Hit 'em again .1:.Eiigssi,g 5' TELL' Fighting Irish takes the field V33 UNDER the capable tutelage of Brother Burns and Brother Greene, the lona Junior Varsity achieved one of the best records in its history. These two coaches used their extensive football knowledge in the building of a successful team which won seven and lost but two games. The record in itself seems incredible mainly because they had to face the test of many varsity B clubs. The little-publicized forward wall had much to do with the winning of seven games. Such was the case in the bruising Mamaroneck battle which the lrish copped, 7-O. Another of the great achievements was attained in the l3-l2 victory over All Hallows. Spirited line play rocked the bigger Gaels time and again when it looked as if they would power their way to the lrish goal. Tom McCann clears the way for Reid Proving themselves a capable pair of ends, Martin Gotte and Frank Roche performed admirably at the important flanker spots. Bill Murphy held down one tackle post and on the other side of the line was Don Bainton, an equally rugged performer. The guard slots were manned by Tom McCann and Chris Cork- ery. Tom, a converted back, received the J. V. Most Valuable Player Award for his outstanding performance throughout the season. The center position was filled by Captain Lew Sullivan, who handled the pivot post on offense and backed up the line when the Irish were on defense. These seven stalwarts proved sturdy opposition for any enemy attack. Displaying an array of speedy backs, the Little lrish often scored with sudden swiftness. The T formation quarterback was either Paul Thomas or his able understudy, Al Lennon.
