John Fix Frank Firth , - if fl z ' la. , Jia. l' ,- i z '- lr' u -Q rt 53 5 M A i 2 t ICTORY once more blazed across the grid- iron for the never-beaten Prep. 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

: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.
