Road.’’ Early in the first period Maynard had i chance to score but missed when a pass from Ed Romanowski, intended for Gene Robinson, was in- tercepted. The start of the second period saw them on Con- cord’s ten, but once more they failed to come across, and Concord took over to march 88 yards to a score, highlighted by the running of Dick Finan. A for- ward pass gave Concord. the point after touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Maynard once more lost the ball, this time on a fumble and it lead to a 21 -yard jaunt by Basile for touchdown number two. At half time Concord led 14-0. Maynard was next to score as Jerry Robinson went wide, making a ' 23-yard jaunt that was by far the classiest run of the day. This T D came after Maynard had twice been stopped on the twenty. The conversion failed and the score stood 14-6. The scoring was climaxed in the fourth period when Tony Basile smashed over from the four. After he crossed the goal he fumbled but a teammate recovered and Concord was the victor 20-6. Basile, Pearson and Dick Finan were out- standing for Concord, while Ed Romanowski played good ball, returning to the quarterback slot after an injury to his back. Jerry Perpetual Motion” Robin- son, scoring Maynard’s only touchdown, was the high- light in the defeat. Maynard 13 — Wayland 0 October 16 Maynard got back in the win column with a re- sounding 13-0 victory over Wayland at the latter’s field. It was Maynard’s fourth victory against one defeat, all four victories coming by the shutout route. Maynard tallied their first touchdown in the opening period when Ed Romanowski hurled to Bill Howes, who flipped the pig skin to Scoop Viola for the score. In the second period Dickie Alberi twisted and turned his way through the Wayland team to score standing up. Joe Corcoran finished the day’s scoring by split- ting the uprights for the point after, making it May- nard 13 Wayland 0. From this point on it was a see-sa- v battle all the way, with the Maynard line tightening up in the clinch. Jerry Robinson romped 55 long yards in the last period for what would have been touchdown number three for the day, but it was nullified on a penalty. The game ended with the Orange and Black knocking on the door once more, with the Robinson twins. Gene and Jerry, along with Scoop Viola, Tom Cocco, Pat Greeno and Bill Howes turning in nice work for their Alma Mater. Maynard 38 — Ashland 0 October 23 The Maynard High gridders ran up their highest score of the season by shellacking a not-too-strong Ashland team 38-6. Jerry Robinson started the ball rolling when he galloped sixty-three yards to register, rolling when he galloped sixty-three yards to register. The conversion missed, but it looked as though May- nard wouldn’t have to convert all day. Scoop Viola scored on a four-yard smash but it was called back and Maynard was penalized. In the second period Maynard made it 12-0 as Scoop Viola scored on a short buck. Ashland was next to score as Dick Sheun ran through the team seventy yards for the tally. This made the score Maynard 12, Ashland 6. The Orange and Black tallied once more before the half ended as Jerry Robinson, the unstoppable lad, went over unscathed. Maynard pulled even further ahead in the second half as Gene Robinson went up in the air to make a spectacular catch. This time the point was good. Scoop Viola tallied his second of the day on a 2-yard buck and the point was again added. Dave Higgins ended the scoring for the day by go ing over for the touchdown from the three. Maynard’s line and backs really had a day of it and the standouts from the Bombers were everyone who played. Natick 20 — Maynard 13 October 30 A highly favored Natick eleven edged the greatest Maynard team I have watched this season. Old Lady Luck once more snubbed the Owls who really played their hearts out. Natick drew first blood after a scoreless first period when Dick Clasby drove over from the three. Montgomery converted. After a thrilling first half Natick had a 7-0 lead. Maynard came back on the field full of inspiration and shocked the Natick partisans by marching downfield to a touchdown. Scoop Terror” Viola climaxed this drive by scoring from the five. The all-important conversion missed and Natick led 7-6. The Natick cog started clicking and the team that has been together for three years scored again. ' This time it was on a Clasby to Montgomery aerial ; Mont- gomery missed the conversion. In the last period a march downfield by Maynard, mostly on the parts
