JOHN NESTER JERRY MATCHO DON DAVIS BOB REYNOLDS ANDY WAGNER FOOTBALL I NICK LANNUTTI The 1955 Ewing Varsity football squad ended their season with a four win, three loss record. According to Coach John Housman, this was the first successful grid season in Ewing's history. In the Blue Devils' opener, the team took it on the chin from the Pennsbury Falcons by a 12-O count. In the following contest, the team took on a powerful Trenton High Squad, who came from behind to edge out the Blue and White, 14-13. The tide turned in the third contest of the season for the Blue Devils, when they tallied their first victory of the season by turning back Burlington by a 13-7 count. In the following contest of the slate, the team defeated Hamilton High, 19-7, to give Ewing High its first intra- city football victory in its history. The Blue and White managed to continue their winning spree in their next tilt, this time setting a new scoring record by romping over Matawan, 38-13. The following week the Blue Devils' winning streak came to an end when a powerful Bernards High team outscored the Blue and White by a 14-12 count. The squad ended their season by setting back the Princeton Little Tigers to the tune of 13-7. The squad lost five of their starters due to the '56 graduation. Nick Lannutti, Abe Vegotsky, and Jerry Matcho, who comprise three of these five starters, re- ceived an All-City position at the conclusion of the 1955 season. lNick and Jerry were also the team's co- captains.I The other starters were Don Davis, who did most of the team's quarterbacking, and Bob Reynolds, who saw a great deal of action at the end positions. John and Fred Nester both aided the Blue Devils in the backfield during the season, while Richard Bellando and Tom Glennon saw action off the line. Doing all of the punting for the squad was John Maddock, who also aided the squad as an offensive and defensive end. Forced to leave the team early in the season, due to a bad leg injury, was Andy Wagner, who held down a center position. AL FRED NESTER RICH BELLANDO 1 JOHN MADDOCK ABE VEGOTSKY TOM GLENNON
