NORMAN REVOLINSKI Big, alert, aggressive, the Dons Center of Attraction, that's Senior 'Revo', Bosco's All-Conference cen- ter. The lead man on many a vital quarterback sneak and line plunges, Norm was the spearhead of the Don offense. Still, it was his defensive play that made him particularly brilliant. He was second choice on the All-Catholic conference eleven, DON IVIODIESKA Don played a bang-up game as the Dons' bucking fullback. He stood out on defense, blocking holes in the line, batting down enemy passes, and staggering the opponent's of- fensive before it could get under way. His season's play netted him a berth on the All-Catholic conference squad. Action shots in the Notre Dame, Marquette and Messmer games A

Varsity Football Although the football team's record Ctwo ties and six losses? was not an impressive one, our opponents will not forget the tremendous drive and fighting spirit of the Dons. The opener with Nathan Hale saw the Dons take an early first quarter lead only to have it tied in the third period. The final quarter remained scoreless and the game ended in a 6-6 deadlock. Starting slowly against Pius Xl the Dons came to life in the second half to tie up the contest, but the Popes managed to score once more as time was running out, and won 13-6. Battling a highly favored Hilltop eleven on even terms for three quarters the Don's defense weakened in the last five minutes as the boys from Marquette tallied twice to outscore the Green and Gold l9-6. The Angels from Racine came to town and un- leashed their terrific running and passing attack to smother the Dons 38-6. An expected non-conference breather with Green' dale turned into another defeat for the Dons, l9-7. After a scoreless first period the Greendale eleven tallied once in each of the remaining quarters to win easily. Swick scored on an end run for the Dons. Revolinski's stellar playing in the first half held the Messmer attack to a single touchdown, but the Bishops came roaring back in the second half to score twice whilst holding the Dons scoreless, win- ning l8-0. The underdog Dons forced the Eagles from Cathe- dral to come from behind twice to tie the Dons. The play of Captain Nikolaus at tackle and the passing combination of Dorlack to Rehorst were the Don highlights. On a brilliant sunny afternoon, the Green and Gold Dons battled the Red Wings of Notre Dame in a double homecoming football game before some 5,000 spectators at South Stadium. Tough, rugged old-time football marked the game from beginning to end, as the Red Wings snatched victory out of ap- parent defeat in the last thirty seconds. The field generalship of Van Bendegon on the Don touchdown march at the start of the second half was spectacular. The Dons lost this heartbreaker l3-7. Over the season, Revolinski at center and Niko- laus and Karpfinger on the forward line were out- standing for their rugged play. Rehorst and Kreuser at ends packed the Don scoring punch, with Dorlack doing the passing. The soph-junior backfield of Van Bendegon, Dorlack and Modieska performed excep- tionally well. Modjeska and Revolinski were picked on the All-Catholic conference sguad.

Freshmen Football The freshmen football squad under the expert direction of Coach Regent went through the season undefeated. In the five games played, they scored 56 points against the opposition, whilst limiting them to a scant two touchdowns. A big aggressive eleven with a great fighting spirit was the key to success for the freshmen. Although the entire squad is deserving of congratulations on their fine spirit and splen- did achievement, special mention must be given to several of the boys for outstanding service: Billy Rubin's blocking, Moose Worzala's and Sammy Samanos line- plunging, lack Kloza's field generalship and passing, and Eddie Zielski's pass reception. When these boys clicked together nothing could stop them as is shown by their sea- son's record. Great promise for the future is expected of this yearling crop already for the coming season with the varsity.
