After the Dunbarians recovered a bad punt on the opponents' own 40 yard line, Bunker put the ball on the 30. In three plays the crowd saw Bob Foley eat up enough yardage to put the ball on the 3, where Dick Dauksys plunged over on a quarterback sneak to put D.H.S. out in front 6-0. The third period saw English score on a lucky break and to lead 7-6. That was to be about all for English, for again Foley took the ball and on 3 plays scored from 30 yards out. An insurance TD was made by Dick Dauksys, who from 10 yards out swept his right end and barreled over for his second tally of the game. McGhee made the conversion and the final score was D.H.S. 18, Eng- list 7. Keymen on defense were Co-Capt. Gotauco, McClintock, and Costello. A capacity crowd saw D.H.S. blank undermanned Roxbury Memorial 27-0. In the first half of the game there was no score because of the stubborn ground re- sistance ofthe underdog Memorial. The third quarter saw better play as Bunker threw to Costello, who made a circus catch in the end zone. D.H.S., two plays after receiving a punt from their rival, sent Bob Foley on his way. Bob, from 20 yards out, shook loose from the second- ary and eluded the Memorial pursuer. In the fourth period, after battering the weary Memorial line, Fuller scored from one yard out. The final touchdown of the season was made as Dick Dauksys on an option play kept the ball and lunged over from 6 yards out. The 1957 Season showed D.H.S. util- ized its speedy backfield and powerful line in the capturing of the City Cham- pionship. Dick Dauksys Dauksys-the hard way! In the seventh game of the series Dorchester came from behind in the last four minutes in a thriller to score a 19-14 win over B.C. High at White Stadium. D.H.S. led at halftime 7-0 on Dick Dauksys' touch- down in the second period. The third period saw Bunker completing a 43 yard bullet-like pass to Foley, who sprinted into the end zone un- divided. To the dislike of D.H.S., B.C. High scored 2 touchdowns in this'period to put them ahead 14-13. But the spirit and drive of our team did not falter, with four minutes left in the last period, Bunker jetted 35 yards over left tackle to score the final touchdown and put the game on ice for Dorchester. In the next game the Red and Black did it again. A highly favored Latin team was upset by a small but powerful antagonist. Statiscally and by way of score D.H.S. utterly demolished the high-spirited Latins. D.H.S. shed blood early in the middle of the second period but retaliated with a 23 yard pass play from Bunker to Chico Gotauco, putting the ball on the 3. Dauksys bulled over to tie the score. McGhee's golden toe made the placement and put D.H.S. ahead. In the second half D.H.S. fought harder and more valiantly to keep its 7-6 lead. Larry McGinnis, Barney Foleyf' Jack Mad- en, and Paul Rennie played a commendable part on the defense, their effort and stamina was a key factor in the outcome of this game. A 34 yard-Dauksys-to- Chico -pass clicked to put the ball on the Latin 16. Charlie Bunker took the ball from there, and on the second play he sprinted unaided for the second TD again. McGhee was called to the scene to boost the score 14-6. 75 Bunker-Almost alone!

Foley-off to the races! The first league game took place under the lights against a powerful Tech. team. D.H.S. fought hard and paced the Technicians to a 6-0 lead with an eye-catching run by Barney Foley. The boys in the second half, because of lack of substitutes, saw two touchdowns scored against them. The final score, 13-6, was not a defeat, for it served to spur the team to work and play harder. The men from Dunbar superbly conquered a weak Trade team by trouncing them 31-7. Charlie Bunker, the outstanding player of this game, ran for two touchdowns and threw to Beggan for another. Dick Dauksys, on a quarterback sneak, plunged over from the 4. Bob Foley on a power play raced off right tackle for the final touch- down. McGhee made the conversion. Gotauco-on his way! 74 After a victorious season in 1956, Head Coach Jerry Buckley wondered if he could do as well in 1957 minus five of the start- ing linemen. With the aid of new Assistant Coach Frank Tracy, Buzzy Allen fformerly of the University of Mass.j and the team,s veteran backfield, the school watched with interest the 1957 football season. In a pre-season encounter at White Stadium, the- backfield got a chance to show their running ability by shutting out Jamaica Plain 12-0 in the Jamboree. Passing Whiz', Bunker scored off left tackle early in the first period with a run of 25 yards. Foley in the second period plunged off left guard and raced 33 yards for the second touchdown. A ilu-ridden Dorchester team defeated Hyde Park in a see-saw game, which gave some of the inexperienced players a chance to show their skill. After a score- less first period, Bunker, early in the second, hurled a perfect strike to Beggan, who ran the distance to post a 6-0 lead. Passing Whiz Bunker again connected to his other end, Livingstone, who boosted the score to 12-7. McGhee made the con- version. In the fourth quarter with sec- onds left to play Dick Brooks took the ball from the 5 and scored standing up. At this point in the game the score was tied 19-19. McGhee kicked the ball through the uprights and put D.H.S. ahead 20-19. Although Foley did not score, his keen blocking on offense and hard tackling on defense was a key factor in the outcome of the game. D.H.S.,sparked by the 4 Dorchees,' next played in sub-freezing weather under the lights, an optimistic English squad.
