Having tcn of last year's letter men to start with, Coach Mead succeeded in forming a team that was recognized as state champion. With the veterans Pivarnik, Klein, Rice, Graham, Cholko, and Ward in the line, and Swezey, De Rosa, and Hanusovsky in the backfneld, helped out by such new varsity material as Miska, Sisko, Walsh, and Shrieber, the boys succeeded in sweeping their opponf ents before them. Of the eleven varsity men, Pivarnik, center, Hanusovsky, fullback, and Miska, tackle, received berths on the allfstate team. On September 24 the season opened with the Carmel Hall game. Although this school defeated Harding last year, we were victorif ous in this encounter 7.2f0. After winning the second game from Ansonia, the eleven visited Naugatuck, where they mct their only defeat. Evidently spurred on by this tumble, they easily won their next four games. The last game of the season, played with Central High, aroused great enthusiasm both in the rival schools and in the Whole city. This game was hotly contested throughoutg never' theless both teams showed their usual ine sportsmanship. When the final whistle blew, Harding had won the city championship by a 1297 victory. The crowd of about 7,000 that witnessed this contest was probably the most colorful in the athletic history of Bridgeport's schools. At the banquet given the boys by the Fathers' Club as the closing event of the sea' son, the squad wisely chose Albert Hanusovf sky for next year's captain. He has been var' sity fullback for two years and hopes to pilot a winning team in 1928. Following the ban'
