On Saturday, October 9, at Hamden High field, the Hamden Hall team scored a smashing victory over Milford Prep 72 to 0. The first score was pushed across with just two minutes gone in the first quarter as Glen Furbish swept right end from twenty yards out. Although the Milford team had some good interference on their plays, they could not stop the hard-charging Hamden Hall line of jim Cave, Pete Fiskio, and Alan Wright. At the half the players from Hamden Hall had piled up a score of 31 points to Milford's 0. During the second half, the reserves playing most of the time, Milford could not stop these yet-to-be-denied Hamden Hallers. In the second half Hamden Hall went on to score another 31 points paced by Ray Blakeslee, hard-charging back, and jim McKinster, an able back. At the end of the game the weary Milford team found itself on the short end of a 72 to 0 score. High scorers were Ray Blakeslee with 4 touchdowns, Glen Furbish with 3, and Pete Fiskio with 2. At Guilford, on October I3, the varsity football team took in its stride the powerful, well-drilled, blue and white of Guilford. After a fairly hard-fought first quarter, Ray Blalceslee swept left end from forty yards out to make the score 6 to 0. In the second quar- ter Pete Fiskio scored on a pass from Glen Furbish, giving the green and gold a I2 to 0 lead. The second half was fought mostly on even terms with the exception of a pass from Ray Blakeslee to jim Cave for the third and final Hamden Hall touchdown.

Hamden Hall's varsity suffered its first defeat by a score of 38 to 32 at Madison on November 5. Though outweighed 20 to 30 pounds a man, our boys put up a splendid battle. Madison on the first play of the game recovered a Hamden Hall fumble and promptly scored. Although we scored 12 points in the first half, it wasn't enough to equal Madison's 32. Inspired in the second half, Hamden Hall went back and scored 20 points to Madison's 6. In the final moments of the game, with darkness falling and fog covering the field, Furbish threw a pass to Fiskio for a gain of thirty yards, but five yards short of the goal. Thus the game ended-Madison 38, Hamden Hall 32. Outstanding scorers for Hamden Hall were Ray Blakeslee, with 4 touchdowns to his credit, and Fiskio, Cave, Wright, Edwards, Sleeper, and McKinster, who completed the line. At Milford on November 13th, the Hamden Hall varsity defeated Milford Prep 77 to 0. Again our varsity achieved a smashing victory. Paced by Blakeslee, Edwards, and Furbish in the backfield, and Cave, Wright, and Fiskio in the line, touchdown after touch- down was scored. The score at the half was 42-0. During the second half the second string played most of the time, piling up thirty more points. High scorer was Edwards with 3 touchdowns, followed by Fiskio and Furbish with two, and Blakeslee, Cave, and Sleeper each with one. Extra points were scored by Fiskio and Hall, who scored 6 each.
