JAMES CALDWELL: Halfback, 5' 1l , 175 lbs., Senior Every machine must have a steering mechanism. Ours was Jim Caldwell., Jim, because of his football ability and knowledge, was called upon by Coach Haines to act as field general and steer us through a tough course. Jim carried his burden well. He never failed to detect and to take advantage of a weakness in the opponent's line. A hard runner and an excellent passer, Jim always had an extra ounce of reserve when it was needed. Memory: Jim refusing to admit defeat, battering ceaselessly the Canfield line literally smashing it single handed. BANANAS IUDICIANI: Guard, 5' 5 , 145 lbs., Senior In a machine the device that produces the spark and the energy is called the battery. Our battery was Venanz. Bananas produced the spark and the energy in every game. Always out-weighed but never out-fought, Bananas proved to the Lowellville fans that courage means more than size on the gridiron. Memory: Bananas in the Struthers game breaking through on every play and bringing down the runner from behind. EUGENE CARBONE: Quarterback, 5' 9 , 145 lbs., Senior . To start a machine a key is very essential. In our machine Eugene Carbone was the key man. On every play Buck caried out his blocks with skillful precesion. Playing his first year as a regular quarter- back: Buck performed his task like a veteran. He seldom carried the ball but this did not lessen his effectiveness. Memonry: Carrying the ball twice at Canfield fthe first time in his high school careerl and making a first down. SAM DiCl0CClO: Halfback 5' 5 , 125 lbs., Senior The gears in a machine must fit together and work smoothly in a machine. Sam fitted in perfectly as a running mate for Jim Caldwell. A fast starter, Sammie swept his opponents' ends with a speed that amazed them. Sammie always performed his duties as a safety man to the best of his ability. Memory: Running back Hubbard's kicks to midfield, dodging the opponents ends who were much bigger than he. PAUL CENTOFANTE, End, 5' 10 , 145 lbs., Senior What good is a machine without a bumper? Paul Centofante served not only as a spearhead for the attact, but also as a good means of resistance to any opposition Happy-go-lucky and easy-going most of the time, it was easy to detect when Paul was getting mad! Many a pair of backfield men have found themselves cursing the day of their birth and thinking of going back to learn the fundamentals on block- ing ends, again. Paul got as much enjoyment out of smashing through the-opposition as he did of eating. Memory: Paul's submarining in the Hubbard game that proved that bumpers could be made of harder stuff than steel. In a machine, spare parts often are very essential and necessary. Our reserves never failed Coach Haines when he sent them in to replace a tired or injured player. To such players as Bill Ondra, halfbackg John DeMarsh, center, Jack Maloney, end, Joe Marg, tackle, Albert Stefano, halfbackg Mike Marzetti, guard: and Domenic Tomasino, half- backg goes a great deal of the credit for a successful season. - E531 XXXXXXXXXXXN ........ ...4yg.x,yyx.yygay...........
