Journeying to Hackley for their first road game, the JV's were defeated 35-'IO but scored their first TD on a pass from John Kellog to George Reese. The Maroon and White concluded its season with losses to Rye, 44-O, and Fairfield Country Day, 35-T4. In the latter test, John Galassi and Ricky Washington both scored King TD's. --us. Fit. - ffl.

INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL For the first time at King, an Intermediate Football team was formed, with boys from the fifth and sixth grades participating. Although the team did not win any games, it made a creditable showing. Those who served under Coach Burnett outstandingly were Curtis Watrouse, Tom McLaughlin, John Gardener, Sam Johnson, and Hugh Bigelow. After sustaining a heart-breaking I6-8 setback at the hands of Rippowam Village at home, the Intermediates were routed by Harvey 20-O on the road. In the first game, Curtis Watrouse secured the King TD on a fine run. Venturing to Rippowam Village for a return match, the Kingsmen were defeated by an identical I6-8 count, Tom McLaughlin recorded the Maroon and White six pointer, while Watrouse scored the extra two markers. The Intermediates finished their campaign by dropping a hard-fought, 6-O contest to Harvey. Throughout the season, the squad played fine ball and deserved a much better fate. In part, its lack of success may be attributed to the fact that Coach Burnett's force averaged from 20 to 40 pounds lighter than the opposing squads.
