:ue i.icx.i-tue., .,-.M.,A., Bill Sherengos DOWER MEMORIAL was the next victim of the Iona powerhouse. Despite the fact that it was the muddiest battle witnessed since the All-Star game the previous year, Iona man- ied to work its way to 26 points. Power, one of the best defensive teams in the city, was 'iable to do anything against the speedy Irish. Bill Morris, Tom Carrigan and Bill Golden cked up four touchdowns and two extra points to give the Prep its 26 markers. Carrigan went 35 yards on a quarterback sneak for the first score and soon after,Bill olden repeated this feat by going over on a similar sprint. Bill Morris now began his touch- Jwn revue by breaking off tackle for 75 yards. BilI's second score also went off tackle for a rief five markers. On both occasions Morris shagged passes from Tom Carrigan to stretch is scoring for the day to I4 points. The final game of the year was now in view for the Irish, was, as usual, with their annual Thanksgiving Day rivals Georgetown, of Washington, D. C.

33 Tom Carrigan Sexton nabs a pass against the Mo t h' - un w :le Tim Tormey closes in to clear fhe way T WAS nothing short of sweet revenge when the lrish invaded McGovern field, and came back to New Ro- chelle the proud possessors of a 33-6 win. From the very start the lrish left no doubt as to the outcome. Bill Golden, fleet-footed right wing-back, ran off right tackle, cut to his left and ran 37 yards for the first score. The next score followed a pass from the agile hands of Tom Carrigan to flank-man Bob Sexton. Bob converted after both touchdowns and the Prep led I4-O. In the third quarter the scoring resumed as Bill Morris climaxed a 39 yard drive by plunging over from the elev- en. The only Mount score came later in that period on a three year plunge by Red McGuigan, Tim Tormey fol- lowed this with his first score of the year by literally jumping over the goal to avoid tacklers after sprinting some 37 yards. Bill Morris calmly tore through for a l5 yard six pointer and Bill Golden ended the day's scor- ing by skirting the right end for the extra point. This climaxed one of the greatest wins of the season and brought the lrish face to face with Cardinal Farley Mili- tary Academy, a team that had never before met the Maroon and Gold.

Once again it was scoring ace Bill Morris who ripped for three touchdowns. Bob Sexton converted twice and a first period safety gave the Irish their 22-O win. Although the line appeared weak in spots, actually it behaved brilliantly by allowing no yardage through the forward wall on rushing. lt was the line who put Farley back in its own territory and the two small but mighty guards, Dick Ahern and Bill Sherengos, pounced on a fumble for the first safety of the year. lt was another lineman, Don Page, who spread a hole big enough for touchdown Bill to break through, romp into the clear and race 75 yards for the first score. Sexton sent another con- version through the uprights and as the half ended the lrish were 9 points to the good. Action resumed in the second period with Tom Carrigan tossing to Bill Morris for one score and Bill going over unassisted for a final tally. Sexton converted on one of these oc- casions and the scoring ended at 22-O. Tim Tormey
