FOOTBALL TEAM STRUGGLES AGAINST ODDS The 1952 edition of the Football Marines was strong in both talent and spirit but weak in experience. Coaches Ilowit and Polin were forced to shape the squad around a core of five veterans, of which only two survived the entire season. As in the past Long Beach went all the Way with the standard single-Wing offense and its deceptive Back-Lateral series. Unlike last year the Marines did not use the T , On occasions they passed and ran from a very unorthodox spread formation with the backfield deployed far to the left or right. Throughout the season injuries were our strongest foe. They claimed twelve victims, seven of whom were on the first string from the outset of the season. Despite our record the l95l-52 season was far from a total loss. If nothing else we gained a lot of experience and many a good time. To quote the highest authority on the subject, Coach Roy Ilowit, If nothing else it was fun . SOCCER, A SIXTH PERIOD GAME There's a swift kick that looks good, it is, itis a goal for Long Beach. Well that's not the way it Went all season, but the team showed a few spurts of greatness during many of the games. Led by the tactful and inspiring coaching of Doc Galowin, we did win two games and tied one. The seasonis big game with Valley Stream fwhom we had already beatenl on the after- noon of November 2, l95l at home in the midst of a downpour. It got so dark that the flood lights had to be turned on to keep the game going. Long Beach broke the scoreless deadlock with a goal kicked by Bob Governale. Fighting their way thru mud and rain the spirited Long Beach team held Valley Stream until late into the third period when they tied the score. As time ran out neither team could score. At the end of the regulation 40 minutes of play, the two captains decided to play over- time periods. Slipping all over the field, neither team could score the precious goal for victory and it ended with a moral victory for both sides. All in all the team had a very good record. Tommy Snow, the captain of this year's team was voted to the All-Scholastic Soccer Team. TWELVE
