ga. tgp. lil t i A if ia i Q' 7 CHARLIE BISBEE, END, ALL-ACADEMIC In the second outing of the season the Tigers were again triumph- ant, whipping The jefferson Dragons 12-0, our first victory against the fire-breathers in 25 years. The Big Blue dominated the game from the opening whistle, moving the ball 72 yards. The Tigers took over on their own 28, and moved to the 59 yard line, the Dragons were then penalized and the Big Blue had a first down on jefferson's 46. Frank Massari then looped one to Randy Canal on a pass run option and Canal took the ball to the 10 before the Dragons were able to bring him down. Then Ed. Cimino rammed the ball to the 5 and Massari took it from there to paydirt. The Tigers completed the scoring in the' 4th quarter when Frank Massari combined with jack Kaufman on a pass play of 66 yards. Kaufman grabbed the pigskin on a dead run and kept running to the goal line. jesuit's defense again shone, causing numerous fumbles, nearly scoring a safety, drop- ping the Dragon punter before he could boot the pigskin, and grabbing two pass intelfceptions, one by Massari and the other by Q.B. Les Sumner, who called a great game. joe Whele, a surprise on the defensive line, was truly outstanding in his play. Don Taylor, Todd Bray, Ed Shea, Gus Van Eepoel, Tony Cutrono, Lolly D'Avanza, Jacques Riviere, Charlie Bisbee, and Perry' Rogers were repeatedly brilliant in their duties on the line. George Suarez showed his kicking prowess by punting the Dragons in the hole time and again. S ' ii- if GUS VAN EEPOEL, END, ALL-ACADEMIC STEVE AZZARELLI, HEAD HUNTER AWARD jack Kaufman, a doubtful starter due to a torn hamstring muscle, provided the needed offensive spark in the Tigers' overwhelming victory against Plant City. Immediately after entering the game mid- way in the first quarter, jack was on the receiving end of a 66 yard T.D. pass tossed by offensive and defensive stalwart Ed Cimino George Suarez kicked the extra and put the striking white ahead 7-0. The Tigers again went to the air in the second quarter with signal caller Sumner lofting a pass to Randy Canal for a 25 yard TD play. The extra point try failed, but the Tigers led 13-0. In the third quarter the Planters capitalized on a blocked quick kick and scored. This TD marked the first time anyone penetrated Big Blues' end zone. Kaufman settled the issue in the fourth quarter with a great 9 yard scoring scamper. Suarez booted the extra point to finalize the scoring. Again Big Blues' defense was outstanding allowing no pass completions and only 20 yards rushing. Coach Dicharry praised joe Whele and Don Taylor for their outstanding performance.

In minutes the Big Blue lost a game and an unbeaten season. The Tigers, fresh from 3 straight victories and confident, over confident perhaps, in their ability to go all the way received a rude awakening from a tough Brandon team. Halfback Buddy Schnurr put the biggest dent in the Jesuit defense by scoring 21 points, Brandon lit up the scoreboard on a 51 yard touchdown run by Rick Cornwell and led at the end of the first period 6-0. But the Tigers were not to be denied, In the second quarter, Ed Cimino biilled oser from the 1 climaxing an 811 yard drive to tie it up. Then four plays after recover- ing an Eagle on-sides kick, Jack Kaufman threw the bomb to Randy Canal for 6 more and the Big Blue led I2-6. Brandon came hack with a 2 yard plunge by Schnurr and had it tied at the half. In the second half Brandon showed an exceptionally strong defense and potent offense. Jesuit Q.B. I.es Sumner was injured on a pass reception and taken to the hospital. Jesuit did not score in the second half and ri demoralized Tiger team took it on the chin, 53-I2 for its first loss. ,nw- T7 J. ,h ,ivk VL , il Imt EJ 2 ig ' W 5 ,..1 . 1 A ,A A x j i ya J r : yi FOOTBALL STATISTICS RUSHING 'TDM' P.A.T.
