Wilmington's Jim Henry, all-state half- back scored five touchdowns to off-set the fine play of John Narvel, Bill Miller, and Jim Hackman. The final score was Wilmington 39, Conrad 21. The Redskins bounced back by defeating a strong Howard High eleven, 20- 14. A great defensive stand by the Redskins in the closing minutes preserved a victory. Halfback Bill Miller scored three touchdowns to break Conrad's individual scoring record for one season as Conrad defeated Mt. Pleasant, 27-7. The other tally was made by Jim Hackman. Newark defeated the Redskins in the annual Thanksgiving Day classic by a score of 20-0 as 19 Conrad seniors played their final high school game. Conrad. .,.....
