Football Team I-las Rough Season AAA PAGEANT-LOWELL, 0-BALBOA, 6 Coach Bill Feiling fielded a green but highly spirited club for the third Annual Prep Football Pageant. The Indians drew the number of a strong Balboa team and dropped a hard-fought 6-0 game. Even though the Pageant games last only one quar- ter, they .afford the various coaches an opportunity to judge the talents of the boys on their team. Coach Feiling, after the Pageant, made several changes that placed players in positions better suited to them. Soph- omore Keough showed well against the Buccaneers. LOWELL O--GALILEO 8 Galileo beat the Big Red in the first game of the season thanks to a Lion defense that stiffened at cru- cial times. Just when it appeared that the Cards were on their way, a pass would be intercepted or the pi gskin would squirt from the arms of the ball carrier. PAGE FORTY-FOUR The Lions scored on a long pass and when Q.B. Hus- band was dropped in the end zone trying to pass. Thanks to the stinginess of Ballard and Green on defense, Galileo had to resort to a frantic passing at- tack to score. LOWELL 6-POLYTECHNIC 25 The Cards were matched against the champs, Poly, in the next game and it was evident early in the game that the Parrots were a superior eleven. This, how- ever, didnlt stop the Indians from fighting hard. The fine all-around play of Kuhn, Wilkes, and Ad- dison kept the score from mounting any higher. The Indians scored in the final seconds on a pass from Kreuter to Captain Jerry Green. The Big Red narrowly missed scoring in the second quarter when Keough caught an apparent T.D. pass out of bounds.

LOWELL 14-SAINT IGNATIUS 14 Playing their best game of the season, the Indians held playoff contender S.I. to a tie. Heads up defensive play gave the Indians both touchdowns. Don Wilkes recovered a bad pass from center in the S.I. end zone for the first score. The next break came as an S.I. back droped a pitch-out and a 128-pound streak of greased lightning by the name of Larry Husband scooped it up and romped 50 yards for a six-pointer. Bill Pope turned in some great end play in this game. LOWELL 6-BALBOA 41 Having hopes for a good season from the fine show- ing against S.I., the Indians bit off considerably more than they could chew in the form of Bal's playoff- bound Buccaneers. The Indians scored on a brilliant 38-yard pass from Lom to Watt Husband. Even though completely outclassed, the team never quit. Sonny Haber, tackle Calloway, and Lom, a soph Q.B. up from the j.V.'s played well, but you can't stop an avalanche with a picket fence. LOWELL 7fMISSION 30 Clawed, pawed, and mauled by the Mission Bear, the Cards came out of their fifth league encounter still winless. Mission, after a poor start in league play, sud- denly rose up to bat down an Indian team that was eager for its first win. The Indian defense couldn't stop a brilliant Mis- sion ground game. Resorting to desperation passes, the Cards gambled and lost with the Bears taking advan- tage of the breaks and cashing them in for scores. A pass from Lom to Keough brought Lowell's lone score. LOWELL 7-SACRED HEART 7 Dominating the first half, but letting down a great deal in the last half, Lowell was tied by last place Sa- cred Heart. It was quite ironic, for this game was sup- posed to be the lone win this season for either side. Early in the game Lowell marched 80 yards climaxed by a 15-yard pass from Kreuter to Keough for a T.D.! The team threatened several other times but couldn't push it over. Wilkes and Yamabe contributed some excellent play throughout the game. LOWELL 0--LINCOLN 20 In a game that was marked by miscues and a brief flurry of aroused tempers, the Cards dropped the tilt to a good Lincoln club. The loss of Don Wilkes early in the game hurt the team considerably. The Mustangs roared around what would have been his position for two of their tallies. The passing of Lom and Kreuter to Keough and Green threatened constantly, but couldnft click at eru- cial times. The Indians' Yamabe and Daniel played Well. LOWELL 0-WASHINGTON 13 Probably the best thing about the Washington game in the minds of most Lowell rooters, was that it was the last of the season. This was a season when everything happened, most- ly bad, to Lowell. The final game with Washington is a fine example of what happened all season long. The Big Red pushed the Eagles all over the Held, but two intercepted passes gave Washington their points. Pete Flood and Roger Ryman played the best game of their careers, but as in other cases it wasn't enough. FOOTBALL I. Haber carries the ball for yardage as Husband puts on a key block. 2. Yasukuclii.
