FLYING L’s, Gold Coast Conference Champs Raw, but ready. wore the words of Coach Bill Armstrong at the opening of the 1957 football season, with the L's matched against the Generals of Miami Jackson. The Flying L's were striving for another unblemished season. Since entering the Gold Coast Conference in 1955. the gridmen have brought the league trophy home every year. Starting the season was one of the finest back- fields in the state: halfback Walt Reed and work- horse fullback Ed Braddy, both nominees for All- State: Ted Anderson, the speedy boy who consist- ently got the L's out of tight spots: and quarterback Oave McMillin calling the plays and doing an out- standing job on defense. One of the biggest surprises was the Lauderdale line, which was supposed to be the L's weak spot but turned out to be a strong point. John Doel, flashy L center, and Tom Crawford, the golden- toed sophomore, were there on defense. At guard stations were Larry Centers and Bob Conness going both ways for the L's. Tackles were Dick Adams and Ron Hatcher, big men in the L's forward wall. On the flanks were Bill Markham and Jim Senko holding down the offense, with Ray Carson and Paul Wood- all. who recovered every fumble within reach. In the opener against Jackson, Walter Reed starred by making three spectacular TDs, while Ed Braddy and Pat Mulcahy each made one. The school record of conversions was tied when Tom Crawford, the team's only sophomore, kicked an extra point for every TD. Nearly 6,000 Key West fans and a 450-stronq contingent from Fort Lauderdale watched halfback Ted Anderson run 88 yards to score a touchdown for the L's. Fullback Eddie Braddy was the star of the second quarter, running for two TDs and con- necting on a 20-yard pass to Jim Senko. The L's Crawford completed three conversions out of seven to help make chowder out of the Conchs. A 17-game winning streak was ended by the North Miami Pioneers, who had specialized in trim- ming Gold Coast second raters, when they stunned Lauderdale fens by outscoring the L's. in a dose one. 7 to 6. Spirit was at its highest as the date of the Coral Gables game approached. The best pep assembly of the year was staged for this game, and shouts of Disable Gables were heard around campus. The L's played a magnificent game, and at the half the L's had made 11 first downs and Gables only two. Lauderdale was leading 13 to 6. Paul Woodall had scored the first TD, and McMillin caught a pass from Walt Reed to run for the second one. In the second half, however, the Cavaliers surged ahead and defeated the fighting L's 32 to 13. The Gables defeat was soon forgotten as the big game of the year was drawing nigh. At the annual Homecoming game, the L's were pitted against Miami Beach. To make it a perfect night for the Lauderdale fans, the Flying L's bounced back after losing to Gables, to champion over the Beach boys 14 to 6. Wrapping up the season in a traditional way with their traditional rivals on Thanksgiving night, the Flying L's played the South Broward Bulldogs there, in front of a crowd of 7,500 screaming fans. A foot (Tom Crawford's), a fullback (Eddie Braddy), and a fumbling foe added up to the Gold Coast Conference trophy for the Fort Lauderdale Hying L's as they downed the Bulldogs 14 to 13. in a game as thrilling as the dose score indicates. Crowds cheering, -.holers, pennants, and voodoo dolls »h® cheerleader end Spirit great the L's as they open the 1957 season. 203
