George to Mack: Look at that line Good Luck FOOTBALL When Coaches Charles C. O'Keefe and Robert Hayden, jr., issued a call for footballers early last autumn, they .were greeted by a host of green, inexperienced gridiron aspirants. Realizing that experience is the key to success in athletics, much was done by the coaches to build the nucleus of the team around such veterans as Phil McManus, All-Narry Ted Bigos, Don Heap, and George LeClair. The eagerness and courage shown by this year's team was outstanding and each and every candidate did his utmost to whip himself into shape and to prepare himself to withstand the rigors of a diflicult and strenuous schedule. All this enthusiasm and effort, however, was not enough to conquer the overwhelming odds that our football representatives faced on each successive Satur- day, and the team was a victim of defeat five times without once tasting victory. Even though the season could not be described as a successful one in athletic language, yet the leadership, determination, and will to win was never missing amongst this group of gallant Dimanites. Honorable mentions should be distributed amongst such stalwart seniors as Leo Estrella, Bob Rioux, Ed Martin, Fred Louro, Tony Rogers, Roger Costa, Phil McManus, Mel Menard, and George LeClair who through their matureness and ability guided the team at times when bewilderment and confusion seemed close at hand, Ted Bigos, All-Narry Going Somewhere! George steals the show
