Learning to play football on a high school level can prove to be a difficult ex- perience, as this season's freshman team found out. Although compiling a one win-four loss mark, the scrappy ball- players never lost by more than a touch- down. Tutored by mentor George Sigle, the first Immaculata graduate to be se- lected as coach, the squad had the unen- viable task of mastering draw plays, op- tions, and post patterns.

The other three defeats were by six points to Mater Dei, a two point edging by Bernards, and an eight point licking by Bridgewater-East. Fun- damentals being absorbed in their minds, these boys can now go on to the Varsity and Junior Varsity, carrying on the win- ning tradition of the Spartans. Following a block by Kevin Kilduff. signal caller Arnold Slaby cuts inside for a short gain against Middlesex. Spartan frosh are quickly orientated to the toughefaspects of high school football. Coach George Sigle, returning to the sports scene, in- structs his players on a few fundamentals.

Junior Varsity Football Inspired by the leadership of Coaches Robert Sutton and Victor Dudka, the Jun- ior Varsity Football Team of 1969 faced a tough schedule, emerging with a record of two up and three down with one dead- lock. Spirit was never lacking as the squad continually battled their experi- enced opponents and could easily have escaped with three more wins. The season was highlighted by an open- ing game 18-0 victory over Dunellen, in which a strong defense was detected. After a 6-6 standoff with Bayley-Ellard and a loss to powerful Hillsborough, the future Varsity gridders bounced back with a 20- 2 triumph over Netcong. Two strong ef- forts ended the season, although both ended in upsets-an eight point loss to Bridgewater-East and a four point defeat at the hands of the Green Wave from Del- barton. Keeping in mind that their main goal is to prepare the Young Spartans for next year's eleven, the coaching staff can be generally pleased with the outcome. Coaches Dudka and Sutton go over the starting J.V. lineup before the Dunellen game. On a keeper play, quarterback Ed Cooper runs out the clock in a victory over the Destroyers.
